Reviewed by Mike on 04/07/2007this player is fantastic. the sound is amazing and its super long battery life means it beats an ipod any day. it does have a few reliability issues; immediately after the 12 month warranty expired the sound from the left channel died and i have had a few issues with it occassionally crashing and freezing. aside from this however, it is overall a very good player although i would recommend investing in a better pair of headphones than those supplied to fully take advantage of the astounding sound quality Rating:   Reviewed by Mark on 27/01/2007 I've had my Zen going on 3 years now only had one problem and that was losing the power cord, But that was easily solced using a universal So far it seems only morons have had serious problems i've used my zen on a near daily bases since i got it which was when i got it a few days after it came out~ it cost a bit more but my Ipod died after 4 months of use this was well worth the extra bulk my battery time usually runs without stopping for 26-29 hours the sound quality is great in my opinion, Sorry to those of you who have had such bad luck. so far i only have 900ish songs on my zen but i also use it for storing compressed videos untill i can get them transferred mine has never froze or died or had any problems~And this is comming from one of the pickiest people on earth :) Rating: Reviewed by Espen on 07/12/2006 I have used my Zen Touch almost every day for about a year now. Good things: Excellent battery life and audio quality. 20GB is more then enough for me. Bad things: I'm still not comfortable with the touch strip. It's too sensitive for me. I don't like the menu system either. The included software could be better too. It should have been a bit easier to transfer music to it. The quality of the player seems to be good. I've used it a lot, with no problems - but I'm careful with my stuff, so I'm used to that. I would like to record when I read from school books, but then I need a FM wireless remote. OK... I have been to 15 stores, and not one of them had this remote. I'll probable end up ordering it from a web shop. If I can find one. It is supposed to be expensive too. But overall: The Zen Touch gives good audio quality, large capasity drive and long lasting battery at an afordable price. Rating: Reviewed by Josh Brunelle on 22/09/2006 Amazing. I've never been an ipod fan, but the rest of my family has them, and this beats all of them hands down. Sound is stellar (Most files are mp3 ripped at 224kbps). With practice, the scroll pad is very easy and convinient. It is durable as anything, I've dropped it more than once from chest level (that's at least 4'), and I've only had to reset this thing once. I've owned it for more than a year, and I have used it every day, no exaggeration. This thing comes with me everyday in my car, then inside at night so it doesn't get too cold. The warranty sticker is still intact, so I dont know what this other guy did. He is either lying, or made a pouch for it out of sandpaper. Once again, this mp3 player is AMAZING. Rating: Reviewed by Robert on 09/09/2006 You have to realise what happens when something stops working. If you don't have Warranty, then you've had it. The first one I got didn't work at all when I got it so I had to get it replaced (postage at my expense). The new machine had a little sticker over one of the screws saying "warranty void if removed". My sticker fell off after about 3 weeks. It does need to be re-booted occassionally but no big problem. The big problem is that I dropped it the other day and the touch pad now doesn't work. OK, it's my fault I dropped it. But, when you're lugging this bulky thing around a lot, accidents happen. There's no way to get it fixed as far as I can see. I wouldn't mind paying some money to get it fixed but it doesn't seem possible to do that. I have seen other postings on the web about non-functioning touch pads. I can still use the machine with reduced functionality but am now saving up for a replacement. It won't be a Creative. Rating: Reviewed by Andy on 07/08/2006 I have had it nearly 2 years and apart form a few freezes that were sorted by a reset I haven't had any problems. The sound quality is good, the battery life is excellent, I have dropped it, trodden on it, sat on it (because I am an idiot not deliberately) and it still keeps going. It hasn't got the features of other models but I wanted an MP3 player, not a camera, a phone, photo starage or a video player. It does exactly what it said on the box, no fuss, no needless features and rubbish. Cheaper and more durable than an i-pod. No nonsense. Highly recommended.

