worth it...not for the radio though.. this is a really good little player,worth the money.it does look very sleek and holds alot of media on it and up to another 4 gb can be added on memory card. only problems i found were that (and maybe it could also be my computer!) that converting long video clips made my computer overheat a few times as it took quite a long time and the radio to be honest does seem a bit rubbish...but then i did not buy it for that. can only really get one local programme on it.

Creative ZEN 16GB i own a Creative ZEN 16Gb and i think that its a great item its easy to use, has great sound and the screen is good quality for what it can do
one thing i think they could change is putting lights on the button so you can see them plus having more formates for video's but other than that its a great item.
Absolutely brilliant This mp3/video player is amazing. This is the first Creative product I have owned so I was a bit skeptical but it is so easy to use. It is a perfect size to fit in your hand and light but substantial enough so that it does not feel fragile. A simple and elegant design, in my opinion much better looking than any Ipod.

Easy to use interface.
Great display.

Died in less than a fortnight Looks beautiful and when it was working then I was very happy with it. But then for no apparent reason it simply stopped. Nothing that I did would persuade it to turn on and so it has had to be returned and I will get a refund. Other creative players have been fine for me (and indeed my brother has the 4gb version which he hasn't had any problems with) but very disappointed with this especially when I see that so many other people seem to have had the same problem.
