A review, a recommendation,

This review is from: Creative Zen Touch 20 GB MP3 Player (Electronics)
I have had a Zen for the past few months, heres my review.
Q - Why a Zen?
A - I just wanted a Jukebox, that I could store all my CDs on and play them at work. Zen was Cheapest of the 3 majors and did everything I wanted it to do.
Q - Research?
A - I read every review and Mag on MP3 Players for about a month. Mostly all said the same thing. Each one of the Majors (Ipod, Iriver and Zen) all have same various problems, ( Set up issues, Poor Tech. Support, Bad Software etc..) and a majority of the reviewers seemed to be people whom had just got a Dud model, so I really didn't get that much out of it. ( Ck's Amazon review excepted, which is a wonderfully helpfully piece.)
Q - Why not Ipod?
A - I have friends whom have Ipods, but they all have apples and seem more attached to the styling and fashion statement, rather than the players features. Yes, Ipods look great and the Wheel navi. is great. But I have a PC and bad copy of...Read more

I returned it,

It was a lot bigger than I expected. I wanted something that I could operate with one hand only, but I had to hold the Zen Touch with one hand and operate the buttons with the other.
Also, a big reason why I returned it was because I thought that the radio and recording were already built into the device. THOSE FEATURES ARE SEPERATE! You have to buy the $50 remote control to have access to those features.
Other than that, it was fairly simple to operate, and the sound quality was phenomenal! However, if you want a smaller device that has the radio and recording features built in, I'd suggest the Creative Zen Sleek. It's just out in the US and it's about the same price as the Zen Touch.

Great little player,

Two years ago my wife asked for an ipod for her birthday. I thumbed through the Consumer Reports article on MP3 players and found that the Zen Touch outperformed the ipod in every way. Amazon had the best price, so we bought it here.
Two years later, she's still using it. She has loaded over 5,000 songs on it, and the software transfers the songs from the computer to the Zen Touch with ease. She listens to her player for five hours a day at work, and she only needs to bring it home for a weekend battery recharge. It runs 25 hours between charges!
Yeah, there aren't many good accessories for the player. They're all made for the ipod. You can't run your audio through a throw pillow. Aw.
But for personal audio, the thing the Zen Touch is supposed to do, it's a great little unit. My dad bought one on my recommendation, and he has loved it. My wife has enjoyed hers so much that I picked up a factory refurbished Zen Touch straight from Creative...Read more