Rating: Reviewed by Ian on 27/07/2006 Had mine now for almost 2 years. Use it every single day, and so far, not a single problem! Dont personally like the way it navigates the tracks, but that is a minor issue. Certainly no reliability problems at all, and thats after very heavy use. Battery lasts me a week or two, with 2-3 hours use a day, which is brilliant in my opinion. When its getting low, I put it on charge over night, and its back to full power and another 10+ days by the next morning. I have however looked after mine, its never been dropped etc. But it has travelled all over with me, and seems pretty robust. Rating: Reviewed by Adam Latz from USA on 14/07/2006 First of all im tired of people who bitch and complain that their player freezes up when 8 times out of 10 it is due to mistreatment on the owners part. Second the way to keep you battery lasting long... only plugin the player to charge it when it is done take it off as soon as you can, then use it until the battery dies then plug it in again... this keeps the battery conditioned and therefore will last longer Rating: Reviewed by Caroline from USA on 14/07/2006 About 2 months after I bought this player, it began freezing when I tried to skip songs... I would then have to reboot the player by sticking a paper clip in it. After about 5 months of this it failed on me completely, and will now no longer start up. Don't look to Creative for help after this period, they charge you $15 for 30 minutes of over the phone help, and they don't even have an 800 number so you have to pay long distance. DON'T BUY THIS Rating: Reviewed by Paul from Australia on 10/07/2006 Well in just 8 months my 2nd player has just seized up. The first had it's hardrive completely whipped (for no apparent reason) after just 4 weeks and could no longer have mp's loaded onto it. Manafacter advised that it's a "reasonably common problem" and sent me a replacement! The replacement has now completely seized up so will try re-setting it but am extremely dissapointed in this product. Battery life is absolutely junk as wewll - get about 4 hours maximum. Rating: Reviewed by barry graham on 07/07/2006 great battery life easy to use .have had this for nearly two years with few problems.has frozen once or twice but if you let run down til it goes off then charge and switch back on holding play/pause button down and then reset lets you into internal menu.from here you can choose first option "clean up" this will fix any problems i've had then just go to option 4 "reboot"and alls well.don't use other options because these can be detrimental or wipe everything you have on your player.this is how i was advised by creative bit of a pain but keeps yuor player going.have had no issues with battery as some have had.overall a great player great sound ,battery life and easy to use.yes a little heavy but if you want this battery life you gotta put up with that.i have also added shure e3c headphones which have changed great sound quality to exceptional. Rating: Reviewed by Richard on 05/07/2006 At first there were no problems with this player. Then it froze a couple of times and I used the reset button to sort it out. It annoyingly worked on and off with WMP 10 so I upgraded to the new firmware. This worked a treat and everything seemed great for a few months. Then one day all the buttons including the reset button stopped working while merrily playing a track. Then everything went blank. Now nothing works!!! Grr, no wonder this thing only has a 90 day warranty - it's likely they know this thing is unreliable - I won't be buying my next player from Creative and I will be telling everyone else I know to do the same. Rating: Reviewed by Tom on 04/07/2006 It's very good like 10 months. It starts to freeze. Rating: Reviewed by - on 03/07/2006 I got this @ chirstmas and no probs its superb!!! Its a bit clumpy but who cares!!! It rocks and if your looking practicality and extremely large memory this is the one!!! You'll regret if you dont! Rating: Reviewed by Ian Flaherty on 23/06/2006 Well for 13 months this mp3 player was easily worth the whole five stars (notice that takes it just outside of Creative's support period?! Either a clever piece of trickery by Creative or a pure coincidence...) However since then the battery life has been abysmal. I notice how people have, since its introduction, been commenting about the issues it has with becoming unresponsive. I can't say I've had any problems with that, but looking around I can't see any other reports of poor battery life. For a battery that used to run for the suggested 24 hours+ it is now only going for 5 hours max. It wasn't even a gradual reduction as far as I can remember. HAS ANYBODY ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS? I bought from a reputable dealer so I have no reason to believe it is a defective knock-off or anything of the like. I will soon