Ready for remarkably thin and powerful performance from your portable music device? The Creative Zen Nano Plus 512 MB MP3 Player is the ticket. Incredibly thin and lightweight, it's packed with the latest features to meet all your needs. Enjoy amazing, skip-free audio quality when you're listening to your MP3 and WMA music.

The Zen Nano Plus is incredibly thin and can store 250 songs on its 512 MB flash memory. View larger.

The built in mic lets you record conversations.

The LCD is built for left or right handed operation.

The Nano Plus is much more than just a music player; it includes an FM tuner, voice/FM recording, and line-in encoding for direct connection and recording from any audio source. Use the Nano Plus to record music directly from your CD player, without a computer.

Of course, if you do have a computer you can transfer audio and data files in seconds with "drag-and-drop" ease--and without software--using the player's USB 2.0 connection. Meanwhile, the Auto Synchronization feature makes it easy to transfer your favorite songs and albums from CDs through the line-in port. Battery life is outstanding, allowing you to listen to music for up to 18 hours on a single AAA battery. Now you can keep the tunes rolling all day long, and do it in style, as the Zen Nano plus comes in ten fun, vibrant colors. The 512 MB model's flash memory can store up to 250 songs (WMA-encoding, 64 kbps).

The FM tuner lets you tune 32 stations. As mentioned, you can also record FM radio so you can catch your favorite tunes or talk shows later on. The built in microphone lets you record voice conversations -- great for those long lectures at school. You can also use the Nano Plus as a portable mini hard drive, allowing you to store data files such as photos and presentations. The unit's LCD is even reversible for left or right handed operation. Last but not least, the Zen Nano sports equalizer presets (Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock) that make your music sound better.

The Zen Nano Plus uses PlaysForSure technology. Look for the PlaysForSure logo if you're shopping for a portable music or video device and you want to make sure the digital music and video you purchase will play back on it every time. Match the PlaysForSure logo on a large selection of leading devices and online music stores. If you see the logo, you'll know your digital music will play for sure. Choose from a large number of digital music and video stores, including MTV's Urge, Rhapsody, Yahoo!, MSN Music, MusicMatch, MusicNow, Napster, Wal-Mart Music Downloads, and many more.

Very happy.......2007-03-06

I purchased this MP3 player to use while working in the yard and around the house. I love it and am considering upgrading. I find it very easy to use and to organize the contents. Even after sending it through the washer and dryer, it continues to work wonderfully.

Not great.......2007-01-22

I was looking for a small cheap Mp3 player and I didn't care how much memory it had so this seemed perfect for me. I saw that many people had rated this 4 and 5 stars so I decided to buy it. When I got the Creative nano I was really happy with its preformance until I tried to put my subscription music onto it. Thats when I learned that it wouldn't hold any subscription music forcing me to buy my music one by one which is costing a lot of money.

After that I started realising all of its imperfections. You can't use the FM radio in the car without hearing mostly static. You can't search through songs without actually changing the song you are listening to. Don't get me wrong, there are some good sides to this Mp3 player but I still would definately not recommend it.

Not knowledgeable enough to have made this order.......2007-01-10

I did not know enough able this item to have made this purchase. It was a gift and the 13 yr old was thrilled. BUT we had a really hard time setting it up. It still isn't up and going.

Very convenient, multi-talented MP3 Player.......2007-01-09

I actually have never owned an MP3 player until now, so I don't have much to compare the Creative with. But I can tell you it's great to have a small tool that can do so many things. The radio reception is fuzzy at times and the battery life is pretty bad with the wrong batteries, but overall it has a great set up with helpful file folders to organize, great recording capabilities, plug and play option if you don't want to install the CD on every computer you use it on, and so many ways to connect it to your computer and other hardware.

If you're not looking to break the bank purchasing a quality MP3 player then forget about iPod and go with Creative. (BTW: My player was red not black, but I'm sure the black one's just as high quality)

It's OK.......2007-01-04

Sound quality is ok for my purposes. I just use the player for listening to podcasts while exercising, so audio quality isn't a huge concern and I can't really comment on it. Main complaint is that the power/pause/play button is perfectly positioned to be accidentally pushed when you are squeezing the belt clip to attach or remove the device. Also, the display light is very dim, and navigation is somewhat difficult. FM radio reception is very weak, but that's probably to be expected given the lack of antenna surface area.

