zen micro black

(4 out of 5) by m tennant on Mar 6, 2006 (united kingdom)
The creative zen micro 6gb black has a decent storage capacity of around 3000 songs it has a decent battery life of around 12 hours but sadly there are better battery lifes around. The unit is very easy to navigate with a vertical touch pad. It has an fm radio built in with which you can program up to 32 preset stations. Unfortunatly if you are buying this over others just for the fm radio don't creative fm radios are flawed and give barely audible sound. On the upside however the unit comes with a built in voice recorder, a personal organiser and of course a random shuffle play to listen back your music. In the box you will get a creative zen micro, earphones, usb2 cable, installation software and a lithium ion battery but no charger or wired remote so charging only available through usb2 however charger available at extra cost a remote control is also available seperatly . I recommend this unit as on mp3 playback the unit sounds exceptional but i do have issues such as i feel the fm radio is flawed and the unit is just slightly to bulky to fit in your pocket comfartably and their are hidden costs with the missing accs. Regarding the battery life i reccomend that if you are going to buy the craetive zen micro, then i reccomend that you buy a spare battery so that you can raplace it on the go to double your battery life. If you can over look what are minor flaws in a good quality easy to use mp3 player then i reccomend this unit thouroughly.

Top of its class!!!

(5 out of 5) by Laura on Oct 6, 2005 (Ireland)
I am the proud owner of a creative zen micro(black) for 5 months and i love it! It has a brilliant memory and an fm tuner. I love it!
3 of my friends are getting one for Christmas because they've seen mine and love it so much. I also have the SBS Vivd 60 speakers(black) to match.

I really like the blow glow around the player and also there is a blue glow on the speakers which deliver brilliant quality sound.
The Fm tuner rocks and you can record your favourite songs from the radio onto your player or use the external microphone.
Also its battery is not built in so you dont have to send the player back to the manufacturer if the battery needs to be replaced like you do with the ipod.

I only have one complaint about the player, well its actually about the earphones you get with it. They look cool and all but they are really big and hurt my ears after about an hour.

Other than that i would recommend the Creative Zen Micro to anybody interested in buying an mp3player.
