Excellent overall, slightly pricey, SD integration poor
Reviewer: Paul S from Minneapolis on May 25, 2008
82 out of 88 found this review helpful

The video is better than anything else I've seen, the sound is exceptionally good though I hear the Sansa Clip may be better.

Finding your music is a breeze, the included software (which you can also download from Creative dot com) integrates the Zen into your computer and converts video that isn't compatable (wrong codec, right codec with wrong size, etc.) for whatever reason. The conversion can take two hours or maybe more.

The Zen doesn't integrate the SD expansion card well, you have to importthe songs/videos from the card into free space on the Zen itself before you can play them. This almost defeats the purpose of the expansion port, not entirely though.

Watching TV shows longer than 41 minutes can lead to headaches, but the picture is sharp enough that you can follow the action on Law and Order, for example.

I scratched the front and it doesn't affect the picture at all.

The FM reception is fine for the city, not great but listenable especially if you're listening to talk. It wouldbe nice to record from FM, which this doesn't.

Voice recording seems sensitive enough for most tasks, quality is fine.

$100 seems pricey for 4 gigs, but the screen is gorgeous, and the expansion port makes this worth it as the price of SD cards continues to drop.

A great music player for the money
Reviewer: customer from Pittsburgh on Nov 8, 2008

A little difficult to navigate all the features, but the quality of the music and the features themselves especialy the expandable memory more than make up for it.

Great product for the price
Reviewer: gdjohn from Greenville, SC on Oct 26, 2008

Real happy with the sound quality and ease of use.

Battery lasts and recharges very quickly

Versatile in different file formats.

After several drops... seems to be built tough.
