Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB Multimedia Player (Aluminum/White) Reviews
Now my happiness explodes. The zen sleek requires it's own special cord. I found them at a very reasonable price. And joyfully excepted this gift. I only use the MP3 Player in this. I received this as a Christmas present. It's like having a sound track to my life stories as it evolves day to day. This is easy to use and downloading music to this a joy.
Please check my other reviews. I can't even find this model on their website. I did put a few pictures in it though. Please note unlike the zen micro and muvi from with you can use a generic USB Cord. Play list to fit me every mood. 20 gigs. I play it 8hrs a day minimum.
Yummy. Also unlike the Zen Micro the battery can't be replaced with my zen micro I always kept two batteries. the FM tuner, recorder and other functions I have yet to explore. I remember when having 1 gig was amazing to me.
And some adapters for charging it in the car and a wall plug. I prefer my GPS for that, it has a much larger screen. But I have found a nice leather case for it. I really like the Creative products but find their customer support lacking.
Though I will say it does hold a charge at least ten hours continuous play. Please check my other reviews concerning Creative products. The first day I downloaded 10 albums it only took minutes.
It's prone to freezing up, requiring you to restart it. And for the price, it's quite the small hard drive. It's kinda buggy, especially when writing to it. If you're looking for a good MP3 player and you have a small library, this is good for you. And the menus are hard to navigate, especially with the slider.
Yes, Thats right, this MP3 Player from 2005 works with Windows Vista without any problems, assuming you don't use the software (which I don't advise anyways.its a waste of time) I just use windows media player to sync it up and then I am done. it's not as fast as the new Creative Zen but its quite a bit cheaper and it has never givien me any problems. (I have had it for 8 months).
For the money this is one great MP3 player, you get a lot of features i.e. I did drop it on the cement/sand street in West Africa (turned out ok, never had any damage other than a few scratches) and OH I forgot, the charger is dual voltage which is sweet if you travel all you need is the adapter. I found a silicone skin on the street here in NYC and so mine is staying in pretty good shape. FM Tuner, Photos, ability to change the themes for your color screen (which makes this a better value and not to mention just as attractive or more so than ipod). I have only had this freeze a handful of times on me but I just pushed the reset button on the bottom and it took a few minutes to re-build the library. My eyes are looking at the 80GB Zune now though if Creative does not come out with something comparable in price.
The aluminum case is scuffed and the plastic over screen is chipped but the screen is undamaged and all functions are fine. this is a great product. i use this 8 hours a day 5 days a week 200+ days a year for 2 years so far and the batery is still strong. I have dropped this thing a dozen times from my chest pocket to a couragated metal floor and it never really damaged it. highly reccomended.
