  • I've had one for years now and its only a little buggy, but thats to be expected with all electronic devices. The sound though....top notch.

  • Don't buy Creative Zen products, battery dies and no replacement, you can spend more money to buy some of their junk when you contact Creative

  • does this product have good sound quality and is it loud, much love mark ;)

  • I'm using this until I get a new iPod, because my my iPod Touch's backlight went out., rendering it almost unusable. But I had this thing from a while back as my backup player. It's great.

  • give me link where I can buy and how much h can listen music ?

    I need something 20 h + have idea ?

  • is it any good to watch a movie on it like is it big enought and good quaility???

  • I would not call this a review, although this video was very helpful and showed alot of funtions that other videos havent, so thank you =]

    Please can I ask if anyone knows if you can shuffle the playlist you a listening to, not 'random play all', is the shuffle option in playmode? =]

  • the 32gb are out of stock AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrDecember18 i have reset it loads of times. i use my sisters one for films since after she dropped it in a sink full of water. i took it apart and dried it and put it back together. after all that she doesnt want it :L

  • i've had my creative zen 16GB for a couple of years now. now i hav a problem.

    the brightness of the screen seems to be permanantly on 10%. if i go into settings and change it to 100% it displays that it is 100% but is still as bright/dark as 10%. this is really getting on my tits now that im trying to watch films in darkness and i like the 100% brightness as it gives it a vivid display.

    any feedback or help is very much appreciated.

    thank you

  • you need to add some sound

  • anything but ipod? those sure look like ipod headphones

  • @staphoz :))

  • MY Zen won't turn on... I tried the reset and charging it to the computer.... HELP Anyone!!!!!

  • @lionstar2222 it happened to me too!i kept it connected 2 the pc for a while and it came on.try goin to creative's website i hope i helped

  • wheres the review?

  • Is zen or zen mx better?

  • I would say the Creative Zen MX ist better. Although the Zen in this video is a Creative Zen MX

  • i was thinking to buy MX goood i didnt buy it coz u need to convert videos in some format that takes way too much memory

  • @Mensie

    wtf r u talking about it plays all formats. the movies only take like 300-400mb

  • im talkin about the MX.. it just plays some format made by creative not like ZEN with avi divx etc.. dickhead

  • @LloydDaBartender Definitely regular Zen is better. MX is basically a stripped down version of Zen to reduce price.

  • loud buttons

  • very tiny

  • what is the battery like on this thing as i am thinking of buying one

  • It's great. You should buy one, you won't regret it.

  • 25 hours

  • does the zen 4gb have the wirless chat thingy

  • The Zen doesn't have wireless LAN. Your probably thinking of the Zen X-Fi, which has Wireless (only the 16GB and 32GB versions)

  • no, there is not

  • oh ya mine is 1 year old just press restart dip....

  • I would not recommend getting this player. It works for a short while and then something messes up. I had mine for about 6 months and then screen started acting up. It stopped for a bit. And then about another 6 months later. It got the White Screen of Death. I have tried to fix it. And still does not work.

  • your screen didnt work after a while too?! i had a zen v and the screen went in less than a year...it just started fading and eventually the screen went completely black.

  • 2 mistakes- the earphnes are working just half year, and the screen is very easily scrapes, but it is a very good player

  • hey i have a qustion when i hook my zen up to my pc ZEN Media Explorer says my divce is not connected do you no how fix this

  • whatever you do don't get this media player!

    The creative Zen has major problems, crashes and turns off...then won't work again.

    Its a shame cos its such a neat nifty device :(

    Mine lasted two days...returned it an went for an Archos instead. Its worth the extra money!!

  • now maybe it  was just you that got a defective player my good sir...

  • help what kind of videos can it be played?

  • Should I get this or the Zune?

  • u have to pay 4 the music for ur zune and u have to pay to listen to ur music.

    het the zen,so much bettre

  • in terms of value the zune would probably be cheaper at this point 8gb zen $100 120gb zune $250 or 230 somewhere... but since your comment is a month old hope you bought the one you wanted...

  • No, I did not buy it yet. I should get the Zune, hey?

  • How do you move songs from the device to the memory card?

  • i had this mp3 player for about 7 months, nothing is wrong with it, it was perfect in every sense! but my only problem with it was that it broke, and this was a common problem for the mp3 player as it was just stuck at the loading screen.. still good though

  • ehm didnt you get it fixed then? you know guarantee?

  • I tried using a blackberry wall charger with this and it worked perfectly. They don't even give you a charger, all you get is a mini usb cable.

  • the usb cable is the charger :P

  • Yes, i'm aware the ubs is the charger. However, it doesn't charge for shit.

  • yeah were do i go to download music to windows media

  • please someone help??!!??

  • Lol, about 2 months ago, I used it on lesson, after lesson my screen was white... still it's white... I don't know what happened...

  • it's a firmware problem you need to get the newest firmware patch on it.

  • No, it isn't :(.

  • i need help.. i dont know what happened. i went to turn on my zen this afternoon and it was freaking out, kept flickering white to black. then around supper, it just went black wont start. wont do anything. i had it for 1 year and 4 months. (got it for x-mas) but still, it wont do anything, i even click the reset button and it dont WORK!!! is there any way that i can fix this? its an awsome mp3 and it worked great. it has no scratches and never got wet. dropped once around 7 months ago.

