It's an amazing player-way better than an iPod
Reviewer: PipeGB from Philadelphia on Jul 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I was kind of afraid that I would make the wrong choise by getting a ZEN player (of which I had ever heard a thing about in my life) in stead of the ultra famous highly over rated iPod, but it was a great choise. Couldn't ask for better sound or image quality, and the fact that I can expand the memory as much as I want makes it even more desireable. Honestly, this is like the major feature by which I was guided. Also enjoy the DJ feature and the mic and radio definitly wraps it up-it's the best paƱyer you can find at a completely reasonable price.
