Good player at a great price...but not perfect |
I bought the 30gb Zen xtra a few years back and it is still working perfect and the battery life is still good as well (about 10 hours). I've even dropped it a few times and while one of the corners is a bit scratched up from dropping it, it is still working perfect. As with any product there are pros and cons. Here is what I've found over the years about this player:
Pros: Great battery life. Removable and replaceable battery is a big plus. You could buy an extra on ebay. By the way, for those of you who have a Muvo^2 4gb player may want to know that the battery and charger are exactly the same and interchangable with the Zen Xtra. The sound quality of this thing is amazing... especially if you rip your own mp3's at a higher setting bitrate (like 192kbps or higher). Lots of sound features that let you customize your own equalizer and other settings. By the way, it comes with a good mp3 ripping/compression software called mediasource.
Cons: The case that came with mine didn't have a window for the screen. The newer Xtras may come with a different case that does, so this isn't much of an issue. The size is a bit larger than other mp3 players(especially while using the included case). The controls are not as user friendly as they could be. No FM radio or voice recorder. Not a lot of accessories available for this player.
Creative, if you are listening... here is what we need for the next Mp3 Zen upgrade. It needs to be a bit smaller yet hold at least 30GB standard. FM Radio and Recorder integrated. Removable battery is a must. Plug and play USB and drag and drop features like the muvo with no software to install would be great. USB charging feature. And last but not least, aesthetically pleasing looks and easy user interface.
Okay, while I was writing this (literally) I just went to the creative website and it looks like they have a new player out called the Zen Vision! Looks very exciting and has all the features I was talking about. Only thing is that it looks like it's $399 retail. Um... can I add that affordable needs to be a feature that we need too?

Good but not Perfect |
| I have not any problems with the player yet but there is somethings that get frustrating. For example it took me hours to figure out how to create a playlist, and you pretty much have to learn how to work it yourself. Also the battery can work for a long period of time or just 90 minutes. The software that comes with it is not very good I registered the product then used windows media player for my music and it was a lot easier. But otherwise this is a great deal and the music quality is great. |
