    Great Player

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 12, 2004 | 161 out of 168 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: Cheaper than Ipod, Better Sound Quality, Better Battery Life, Doesn't Force You to Use Itunes, Good for File Storage Too

    Cons: Slightly Bigger, Not a Million Accessories Yet...

    This little player has served me grea for the past 3 months. It sounds great, runs forever, and didn't quite cost me as much as the same size Ipod. The slightly bigger size doesn't bother me though. It'd be nice to have some acessories... built specifically for it but there are still plenty of ones out there that will work with it. I also use it to hold important files just incase something happens to my computer. A great buy all around. Read more Less

    If you hate Ipod ads, buy this player

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 11, 2004 | 64 out of 68 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: Storage, battery life, cost

    Cons: touch pad sensitivity, unintuitive navigation, player not supported by Real or Napster

    First of all this is an excellent choice. If you're anti Ipod like me, this is definitely the way to go. Sure it's bigger and heavier but it rocks as far as ease of use and handiness.I love my Zen Touch. All my music is on there. The touch pa...d is impossibly sensitive at times but you get used to it eventually and the storage capacity is far beyond what you'll need. The battery just seems to last and last.0 Literally if you're using it on a half-hour bus ride commute you can work for 3 weeks before you'll need to recharge the thing! One of the big cons is that neither Napster nor Real support the player yet. So if you're looking to download from these sites directly to the player, you can't. But supposedly they are working on it. That was my response from Real.Also the carry case they include with the player is totally worthless. There's no window to see what your listening to or to FF or REW or even raise the volume you have to remove it from the case which isn't the easiest thing to do. Blah.Anyway, this is a definite thumbs up. Well worth the money. Read more Less

    Worth a look

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 4, 2004 | 42 out of 44 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: Cost, battery life, touch pad, not an iPod

    Cons: Not an iPod

    Let's face it, if you're looking at this review then you've decided you might not be willing to pay for the ad budget and top-of-the-market popularity of the iPod. In objective terms the iPod boasts better overall features and availabilit...y of accessories, but little else. The sound quality of the Zen is superior as is the ability to play WMAs (the file format of all but the iTunes and Sony music stores). The Zen is noticably thicker than the iPod, but not so much that it causes a problem. When one considers that this extra thickness allows the Zen to enjoy twice the battery life of the iPod it is a "deficiency" I am willing to accept. For those users looking for an MP3 player purely for listening to music, rather than those who wish to be seen with a certain player, the Zen can fulfill this desire for up to 100 dollars less than the iPod if the right online stores are used. It is definitely worth a couple minutes of your time to see if the Zen is right for you. Read more Less

    better value than iPod 20GB

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 2, 2004 | 25 out of 29 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: same as iPod, $100 cheaper

    Cons: iPod looks more cool

    overall i think Creative's Zen Touch is a great mp3 player for a very cheap price compared to similar players around. the slider thing works great, sound quality is good, battery really lasts longer than iPod, and it's very easy to use.there ...are some minor bad things about it, but priced $100 cheaper than the iPod 20Gb, they don't concern me too much.those minor bad things are:1) headphone cables are not symmetrical, mine had one phone's cable very short, the other very long, it looks dumb. maybe it was only mines, dont know. finally i bought some $10 headpones at radioshack.2) 2 times it has frozen when i repeatedly fast forward tracks. i just reset the player and it comes back like new.3) the display contrast isnt as good as iPod's, but i dont really care.4) it's a bit bulkier and heavier than iPod, but i think that has something to do with having a larger battery able to play for twice as long as iPod.again, overall it's like a generic brand of medicine (in a good sense); it does the same thing as the well-known brand, but cheaper, maybe the packaging and marketing isnt as edgy and 'cool', i dont care.

    Awesome Player

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 16, 2005 | 17 out of 17 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: great sound, easy to install an use, awesome price, awesome battery life, small and compact, tons of space, the best value

    Cons: touch pad is very sensative, but not a big issue. fm radio and voice recorder is separate. carrying case is nothing special. non-replaceable battery

    i just got this player and it is the best one i have had. previous to this, i had an apple ipod. i had to buy two because they kept messing up with my computer and they were very delicate. then i purchased the Creative Zen Touch and all the troubl...es disappeard. it is basically the same as the ipod, but it is cheaper, it works perfectly with my computer (PC), its durable, and it is so easy to use. i would have to say the only downfall to this product is the highly sensative touch pad, but im sure ill get used to it. if you want to store your whole music collection in something that is emensely cheaper than the ipod and has all the same features and sound quality, get this product. i bought it for $220 with free shipping!

