2. Creative Zen V Plus

Available in 2GB ($70) and 4GB ($90) capacities, this compact but aging player's 1.5-inch OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen displays photos with great clarity--indoors, at least. The V Plus also plays video and has an FM radio tuner. It supports PlaysForSure subscription content and the standard array of MP3, WMA, and Audible files. With a five-band equalizer for tweaking audio, the Zen V Plus sounded great in our audio tests, where it played various high-bit-rate MP3 files. Though the device includes Creative's Video Converter software, watching anything that runs longer than a minute on the 128-by-128-pixel screen seems silly.
