 great mp3 player July 19, 2008
I absolutely love my Zen Sleek Photo. This is by far the best mp3 player that I have ever had. My Zen is 100% better than a IPOD.... I am very happy with my purchase..... I would recommend this MP3 player to everybody.
I gotta a Zen for you May 21, 2008
I own several creative products. I got this one for Christmas. 20 Gigs! Whew I got the power! I use this at work and at home. I have never played more than 8 hours without a charge. As with my Zen Photo micro 8 gig I do not use this for pictures. I find my GPS unit has a bigger screen and makes a fine slide show. I rarely use headphones but I find the ones that come with this package real cheap. Spring for some nicer ones. If your only here for the Music. This is it! It records, has an FM radio. You can create playlists to suit your mood. This has some weight to it but is not cumbersome. I have hundreds of CD's and to upload them to an I POD with be too much work! That's what I love about Creative transfers are painless and can be used by many platforms. real player, Music match, Window media, Yahoo music. I uploaded fifty songs yesterday in under five minutes. Sweet! Combined with my new set of speakers Jabra Klipsch Stereo Speaker for Cell Phones and MP3 Players ; S5010 I am very happy with both items.
And by the way I found a very nice package of adapters for this item. Cheap too.(Amazon) I can now charge it in the car or plugged it in a wall. I have now have two adapters one at work and one on the job. My only con with this is that the battery is built in. My 8 gig micro photo I just ordered another battery and swap it out when I am away from electric sources. This 20 gig will not be going on camping trips although I am sure it can hold a 10 hour charge NP.
Bargain Cell 5 Bucks!

The Update 6/21/08: Although I have yet to have a problem with my Zen sleek photo media player. I must say support for this item is non-existent.
Nothing is on their Website. That's right you can't find this item on their website! I emailed them for some info and that was two weeks ago. Over all I am happy with this product. But I feel Creative has abandoned it.
 This is not a good buy March 9, 2008
I bought this product a year and a half ago. It has been a definite hassle, and it would be very tough for me to recommend it to anyone else. From my experience, it averages about 6 hours of audio playback and can hold about 3,000 songs. Their is also a headphone problem, where all hearing is lost in the right earphone. So, new headphones once every 3 months. I have also had lots of problems syncing new music onto it, it often has to rebuild the library and I often had to reset the device. About a week ago, the device would not go past the first screen no matter what, and there is very little help online.
This is not the mp3 for people who want easy to use software, it is very frustrating, and i am glad to be rid of my creative lab.

I've had this MP3 player for a good while.... Got it new for over $200 dollars and after watching the market for almost two years I realize what a bad deal that was. I suppose it is worth the $129 price. My main problems with it were the following:
1. small screen. The screen boasts a ton of colors, but the screen is small and rather old looking.
2. horrible battery. they say it is a 19 hour battery, but nay. after about six months it's down to ten and after a year and a half... It won't last five hours. no joke.
3. Buggs up.... alot. About every month or two you will need to restart it because it freezes up. It then takes over ten minutes to 're-build library'. whatever that means. You also can't view photos at the same time as playing music... expect the music to stop when you touch the photo button. While on the subject of photos, it pauses waaaay too much when viewing photos. expect to take anywhere between a minute and ten to view ten photos.
And I will add that the screen is a magnet for dust. After having mine for two years it gets increasingly bad... I can barely make out the screen. with any light coming in it's invisible, but in the dark or if you shade it with your hand, it is rather acceptable.
4. Not very pretty. It's smaller than the Zune and iPod but rather clunky, box-like structure.
Overall, please don't get this. It's outdated. I wouldn't suggest an iPod either since it is, from my experience, a gift suited for preteen girls and people who are not into music that much, if you know what I mean.
I am most likely getting the Zune next, after some research it seems the best. Not only is the screen beautiful and large, It isn't nearly as big and clunky as it looks (I've handled one, trust me). It also plays video in a more widescreen format unlike the medium size screen of the iPod. The siliconized rubber on the outer edge is a nice touch.
If you're into heavy (for it's size), buggy (undeniably, and may I add customer support for anything is HORRIBLE), brake-in-a-week-earphones (buy some skullcandy) type of MP3 player this is for you. It was great in the beginning, but the player wears out fast. Kind of sad.
Better All-Around Product Than iPod July 29, 2007
This is a great mp3 player. Not only is it extremely easy to use (yeah, that's right tobytoby, it's really easy to use), it has great audio quality. If you think it looks too thick you are wrong. It has a really good feel to it. If you are the type that everything has to be an incredible fashon statement go ahead and get your pretty little iPod. But if you care about quality, this mp3 player is the one to get. With features such as FM radio, recording, and much much more, the Zen Sleek Photo beats down the iPod like a sick dog. The price is great, it has a huge capacity, the brushed metal surface is very durable and does not scratch very easily, plus you are not just limited to iTunes but you have a wide selection of music services to choose from. Also the accessories are very cheap. I got a nice case for five bucks. I saw some iPod socks (you read right, socks) for the iPod for thirty dollars! The choice is yours... iPod or Zen.
