  • only supports mp3, stopped working too soon, video transcoding required, broke within 2 weeks, about half the time

Decked out in an all-black suit, the Creative ZEN is smaller than your average credit card and sits snugly right in your palm. With an attractive 11.3mm thickness, this sleek MP3 player weighs a mere 65g, allowing you to carry it around easily.
