General Comments
My Dad bought me a Creative ZEN Vision M 30gb as a birthday present. It took a little getting used to, especially the touch sensitive pad. I found it bulky and it's not the sort of MP3 player to stick in your pocket if you're going for a run. However, the memory is great, and for long train journeys, this has stopped me becoming bored. It's also great for transferring documents, music and videos.
I like the fact that it syncs to Windows Media Player because it meant that my already organised music collection got put onto my Creative and it was already sorted.
I did experience some problems. My first Creative crashed a few times, but I was able to reset it using the back end of my earring and no data was lost. However, after about a month, it stopped syncing to my laptop, then stopped syncing to any computer. I gave everything back to my Dad, who sent it back to the company. They very promptly sent me a brand new Creative which has not caused any problems to date.
