User Reviews: Creative Zen V Plus (2 GB)
1 year and still love it
Pros: all the stuff the iPod does plus more and less of a price
Cons: not very good with Windows Vista yet
I spent about 6 months educating myself on mp3 player specs and slogging though search results before I finally decided to buy my Zen. I loved that it looked sorta like an iPod without being a knockoff and that I was getting all the stuff an iPod can do without having to pay extra for a little picture of an apple on the back of it. In addition to the obvious music playing the Zen has a great photo viewing capability that also allows you to set one of your pictures as your background which surprisingly nobody mentioned in any of the reviews I read so it was a really nice surprise when I got it. It's also got an FM radio which is really great for those days when you're just really bored with all your music. I haven't really played with the video player too much but thats in there too. Another great thing is that the Zen is Plays For Sure guaranteed so you can use any download service and file type you want (except I don't think iTunes works). Oh and I almost forgot the little built in microphone that records with really great sound for a built in tiny microphone, and converts it to a .wav file.
The Zen comes with a bunch of software that I expected to use once and then uninstall in favor of Windows Media Player but actually loved until I upgraded to Vista. Creative is, like everything else, still catching up to Vista's stupidness and right now whenever I want to add files I have to manually copy them from my computer to my player but I'm hoping that with the promised slew of Vista updates this winter there will be something to help my poor little self.
Until this little thing with Vista I was extremely impressed with Creative's online support. About a week ago I emailed them to ask if there was anything else I could be doing to make everything run smoothly post Vista and was promised a response in 24 hours but in a week thay still have not answered me.
I docked off one in the durability points only because there is a small hardly noticeable crack in the joystick of my Zen that I am pretty sure was caused by being in my backpack and then having my 30 pounds of books slammed into it when I threw down my backpack at home. Yes in case you havent noticed I'm a little hard on my gadgets :-).
But anyway I am VERY happy with my Zen and there is probably alot of amazing stuff about it I forgot to mention but here you go. Zen is love, Vista is evil, have a nice day!Was this review helpful? Yes - NoDisappointing
Pros: Good sound quality, compact and cute appearance
Cons: Freezes up on me frequently, does not charge with a car charger, only when plugged in to a computer
I have no problem with the battery life or features. I have been very frustrated by my Zen V Plus because frequently it freezes up. Often it is in the middle of a song, and suddenly it won't continue the song or escape out of it. So far I have just had to let the battery die down and then recharge it. Apparently there also is something available to help with this on the website. Also I bought a car charger with a plug in that fits the Zen, but it will not charge from my car- only when plugged into a PC's USB port. If I could do it over again I would have payed the extra money for an I Pod.

My husband bought me this for my workouts and it works great. It's very durable and so light I barely even notice that I'm wearing it. For the price you pay, you are gettin a lot of really cool features.

Pros: great radio
Cons: computer unrecogniable
Like the size. Bought based on CNET reviews on how great it was. Should have done more back ground checks on blogs. Most users are finding that their computers are not recognizing the connection. After atleast 10 attempts to load/reload/unload and start all over again with Creative rep on the phone and still have not been able to use the MP3 side of the player. VERY EXPENSIVE RADIO!