be buying a Creative Zen Vision (Not the :M version with the in-built battery, my trust in such a player is obviously somewhat reduced when it comes to buying Creative!) I would like to get this player functioning again either as a back-up or to reclaim the whole in my walet that the Zen Vision will create. All in all a great, functional player that is reliable and does what it saya on the tin... for 13 months :) If anyone can point me in the right direction for help with the issue it would be much appreciated. Rating: Reviewed by Gary from South Africa on 14/06/2006 Hard drive failed just after warranty expired. Will not buy creative products, nor hard drive portable MP3 players again. Rating: Reviewed by graeme on 14/06/2006 i got one of these and it was good at first but after a few months it started to freeze and the reset button wont work. i hav only had it for 10 months and i am getting a diffrent mp3 2morro. Rating: Reviewed by patrick from US on 30/05/2006 his is an excellant player. I only had the freezing issue once and running the battery down fixed that. With windows xp i can easily transfer my usic back and forth and it can also double as an external hard drive if you dont fill it all the way up. I have a computer back up on mine and its worked great. Its kind of heavy though but if thats not a problem id recommend it all the way Rating: Reviewed by Emma on 25/05/2006 I used the 20GB version of this MP3 player for about 6 months before I changed my computer to an iBook and the two don't really get along. It's actually a pretty good MP3 player. Really, the only faults I can think of are 1. I couldn't use the headphones that came with it at all - after about 10 minutes of use my ears hurt really badly. The sound quality from them wasn't too bad though. 2. Maybe I'm just no good with this sort of thing, but I couldn't really get the hang of the scroll strip thing. I tried it on every sensitivity setting and such and still never managed to get it quite right. I now own a video iPod.. and even in comparison to that, the Creative Zen Touch holds its own. I never had any of the freezing issues that others seems to experience.. perhaps I was just lucky.. Rating: Reviewed by jane on 16/05/2006 bought this player in august last year. i must admit i was pretty impressed! less than 10 months on its started to develop problems. wont bore you repeating the same problems as everyone else. i have received emails (very quickly) from customer support, however nothing seems to work! i definately wouldn't recommend this player - sorry creative, big mistake producing this one! Rating: Reviewed by Antony on 11/05/2006 I have owned my Zen Touch now for 11 months, and I can only share my experiences with any future buyers. Firstly, in these 11 months a friend has had both an i-Pod 20GB and an i-Pod Nano stop working altogether, so I did feel somewhat vindicated in my choice of a Zen, as it wasn't the better known, or most fashionable of the MP3 players. That said, another friend also bought a Zen, and they have experienced the freezing problems detailed in several reviews. Personally, it has happened to me once, but was resolved by letting the battery run down, and it has suffered a few drops to the fall without any damage. As for the capacity, I have around 4000 tracks and it is probably 80% full. Putting the tracks on is simple enough, although if you don't have USB 2.0 it takes a while. As for the software, it isn't the best, but it does the necessary job. the problem is you have to figure it all out yourself, as the supplied users guide is hazy at best. One annoying aspect is the inability to upload your tracks from the player itself to your PC, but I imagine this is true of most MP3 players. I just dread losing it, and all the MP3's I only have on the player. Battery life is extremly good, and worth the extra weight. The Zen doesn't exactly weigh you down, but you know you have it in your pocket, which could be a positive thing, depending on your outlook. Audio quality is good, though I couldn't say what the headphones are like, I use my own. When not using headphones, I plug the Zen into my stereo via an audio cable that connects the headphone socket of the Zen the the aux of the speaker (much cheaper than buying specialist speakers for a player). Lookswise, it isn't the prettiest girl at the party, but if you are buying a player for looks alone, then that way leads to Apple town. However, it does have a certain charm, and I quite like the touch pad, although it is sensitive and takes getting used to (even when set on the lowest setting) Overall, I've been pleased with my Zen, and have used it pretty much every day since I've owned it. However, I would still advise buyer discretion. Rating: Reviewed by Alex from USA on 05/05/2006 The Zen Touch is in my opinion the best mp3 player on the market. I wasn't going to write a review until I