- Why you shouldn't buy this product
I've owned two previous Creative ZEN media players and they were excellent until Windows Vista came out.Then I found out Creative would not create updated software.My players became obsolete, I literally could not add new songs/books without tracking down an XP computer first.My ONLY choice (according to Creative) was to upgrade to a newer device.I spent $100's on these two devices (20gb and 60gb sized players) and now they sit on my obsolete hardware shelf.I was so upset I didn't even ...

- Nice Product but Service is Terrible!
Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black)
We own a 32gb and a 4 gb. The battery in each of them only lasts for an honest 8-10 hours even at low volume and with the backlight set as low as it will go. Their claim of 25 hours is completely false!
We purchased the 4gb Zen 2 mo ago. The SD card slot doesn't recognize any card although the cards work in the 32 gb Zen w/same version software. E-mails to Creative customer service have been exasperating. They completely miss the ... Read More

- Need a player for audio books?This is the one!!
I had originally purchased a Microsoft Zune because I thought it would be user-friendly like its other products/programs...WRONG!So, back it went and I did some more research and chose this Creative Zen and I am so very pleased with it!!
PROS:
1.Great price for 16gb
2.Very user-friendly.I was able to add music, videos and pictures without a problem.In fact, when I tried to add a picture to the Zen that was not compatible, the Zen program asked if I wanted it to ... Read More
Rating: - Zen 16 GIG - Linux User
I had a NANO with 2G and that just wasnt' doing it for me, not enough space, but i loved the size of the device.I travel a bunch for work (Planes) and weight is an issue, so I need a device that is small.
Well the ZEN is all that and more, I paid 139 for the 16G version and I love it.I use it with Linux with ZERO issues.If you are thinking about using with Linux you will need Gnomad 2, at least to sync the device.Works great, I am sure there is other SW for linux but this works ... Read More
Rating: - White Screen of Death- No firmware fix forthcoming
I wanted to like the Zen.In fact, I did like the bright screen, ability to use an sd card, etc.However, in the last year, it has slowly developed the dreaded "White Screen of Death".At first, I was able to get my screen back by getting a song to play and then putting the unit into hold.Taking it out of hold would restore the screen. Lately, nothing works,I have tried everything- downgrading the firmware, upgrading the firmware, rebooting, resetting- nothing works.It's basically a brick, ... Read More