Agree pro and con.......2007-05-13

Every one is right. Good mp3 player, needs better headphones. I bought my first mp3 it is the MuVo, which was bigger but provided a soft belt clip holder that also fitted over th battery cover. It also the main part of the player detached from the battery holder with a bulit in usb adapter, very good, did not have to go through all the cords I have for other stuff. I have been very happy with that one. I bought the creative nano plus form staples for my grandaughter last Christmas they sent me the nano instead of sending it back I decided to keep it and get the correct zen nano plus which could transferr direct from cd player, the main reason I ordered it. Well to cut it short, my grandaughter lost the battery cover so I was going to take the one off mine and I noticed it was really loose, i'm sure it would have lost too. If you really want this player all you need to do is get a holder for it or the cheapest fix is to put a piece of tape on it. The thing is cheap but you get what you pay for. I paid about $70, thats a lot cheaper Than $300 for an IPOD!

on par with sandisk sansa series.......2007-01-12

this player looks cooler than the sansa series, and seems to crash/have errors less, but:

- it lacks a lock button
- the display only shows the song title and track time and battery life (the sansas show much more info)
- the "wheel button" feels cheesy like it could break and doesn't make control any easier
- the headphones are more uncomfortable and fall out for me (i think they are too big, and i have a big head)

overall, i'd say it has a much better value than an ipod, but about the same value as the sansas.

Creative ZEN Nano 'minus'.......2006-12-06

The Creative Nano sucks. 4 hrs and 2 calls to tech suppoert and the unit still will not be recognized by my computer. One of the Tech support help points was to use one of the USB ports on the BACK of the computer rather than the front (not in the instructions). They say that the ports on the back of computers are more capable that those on the front (?). I asked them why they would design a device - with a 6 inch cable - that required you to crawl under your desk to plug it in each time, when there is a perfectly good port (that works for every other plug-in device I have) on the front? All I got was a sheepish, 'yeah, I know' from the techie. Still did not work on the rear port. Then they wanted me to go in and do some monkey work with the computer's register. Forget it. It goes back. It's like buying a radio for your car and then being told you need to work on the transmission to get the radio to turn on. What a piece of crap. Amazon should have an option to rate '0 stars'.

Satisfying for a limited period........2006-12-03

I've been using this product for almost a year untill it broke down.
Once it fell and hit the ground and disintegrated on two pieces,
so I glued them together and then worked fine for couple months
untill sweat penetrated into its guts and made the wire that connects battery with main green plate corosive so it disconnected.
We tried to repair it but no go it's finished.
It's true that I've been using it mostly for running, gym and biking so it
was constantly wet of sweat so probably today would still work if I wouldn't use it for sports but I've bought it for that purpose.
PROS:
- small and quite thin
- one AAA battery lasts for about 18 hours
- simple menu and a lot of functions (FM radio also)
- very good sound for electronic music but not with original headphones
those are crap
- it looks nicer than competition

CONS:
- cheap plastic
- problems with battery cover
- cheap and clumzy scroll wheel
- too short interval of display light
- made in China

Battery cover comes off, then battery falls out! Creative offers little to help!.......2006-11-23

I agree with Lewis...but lets be accurate. The battery backing doesn't actually brake. It just falls off when you least expect it, and it's so small, you don't feel it, so there's no telling where the cover lands. Going thru Creative is a JOKE! I already got a free battery cover replacement, but within a month, THAT fell off too! I contacted Creative, and they said it's going to cost this time. Now, I'm expected to pay approximately $20 to get another cover (with shipping)! I told them that this is NOT an uncommon problem, and directed them to several different sites that discuss this problem (with still no solution), and that's where the conversation ended. I REALLY wish I hadn't bought this one. I guess I should have done my research, but I purchased it when it first came out, so it wouldn't have done any good. What a joke! Stay away from this product, unless you want to lose battery covers and batteries over and over. That becomes expensive, especially if you are taking the economical way and using rechargable batteries! STAY AWAY! AVOID!

NO NECK STRAP in the package.......2006-09-07

Despite Amazon's description, the package contents listing, and Creative's own website description, there is no neck strap in the package of the Zen Nano Plus.

When I contacted them, Creative support stated that "A neck strap is not provided with this product". You can, however, purchase one from them for $10.

This is a pretty shady move on Creative's part, and I am a little wary of purchasing another product from them because of this. If you do not need a neck strap, this will not be an issue for you, but if you want one, or just want the package to contain what it says it contains, you should look elsewhere.
