3.0 out of 5 stars Hopefully Helpful... This info sure helped ME!, March 16, 2006
This review is from: Creative Zen Nano 512 MB MP3 Player (White) (Electronics)
Let me save you some time... if your player starts shutting down, tech support will tell you it's a DRM thing and that you have to use a specific program to transfer files, that you have to upgrade the firmware and drivers off of their site. It all works pretty well, although a clumsy process... but if you want your unit to continue to function properly, you need an older driver. Try to find this version: ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF_1_10_03 (it's the version before the current one, so it's bound to be floating around out there somewhere... just keep looking or demand it from Creative) - I just reformatted and flashed my firmware using this version and it now works just fine. GOOD LUCK!!! [...]

I should also mention that this would be the PERFECT player if:

1) the little tooth on the battery compartment sliding door didn't break off so EASILY.

2) The firmware wasn't sush a mess (they blame record labels and DRM restrictions...)

3) and the recording quality was something better than, like about 32 kHz wav. 192 mp3 would be better.

Otherwise I LOVE the unit and the ease of operation.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first MP3 player., September 1, 2005
This review is from: Creative Zen Nano 512 MB MP3 Player (White) (Electronics)
Well this is my first MP3 player. I was warned about buying an IPod (horribly expensive and horribly corporate) so I opted for something moderately-priced but yet adequate storage. I'm going to see if there is a case for it because honestly I do not like the mp3 player banging around when I am jogging. (It comes with an attachment to a necklace.)

Easy enough to connect to your computer, just a USB cable. Have to install the software, it comes with a lot of extra stuff so I just say to install the bare minimum. Downloading songs to and fro is a cinch and takes a few seconds. Great for long car trips or walks. I highly recommend this to a first-time buyer or a casual mp3 user.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zen Nano: great little player, but choose model carefully!, December 28, 2005
This review is from: Creative Zen Nano 512 MB MP3 Player (White) (Electronics)
I have a Zen Nano Plus 1GB and I love it...after initially feeling just lukewarm about it. The controls are quite good, simple and easy to use without looking - something you don't notice immediately, but after using it for a few months I see why some players are better than others (especially these small ones). Mine came with a rubber case/arm strap, the FM tuner, and all the extras - have seen Creative is selling a wide array of "versions" of the Zen Nano so just choose carefully and you will LOVE IT. The equalizer and random play features really make this a standout small player.

When paired with my Shure E2C headphones it ROCKS!!! Not earsplitting volume, but plenty for the average listener. Original headphones are indeed CRAP.