saw some problems people have had with the player. First off, I'm sure everyone knows this, but you just need to press the reset button on the side with a pin if it freezes. If you are trying to play your music on your computer directly from the mp3 player, and it won't work, download a program called JBHTTP. Just search on Google to find it. It uses the streaming capability of windows media player to get around that problem. However, you have to have an internet connection for this to work. Hope I could help. Everyone who is thinking about getting a Zen instead of a crappy protection riddled ipod, you can rest assure that it's a great machine. Rating: Reviewed by Duncan on 25/04/2006 The first 6 months of ownership were reasonably problem free, apart from the touch pad, which you'll either love or hate (I hated it) and the track ordering:- tracks are not always stored in the correct order in the Creative Media Source player (the media player/download manager which runs on your computer). They are recorded alphabetically rather than in album order, a particular problem when playing DJ mixed albums. When using CMS on my pc, I had to play tracks in time recorded order to overcome this. I also noticed that synchronizing the computer with the mp3 player produced errors when trying to update several albums at the same time. Workaround:- download albums one by one to the mp3 player, which is obviously time consuming. After about 6 months, I performed a synchronization between my pc and mp3 player and discovered that several albums had lost tracks, which now appeared as albums, with just one track. I decided to visit Creative's website to download the latest version of the CMS player. After 45 minutes my computer was still "hung", so I had to abort, and then I discovered that the original CMS player didn't work. I deleted off/uninstalled all Creative software and tried to reinstall from the original disk, however, this wouldn't work either. I re-visited their website to discover that if you try to download the latest version of the CMS player, you cannot ever reinstall the original, even if the download fails. I had protracted correspondence with their customer service dept., but after I threatened legal action, they agreed to replace both the mp3 player and all software. I have worked with computers for over 20 years and have designed some very complex systems, used by multi-national companies around the world and am not a novice in these matters. It strikes me that by their offer to replace their product, they acknowledge that they have a problem with their software, although they have not admitted this. Also, I had to do several "techie" things to sort out my computer, as amongst other things, my cd drive failed to work. I’m not sure I can be bothered to pursue their offer of a replacement as I have already expended considerable time on their deficient software and, as my business rate is £100 per hour - I'm sure you get the picture! I regret to say, but having heard other friends' problems with iPod, my general advice would be to steer clear of American companies when purchasing an mp3 player. Samsung mp3 players seem to have no detractors, so will maybe try them next. Rating: Reviewed by Teika on 22/04/2006 I have had my Creative for a year now and it is GREAT! I have taken it everywhere and the battery last forever. I am in the desert now and it has not stopped or froze up. I'm not sure what all the warranty talk it about, but if you have kept your receit, the Creative has a 1 Year warranty. I know. I called and asked before I purchased it. No problems. I recommend it to anyone over the iTunes junk. iTunes suck. It takes next to no time to transfer files and I have saved music and data on mine! Rating: Reviewed by Peter Frederiksen from Denmark on 17/04/2006 The first day I got it froze, I thought is was a faulty device, until I google'd and found out many others had this problem! found out it had a Reset button, put still once a month it froze! I was really disappointed, what a crappy device, until Creative released a new Firmware, I was happy again! It haven't frozen since I flash it, but the really great thing, is the new hard-disk structure and function. It was really great that you could make directories, like my HD in the PC, instead of having all of you music in one directory! And then I've tested the battery, with full volume, it lasted for 29+ hours! So with the new firmware, new hard-disk structure and the long lasting battery, I have to give 5 stars! Rating: Reviewed by Collin D'Souza on 13/04/2006 Its a great Mp3 player, with long playback time and storage as well. Should however be made plug and play when it comes to the Data section instead of having to install drivers. Plus so often it says player not connected and even freezes not that the problem has seized my player completely ever. After about a year now the