Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen X-Fi 32 GB Video MP3 Player with Wireless LAN and Built-In Speaker (Black/Silver)
Digital camera Review: Creative review
Summary: 3 Stars
So far this product is great. I am having problems with the proper album art coming up when playing any specific album is selected to play. Sound quality is wonderful and appearance nice and compact with easy mobility.Digital camera Review: Creative zen x-fi
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best mp3 player I ever had, for me one of the most important things that a music player should have is the sound quality, and this player has it. Features are fine, simple to operate, credit card size makes it comfortable, specially if you want to put it in your pockets. When you hook this player to your car stereo, if you have an auxiliary input, the sound quality is awesome, can't ask for better sound quality. Is worth every penny, the 32gb will give you a lot of storage. The external speaker was a great idea, sounds very good, specially if you need to put attention to whats happening around you and listen to music at the same time. Headphones quality is very good, sounds powerfull, definitely recommended...Digital camera Review: DIED AFTER A YEAR OF LIGHT USE
Summary: 1 Stars
I've always been a fan of Creative's products. In my prior purchases I always got quality and was overly satisfied, so when I got the Creative Zen X-Fi 32GB in late 2008's my expectations were no different. The player itself is really cool, it's sleek and delivers good (not great) audio quality. The software is awful, but with so many free music transfer programs nowadays it can be looked over. My complaint is that after a year of light use (around 1 hour a day) the thing just died off, it won't turn on at all. I am not very knowledgeable about electronics but my guess is that it's got something to do with the battery. Anyways, I'm sure its going to affect my budget negatively. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew the battery was so badly made.Digital camera Review: DO NOT USE THE INCLUDED SOFTWARE
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a great device, really, but do not, under any circumstances, use the included creative whatever garbage software. When you delete something from the music list in the software, it automatically deletes it from your computer WITHOUT asking you first. I lost about 7 GB of my library. It's also not very intuitive, its slow, and WMP is far better. I've also heard it has real problems with videos, but I have no experience with that. Just use WMP. Really.Digital camera Review: Dead, after less than 2 years
Summary: 1 Stars
This player worked pretty well for less than two years and then completely died. Creative offered no suggestions except that I buy a new player from them. That is not going to happen.
Also, I should say, the Creative Centrale software it comes with is horrendous. Oh, and the SD card doesn't integrate with the library of music stored on the player. Oh, and they stop updating the firmware when a new model comes out. Oh, and it crashes with some frequency. And those nine buttons are ridiculously difficult to use if you're not looking at the player.
The sound is great, though. That's the one and only reason I'd recommend this player. Sadly, it doesn't outweigh it's faults. Not even close.
