Summary: Great! - when it works...
Comment: Received this and followed the instructions to the letter; it was charged for the correct length of time prior to use. It worked fine the first time, the sound was great and the functions easy to use. However, then I went to turn it on for the second time....hmmm, after ten minutes I gave up, and that's been the story ever since. I sent the first player back and received a second one after some time - I couldn't believe it, it suffered exactly the same problem and has now been binned. This is the most temperamental piece of equipment I've ever used. It is essentially useless. If I take it on the bus to work I can spend the whole 30min journey trying to get it to turn on, another time it will work first time; but not very often. It is totally frustrating and I'm obviously not the only person to find this problem infuriating. You might be lucky and get a 5 star one which works, but I've received 2 duds, don't waste your money.

Summary: Good MP3 Player
Comment: Got this in 2007 about a year ago now and it worked for a whole year I went on holiday to different countries and I took it with me it survived all that to so its tough. Everything works on it fine its small and light and simple to use. It very easy to put music on it and to delete music. The only thing that's bad about it is the USB cable you get with it is very short and sadly mine broke a few weeks ago I don't know why but Ive bought the newer version now.

Summary: Great little gadget
Comment: Got this a couple of days ago and very pleased with it. My wife has the basic Zen Stone, which is a little difficult to use as it doesn't have a display (I have the Zen Vision M also - I find Creative's media players easy to use and sound great). This does, plus a little speaker on the rear (which you can turn off) which sounds surprisingly decent. Headphones are OK but the unit sounds very good and full with a pair of Sennheiser CX300s. Comes with a translucent skin which allows full use of the controls and allows you to see the display. The skin has a removable clip allowing easy attachment to clothes. Also has an equaliser with 5 bands plus radio. Very good value.

Summary: Stop Carping !! You Sound Like A Bunch of Celts
Comment: For it's size & cost, this is a good piece of kit. I've had mine for over a year now & I love it. I prefer this on a Air journey than the music provided by the airline. The sound reproduction through the small headphones & from such a tiny item is wonderful. But then i am only a 73 year old dinosaur. Who is still YOUNG enough to marvel at modern technology. Christ! I remember as a boy having to take the wireless accumulaters to the local electrical shop to be re-charged every Monday after school. Stop moaning --- You don't know your born !!

Summary: Creative Couldn't Care Less
Comment: Beware of Creative customer care.
I recently contacted them with a problem with my MP3 player.
Basically, although it worked fine and was fully loaded with my whole music and video collection, I couldn't add any further content to it.
Customer care took me through a diagnostic process which ended with a instructions to completely reformat the machine, stripping it of its operating system.
I e-mailed them to say I was nervous of doing this, but they insisted it was necessary and that if it didn't work I'd be invited to send the unit in for repair or replacement.
When I took the fateful step and lost everything they informed me that I was out of warranty and they wanted £60 to repair it (even though they had known my purchase date and had a copy of my Amazon receipt from the beginning).
As this unit can now be bought for about this amount I had no option but to bin it.
Result, no player, 4500 tracks and dozens of films lost forever.
If they had told me the cost of repair before pushing me to reformat I could have made and informed decision.
Do not trust their advice, in fact if I were you I'd buy elsewhere!
