Firstly Creative have developed a very well built player which is sturdy and robust, although slightly big compared to newer models on the market. The creative software it comes with is also very easy to use and makes the whole process of copying music ridiculously simple, even for those who are technophobes. Another plus is that it is very easy to adjust to your own requirements both in terms of settings of the player and usability and I have only had to reset this twice throughout its lifetime, and once done it only took a few minutes to sort itself out and start playing again. There are, however, a couple of observations now I've had it for over 4 years. Whilst the battery is fantastic when first using it, it has gradually depleted itself, as all batteries do, to the point where it now only last for about 20 minutes. Whilst this is pretty good given that I have used it almost every day for the last 4 years, I now have to keep it plugged in which is fine as I keep it connected to speakers at home, but limits its usefulness as a portable music player. The second issue I have is that it randomly stopped syncing with windows media player and limited me to only use the creative software. Whilst this wasn't particularly an issue as the creative software is very simple to use, it was slightly annoying to not have that freedom. And the creative support levels leave a lot to be desired. It may have changed now, but even during the first year of ownership, you only had 90 days worth of telephone support and after that it all had to go through their website and it takes the weeks sometimes to respond. After 4 years of happy usage with this, I am only now just thinking about getting a new MP3 player and, as I am looking for a good one and therefore won't go with Apple, I think Creative are certainly near the top of my list of players I will be checking out. creative zen touch (03 September 2009)i've owned one for about 3 and 1/2 years now and just wanted to add to the many reviews of this wonderful product. about the sensitivity of the touch pad... i wanted to download pod cast so i went to the creative website and downloaded the latest firmware for the product...what did i get?? and better mp3 player.i know can download pod cats but it has also sorted out sensitivity of the touch pad... so i would say if you find it too sensitive then donload the latest firmware. WHO NEEDS AN I-POD (15 April 2009)THE ZEN TOUGH 20GB IS PROBABLY THE BEST BUDGET ALTERNATIVE TO AN I-POD ON THE MARKET AT THE PRESENT TIME. YOU CAN GET IT FROM AS LITTLE AS £40.00(CLEARANCE BARGAINS (ARGOS) WOULD ADVISE ANYONE PURCHASING THIS TO DOWNLOAD ALL NEW SOFTWARE ETC. FROM CREATIVE WEBSITE BEFORE YOU LOAD YOUR MUSIC ONTO IT , IF YOU DO YOU WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE MADE BY RONSEAL - IT DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX.THIS IS A SIMPLE, NO FRILLS GOOD QUALITY MP3 PLAYER Disappointed with creative zen product (27 March 2009)I bought this item in 2005 and have used it quite a lot. However it has been increasingly difficult to connect the device to my PC over the last year or so. I have tried reinstalling the software and going through the suggestions in the help sections. My time would have been better spent buying a new one but I'm not sure if I'd go for another product by Creative. I originally bought the Creative Zen because of the good reviews and the device worked very well initially so I was pleased at first. At the moment I am still able to play what I have on it but how long will it be before the thing crashes all together? i-pod alternative (21 March 2009)WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THE ZEN TOUCH? IT'S A LOT CHEAPER THAN AN EQUIVALENT I- POD ( A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER IF YOU GO TO CLEARANCE BARGAINS (ARGOS END OF RANGE SHOP) AT ABOUT £49.99). BUILD QUALITY IS VERY GOOD. VERY EASY TO USE VIA ON SCREEN MENU. I WOULD ADVISE DOWNLOADING ALL CURRENT SOFTWARE UPDATES FROM CREATIVE PRIOR TO LOADING YOUR MUSIC ONTO IT, BUT OVERALL I THINK IT'S BRILLIANT. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE TO PURCHASE A SET OF CREATIVE ACTIVE SPEAKERS TO GO WITH YOUR TOUCH, TO COMPLETE BUDGET PRICED MUSIC SYSTEM. |