buttons sometimes malfunction but other than that it's really good. Easy to handle,great storage,nice features and everyone should have one... Rating: Reviewed by Xochitl on 07/04/2006 This is horrible!!! I was listening to my zen then it freezes so naturally i reset it. Now it keeps the CREATIVE sceen up and it takes 30 MINUTES to go to Recovery mode! Then the recovery mode doesn't do jack!! This is a piece of junk! Now i need it on my vacation and it won't work. And i realize this and i'm only 13! For anybody wants this MP3 player i tell you...THINK TWICE!!! Rating: Reviewed by Farai on 24/03/2006 I envied people with little white jukeboxes until i got my hands on an iPod mini from Walkers. I hated the itunes software, and i hated the fiddly music transfer system and the charging blues that came with the usb only option as standard. So i gave to to my sister and went for a Zen touch. £10 dearer than a mini but 5X the storage, and they're cooler looking! I can confirm the monumental battery life (once a week on my usage which is at least 3 full hrs a day, like my Nokia 6310i :)... I only have one gripe and one gripe alone - the DAMN PLAYLIST. After using the mini, i appreciated the playlist management system, and specifically the mini's ability to compile a 'most listened to' track list as a playlist - automatically!!! I can't get the hang of the creative zen touch playlist system, and to me that's 50% of the music player. I've resorted to being crafty with album names etc just to get around it, but i'm having to use the menu more than i did with the iPod. Wouldn't go back tho - great product otherwise. No other faults at all!!!

Rating: Reviewed by Graemie on 18/03/2006 Excellent player, especially for the money. Does freeze now and again but this is easily fixed by pressing the reset button in with a pin. Sound is good, menu system is excellent and easy to use and the synch software is far more reliable and user friendly than itunes IMHO. Rating: Reviewed by DJ Woodsy on 15/03/2006 Hey Guys, I understand that a couple of people are having issues with their player. I can say, that I've had no problems with this awesome player. I purchased this last May and only had the one or two problems with it freezing. All I had to do is press that little dot thing on the side and hey presto I'm back in action. This player has come in handy for so many things. Quickish transfers make things a lot easier. Takes a little bit to master the slide, but hey, that's only a minor technicality. It's more trouble trying to sort out the Ipod. I would rate this player so much higher than the overpriced, copyrighted iPods that everyone so raves on about. I've driven the player, wired remote & fm transmitter to the ground & still not much dramas. My advice, is also get a fm transmitter that plugs in ur cigarette lighter, sound quality is almost perfect, like you were playing a cd. The menus are a hell of a lot better than iPod, considering you can search for whatever by the extra menu that pops up allowing you to jump straight to the first letter. I don't see apple allowing you to do that. I've driven to Sydney from Brisbane (12hr trip) and then around the city with no dramas with battery life, but I believe mr Apple wouldn't have survived the trip down. I recommend this Creative Zen Touch very very highly, though it may be a bit bulkier than the competition, it's sturdier, outlasting battery, easy to navigate menus & no dramas transferring files. Machines will have their faults, nothing is perfect. Spend the money on this machine & Creative have a great website to assist with firmware etc. Take care guys & gurlz. Rating: Reviewed by Jord on 13/03/2006 Great MP3 Player. Although I Had To send It back Because It Froze I Got It Back And Have Never Had A Fail With It. The Touch Pad Is Excellent(Ipods Dont Have Them). I Would Recommend This MP3 Player To Anyone. Rating: Reviewed by Roman on 12/03/2006 Do not buy this stuff - if will be any problem after guarantee nobody like to repair it!!! Rating: Reviewed by Dave from USA on 06/03/2006 What a serious piece of junk...this thing has a catasrophic failure at least twice a week...all the recovery mode does is turn my 5000+ songs into somewhere upwards of about three, yes only three. I've only had this hunk of junk for four months. (only has a 90 day warrenty) It also sounds like junk, even at 320kbps I paid more money for this thing than I did my 2 class A power amplifiers. I finally got fed up with the thing and cracked it open. It has a Hitachi Travelstar ATA-5 1.8in laptop hard drive in it...perhaps that is the problem. Changing out the drive is about 1/5 the price of a new player. And DO NOT upgrade to the "plays for sure" firmware...it only made matters worse...much worse. I am going Toshiba next time because I despise Apple...and now Creative as well or so it seems. DON"T BUY THIS $300 PAPER WEIGHT!!!!!!!

