Got this for my little brother who is 11 it's a good step up from his portable CD player but a lot less exspensive than an Ipod. The software and controles are pretty basic and I had him ripping and listining to music in about an hour. If your looking for a good middle man for kids that want somthing high tech but are to young to really take care of somthing super exspensive than this is a good choice.

this is my first mp3 player when i got it it was very small and the controls are small too but it was finished downloading 20 min. after i opened the box id recomend this to anybody who is getting there first mp3 player

This was one of the two players I purchased (The other being a Samsung YP-MT6X, also 512mb). I like both, and they were easy to set up immediately right out of the box.

This particular player is slightly slimmer, and uses a AAA battery, making it a very compact player. Easy to forget in your pocket. Not a bad trait at all. I haven't used the voice recorder, but I suppose it could be nifty in a moment if you had to remember a phone number or address or something of that nature, taking quick notes.

Things I liked..
Good Audio Quality
Replaceable (AAA) Batteries
Backlit Display
Compact
Reliable

Even though it's missing the radio tuner of my other MP3 player, I give it 5 stars anyway. It's a wonderful entertainment device. I hardly listen to the radio with such a small player, otherwise it might affect the rating. For those of you who want a radio tuner, look for another device. Otherwise, it's economical, well-featured, and reliable for what it's designed to do...play digital audio files. The average listener doesn't need 5 gigabytes of storage, generally. If you just want to listen to some tunes on your break from work, this is definately something for you to look into. I recommend it highly.

I love this thing,it's so cool,and small.I've got it to hold 126 songs, i'm sure it can hold more, but I don't listen to any more then that, and I don't want to put anymore time into it.Very easy to use ,and I change songs easy.The drop songs feature makes it so easy to use.

I've had this mp3 player for a while now, since I was 18 and I am 21. It's lasted me all these years and I think that's amazing. I've attempted to purchase other mp3 players but I always end using my little buddy in the end. It's been through some tough situations, with me dropping it on the floor by accident at my job several times over the years. I now have to keep it together with a piece of tape but it still works the same as the day I got it. So, I would definitely recommend this cute lil' thing to anyone who has a passion for music and for someone who has a short playlist. I personally use it when I'm cleaning house. So, totally recommended! ^_^

I like the small size and removable batteries so you don't have put the device on a charger and you can change batteries on the fly. The only bad point is the fragile hook on the battery door and needs a special cord to download new songs. For the price it is great. I use mine while jogging

I WAS DISSAPOINTED WITH THE SOUND COMING FROM THIS LITTLE BLUE BOX. ALL HIGHS AND MID RANGE BUT NOT MUCH BASS AT ALL. EVEN WHILE WEARING MY $70. SENNHEISER NOISE REDUCTION HEADPHONES. BUT I WILL SAY I LIKE THE EASE OF OPERATION. ALSO WHY DOES THE LCD DISPLAY ONLY NAMES THE SONGS THAT'S PLAYING AND NOT THE ARTISTS? THIS IS MY 2ND MP3 PLAYER. IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE BUYING A THIRD ONE SOON.

Its relly good but the price its a litle to high in comparison to others MP3 players. But have a good radio and microphone.

Dollar for Dollar Creative Labs has the finest sounding easy to download and use MP3 players and related equipment.

This is the second Zen we have purchased. Obviously, it would not have been purchased if we hadn't liked the first one. This was not purchased to replace a Zen, but was purchased as a second unit for another family member.
Learning how to use the screen to rip/convert the audio files presented a slight "learning curve" (via some trial/error), but it's no different from any new application. Besides, it couldn't be much worse than Microsoft product changes (to learn).
Still, the zen would have scored a 5, for my purposes, if the documenation would have been better, with some examples provided. After all, time is a precious commodity for most of us.
Thanks.
