Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen Nano Plus 1 GB MP3 Player (Blue)

Digital camera Review: Tough but finnicky
Summary: 4 Stars

This was my first player and I wanted it exclusively for audio books. I needed a player that was small and simple to operate with one hand so I don't have to take my eyes off the road while I'm driving or pedaling. I put the player in my front pocket with the pause/play button facing forward and if I see someone approaching I can reach up and slap the pause button (Star Trek style) through the layers of clothing, jerk the ear buds out, converse and after the person clears the area I can resume listening without degrading my manly persona. I've had this unit for 2 years with very little problem. After a month or so it locked up so I got on the Creative website and walked myself through downloading an update and was back in business in no time.
I like being able to operate it with my thumb, however, you need a good thumbnail to do this. When you want to reverse of forward fast you can't be timid because if you let the little wheel slip back a bit it will go ahead or back a full chapter.
This unit either lives in the bottom of my pack or in one of my pockets . These are nasty dirty gritty places filled with nails bolts and other pilfered items and lots of dust. I can barely read the screen anymore because of the dust on the inside of the window. After two years of this abysmal treatment the play button is starting to rebel as it needs a very hard push to turn on or off. All in all it has been a good little unit with only slight annoyances.

The Nano Plus is much more than just a music player; it includes an FM tuner, voice/FM recording, and line-in encoding for direct connection and recording from any audio source. Use the Nano Plus to record music directly from your CD player, without a computer.

Of course, if you do have a computer you can transfer audio and data files in seconds with "drag-and-drop" ease--and without software--using the player's USB 2.0 connection. Meanwhile, the Auto Synchronization feature makes it easy to transfer your favorite songs and albums from CDs through the line-in port. Battery life is outstanding, allowing you to listen to music for up to 18 hours on a single AAA battery. Now you can keep the tunes rolling all day long, and do it in style, as the Zen Nano plus comes in ten fun, vibrant colors. The 1 GB model's flash memory can store up to 500 songs (WMA-encoding, 64 kbps).

The FM tuner lets you tune 32 stations. As mentioned, you can also record FM radio so you can catch your favorite tunes or talk shows later on. The built in microphone lets you record voice conversations -- great for those long lectures at school. You can also use the Nano Plus as a portable mini hard drive, allowing you to store data files such as photos and presentations. The unit's LCD is even reversible for left or right handed operation. Last but not least, the Zen Nano sports equalizer presets (Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock) that make your music sound better.

The Zen Nano Plus uses PlaysForSure technology. Look for the PlaysForSure logo if you're shopping for a portable music or video device and you want to make sure the digital music and video you purchase will play back on it every time. Match the PlaysForSure logo on a large selection of leading devices and online music stores. If you see the logo, you'll know your digital music will play for sure. Choose from a large number of digital music and video stores, including MTV's Urge, Rhapsody, Yahoo!, MSN Music, MusicMatch, MusicNow, Napster, Wal-Mart Music Downloads, and many more.
