Creative ZenNano Plus 1GB Review

Overall Rating

Great value for money
Looks smart and more expensive than rival players
Very light and small

I can't think of any

Wouldn't everyone love an iPod? Of course! But those of us who do not desire a second mortgage have to make do with something a little more reasonably priced. I had a look around and decided to purchase the Nano. I bought only a 256Mb player, which equates to about 60 songs. I change them regularly and think that this is perfectly sufficient, as I'd never manage to listen to the 6000 songs I have on my computer. Besides, it would take me an hour just to locate the song I wanted. The player comes with a neck strap, USB cable, CD software, headphones and battery, and it takes all of 10 minutes to become an expert in using it.

I have used mine every day for the past year, and I have found that it's discreet (I wear a very fitted coat, and I can still wear it down the front without it being visible, and it doesn't attract muggers). It is light, very hardy and has good brand batteries that last for ages. It's also easy to use! I have all my songs categorised in folders, so it's fairly quick to find what you want.

Unfortunately, I lost my original player, and as I find travelling on the train difficult without noise to block out the crying children, loud talkers and train engine, I had to go out and buy a new MP3 player. I bought another Zen, but this time in purple, without even looking at other players. The only difference being that this time I got a 512Mb player so that I can add a few more songs.

I would thoroughly recommend this player! It's very easy to use and more advanced than most of the other 'cheap' MP3 players (and I've had a few). It looks good, and I found the headphones to be as good sound quality as the expensive brands, and I certainly wouldn't recommend an Ipod over the Craetive Zen Nano Plus.