What did work though was accessing the maintenance menu and performing a clean-up, so I will post the datails below for others... · How do I access the Zen maintenance menu? To access the maintenance menu of all Zen players except the Zen Micro hold down the play/pause button, while holding this press and release the reset switch, CONTINUE to keep the play/pause button held down until the Maintenance Menu appears. A screen should appear giving the following options - 1. Clean Up (Performs a scan disk on the hard disk) 2. Format All (*WARNING* All contents will be lost, including pre-installed content) 3. Reload OS (or Reload Firmware on the Zen Micro) (*WARNING* THIS IS AN ADVANCED OPTION. DO NOT choose this unless you are sure of what you are doing as you could render your player unusable. You must also have a suitable firmware file on your PC for reloading) 4. Reboot (Reboots the Zen) Rating: Reviewed by music lover on 25/02/2006 I love to listen to music but I hate apple, so I bought a Creative zen touch. Great, unitl I couldn't turn it off.

Rating: Reviewed by Brian from USA on 14/02/2006 The transfer speed is SLOW, the new firmware "playforsure" really hurts the transfer speed. the player was great when i got it in December of 2004, but now after the update it runs so slow. however when you use the player it works fine, and i love it, it's a lot better than the IPod i think, but not when it's hooked up to the computer, it just takes too much time. if you buy it don't upgrade to the firmware 2.00.10 stay with the firmware 1.00.00 or what ever is on it, upgrading to the 1.01.03 is fine too.overall it's average just because of the transfer, otherwise it would be excellent.

Rating: Reviewed by Simon on 13/01/2006 I was intending to buy an IPod, but faced with every shop being sold out with no sign of stock replacements for a month or so, I went for this instead. Comparing the Zen Touch with my friend's IPod, there is actually very little difference. The only noticeable thing is that the Zen Touch is heavier, but that is hardly a big problem. Sound quality is excellent, no discernable difference from that of an IPod. Easy to use, and excellent battery life - I get about 35 hours from fully charged to fully discharged. Much better than the IPod. I note other reviewers' comments about "freezing up", but I have to say that in 12 months worth of use, my Zen Touch has only frozen twice, and each time a simple "reset" did the trick, with no loss of data. The only gripe I have is that you have to use the special Creative Labs software, you can't just simply interface the Zen Touch with Windows Explorer. Otherwise overall, excellent - pretty much an IPod but at a much lower price!

Everytime I try to organise my files, my whole computer just freezes up and I end up having to restart it. Consequently I can't delete or add songs to my Zen. It happens with both the Creative Media Organiser and the Nomad Explorer.My computer normally works fine. Any ideas?? Otherwise, I love my Zen! Rating: Reviewed by Tom K on 08/12/2005 Great player! It is reliable and tough. Don't let the wieght put you off because this is the best value for money mp3 on the market! I have had this for seven months and not experienced any major problems - only feezing from selecting too many songs too fast! The 'creative media source' is great for quick copying of C.D.'s, creating playlists and altering song/album/artist names. The touch pad is easy to master with time and of better standard than the iPOD. This player also comes with a option of sound alteration allowing you to better the sound quality according to your music genre. I have bought 'creative iTRIGUE' speakers to allow myself to listen to my songs alound in my house. This has great sound quality and is great if you want background music. This player, however, does not have a removeable battery (like the iPOD), so as the battery eventually dies (roughly 12-18 months time) so will the player. But overall this is a low cost, better alternative to the iPOD. A must buy!!! Rating: Reviewed by Paul on 02/12/2005 Player is great. I find the scrolling pad a little tricky sometimes, but it's good to make your mates jealous. Sound quality's excellent, equaliser is useful, headphones are good, have mine hooked up to the car via the casette player most of the time and that's pretty cool. As for the software, what a bag of cack. It crashes, it's awkward, the media player plays whatever the heck it feels like regardless of which tracks I've selected and I'm pretty damn certain it's responsible for all the problems I'm currently experiencing with my PC right now.

