Summary: Product failure 2008-04-13
Comment: I wanted to like this product based on cost vs Ipod. I did but experienced occasional lockups which were corrected by reseting the unit. After 14 months product failed - dead. Simply unacceptable for a mass produced consumer product. Don't waste your money as I believe I have. I will be contacting Creative to try and get a partial credit/refund.

Summary: Outstanding portable recorder... with one major flaw. 2008-02-09
Comment: If you have old tapes and records you would like to be able to archive, put into your computer or other MP3 player, and/or burn CD copies of, this is the the portable media player/ recorder for you...but it has one MAJOR flaw*
A line in jack (odd 2.5mm, but adaptable) is a very rare thing on a portable media player/ recorder, and this has one...add to that it's VU meters and it's close to perfect for making digital copies of any audio source including your old analog recordings. That's right it actually has a line in jack AND VU meters..how sweet is that? With an adapter ( Audio Adapter - Rca - Mini-phone Stereo 3.5 Mm (m) ) you can jack it right in to your stereo system..with the included 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable you can jack into anything with a standard stereo 3.5mm headphone/ output jack.
Recoding is encoded at 128 or 160Kbps WMA..ok so it.s not high end top notch audio, but it's just fine for cassettes,LPs, 45s, radio, and yes even your old 8-track cartridges. 320 Kbps would have been better, but 160 is adequate.
It also has a built in mono microphone that makes decent sounding recordings.
..and yes it'll play your audio files, and display pictures too... just like everything else, bla, bla ,bla. Nothing new there.
Audio output is not very loud, but it does have a real user adjustable five band equalizer.
Battery life is about 9-12 hrs...Uh... battery..battery...WHERE'S THE BATTERY?
* THE BATTERY IS NOT USER REPLACEABLE. IMHO that's inexcusable. When it goes dead on you and you're away from home you're sunk. Likewise when it'll no longer hold a charge. The only way to replace the battery is to literally pry the case apart or have it replaced by a technician!
As a recorder I'd give it an 8/10.
As a portable media player I'd give it 2/10 because of the battery issue alone...where it not for that I'd say 7/10.. sounds good for what it is, but I wish it had more output power.

Comment: I love my Creative Zen. I have downloaded a bunch of music easily and have been enjoying it since I recieved it. I highly recommend it as a more affordable version of the Ipod.
