Creative Couldn't Care Less Beware of Creative customer care. I recently contacted them with a problem with my MP3 player. Basically, although it worked fine and was fully loaded with my whole music and video collection, I couldn't add any further content to it. Customer care took me through a diagnostic process which ended with a instructions to completely reformat the machine, stripping it of its operating system. I e-mailed them to say I was nervous of doing this, but they insisted it was necessary and that if... more info
Rip Off Zen This is now the fourth one of these I have had and all 4 have sooner or later simply frozen on me. You can't even switch the damn thing off but it lapses into screen saver mode so the battery aint ever gonna run down it will just remain "shutting down" indefinately.

To end on a positive note though the sound quality was very good- but shop elsewhere.

You'd think that Creative would have worked out how to get a Zen to operate with A] their own software B] MS XP [only been around for 5-6 years, innit?] But no.

Should have known better Ever the optimist, I decided to buy this despite all the reviews about the product freezing.
