Summary: Will Never Own A creative Product Again 2008-09-01
Comment: How bad is bad. Owned this unit about a year and made the BIG mistake of trying to update it. BAD MOVE !!! It is now a paperweight and all Creative wants to do is sell me phone techinical support with no promise of repairing it. I have tried a few of the things on the web to no avail. All it does now is show up as a 20M drive instead of the 40GB its supposed to be and any software that Creative has won't reconize it even thought Windows dose. Will never buy anything from Creative again and will warn everyone I see about them.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE 2007-12-16
Comment: I am very very disappointed with this mp3 player my husband paid over $200 for it 3 years ago and twice it has just stopped working. The 1st time we had to update the firmware which would not have been such an issue if almost 4,000 songs were not deleted in the process. I reloaded them once it was fixed and a year later it just stops syncing in the middle of a transfer. Then my computer that had the right software loaded on it will not recognize it. I have put the software on the other 3 computers in the house and none will pick it up. CREATIVE LABS WEBSITE NO LONGER HAS ANY SOFTWARE OR UPDATE MATERIAL ON THE WEBSITE. THEY SPECIFY IT IN DIFFERENT WORDING BUT THE SAME MEANING AS TOO OLD. I DONT KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BUT $200+ IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TYPE OF ITEM AND I EXPECT THAT IT SHOULD LAST LONGER. It will play but won't sync and every time I start it it has to spend 10+ minutes rebuilding the library. this year we bought from another company, paid less and the mp3 player also will play video. LOOK AROUND YOU CAN GET MUCH MORE FOR LESS MONEY FROM A LOT OF OTHER COMPANIES.

Summary: The Worst Technical Support Ever 2007-11-10
Comment: I purchased the Zen Touch 40 GB MP3 player a year and a half ago. When it was working, it was relatively easy to use although the touch pad took some getting used to. The problem started when I decided to upgrade the firmware from their website a few weeks ago. As soon as the firmware upgrade was completed, my player died and I have been unable to revive it. When I e-mailed technical support I was told that since it was out of warranty, they could not help me either on the phone or even by e-mail unless I paid $19.00 an hour. When I explained that the problem did not start until I loaded THEIR FIRMWARE FROM THEIR WEBSITE, and that they should bear some responsibility and help me, they continued to insist that since the player was out of warranty, they could not provide technical support unless I pay.
My advice is if you buy Creative's products, sign up for a warranty, or never ever ever upgrade the firmware. Personally, I will never ever ever buy any Creative product again.

Summary: Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware 2007-06-01
Comment: Please Don't buy this product unless you plan on working pro bono as a tech for yourself on behalf of creative. The Player will eventually freeze up and attempts to fix officially using creative updated "play for sure" firmware software will "destroy your player for sure". Simple. I just wish i had read a little about this before attempting to upgrade the software and i might have salvaged what little was left of the player. The good reviews are simply from people who just haven't heard trouble with their products, It's not a question of if but when. You've been warned.

Summary: Dead after 1 year 5 months 2007-05-29
Comment: My wife & I bought two of these for Christmas in 2005 and loved them (our first MP3 players). Mine died 5-28-07 (5 mos out of warranty) and Creative's attitude is "so sorry, too bad, pay us for service, including online support or just fix it yourself." Read the postings on the Creative forum before you buy ANY of their products - CAVEAT EMPTOR. They have posted a firmware "upgrade" that frequently destroys the player. Woe be to the owner who hasn't backed up his ripped files. I have, and am shopping for another player, but it won't be made by Creative, I guarantee. We still own 2 Zen MicroPhotos (8 GB) and her Zen Xtra still works, who knows for how long? BTW, Creative's software is junk; you would be much better served to buy Notmad Explorer.