  • not all that great...sansa fuze is way better and with the zen, you have to keep pressing buttons but you just use the circle on the fuze and it is much faster

  • zen has better headphone output

  • Fuze has ugly menu. IMO

  • Someone can rec shortcut to "all tracks" in shortcut key?

  • can someone help me with videos on it?

    my zen is 2 gb, and it cuts off the last ten seconds :(

    i don' know how to fix it!

  • it sucks - after a while, i have it for about a year and when u turn it on the screen is white. U can hear music playing, u can navigate trough the menu if u remember where hings are. Many of my friends have the same problem, and they dont know how to fix it. I can restart the player with a needle in the hole but i cant do that always when im running for an examle. Good battery life but with the white screen problem i give it 2/5

  • are there the holes for putting a little strap so that it can hang from my neck??

  • When you put the SDHC card in it, you can view the contents (Like movies?). And what is the maximum cap of SDHC it supports? I want to get the 16gb edition + 4gb for video SDHC

  • Well, at least we all had a couple years with our freedoms protected on the internet.

  • Currently, the RIAA is planning to install a software in every computer that is mandatory that watches every single little thing you do on the computer and internet. The Pirate Bay (a torrent site) is on trial for defending our community. I sure hope they win, then our privacys are still available.

  • the software thing is pretty bad sounding :/ i guess for older computers you'll' get the bloody software with some sort of update that you need, with out knowing about it.

  • The Zune Marketplace removed their DRM, but it doesn't matter because you cannot keep songs you have purchased from the subscriptions. Warner Bros just deleted every Warner Bro material on youtube, so I don't think they will remove DRM. Anyways, most of the sutff I listen to is not associated with the RIAA, so I have no worries of being tracked down.

  • Well they did it already, and why did I say 10,000 songs? I ment itunes has currently over 1,000,000 songs, sorry, typo. And currently everyday they are getting rid of DRM so I can share music with my friends. Apple still has another 200,000 songs to turn into DRM. Also, there is software where you can erase DRM from itunes music and you can wrap it up into a mediafire so your friends can have your music.

  • that is soo true.. itunes is a pain in the ass way of tranfering music. when i wanna take song from my friend i cant plug my ipod in his computer and just transfer those few tracks.. Guess thats apples way of preventing music sharing and i frikin hate is so much

  • i just bought this, brand new from a friend who won in in a lucky draw for 30 bucks.. and i love it! sd card slot is cool.. i nvr use it tho cause i need my sd card for my psp lol

  • Oh My God Dude thank you, my lcd screen brock (may have been my fault ) and now i can't see anything and becouse of this video i can now search through my playlists, i don't belive there is a thank you strong enough for you. if i could i would praise you like people praise jesus that's how much i thank you for this help.

  • omg get on with it rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • I enjoy ipods, but not itunes. I prefer to get my music free using torrents. If you convert everything in your library to drm free you can play them on any computer. I was given an ipod 2 years ago and it's not bad. Actually, I don't care, as long as I have an mp3 player. Currently itunes has 10,000 songs, 8,000 are drm free, by the end of the year apple promised everything to be drm free, unlike zune...

  • Any1 know know if this plays music videos? Thanks.

  • of course it does,itz a video?

  • I appreciate the uhum... walkthrough of your player. But I am tired of people recording their new devices and not providing any commentary at all and then suggesting in the title that it is somehow a review. What have you reviewed? It only confuses the process of finding a REVIEW of a device see?

  • well, it should be called overview, I agree with you, but he uses commentary on his later overviews for his reviews.

  • Yeah. Video walkthrough, or demo.

  • well, it's still nice because it really gives us a view of how it looks like to browse through each mp3 player. The Creative Zen is a good brand if your looking for an alternative to the ipod. But to be truthful I like the ipod, sure it's not flawless but most mp3 players aren't. The zune is nice, but the only problem is that you can only play purchased songs from the zune marketplace.

  • I still must disagree, Creative dropped the ball HUGELY with this player. ALMOST EVERYTHING about the player is nice, the screen, album art, video, good colorful graphics, nice menus, etc... BUT... your SD card is not INTEGRATED as part of your library!!! So if you have a 2GB Zen, and you get a 16GB SD card, those songs that are on your 16GB card WILL NOT APPEAR in your library, or list of artists and albums. You will only be able to view the files like a plain list. Sandisk Fuze DOES INTEGRATE

  • Also my point is that this is not a review, no features are discussed. This is just a demonstration. I was looking for a review here at youtube but get sidetracked by members who incorrectly label their videos. I still appreciate the demo, but the video could be better labelled.

  • Wow, got to check out the Sandisk Fuze, music be really nice. I never liked putting in SD cards... that's just my opinion.

  • It's not really a matter of "liking" SD cards. It is that 16GB SD card costs $30 right now. And it costs probably an extra $80-$100 to upgrade the Zen from 2GB to 16GB. So it is a matter of economics, not preference. The Sansa Fuze integrates your SD card music to your library, and has a circular selection wheel for navigation, rather than doing a bunch of "clicking" around the interface.

