Easy to use, long battery life, works with VISTA. I have owned 2 other creative products, and would only ever continue to purchase from Creative. Ipod Sucks. Great color screens, allows videos, and personal photos. Very easy to use, computer application. —… read full review »

Ok for its price range and capacity

I hve had this player for a year now and it has a nice storage capacity but the screen and controls leave a little to be desired. I like the category features but the screen could stand to be a bit larger and the buttons more detailed and defined. I am now looking into other creative… read full review »

After seeing all my friends pull out their iPod nanos, I had some serious mp3 player-envy. I wanted to be able to pull out my favorite song at a moments notice, but had balked at iPod's high price for a limited investment. Most people have stated to me that the battery gives up after 3 years. So I did some research and found the Creative website. The Zen is the equivalent of the iPod Nano, and the Stone is the equivalent of the iPod Shuffle. — I purchased a Zen V Plus (the high end model) for half of the price of a Nano. So far I am very happy… read full review »

Great product, though only holds about 500 songs...

I love this MP3 player. I was trying to find something without video and pictures, since I was only going to be using it for music but this was a good choice. Only problem, if you do decide to load pictures and videos onto the player, it will take up a lot of space. I have less than 500 songs on the 4GB player and I can only assume that if I had added a video or two that it would be much less. The battery life is amazing, but you do have to buy the charger seperately. The player does charge itself while you are loading files to it, but it takes a bit longer to charge up using this method.

Not an iPod but just as good for a better price.

With all the hype over iPods it is good to see there are alternatives out there that are just as good if not better and won't leave you broke. Creative labs has been around for years making sound cards and PC speakers. Now they have their hands in the MP3 player market. This is a strong company with a great product. The creative zen v plus is a comparable version to the iPod it comes in a number of sizes from 1 GB to 16 GB and a variety of colors. Fuctionality is easy to learn and has a slider bar for scrolling and volume which also serves as a touch pad. … read full review »

The Best small Mp3 Player with Video capabilities on the market

2008

Creative has the very best Mp3 players on the market today. They may not have so many different ones but that is because they did it right the first time. The Zen V-Plus has all that you could ever want with various different sized storage. You can watch and store video clips, music and pictures all in one unit. The videos are very clear in a small window but compact is the way to go. You can also zoom in on pics. It is very hard to mess up anything by accidently pushing the wrong button. Also if you decide you don't want something on it it is very easy to delete that… read full review »

Purchased at Circuit City.com for $80.00. Very happy with this unit. 2G is plenty of space for the music I wanted in and reproduction quality is all I hoped it would be. Only complaint I have is that the supplied earbuds,although they sound great,are too large and quickly become uncomfortable. I picked up a pair of SkullCandy phones(also at Circuit Ciy.com-$27.00) and everything is A-OK. Absolutely no regrets about this… read full review »

I love this player! I like to listen to audio books and it has features just for that use!

Creative zen v plus with 4GB is great because it allows me to listen to only music I love and and have on cd's and cannot use cd's in the car. It works no matter where I am because there is always radio space available. Having the 4GB is large enough for me to list me favorite songs and never allows me to be board while traveling long distances. The sound is great and no distortions. — … read full review »

I LOVE ZEN! Zen has been making the best products ever! I decided to buy a zen instead of an I pod and I couldn't be happier! It maybe a little bit larger and bulkier but my Zen has stood up to some pretty crazy things! Including being run over by a car. It has lasted longer, gotten scratched less and has way better sound quality than my sister's I pod nano. Zens are a must have for Music… read full review »

I bought this for myself a couple of months ago and love it. It is easy to download songs and to use. The price is so much better than the Ipod. I love that you can make playlists and pick and choose what you want to listen to. The sound quality is great and it is small and good looking. You can also pit pictures on it. I highly recomend… read full review »
