Creative ZenNano Plus 1GB

The Creative ZEN Nano Plus is great value for money. Can make Apple pod make a run for their money.. But very poor marketing...Creative needs to wamp up marketing.. it has the products. They need to know what to do with them.

So it's not an iPod, so what?! For simplicity, it can't be beaten. Can you change to the song you want with your iPod still in your pocket? Didn't think so. The only reason I didn't give a 10 for an overall rating is because it scratches quite easily, but so does an iPod. Just put a case on it and you'll be fine. Do i need to say anymore?! Go buy one!!

It is shocking how fast these things become relics. I bought my 256Mb version for $80cdn, and within less than a year the 1Gb version was the same price. Such is modern computing I suppose. Though, in this disposable world that I am still using mine must be a testament to the product... or maybe just my parsimony.

I recommend Creative personal audio products to anybody.

Yeah, it's not an iPod!

It is a great MP3 player! I use it when on the road or jogging. It does its job without no useless extra features. I simply love it! The Creative Zen Nano Plus is the best way to go if you want a simple, good working MP3 player.

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.

The Creative ZEN Nano Plus is a nice enough little MP3 player with plenty of features, especially if you replace the supplied earphones with something rather better, but easy to drive. I'm using a pair of Sennheiser PX100, which I've reviewed elsewhere. It is diminutive, which is good or bad depending on how you see things; for me that's just fine, others might find it 'fiddly'. I live in an area with plenty of FM reception and the radio works well. I am not so sure this would be the case where signals are weaker.

The Creative software comes with a warning that you must have an up to date version of Quicktime (v7.0.3) or the installation will stall. I have a later version and it still stalled, having taken an age to get to that stage. On rebooting the installation seemed complete anyway. There is much better software to be had elsewhere, but it does the job.

£57 delivered from TribalUK (plus about £20 for the new phones from Amazon).

The Creative Zen Nano Plus MP3 player is small enough to go anywhere, but big enough to go there for a long time. If you want to fit as much as you can on the thing, you're best using WMA format at 64kbps rather than the equivalent, yet extensively bigger MP3 files of the same quality at 128kbps! The power is all about the standard of the batteries you use. If you are using it whilst cycling or at the gym, or any other situation where you don't need to fiddle with buttons or pick the tracks you want to listen to, then this is the perfect MP3 player for you. It is simple and practical! I could plug many other Creative products in my household, but I will spare the gentle reader from that! I could use a decent carry holder for the MP3 player though!

My Creative Zen Nano Plus 1Gb turned out to be a great MP3 player. It was much less costly than others, and it is a pleasure to use. I would buy another one for sure. It has a good user interface, and it was exactly what i wanted and expected.

My first MP3 player, and I was really impressed with Creative Zen Nano Plus sound quality (no blips on mine!). Has just enough functions to satisfy first-time user, without being confusing. Am sure I will want more functions for my money next time, but with prices continually dropping I would definitely recommend this model.

The Creative Zen Nano Plus is an excellent MP3 player for the price. Well worth a look.