  • wow, so the Sansa Fuze could save you a lot of money.

  • You have to go to the sd card part of the menu to see it.

  • wait what you can't put songs on that you've already purchased from Itunes?

  • of course not, unless your willing to update all your songs on your itunes library to drm free by paying 30 cents a song.

    Then you can put it in any mp3 player.

  • the clicking sound is anoyying

  • looks nice i just order one it on my way lets see how it does

  • can you rotate the screen? 180° or 270° or 90°?

  • i dont think so

  • you charge it rite ???

  • Yes.

  • i've been hearing these stuffs about White Screen of Death? can someone explain to me what it is, and does it really happen to the Zen, ways to solve it, etc..

    and some users have been saying that it freezes, video playback is poor (supported formats not as mentioned)..

    any thoughts?

    cz im planning on buying this Zen, and i pretty much dont wanna waste my money on something that doesnt work as promised..

    thx!

  • can u set pictures as a wallpaper?

  • yes

  • ive got a 4gb one their nice their better than the ipod

  • you can delete and edit the radio presets. i currently only have 5 stations preset, the rest are empty. i'd tell you how to do it, but if you are smart enuff to upload to youtube, then im sure you can figure out the radio presets....

  • I have one, I love it, I love my Ipod, but this is so much better for watching my little movies and funnies, I love the fact that with the card I can expand it to as big as the SD card is :D

  • *drool*

  • I read somewhere when you add an sd card you cant shuffle through songs?

  • why do you hate ipods?

  • because they suck.

  • because they drag u in u have to youse ther spekers ther headphons ther software ther expensive tat

  • Ya, their crappy itunes sucks. It's hard to organize your music, and as soon as you plug in your ipod, it just throws every song you have on to it, I hate it.

  • he doesnt hate ipods, just there are better out there for a better price.

  • ipods are so expensive, here watch the price for ipod headphones are 30$!!

  • zen thats wut im getting

  • make sure to get a case.

    myne got scratched alot when i stop putting on screen protecter =X

  • please reply! whats better the zen or insignia pilot?? sony walkman or sansa fuze?? because im thinking of gettin a new mp3 player... rite now i have a philips go gear mp3 player..

  • i saw this in curcuit city today

    it was so thin i swear

    and the screen was gorgeous

    i suggest the zen

  • Do not get a sony walkman! They are horrible. Sansa's are good. The fuze is a great deal, but too me ZEN is the best it has a bigger screen for about the same price. Thats the only difference

  • Sony Walkman (NWZ-A720, A810, A820) aren't really horrible. It has great sound and video quality, and headphones are nice...BUT putting videos on it can be very complicated (based on personal experience).

    But if I could choose another player besides my Walkman, I'd definitely go for ZEN. It also has great sound quality, a high-resolution screen, and has a lot of features.

  • I've had the 2 gb one for bout a year now and I have been very satisfied. The video quality is good (although converting videos to a specific codec can be frustrating) but the pictures are gorgeous.  It preserves almost the exact same quality that was on your computer screen. Not to mention you can stuff in an sd card if you run out of space. I definitely recommend this if you want something with songs, video, and pictures.

  • can u put your pics as backgrounds and wallpapers

  • yes

  • i just gotten one as well but i think the battery life could be better. i mean you have to charge it for a long time but it dies out to quick.

  • im condidering getting a creative zen,prob is i dont have a slot for the sd on my comp,does it have a wire that connects it to the comp?

  • I got bored after 2 mins, is this actually a review or do you just hold the Zen for 10 mins and not say anything?

  • got my zen yesturday! i recomend it for anyone looking for a good mp3 player

  • thats awsome im sooo getting that and i luv teardrop by massive attack

  • the zen looks awsom...i have a ipod nano 2nd gen. and i want something that plays videos and im kinda tired of the ipod..anyone got any advice?

  • same thing here!

  • get the zen, you can buy an sd card and store it with youre fav. movies, :)

    + photos

  • P2 all the way my cuz has the zen, poor sound quality the p2 has about 50x the sound quality than the zen and higher res screen bluetooth and DNSe

  • ferrari ur making shit out of ur ass creative is one of the leading companies in sound quality u realy gonna believe this guy, he's just saying this b/c he has the p2 not the zen, although the p2 is good tho i like the touch screen and so on but zen has good sound quality

  • zen or p2...???????????

  • yea i was thinking the same thing

  • when i select add to selected, and the selected song ends, that song does not play.

  • Have you guys seen ScytheSylph´s videos? What an asshole! Complains about zen when it locked up because the video wasn´t properly encoded! WTF he even but that video in there!

  • ya i saw it the first day the vids were uploaded. if you go a few page back on the coments in his vid youll see my long ass coments.....ya it was christmas break and i had nothing better to do ok?

  • can you put lyrics?

  • if i run out of room can i put movies on the sd cards?

  • yes

  • how do u put music on the sd cards

  • put the card in your computer and then just drag and drop the files

  • for real??

    because in my desktop there's no way i can do that so that may not be true.
