2 out of 5 stars Nothing "Zen" about it.......2007-05-04

My sister informed me that this Creative Zen Nano 512MB we purchased her just over a year ago finally went defective, fell apart no less. I bought a similar Zen 1 GB shortly after her Christmas gift in 2005 was gifted and I am happy that mine might actually fail at some point because what I really need is a reliable little device to play MP3s that has a belt clip so I can actually do some running and exercise without having to babysit my music player. There is nothing serene about an MP3 player that needs constant babysitting becuase Creative couldn't provide a simple belt clip. This is also the first piece of moderately priced electronic equipment that goes together with plastic clips, not screws. Mine is superglued to hold it together.

1 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money on this piece of junk.......2007-02-15

I want to give this product a zero rating! Within one month of purchase, the battery lid got broken and I could not put it back. I made a phone call to creative and was told that the battery was NOT covered in warranty. The replacement would cost me $4.9 plus shipping and package with totals around 30. I argured with the CSR and they just rudely hang off the phone. I will never ever buy a creative product again. Guys, if you want to waste your money and be treated rudely, do not hesitate. Otherwise, choose a more honorabl brand!

5 out of 5 stars The Creative Zen Nano Plus Rocks!.......2007-01-28

The Creative Zen Nano Plus MP3 player is very small, not much bigger than a cigarette lighter, but it delivers great sound. From music to audio books, this little gem will not disappoint, especially for the price. The only con is that the battery doesn't charge from the USB port from what I've read, but you can buy rechargeable batteries and a battery charger or an ac adapter.

3 out of 5 stars Good for exercise.......2007-01-20

The 512 MB player doesn't hold a ton of songs, but is definitely enough room for songs to listen to while exercising. You'll want to purchase the arm strap specifically made for this player. It's available on the Creative site. The main buttons (on/off/pause; volume; and forward/back) are easy enough to work while jogging. The menu system is useless. For example, it let's you skip a folder, but nothing (on the menu or in the online documentation) tells you how to get it back in the play rotation. I've had this player for over a year now and it has been on my arm while jogging in the elements (snow, rain, heat) practically every other day and is still functioning great. The ear buds that come with the player are pretty sad - they fall out and the foam pieces come off rather easily. I finally had to replace them with something less annoying.

Bottom line - if you can get this player cheaply, it's a good buy. Just don't expect it to be comparable to an iPod.

2 out of 5 stars Lots of issues.......2007-01-18

This item has a lot of flaws, the only reason I got it was the price was quite less and it was a nice techy stocking stuffer of sorts. I have listed some of the issues i have seen with this product here:

1. Battery case - this is a flimsy piece of plastic and the finger that enables the cover to click shut will break with the slightest pressue. I totally agree with the other people who commented on this issue. Yes you can prevent it from breaking if you are willing to spend 5-10 minutes to slowly change the batteries but once you tend to hurry up with this process the end is inevitable!

2. Power off - the power off si the same as play or power on. If you want to power it off you got to press until you see the unit display switch off else it will stay powered on and playing and drain the battery or probably if in recording more might use up your entire storage space.


3. Chord - comes with chord to hang the unit around the neck while listening to stuff but unfortunately just like the battery case, the groove on the unit into which you are supposed to slip the chord and fasten it, is flimsy as well. It might break off if you have it caught somewhere and try to pull it free instead of patiently working it.

4. UI is bad - the IPOD click wheel is very simple and so is the Zune UI. This one is simple cos there is just one way to use it but its not easy to use.


Go for a IPOD Nano if you will. This one is not worth the investment.
