Great - as long as it stays in your pocket...

I bought one of these a couple of years ago when they were brand new for about £150 because I''d always been a fan of Creative products and I was surrounded by everyone else owning an Apple Ipod and wanted to be a little bit more original. As a music player it stands out from the crowd, even today the sound quality beats any of my friends'' Ipods even the Video ones when it comes to the quality of sound. It is also incredibly easy to use and to load and unload songs onto it - there is no messing around with Itunes style deleting all of your songs. However, aesthetically, it doesn''t do so well. It isn''t very well designed and it is comparible in weight to a brick and rather ugly. But if you want a quality MP3 player. This is a good choice.

Superb Piece of Engineering

An absolutely superb piece of engineering. I have had dealings with ipods and i find them confusing and hard to navigate, yet the creative zen touch, a legitimate competitor of the ipod, is so easy to use and looks cool too.

ProsCons
I love the colouring of the screen, the blue looks really good, and the large print makes text easy to read.The touch pad works excellently and is far more straight forward than the circle touch of the ipod. I think that the random button was also a very good addition as it allows you to listen to everything if u can decide what genre to choose!Bad points are few, though i do think that it is slightly too chunky, and is quite heavy. There could be fewer buttons, therefore limiting mechanical failure.

Creative Zen Toucn..20 GB

Stylish little mp3 player very compact and easy to use. Excellent sound control with the added extra of its own graphic equalizer, thus allowing the user to adjust the sound to his/her own pleasure. Creative have added a volume control feature to the Zen It controls the level of sound which is more than enough for anyones ear drums on maximum volume. Those who prefer richer bass sounds need to purchase the ear bud style of headphone...then the brilliance of the Zen comes into its own as all the bass sounds come to life !!! Very good touch control. The anti-jog slide gives Very Good anti-vibration control when using the player during many forms of activity. Another feature is when the player is turned turned off, it resumes where you left off, listening to the same track.Unique Idea...Very Good. Quick battery charge-up, by Mains or car lighter...and long life battery use gives excellent long play duration.

ProsCons
Brilliant Player....Extremely Robust...Again I would Commend the Creative Designers on their Excellent Player...!!!The finger slide control is difficult to set if not careful and remove your finger quickly, the players scroll zooms up or down the screen..Needs some getting used to.
