    Duration of ownership:10 Days

    Strengths: Small, lightweight, sturdy, easy to use menu screens, bookmarking (great for longer audiobooks) very long battery life (15+ hrs), clear sound quality, plays about everything you could desire.

    Weaknesses: No included arm band like other Zen models & sold as an accessory for ~ $20. There is no resume capability so have to bookmark long videos or audiofiles so you dont have to scan. No UMS capability.

    Overall Evaluation: All in all, this is a great MP3 player, it is very easy to use and seems very sturdy and its size makes it an easy travel companion. I have used it for some long trips and was really impressed with the battery life and the amount of music/audiobooks I could upload onto it. I am a big fan of the audiobooks and was pleased to find the bookmarking capability available so I could return to wherever I left off in case I had to turn the player off for some reason. The lack of an included arm band is a bit annoying since it has become a bit of a necessity if you are going out for a run, bike trip, or to the gym. The only heads up, if you are planning on using this to download files at work and do not have admin rights to your machine, the Zen V plus is not automatically recognized as a usb drive and will require an admin to install some software before you are able to transfer files. If this is not an issue, than no worries. Overall, this is a highly recommended player for anyone who is looking for superior functionality and does not want to shell out a ton of cash in the process.

    Strengths: This MP3 player is awesome! It stores all my pictures, music, and videos.

    Weaknesses: None yet, I bought it recently.

    Overall Evaluation: I recently bought this MP3 player and I absolutely love it. It is small enough to carry with me wherever I go but versatile enough to perform all the functions I need. The wheel makes it easy to navigate and find my files, pictures, music, and videos. No need for CDs anymore - all my music is in one place! I would definitely recommend this sleek, cool-looking MP3 player!

    Strengths: Good sound. Small size.

    Weaknesses: Battery not changable.

    Overall Evaluation: I need a mp3 player on Napster's compatible list. We compared with other brand. We want flash memory type which is shake resistant. We keep it in sync with pc, so 2GB memory can hold about 300 sound, big enough. This one have mp3, video, FM radio, direct line in recording. Rich functionality for the price.

    Strengths: Compact, Has FM Tuner, Can record music from external sources w/o a PC using line-in, Non-proprietary USB charging cord included, Excellent storage capacity for the money, Long battery life.

    Weaknesses: Does not include A/C charging cord, Not as many accessories readily available as some other brands of MP3 Players, Takes up to 6 hours to charge fully via the included USB charging cable.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought the Creative Zen V Plus 2GB MP3 Player for my husband for Christmas after doing a lot of online research. I liked the fact that it was reasonably priced and had the FM tuner and line-in feature. My husband absolutely loves it! He has uploaded about 300 high bit-rate tracks and still has room to spare even with the preloaded images and videos still on it. It is great that this MP3 Player also has the ability to view photos and videos, and the OLED screen resolution is stunning!

    Strengths: Tiny signature and good sound quality.

    Weaknesses: A little too small to fit a guy's hand, and the sound quality of the earphones is not good enough.

    Overall Evaluation: Bought this player as a Christmas gift and hence got some chances to try it. This player is very small compared to other players I have used, and is hence a perfect gift for a girl. The operation of this player is very easy which almost makes the manual useless. The bad thing about it is the lack of a wall outlet charger, which may lead to some inconvenience if a computer is not on hand.
