Not worth the money
My husband bought this item for me for my birthday last year. Looks good, but could only be charged via pc and so useless for holidays. I bought the docking speakers to use with this item so that I would get more use out of it as it charged whilst docked. After 1 month of using the docking speakers the player would not work. I paid £60 for the speakers and now have not got a player that works! Bit of a rip off if you ask me. I also have noticed how many of these players are for sale on Amazon "refurbished" which leads me to believe this is happening a lot.

not impressed
Tried this as a christmas present for my son. after a frustrating week of trying to get the computer to recognise the device, can only assume it was broken. May be a problem with Vista even though customer support said not, but kept directing me to their XP downloads. Returned to Amazon and replaced with a Sony walkman, which loaded immediately and was really simple to use.

Fantastic Product
I have had two "stick" MP3 players before, one of which broke. This player is way better than both of them. The menus are easy to use, the sound quality is great, the headphones are decent, it is cool to be able to have pictures/videos (though the videos are converted to a huge, ridiculous size) and the capacity to fit hundreds of songs.
I think this MP3 player is great value for money. My only regret is not buying the 2 or 4 GB versions because the 1 GB rather restricts space.
This MP3 player is small, sleek and, perhaps most importantly, has NEVER broken, after a total usage time of probably several hundred hours. It is very resistant to bashes and scratches, is simple yet sophisticated and I am really glad I bought it. Compared to an IPod, it feels less likely to break or scratch, is 1/5 of the price and does everything an IPod does. The FM Radio, microphone and Line-In recording have been added bonuses. One other problem is that

To summarise: It is a pleasure to use and you can be 99% sure it won't break. A great product!

N.B. - With the reviewers who gave it 1 star, one wrote a completely identical review for about 10 Creative products, so I didn't pay attention to it. Hopefully, as the product is good, you should never need the customer support/warranty/the need to upgrade firmware anyway. It is a perfect player as it is.
This product also keeps changing in price - I bought it for £44, the week after it was £55 and now it is £47. The 2 GB is also more expensive than the 4 GB (at the moment). I would highly recommend this player to anyone who wanted a new music, video and photo MP3 player.

Another Creative mp3 disaster.....
Having had 2 'zen vision' mp3 players pack up (luckily under warranty )
this unit has now given up refuses to charge up, creative customer support are hopeless and predictably suggest upgrade firmware, but impossible if it doesnt turn on....going to get exhanged for another brand before the warranty runs out.
