Good while it still works

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2009
Review: I bought this mp3 originally as I liked the design and couldn’t afford much else. I found it a very good mp3 and used it regularly for just over a year when the screen started to get dimmer suddenly. In less than a week it was completely blank. As...

The Creatively Cheap MP3 player

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: Save your money and get an ipod because this mp3 player will break easy.
Review: For Christmas of 2006, right after this mp3 player came out, my girlfriend decided to buy me one for christmas as well as one for her self. It was my first product from Creative and didn't know what to expect because previously I owned 3 ipods.

Too light to be a paper weight

Date of Review:  Sep 23, 2007
The Bottom Line: Avoid. The player never accepted a song, nor a charge even after returning for servicing. Creative tells me it may be my computer, although the other MP3 all work fine.
Review: I bought this for my daughter for Christmas as her first MP3 player. It was a spur of the moment decision as the player I wanted was not available.

First I found out that the software could not be run on our older computer, something I...

Screen goes bad quickly

Date of Review:  May 4, 2009
The Bottom Line: Bottom line, as I said above - avoid this product like the plague that infests its OLED screens.
Review: Bought a refurbished ('new' in box though) Zen V Plus 2GB from a local on Craigslist for $20. It worked great for a month and a half, then the screen started becoming noticeably dimmer. Within a week it was black and the player was useless. Reading...

Nice features, pathetic implementation

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2008
Review: Let's face it. All we really want out of an MP3 player is something that will store, sort and play your music files. At first glance, this does just that. However, the unit has issues. I'm now on my 2nd one in less than one year. Both have failed...

Great little player with a couple quirks...

Date of Review:  May 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great player for someone that uses subscription music and wants a sturdy player. Definitely one of the best in the price range.
Review: I bought this MP3 player approximately 2 months ago to keep me entertained at work. I work a warehouse job as a stocker so I wanted an economical player that would hold up to being dropped and banged. Preferably something that wouldn't be completely...

Creative zen V / 2Gig A+++

Date of Review:  May 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: Love it!!!
Review: I had originally had a minidisk player, but got tired of carrying all of the disks around. I won this unit (2G) and was quite pleased with it. I especially liked the size, and the fact that you can hang it around your neck (not like the ipod shuffle...

Excellent small audio/video player with lots of features

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a small and light player that has lots of features, then look no further. This is the perfect iPod Nano alternative at 1/3 the cost.
Review: I got this player to use while running or biking, since my 30GB Zen Vision M is a little too bulky to use for those activities. I got the 1 GB Black/Orange model, although the other models are identical except for storage size.

This player...

Nice when it works, awful experience if it doesn't

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2007
Review: I purchased this player in May 2007 and loved it for about six months; easy to use, sounded great. It never did interface correctly with my computer but I found some work-arounds to get music onto it.
After the six month mark, it froze up...

Keep the Receipt

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2007
Review: Customer Service at Creative seems to have improved very slightly over the year that my daughter has owned her Creative Zen V Plus. I say it "seems to" have because the website makes you think you're getting somewhere when in fact you aren't.
