What's a I-pod, if one has a Zen)

First of all I would like, before I speak further about the Creative Zen, you advise as possible buyers to opt for the 8GB version. If only for the simple reason that he is only slightly more expensive with about 35 additional costs than the smaller 4Gb version. You wonder: 4Gb more for not even 40 !!!

After my old MP3 player noticeably after almost 3 years refused its office, I was forced to look around for a good replacement. Because I want to listen to music with the player prefers, watching videos is for me in the background, I was looking for a device that attaches great importance particularly to sound and be more or less up to date for the next few years will would. Due to the fact that I have always had creative players (last the 512MB MuVo variant) and always could never detect any defects that Creative devices were my favorites. After a short investigation, I then came across the new ZEN.

All I could read to information for the player, inspired me: radio, calendar function, music library, video and above all, that's the genius: an SD card use.

Nungut, more not the product itself, what you can anyway einschauen in the device information as knowledgeable Amazon buyers.

First, I would like, after almost 2 weeks in which I have the ZEN me comment on the cited criticism of other reviewers:

1.The unit is without MS Media Player fully recognizable to me, I could even easily connect the Zen at laptop of a friend who had full access to all data.

2.Dass the snaps are cheap, is beyond me. They are neither better nor worse than other products. If the annotated criticism perhaps exaggerated ???

3.The player I have never crashed that beautiful reset function I had not yet use teu teu teu. But I can not imagine that the player could lubricate, but not only because of the updates. Speaking of updates: Directly after the first time you connect and install the software I could with no problems bringing the ZEN to the latest firmware, what more could you want?

4.Anmerkung many, the battery life of Zen is not achieved by far, I can only reply that:
a) They are down adjust the brightness of the player
(At 10% brightness is still everything legible)
b) They also sec the light duration to 5. Shut bodies should,
ranging from completely!
c) It is perfectly normal that the battery quickly come to an end,
when videos are watched. Think about some games, the quality of
intuited video is brilliant: sharp images, no
Bucking, super colors. Is it any wonder then that the player no 5
By holding hours? How should the player than to receive the energy?
Competitors falter similar position

5. The files in the memory card would not correctly appear in the music library. Well, one can now perceive as an advantage or disadvantage that the music does not appear in the actual library, but is to be retrieved only through the extra point memory card. I do not mind in the least, however, since I have either only audio books or videos on the memory card. One should basically about love that this player makes it possible to accommodate memory cards: a novelty, very trendsetting!

6.The headphones have a poor quality: I must agree partially. They are fine for normal needs. However, if you even better sound would, also still want to conserve battery life, let him be defining better headphones: The better the handset, the quieter, the player - made viewed from the forth volume, without experiencing loss of quality (My tip )

Otherwise, I would like to inform you that the design of the player is very successful, it is with its size and weight very handy. The display is just like all other competitors scratch prone. One should therefore ensure that it protects the player from scratches somehow. I bought the edited by Creative Leather Case, which is expensive, but their money is clearly value: She looks smart and protects the player from any damage!

Nevertheless, a few little things bother me: The USB cable is too short, when I saw it the first time, I thought it was a bad joke. But well, that has to do little with the player, rather with the support on the part of Creative. Furthermore, had the leather case can be the proud price of 180 already part. But Well, now all technical devices barely on accessories; So this is a criticism of all devices, not just to the ZEN.

I stands again before the election, to buy me an instrument, I would decide again for the Zen!

I hope I could help you with my discussions with respect to the player on. Maybe you choose yes for the new ZEN. I guarantee you, you can not go far wrong!
