Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-31 Summary: Awesome MP3 player! ... The anti- Ipod mp3 player, if you could say it. No touch screen, but that's okay. It's small, just the right size. Bigger than the nano, but smaller than the huge touch. It is the size of a credit card, literally. I love mine, the screen is adequate enough to watch videos on. The only problem is that the player can freeze numerous times during the first few months of use... but that's easily fixable via a recovery tool that comes with it if you just look at creative's website. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-03 Summary: Sleek look, sharp graphics, great performer ... This is my 2nd Creative-brand player. My first model was an MP3 player/radio. I upgraded to the Zen 8 because I needed more memory for my music collection and wanted a video player, as well. The Zen 8 has not disappointed. Sound and video quality are outstanding. The player's button controls are easy to use and logical (helpful if you're not into reading directions). The 8 GB memory provides ample storage. (I have seven episodes of The Office loaded and they fill less than half of the player's capacity.)Transferring ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-01-03 Summary: Amazingly Clear Sound ... I hesitated buying this product because I'd read numerous reports online of it's shortcomings: the hardware was dodgy, the conversion software was clunky and unintuitive, it had a mediocre radio, and I should always have a paperclip on hand to hit the reset button. Despite these qualms, I finally broke down and purchased it after determining I wanted something a bit...more...than my 8GB Sansa Clip (a wonderful MP3 player for the price, BTW).

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-01-02 Summary: Money well spent ... I didn't have a lot of need for a music player, so I looked for an inexpensive one to serve my simple needs. I chose this one, which has vastly more features than I'll ever use--I need music only. Its memory easily handles my entire library, but I've only copied about 26 hours of music to it. The received unit had a defect that caused the display to go blank from time to time, and the seller replaced it with no hassles. The new unit is completely satisfactory. If you're a young person who couldn't survive without an ...more

(My last MP3 player was an iriver, only 256 MB, although it is great and still works well) I am glad I asked for this for Christmas. I was able to quickly load songs from my computer using windows media player. Download is fast and simple. I did go to the sansa website to learn how to load groups of songs in a file, and was able to do that also. So I have separate files of music (workout section,etc). The radio is very easy to work and ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-29 Summary: Good overall music player ... The reviews I have read here are right on. The dial is a little clumsy, the buttons, a little hard to use, but not a big deal to me. The screen is very clear and construction seems good. I would like more eq controls but most players, including the apple ones, have only 4 - 6 as well, so not a big deal. the interface is very user friendly. Overall - Just another reason to ask, "why would you spend over twice the money on an iPod???" ...more
