 After 18 Months, Still Satisfied April 1, 2008
I previously had an iriver, which was very frustrating to synchronize and broke after about a year. Upgraded to this unit, which I have been extremely pleased with. I sync through Windows Media Player and it works perfectly and quickly. Sound is great, unit is pretty durable, battery life is pretty good. My only complaint is that the screen is hard to see in sunlight, which was actually a strength of the iriver. I also dislike the touchpad and was extremely frustrated with it at first (even after setting it to the least sensitive level), but grew accustomed to it after a couple of months.
I have used up the 20 GB and am now in the market for a 30 GB or larger unit. I'm surprised there aren't more to pick from.
 After over a year, still a good little machine.. December 26, 2007

I have had this MP3 player since Aug. 2006. I use it at least an hour everyday. It is used mostly for listening to books that I download from my local library and speeches from my college website. I transfer and delete files all the time. It has had minimal problems with a lot of use. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It recharges fairly quickly on computer or using the electrical cord. It can be a little slow to change files, no big deal. It has taken a lot of abuse.
 wish I wouldn't have bought it. November 11, 2007

This MP3 player worked awesome for several months! then, about a week after the warrenty ended, it wouldn't work. there about 4-5 screens it goes onto regularly on the boot process, but mine goes to the second, freezes for about 3 minutes, then goen to a malfunction page. there are choices to erase all of the memory, reload the firmware, reboot, and something else. Only the reboot works, which just brings you back to the same screen. I can't sell it now, because it doesn't work, and creative won't take it back, becuase it's not warrented. I would not suggest this product to anyone!
 Okay mp3 player May 27, 2007
This mp3 player is okay. There are more con's then pro's but it still manages to be an alright media player.
cons
1.Battery life is really bad (It usually last about 1 1/2 hours at the most)
2.Freezes up more then it should
3.Outdated model (can't buy accessories for i from creative anymore)
4.Its really compared to other mp3 players
5.Can only hold about 5,000 mp3 files
6.Creative says the battery can last about 19 hours on a full charge mine last about 1 1/2 hours
7.only a 90 day warranty(if you buy it new)
Pro's
1.Can use more then one program(unlike ipods)
2.You can change the color theme
3.good audio quality
4.Doesn't cost alot of money for a mp3 player that can hold pictures and music
If you really want to get a better mp3 player get the creative zen V:plus
holds short video clips, music, photos all for about $185(8 gig)
DO NOT BUY!!! May 12, 2007
We purchased this MP3 player and before a year was up we had problems with it. Sent it in to the manufacturer for repair (cost $25). It worked for less than 30 days after repair. Before we had any problems we recommended this product to a friend. They bought an identical item, and it lasted less than 6 months before it stopped working.
