Nice update for the X-Fi

After a few days in the car and use the gym, I am pleased to have dared to switch from my Zen X-Fi 16GB on the Zen X-Fi2 32GB.
The display is larger, the menu simple and clam ulicher.
One of the best features in my opinion is the absence of coercion of Creative Centrale.
Files can now also be easily moved over the Explorer.
This is especially advantageous if you videos on the player (who now can play more video formats than its predecessor) wants to play or may just want to quickly play a new album.
Matching you can play the videos and images (via a separately sold cable) to the TV.
The annoying Convert remains spared and the 32GB it does not matter whether one is 300MB or 600MB movie movie plays (depending on available memory, of course ;-))
On the WLAN function can be MMN. wonderful refrain.
Whether one reads RSS Feeds by yourself, you need to update only the PC before, is questionable. I will not. But the function there.

Unfortunately, there are also a few cons, so now even a pros and cons list sometimes compared to Zen X-Fi:

+ Large, very clear display
+ Touch screen with quite intuitive operation
+ Very good headphones
+ Very good sound quality - depending on the quality of the files you lose yourself properly in the music
+ The X-Fi sound enhancement is even more precise than the previous set
+ Random play now truly random songs
+ Video output for video and audio transmission to the TV

- Menu not as adaptable as its predecessor
- The blind operation of the player requires more practice than its predecessor, because there's nothing left to feel
- The sensitivity of the touchscreen can not affect you
- In the mode "All Songs" are songs by title and not by artist or album
ie I can not jump to the next track in the album
- In the car I've ever after X-Fi settings quickly distortions that had not the predecessor
- The player internal speaker seems slightly worse than the X-Fi

All in all I say, much of what makes the players better than its predecessor, it also could fix via software update. The larger display is but chic definitely.

I recommend each buyer also sure to charge the player only once 2 hours.
Before that, he is not fit for use.

Furthermore, available on the website of Creative has the latest firmware available, including the touch screen improves - and certainly also prevents one or the other negative review.
In addition, I recommend the "Screen protector". Whatever the reason, the touch screen works better with it.

I hope a few little things to be with one or another firmware update yet improved, then the player is really good. Should I overlooked one or the other or have misinterpreted, please point out ;-)

From me there is definitely a buy recommendation for both the 32GB version as well as for any other size variations
