In plain English: The player has a very good sound, the display is superb, the arrangement of the symbols clearly and the accompanying headphones can be heard compared to other players. Even the radio is useful and has a decent reception.
That was it but also: The on and off switch is located so closely with the lock switch that the shutdown of the system unit for luck. The operator guidance via touch screen as such is well thought out - but completely useless because insensitive. The vertical scrolling - pure horror. Even after the latest firmware arise only slight improvements. Frankly, the software is an outrage. To transmit video in the appropriate format device for gaming - the duration of the conversion, if it succeeds then - requires real nerve. The Creative Centre says goodbye between Windows 7 like to.
These shortcomings limit the mobility of the device a very: unless you sit quietly on a couch and looking at the whole thing as a welcome concentration exercise. Who wants to use the device, for example on the road or in sports and shamelessly expects the operation simple, quick and reliable is serving - sometimes feels the uncontrollable desire to Sch .. smack against the wall. Compared to my old Sandisk player usability of this device is an unexpected step backward. The comparison with the operation of iPod touch forbids itself.
Everyone has to decide for themselves what is important in practice. My Opinion: What is the use of sound and display qualities, if the user only with difficulty that gets to hear what he wanted to hear and see. One can only hope that soon Creative nachbessert.
I would recommend this unit at least for present state of the "firmware" not recommend and am going to buy certainly no MP3 player from Creative more. A company that such "banana ware" brings under the people heard mE ignored !!
