Refurbished Creative Zen Mp3 Player 4GB (Black)

This is the 2nd zen for me (got 1st one (same as this one) at bestbuy for just over a 100buks in 2008 and it's still kickin like new). I opted this time for the refurbished from creative labs right here on amazon. It arrived in the time frame stated for free shipping. It came professionally packaged (suitable for gifting) and looked like new condition. It came with half a battery and worked exactly as it should have. I have played with and tested a lot of mp3/media players and creative zen holds strong for portability, sound, and durability (screen is gorillaglass).

Had the 4gb black version for about 3-4 years. I think I paid $110 for it. Last week unfortunately it got put in the washing machine since it was in a pocket and it didn't make it. I loved it though. Much cheaper then the ipod and works just as well. I liked that I didn't have to install iTunes or anything like that. Windows Media files worked on it and using those files you could put a ton on it. Plus it had an SD slot so you could expand it more if needed. Just make sure you don't get water on it!

No issues whatsoever with the refurbished product. It's a good quality compact MP3/video/picture player. SD slot leaves lots of room for memory expansion and the player handles a variety of file formats.
