Zen MP3 Review
I love it. It was a wonderful deal. It works well and it has all the space I need, not to mention, that it's also adorable and pretty heavy duty.
I thought it was amazing until...
So i've had it for about 2 years, it WAS amazing to me, my first mp3. About 1,000 songs, videos, recording from the radio etc. Then without being dropped, without anything odd, it decided to delete absolutely every video, photo, and song file that I had. Of course beforehand it had the common freezes, I had to restart it every once in a while. But now I have to get a complete new one. It's ridiculous. In long term this isn't the player for you, but if you want to spend that much money for 2 years go ahead. I think i'm going to try a Zune.
2 years and still going strong!!
I have had my Vision M since September 2006 and it has been the most incredible mp3 player I have owned. I actually traded in a junk ipod for the Zen and was a bit apprehensive at first, but within a month, I discovered that I really made the right decision. I use my Zen EVERYDAY for about 16 hours! It has been exposed to both high and low temperatures since it is in a vehicle constantly, and there has been no problems with it. It is placed on the dashboard of a truck traveling on some of the roughest roads around, and still no problems. If you ask me, this is one of the best investments I have made. I also own a muvo by Creative that is very reliable. For an even cheaper, but reliable mp3 player, consider the SanDisk 1 GB MP3 ... Read More
great player, great price
simply put, this is a better product and cheaper than a similarly sized ipod when I bought it. It's also proven to be very robust. I've had mine two years nearly with not a single problem, even though I've dropped it many times, and given it similar hard knocks.
My new best friend!!
As an avid music listener, I was happy to be rid of my CD player, and my first choice was to get an IPOD. But a family member told me about the Zen and I'm sure glad she did! It's so easy to use, you can upload CDs, mp3s, WAVs, photos, and videos within minutes. You can customize your background (one of my personal favorite features) You can delete pics or songs or albums or playlist right from the device if you choose (yes, deleting without connecting to a computer!) The LCD display is crystal, the capacity is awesome, I probably won't fill this thing in a lifetime and I listen to A LOT of bands. So, it's a bit thicker than the IPOD, so what!?! That's really the only con about it I can think to name. Get this little gadget, you won't regret ... Read More