Rating: Reviewed by Roderick van den Brink from Netherlands on 06/10/2005 Hello everyone I bought this mp3player after tons of research. I didn't want to spend too much money but i wanted a lot of space. Well the reviews were from bad - good. Everyone was comparing it to the Ipod. Logical ofcourse. Well people said it freezes much so i was a little scared. Well i bought it anyway. I'm really satisfied. I've never had to reset it and i think it's just bad luck for those that did have that problem. Pros: -long battery life -good software -touchpad works fine (I have it on low sensitivity) -great navigation -nice big screen (from what i was used to) well actually everything is a pro! I can only think of one thing that may bother someone. The size. THat's it. Its twice as thick as an ipod and slightly bigger. Well i don't give a damn about that sort of difference. My friend has an Ipod and its major scratched and really greasy and the screen is all scratched up. My Zen fell of a bookcase and NO SCRATCH. I couldn't believe it. My friends Ipod scratched up after a silly drop and mine was perfectly fine. The earbuds supplied with it aren't really bad as everyone claims but i must admit they aren't bad. I can go on about this mp3player cuase i really love it but i think i had it. O yeh some say the screen is dim but if you set the contrast on 20% it's perfect. And the touchpad is maybe a love it or hate it thing i don't know but i love it. Very easy and comfortable even when high sensitivity. well that's about it. Hope i could help you with your choice and it may be clear. GO WITH THE ZEN!!!! Ipod is still a great thing but j ust too expensive if you compare it to the things the ZEN gives you for a lot less!!!! ZEN RULES!! Roderick Rating: Reviewed by David on 05/10/2005 OMG!!! this is probably the best MP3 on the market 2day, i and many of my friends have all had I-pods but since i bought my creative zen we all now agree that creative is the way forward and apple are in the past. Th mp3 player looks really stylish and looks more modern than the I-pod. I alos found that the Creative zen was much easier to use and was also faster at fulfiling your demands you give it, compared to the I-pod which sumtimes either moves really slow or freezes for a little time. As well as the creative zen being faster and easier to use than the I-pod i feel that it also gives out a better sound quality and is much more value for money compared to the I-pod (Creative around £120 for 20gig I-pod around £200+ for 20gig) i seriously feel the I-pod is not worth its money compared to the creative zen and would recomend it to buy to everyone, this has to probably be the best mp3 created yet. Rating: Reviewed by Gina on 11/09/2005 I think this MP3 is brilliant! OK so its heavier than the iPod but its not THAT much heavier! Also, the battery life is amazing. Mine lasted two 4 hour journeys to Glasgow and a week in Greece before finally running out of battery! Superb. The main reason why i chose the Zen instead of the iPod/iPod mini however was mainly due to price difference - £180/£220 for a 10/20GB memory, 12 hour battery life and black and white screen (or blue if your lucky enough to get the iPod itself)? OR - £140 for 20GB memory, 24 hour battery life and a blue screen!? Your choice...! Oh yeah, the other thing which increases my already very high opinion of the Zen Touch is the fact that i can listen to my music whilst going to sleep and not worry about the MP3 playing all night because once the song finishes it only stays on for 5minutes before idle shutdown. The iPod does not do this! This is the best Christmas present I've ever had and I've used it every day since getting it, no fails or freezing. So glad i got this instead of the iPod which everyone has! At least with the Zen Touch i feel slightly unique, a priviledge which i think all those owning iPod's have missed out on..