    Pretty Cool

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 29, 2004 | 12 out of 14 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: Battery life, sound quality, look

    Cons: Touch pad is a little screwy

    I got my zen about a week ago and I love it. It has an enormous battery life. The sound quality is excellent. It looks cool too. The only thing that could be better is the touchpad.

    AWSOME!!! ness

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 1, 2005 | 9 out of 9 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: Holds lots of music, easy to use, Looooooong battery life, comes with pouch and the sound quality is ..WOW!.. o, and the price is really nice.. i got mine for 228.00 with shipping.

    Cons: the touch pad takes a while to get used to, and the software takes a while to get used to also.

    i Just got this and in about one hour i got used to the features of the zen, got used to the software (a little) and uploaded 402 songs to my zen. (mostly because i had my CD's ripped to my comp before i got it). the quality of music is amazing. ...easy to use once u get used to it, and it is all u really need to listen to music whereever (if u have one of those tape thingys that u can plug into MP3s and CD players.) If u are thinking about getting this, do so if...+u dont care about brand (or dont like Ipods)+want to charge it for only about 2-4 hours a week.+have about 8000 songs. (range is between 5 and 10 thousand)+dont care about stop buttondont mind messing with it about and getting frusterated with the touch pad for a while till u get used to it (maybe never)if u want to know anything about it, feel free to email me at solidgroundx@yahoo.com or AIM me at elbowuinthefacex.

    I Trust The Zen Touch More Than An Apple Ipod

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 6, 2006 | 4 out of 4 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: Amazing Price, Holds 10,000 songs (No one is filling over 10,000 I don't see the point in 60 GB with no video), Great Organazation, Great Sound Quality, Great battery life, better than an Ipod

    Cons: VERY RARE occasions it freezes and you need to hit the small reset button (your songs are still on it nothing changes), the touch pad is hard to get used to but easy to get used to

    When I went to the store to purchase a large storage MP3, I was thinking Ipod. Then before entering the store I rememebred all my friends with Ipods, and most of them complaining about the battery, the warranty, and value. Then when I was in the stor...e I saw a sign "WE DO NOT TAKE BACK IPODS AFTER THEY ARE PURCHASED. NO RETURNS". So I knew Ipods already had a cheap value. The Zen Touch to me is everything I really needed. All i wanted was a MP3 with a large amount of space and easy organization, and that's what I received. With 20 GB, the user is allowed to have around 10,000 songs, if you want more pleasue re-think that. I'm a huge music lover, I rap, and im addicted to music, I have 600 songs which is barely a dent, and when I first had it I didn't listen to the songs completley, I just heard pieces, but now I have learned to chill and listen to them as a whole. There is absolutley no point in a 60 GB MP3 player. Even the Ipod Video isn't that great. Yes it's really cool, but they always come out with something better. For now this will do, because I know Apple has had the technology for a Internet based Ipod with video and music, I mean Sony has the PSP. I'm not suprised Apple will come out with a new a "new and improved Ipod" with internet someday. This did just fine. I downloaded all my CD's (which was A LOT), and now I have them esily stored in the Zen Touch. I do recommend it if you want to keep is simple and plain, if you want more than look for something else. I listen to my Zen everyday and I have had it for a year now and its still in great shape. This gives you a great price, great quality, and great music! Highly recommended. Read more Less

    Great Value for the money

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 9, 2005 | 3 out of 4 found this Creative Zen Touch 20GB review helpful

    Pros: Batt. life, great sound quality, price, and did i mention battery life?

    Cons: Touch pad takes some getting used to do

    I received my Zen Touch as a Channukah gift in '04. I had been researching MP3 players for the past 2 months and was determined to find the best one for the money. As we all know the ubiquitous MP3 player is the I-Pod and I as well was looking in...to one. I then came across the Zen touch and thought "20gb...24 battery life...and $80 less than an I-Pod...sounds good to me." I actually bought mine for 200 total on sale, so thats $100 less than an I-Pod. Great deal. For listening to music in the car, on a plane, or in a boring english class, this player will not dissipoint you. Read more Less
