I bought this looking to take a step up from my 1gb player, and wanted to try one with some additional features. I really like the menu system in it for navigating and configuring things, the OLED screen is bright and easy to read. I don't like how there is no easy way to browse to songs in folders (you need to put them in playlists using the zen media explorer software on your computer, and have to browse all tracks for non-listed songs). Pictures look ok, actually the video looks better. The only thing about the video is as advertised (only very short clips) for the reason that the v plus can't process compressed video. A 10 minute clip can come out to 250mb, so don't expect to be using this to watch movies. Overall I felt it was a good value for the money and am quite satisfied with it. One last thing to note: keep a paperclip handy if you have one of these: though mine has only done it once in a month or two, others have been known to freeze periodically and require a reset via the small reset hole in the left side.Read full review
Ok since I spoil my kid and bought him the Ipod - I was looking for something cheaper but just as good - FOUND IT !! This thing is great - just pop in the software cd , follow the directions . Then connect your little player to your computer and start loading it up . This whole process took less than 30 minutes . I had about 60 - 70 songs on my computer I synced . Ok so this thing cool looking ( mine is black and green ) it has a clock on it , an organizer for dates and stuff and a RADIO !! I even uploaded some pics and put my little basset hound on mine as wallpaper ........ CUTE. Ready for the downside ? It is a little tough to navigate through - but if you like gadgets it's kind of fun to figure it out . Also with my sons Ipod it was easy to just drag and drop songs - this one will do it as well but there are a couple more steps so it can get confusing . So far - that is really all I can complain about - the creative earphones sound alot better than the ones that came with the Apple mp3 . In my opinion - this thing is a bargain and works just as well .... I have almost 300 songs on mine now and it is nowhere full .... PLUS THE BATTERY LASTS A LONG TIME !!Read full review
I bought this MP3 Player because my old one broke while I was trying to update the firmware. So sad as it was able to do absolutely everything. I loved it. One feature I was looking for in a new MP3 Player was a Line-in input. (I like the option of using it to record directly from specific sources to block out any background noises.) I searched high and low and found that most MP3 Players do not have a Line-in input so that's why I chose this one. What I don't like is that this MP3 Player does not allow you to record from the FM Tuner. My other one did. This came in handy as I attend lots of meetings that broadcast their program on the FM dial for the hearing impaired. So I will now have to bring an extra radio. (Thank goodness for the Line-in input; That will save me.) Another thing that I don't like is the lack of sensitivity to record using the Player's microphone. My other MP3 Player was so sensitive that I often had to put it in another room and close the door just so that the finished recording wouldn't be too overwhelming. (Especially when my band got together to jam.) Wow! That MP3 Player picked up heart beats! I cannot readily use this MP3 Player to record my jam sessions since it doesn't do well with picking up low frequencies, such as my bass player. All in all, however, it is a good MP3 Player. I'm just spoiled from having had the other one. This one does about 75% of what my other one was able to do so again, it may be just me. I recommend this player to the average person who likes to listen to music, store files and even watch a little video here and there. (And I do mean 'little'. PRO: small enough to fit in your pocket. CON: to watch videos you need good eye sight.) One more thing... LOVE the software that comes with this player. Among other things, it easily converts any video that you have on your computer to the format needed for viewing on your player. AWESOME.Read full review
With 2 GB of storage space, the Creative Labs Zen V Plus 2GB MP3 player allows you to store up to roughly 500 songs on it for up to 32 hours of music (the rechargeable battery provides 15 hours of playback). 2GB should be enough for most people, but for those of you with an even bigger music library, there's a 4GB version available that's a bit most expensive, and holds up 1,000 songs. The Zen V Plus 2GB mp3 player comes with all the software and is easy to install on your computer. You connect it to your computer via the USB 2.0 sync cable. While the player is connected you can transfer songs to it, create and edit your own playlists, and also manage your calender/daily planner. All this is being done while the battery is being recharged. It's easy to transfer songs to this mp3 player from your computer. If you already have songs on computer, you'll be listening to songs on your mp3 within a few short minutes. If not, there's software included that you can install on your computer that allows you to rip songs from your CDs. The Zen V Plus 2GB mp3 player also plays full color video, which is a pretty nifty feature. However, the screen is only 1.5" and therefore isn't ideal for watching videos. If you want to buy an mp3 player to watch videos, I recommend getting one with a bigger screen. Therefore the ability to watch videos on this player is nothing more than a novelty feature. Note: There's a similar mp3 player called the Zen V 2GB (without the "Plus") that cost less but doesn't have the ability to play videos. If you must have the ability to play videos, make sure you pick up the "Zen V GB Plus". Other features that this player offers is the ability to display photos, listen to FM radio (you can preset radio stations), check the time & date, record your voice, and (while on your computer) write down important events to the calender on the mp3 player. You can also change the display background color to one of about half a dozen different colors. So you can do quite a few small things with this mp3 player besides listening to music. As an mp3 for listening to music, the Zen V Plus works well, for the most part. It comes with ear phones for listening, but you can also buy speakers to listen to it aloud. If you want to listen to it while in the car, you can also buy a device to listen it through your car radio. However, there are some things that keep me from giving it a full recommendation. First of all the mp3 player is really small, and because of this, the buttons are small, and so is the control stick. I have small fingers but I still had some trouble using the stick and pressing the buttons. This isn't a problem when I'm at home or in a stationary place, but I also use it to listen to in car, and it's hard to use while driving. If you plan on using an mp3 player while driving, I suggest buying an mp3 with bigger buttons. If you have large fingers, you can forget about it. This is why this mp3 player is great for the kids (if you allow them to use mp3 players). With their smaller hands they shouldn't have trouble using the control stick and pressing the buttons. And 2GB worth of music should be more than enough to keep them entertained. Also you should buy an extended warranty on if you buy this (it should be about $20 for 2 year plan). About 3 months after buying this, my player just froze on me and I had to take back to be fixed. This player doesn't seem be as durable as otherRead full review
The Creative Zen V Plus is a user friendly MP3 Player, packed with features you would expect to only find on high end, more costly devices. Creative Zen V Plus is affordable and features MP3 formats, Video, FM Radio, MS Outlook compatibility. It has nice video playback and the battery life is good. I like the simple USB connectivity and the easy to comprehend user interface. Creative Zen has considerable bang for the buck, I would recommend it to anyone.
