    Zen V Plus 4gb

    By JORGET  Nov 1, 2006 | 28 out of 30 found this Creative Zen V Plus (4 GB) review helpful

    Pros: Everything that the Ipod can't do

    Cons: None

    If you still have not decide which Mp3 player you want, I suggest really suggest you check out the Creative Zen V plus 4gb. It has everything that the Ipod don't, like FM tuner, you don't need to buy a transmitter. Also has video you just nee...d to convert it and your set to go. The price is acceptable I spent 179.99 not like the Nano 4gb that cost 199. The Zen V plus 4gb has the same storage capability like the Nano 8gb but for less. I really recommend this Mp3 to any one instead of the Nano or the Video Ipod. Read more Less

    Very Impressed

    By doorhinge  Mar 5, 2007 | 10 out of 11 found this Creative Zen V Plus (4 GB) review helpful

    Pros: Flash Memory, Small, Good Battery Life, Line-In Encoding, Nice Sound Quality

    Cons: Navigation Could be Easier

    The 4GB Creative Zen V Plus is an excellent mp3 player, replacing my previous player, an iPod Mini. It is small and has good battery life. Obviously the small amount of space available (4 GB) doesn't make it very ideal for video playback, b...ut I am not buying this for video and the screeen is too small anyway. If you want an inexpensive, simple, and compatible mp3 player, I would highly recommend this. I use it along with a Yahoo! Music Unlimited Subscription and I love it. Read more Less

    Zen for Christmas

    By Michael  Jan 15, 2007 | 5 out of 6 found this Creative Zen V Plus (4 GB) review helpful

    Pros: features, size, screen

    Cons: none as of yet

    My wife gave me the zen for Christmas. I was really thinking about exchanging it for the iPod, but after see the size and easy uses, I decided to keep it and have been very happy with it.

    By Scotish Boy  Oct 11, 2007 | 3 out of 3 found this Creative Zen V Plus (4 GB) review helpful

    Pros: FM , Small , Editable Themes and backrounds, Line In recording

    Cons: Mic Recording, Video Playback

    Ok, i have had a lot of mp3 players, samsung yp , ipod 4G 20 gb, ipod Video, and now this cool creative Zen V Plus, ok i have examined it so heres the pros and cons: Pros: Auto convert mp3 to Wmv (for small space or to change format if isnt mp3...), auto video convert, Line in recording very very cool i didnt have that any my ipod :( , Small , a lot of space (1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb and 16gb models) , Fm , Themes, and backrounds (uses user own pics like angelina jolie), Picture viewer with zoom , Price conpaired to other mp3s very cheap, and finally man wow the sound quality! Cons: Only plays converted avi files(using creative video converter in cd), the converted file is too big (4 mins video is about 100 mb!!! ) that dosnt sound right , i think that its all uncompressed (bad bad creative) so just buy it!

    Little but mighty

    By Haly  Sep 3, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Creative Zen V Plus (4 GB) review helpful

    Pros: Small but mighty

    Cons: Poor instruction manual

    I did a lot of research before purchasing the Zen V Plus. I love this little MP3 player!! It is much smaller than I had anticipated, people often ask, "is that the, 'Help! I've fallen, and can't get up thing?&#3...9;" It really is that small, but it holds hours of music, pictures, etc. My only complaint is the nicely packaged instruction manual. It is worthless, unless you want to balance out a wobbly table. Despite the wasted paper Creative Labs used to print the instruction manual, they did make navigation through the device user friendly. After experimenting for about 20 minutes I was able to easily find the options I wanted. The sound quality is amazing with this MP3, and it is quite sturdy (days at the beach & camping have proven that!). The ear buds are not that comfortable, but they do deliver good sound. I'm much happier with the Zen V Plus than the larger, less user friendly iPod. Read more Less

    This is wat I want

    By ThomasK  Dec 13, 2006 | 2 out of 4 found this Creative Zen V Plus (4 GB) review helpful

    Pros: Features

    Cons: not really flat like an Ipod Nano

    This MP3 is what I really want for christmas. It can play video and stuff and costs like € 150. I have been told that creative's sound quality is great, but not like sandisk or Iriver. The only way that Ipod nano could be beter is because its so... flat. And certain people may prefer its design, but not for me, gimme this toy. Read more Less
