Considering a Creative Zen V Plus 4GB??
I am shopping around for an MP3 player. I’d like one that does photos, but I don’t know if I really care about video capabilities. I would like to be able to use some sort of docking station, though, for traveling in hotel rooms.
So I’ve been considering this Zen V. I’m just not sold on the whole iPod thing.
Does what are the pros and cons of this player? (Other than the gotta-have-Windows XP thing.) What do you specifically like or dislike about this player? Would you recommend something else? Where is the best place to buy one? (I don’t have a whole lot of shopping to choose from where I live, Walmart, Fred Meyer, Best Buy are maybe the best choices, or it is possible to buy online but then the shipping kills me here in Alaska)
10 points to the most complete answer, either pro or con! : )
I bought this about 4 months ago and so far it has performed flawlessly. I wanted at all costs to avoid the Ipod.
I like the fact that it has 4GB compared to my previous Creative 1 GB player. This one also does videos (though you have to use the included video converter). I wouldn’t recommend watching movies on it as the screen is small. However, overall, compared to the same size Nano, this is a better player. They also have regular Creative Zen V 4GB without the video feature for about $10 less.
The small size is great. It is shorter but thicker than the Nano but fits inside thatlittle Levi’s jeans change pocket.
I needed a flash player that I could exercise with and this one fit the bill. This player syncs well with Zencast and I was able to get all of my podcasts. It will also sync with Itunes through Windows media player butusing Zencast directly is much simpler. Though Zencast is not as intuitive as Itunes you should be able to figure it out.
You can do some neat things like listening to music while looking at your photos.
Included in the package is a lanyard, software,connecting cable, ear buds. The battery recharges only hooked up to the USB port on your computer or with an optional charger. Battery life is not great. You are supposed to get 15 hours for music but I haven’t gotten that, though I have been fiddlingwith it a lot, using the back light.
The player has a built-in FM tuner, though you can’t record the radio on it as you can on other Creative players. There is also a microphone recorder so you can easily record meetings and the like.
I bought a case for it so that I can run with it, but the screen and the unit are made of good grade plastic and it doesn’t scratch easily.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice looking, cute even, MP3 player for exercising and listening while commuting.
One problem to take note of is that,since this is not a ipod, accessories are going to be hard to find and probably of lesser quality. They sell the Creative player at Walmart online and you can have the player and its accessories shipped, but if you were to walk into the store to buy the player you aren’t going to find any accessories to go with it.
Hope this helps!
