Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black)

Digital camera Review: Buy extended warranty
Summary: 2 Stars

In 2008 July I bought 3 Zen 4 MB. After 7 months one of them freezed displaying "Firmware Problem" and Creative replaced it. Today another Zen has the same problem but now, 1 year warranty has expired. I advise to buy it with 2 years warranty.

Digital camera Review: Buyer beware
Summary: 1 Stars

Bought this product 02 April 2008 from Walmart in Suffolk, Virginia. I have used several MP3 players in the past and have never had so much problem with one as this. I use "Rhapsody to go" to load software which works fine with my other MP3 player. I was able to load about 2GB worth of MP3s before the device reported it was full (it's a 4GB version). The system reports it has 4GB, but no additional files can be added after about 2GB. I decided to use the device anyway. Unfortunately, it randomly "locks up" every once in a while (usually while navigating through the menus or after hooking it up to the computer). I decided to check Creative's website. They recommend reformatting the device or loading the latest firmware (I had the latest firmware but reloaded it anyway). After trying all of these things I still have the same problems. Usually works fine if I only put on a few songs and I don't mind sticking the pin in to hit the reset switch (only way to unlock it when it freezes). However, I was expecting a little more for what I paid (at least the ability to use all of the advertised memory). When its working, it appears to be a good little product. However, I'm very frustrated at how much time I've wasted trying to reload my music.

Guess I'll have to buy another one :( ... (definitely a different model/brand to be safe)

Digital camera Review: CREATIVE ZEN
Summary: 4 Stars

The ZEN player was easy to load both music and photos. The music has great sound and is easy to jump from one album to another.
The photo section holds many photos. It says you can increase the storage by using an SD card but I have not figured out how the card works. The instructions are very confusing

Digital camera Review: CREATIVE ZEN MP3 PLAYER
Summary: 4 Stars

PLAYER IS GREAT. BUTTONS ARE A LITTLE SMALL AND THE LETTERING IS HARD TO READ. INSTRUCTIONS HAD ME A LITTLE CONFUSED BUT AFTER GETTING THE OPERATION DOWN THE PLAY IS VERY WORTH WHILE.

Digital camera Review: Cool mp3 player
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my first mp3 player & I really like it. The device is light, handy & cool looking. It is very easy to operate & navigate. The software provided for syncing with a pc is not that great. When ripping songs from a cd, it does find the album information but doesn't copy the album art. With the brilliant screen of the mp3 player it is kind of sad that the album art is not copied. Of course, if windows media player is used to sync songs then the problem is solved. Copying itunes video to the mp3 player takes hell lot of time. Considering how cool the mp3 palyer is the bad pc sync software can be ignored.