After reading several bad reviews of the ipod and numerous good reviews of the zen touch, I made a decision to opt for the latter. and I can honestly say I'm not disappointed. I love my mp3 player to bits! It cost me around #150 (it was bought tax free at Manchester Airport), and for a similar price is so much more superior than the ipod mini, in my opinion anyway. the menu is sooooo easy to use, there are loads of different ways that you can get to the song you want. Sure, the size is a lil big but it's still fits in pockets, so isnt really a problem. the software is brill, and transfer time is literally seconds. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted a good quality player. there are just a few small points I have found with mine, but they dont bother me, but they might you: when selecting a song from a list, it will often start to play the track above the one i have selected -the volume is not constant, and some tracks will be louder than others these are only minor things though, and in the 7 months I've had the player it has frozen once, where the screen stopped but the player continued. I hit the reset button and 10 seconds later all was well. If you are choosing between this and an ipod, i would seriosuly advise you to choose the zen touch. you won't regret it!

I was putting music on it and listening and everything was going well. However, just a few hours ago I turned it on to listen to some new music only to find out that the song I selected could not be played because of an error. I went to the next song and the same thing happened again. I then proceeded to check other areas of music that had worked previously only to find that all of the music on my player was suddenly unreadable. I have now restarted it and turned it back on. Only now it has frozen and it won't even turn off. Do I sound satisfied? Rating: Reviewed by Troy on 19/07/2005 This player is unbelievable!

I bought it a few months ago and have had no problems with it what so ever. One advantage I found it has over the iPod is the scroll bar. While with the iPod you can continue scrolling without picking up your finger, you cannot stop your finger somewhere and have it continue scrolling, with the Zen Touch if you stop your finger at the top or bottom of the scroll bar, it automatically scrolls. Also the independant volume controll buttons are very handy. I would even recommend this player over the Zen Micro. Even though the Micro does have more features such as the radio and voice recorder built in...most would find these features ultimatly useless for day to day use of an MP3 player, and with 4x the space you get with the Touch, you can just put all the songs you would hear on the radio and put them on the player...thus eliminating the need for radio. Rating: Reviewed by Nigel Kitts on 03/05/2005 my first impression for this mp3 player went something like "wow, its not as long as it looks on the internet" most of the images of it are stretched by about 25% verticaly. Its got a nice hefty feel to it, about the same wieght as a minidisc player and its a good size too. everything seems pretty straight forewards, except for the scroll pad in the middle which is a bit fidly, but I'm getting used to it. the 20 gigs memory is defenitely overkill, as if its compensating for something that it doesent need to, like a dictator, but in a good way, anyway.. I've already put about 450 songs on it and I've only used about 1 gig, I suppose it just means I'l never have to delete anything though. good sound quality. Great stuff. Get one if you can afford it, but make sure you look at some other players first. Rating: Reviewed by UK on 30/04/2005 I got this mp3 as a replacement for the iPod mini, which was a huge disappointment. This mp3 however is great - it has an amazing battery life, loadssssss of storage for tonnes of music, it looks funky, allows you to make on-the-go playlists and has a great 'random' button on the front if you just want to listen to all your music at once. In comparison to many other mp3s on the market this is definately one of the best. The reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is only due to a few minor complaints such as the weight of if which makes it difficult to listen to it when walking, running etc, and the only other slight complaint I have is that you often get a 'please wait' message up to load the music which can be kinda annoying if you have a large playlist to load. However overall this mp3 is excellent and I would definately rate it over the iPod minis (which wouldn't have even achieved one star). If you want a decent mp3 player and have a spare 160-180 quid to spend, this is the mp3 player 4 you!

Feels solid, behaves solidly (especially if you turn the sensitivity down on the slide-select on the front), and responds beautifully. It has a VERY fast transfer rate (without halting part-way through if there is a large list of items to transfer, which the ipod always did). I've tried the ipod and found it a flimsy-feeling and having a much dodgier response and reliability. The software for the Zen Touch is FAR superior and simple to use (unless you are a Mac user I suppose - not having one I'm not sure, but if you're a PC user the software is awfully flaky). People rave about iTunes, but I found it clunky, invasive and very assuming. The massive support on the software front for the Zen range (such as from Red Chair Software) makes life MUCH easier and lastly the battery life of the Zen Touch genuinely IS 24 hours (in fact mine went on for longer) and not just an on-the-box value.
