The Creative Zen is a lightweight, glossy multimedia player with an attractive finish. It has loads of playback options, and you can expand capacity with SD or SDHC cards. Your music will be in good hands, too, as the Zen produces clean and powerful sound
Review Verdict: The Creative Zen looks great, sounds great and produces great video. It's a full-featured player with plenty of options for customisation. Although the SD card slot is a huge bonus, its contents are not included in the player's main menu, limiting its use
