Creative Zen V Plus 2 GB Green Flash Portable Media Player

Great Little MP3 Player

Strengths: Compact, Has FM Tuner, Can record music from external sources w/o a PC using line-in, Non-proprietary USB charging cord included, Excellent storage capacity for the money, Long battery life.

Weakness: Does not include A/C charging cord, Not as many accessories readily available as some other brands of MP3 Players, Takes up to 6 hours to charge fully via the included USB charging cable.

I bought the Creative Zen V Plus 2GB MP3 Player for my husband for Christmas after doing a lot of online research. I liked the fact that it was reasonably priced and had the FM tuner and line-in feature. My husband absolutely loves it! He has uploaded about 300 high bit-rate tracks and still has room to spare even with the preloaded images and videos still on it. It is great that this MP3 Player...

Awesome Mp3 Player

Strengths: Small, lightweight, sturdy, easy to use menu screens, bookmarking (great for longer audiobooks) very long battery life (15+ hrs), clear sound quality, plays about everything you could desire.

Weakness: No included arm band like other Zen models & sold as an accessory for ~ $20. There is no resume capability so have to bookmark long videos or audiofiles so you dont have to scan. No UMS capability.

All in all, this is a great MP3 player, it is very easy to use and seems very sturdy and its size makes it an easy travel companion. I have used it for some long trips and was really impressed with the battery life and the amount of music/audiobooks I could upload onto it. I am a big fan of the audiobooks and was pleased to find the bookmarking capability available so I could return to wherever I...

Zen V Plus 2 CB MP3 Player - Black/Green

Strengths: This MP3 player is awesome! It stores all my pictures, music, and videos.

Weakness: None yet, I bought it recently.

I recently bought this MP3 player and I absolutely love it. It is small enough to carry with me wherever I go but versatile enough to perform all the functions I need. The wheel makes it easy to navigate and find my files, pictures, music, and videos. No need for CDs anymore - all my music is in one place! I would definitely recommend this sleek, cool-looking MP3 player!

Very nice media player

Strengths: Tiny signature and good sound quality.

Weakness: A little too small to fit a guy's hand, and the sound quality of the earphones is not good enough.

Bought this player as a Christmas gift and hence got some chances to try it. This player is very small compared to other players I have used, and is hence a perfect gift for a girl. The operation of this player is very easy which almost makes the manual useless. The bad thing about it is the lack of a wall outlet charger, which may lead to some inconvenience if a computer is not on hand.

My daughter like it.

Strengths: Good sound. Small size.

Weakness: Battery not changable.

I need a mp3 player on Napster's compatible list. We compared with other brand. We want flash memory type which is shake resistant. We keep it in sync with pc, so 2GB memory can hold about 300 sound, big enough. This one have mp3, video, FM radio, direct line in recording. Rich functionality for the price.

Creative ZEN V Plus MP3 Player

Strengths: FM and Inline recording, etc

Weakness: Major weakness is the battery and it cannot be replaced easily. The A/C charging option does not exist.

I will not recommend to buy such an option. Carefully, analyze the options such as battery replacement, A/C charging cord, Screen saving options, etc. Moreover, the plastic feels too fragile. In fact, I tried to open the player since the battery life is over in a year, and was surprised to see the quality of plastic is too bad.

Another Creative mp3 player

Strengths: Small, easy to operate, has calendar & organizer

Weakness: Built in battery, weak battery life, locks up and freezes.

This is not my first mp3 player from Creative so I think I've seen the best and the worst of both worlds. This player is the first Creative mp3 which is disappointing. The battery life is not anywhere near their advertised 15 hours of play time. If you play only mp3 without video, it only last maybe 8 hours, so it definitely disappointing to see that Creative it's slipping way down on quality and...

basically satisfied

Strengths: easy to operate,good sound quality

Weakness: too small,weak recording quality

compared to my previcous mp3, this one has good sound quality but weak recording quality. The surface is plastic, making it not as fancy as it looks in the picture. it's easy to operate, and it has several system languages, which means much to me. the strange thing is my PC can not recgonize it through the USB, while it works out on other computers. I'm trying to fix this problem.

ZEN V Plus 2GB MP3 Player - Black/Green

Strengths: Easy to work, fairly good sound

Weakness: Impossible to see this player when you're in the sunlight. Player freezes up often. Battery charge does not last very long.

Received this as a Christmas gift. Like it, overall. Biggest disadvantage is trying to see the screen when out in direct sunlight. That is a real disadvantage, especially when you compare it to an IPOD. Player freezes very often and has to be reset. Battery needs to constantly recharge. I need to recharge every 4 - 5 hours.

Great Player

Strengths: Great Screen, easy to use interface, actual volume buttons, easy to use, very small and light, Stellar sound quality

Weakness: Feels a bit cheap, hard for people with small hands to use, freezes periodically, but not a problem thanks to a reset button

I have had this player for over a year now and still works extremely well. I love the sound quality on this, better than any other mp3 player i have used. It is also great to have such a small and light player that i can put in my pocket and forget about. It is very easy to use but it may be hard to us the joystick control with gloves or big hands. Great player overall and i would definitely...
