Customer Review: Simply the best
Summary: 5 Stars
i did a lot of research on Mp3 players, becaues i didnt want to just throw 400 dollars away on just anything. Most people are in the whole Ipod craze, and i knew that there had to be something better on the market. Well, i found it with the creative 30 gig, it's simply the best. Not only does it have 30 gigs, and holds 15,000 songs, the screen is crystal clear. It also has many helpful appications such as calender, contacts, and syncs up with outlook. You can change your background to any picture you want, making your mp3 player customized for you. I really didnt know what to expect when i got home, ripped the thing open, and begain to install the software. Is it going to be fast? Easy? Its was both, not only did it find every piece of music and video on my comp (about 10 gigs) it was on the creative in about 10 min, also converting video files. This is my first time writting a review, but felt i just had to say that creative whips the dog $^@# out of the ipod. (my buddies says the same, and he had the 60 gig ipod) so ha, to the followers of the ipod, and i welcome the leaders of the creative!!Customer Review: Dude this is a great player

I have just got this player and I will say right now that is awesome. It is able to pretty much everthing that an I-Pod can except for games. If you dont mind not having games, then this player is twice as good as its sister player the I-Pod. The main object that sets it apart is the fact that it has a built in FM radio and microphone. The recording quality is amazing. The screen is the same size as I-Pod's but it is clearer. another great function is the way you dont have to use I-Tunes. It uses windows and any MP3 formated song. Video playback is awsome. compatible formats such as: WMV9, MPEG1/2/3/4-SP, Motion JPEG, DivX and Xvid. The battery life for video is about 2x lnger than that of the I-Pod. Photo campatiable also and able to compose slide shows. With an Audio/Video out cable (comes with most new DVD players) you can easily plug the player right in to your TV. Simple and easy to use and not to mention $50 less than the 30gb I-Pod video it is a great player that can hold all of you media.
Amazon.com seems to be the cheepest place to find one at about $250.
Customer Review: Why this rocks the ipod...
Summary: 5 Stars
Man. Where to start.
Reasons why the zen rocks the ipod.
1)the color screen is simply AMAZING.
2)all high quality movies gotten off bittorrent are 90%
divx and xvid. meaning you dont have to go through the
demeaning process of converting videos.
3)And for the ipod, if you do convert your videos, they are restricted (quality wise) to the point that apple forces you to buy their videos off itunes to avoid stabbing yourself.
4)Battery life. Conpared to the Original Zen PMC (12 hours
of video life!) the zen sucks. But against its current opponent,
the ipod, the zen wins by 2 hours. Thats one more movie/4 more episodes of family guy.
5)The shortcut button is an excellent idea.
P.S. Sadly the only reason people find the ipod as a excellent mp3 player is that apple advertises the hell out of it. The ipod is actually a good mp3 player, it just isn't excellent like all of apple's herd of sheep think it is...
Customer Review: I absolutely love this product!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband bought this player for me as a birthday gift and it's the best!!! Loading songs is a breeze, and windows media player even finds the album art for you. The color on the screen is incredible. Though the documentation is a bit skimppy, once you play around with it for a while it's easy to figure out and navigate through all the functions. I just figured out how to load full lenght movies on it through another company's software (m2 convert for zen 29.99) and the movies look absolutely flawless. Pictures load very easily as well and the fm tuner, organizer, and removable storage are a nice touch. My only complaint would be that it scratches very very very easily!!! I mean even cleaning the screen with a glasses cloth will cause several faint scratches to appear on the screen so get screen protectors and I recommend a silicon case sold right here on amazon. Other than that it is perfect. Get this over the video ipod for sure you won't be disappointed!!!Customer Review: Fantastic player

Update after using it for more than 2.5 years:
I have been using my 30 GB Zen Vision M player for more than 2 years now and it is simply fantastic. I have used it both in media and data mode and there have been no problems what so ever. The bundled software is just fine - helps load media, create/manage playlists etc. FM radio works perfectly and catches all the stations available. I have loaded both TV sitcoms as well as full length movies and have had no issues playing them on this player. The stock ear-phones are also good - you can get adequate thump!!
Back when I purchased it, I got the same question from everybody - Why not Ipod? Well, I don't want hassles loading my huge mp3 collection to a player. Plus I get the FM radio built into the player instead of having to buy it separately. I had used Creative products in the past and knew that they care about audio quality. I'm glad I made the right choice.
