It is also one of the lightest players around that is able to boast a capacity of up to 4GB while supporting different popular media formats. What's more, you can add as much capacity as you want with its SD memory expansion slot.

5 of 5 Excellent Product! Monday, June 30, 2008
Carla from Houston, Texas  

The ZEN is a fantastic product. It is very easy to use. The ZEN is a must have if you do not wish to spend hundreds of dollars on a video Ipod. A+

5 of 5 Love it! Monday, June 30, 2008
A Customer from Dallas, TX  
Bought this as a Father's Day gift for my husband. He loves new gadgets, but is usually a little standoffish when it comes to the set up. That usually falls to me. But the Zen was very user friendly. It looks and sounds great. Hubby upgraded to noise cancelling headphones, but I thought the original buds were fine. I'm no expert though. It was an especially good bargain at the time. The 4GB at Buy.com was the same price as the 2GB at Walmart. And with the 30 day free trial with Napster, he's just about filled it up. He's ordering another 4GB SD. That ought to be all the music he ever needs, as he's into older cuts. Says it's the best gift ever.

5 of 5 good buy Wednesday, June 25, 2008
A Customer from red wing mn  
I had a personal player but it was difficult to see the menu on the small screen so I found the Zen 4mg and its so much easier to navigate. I doubt I will use the movie ability but the SD card memory expansion is nice and its easy to navigate with the menu screen too and long titles scroll, another nice feature. I'm not too sure about the recording ability yet, a short trial seemed to prove that it must be placed within a few inches of the source, maybe not good for recording a lecture.

1 of 5 won't power up, support nonexistent Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Dan from Saint paul  
technical problems refer to Creative's website which puts you in and endless cycle of clicking on potential problems with documents for solutions, none of which address not powering up or non recognition. Can't contact via email as the link on site only brings you right back to beginning of choices of type of problem. no phone, no address no means of communicating with this company that I could find after half an hour of my day.

1 of 5 wouldnt know how it works... Thursday, May 29, 2008
Loretta from Mass  
I would seriously be wary of purchasing from this site. I ordered this and it never showed up. I cant get in touch with anyone and nobody will call me back. They proceeded to tell me it was dropped off on my front porch(I live in an apartment building)then I should look in my bushes(that dont exist)and said that sorry we cant send you your product. sorry for the inconvenience. what ever happened to signing for a product that cost that much money?

5 of 5 Awesome little media player! Tuesday, May 13, 2008
RCM from Kalamazoo, MI  
I just purchased my Zen 4GB about a month ago and love it! The clarity of the screen is amazing and it is relatively easy to navigate. My daughter has an Ipod Nano (2nd Gen) and she's now jealous of me. Getting podcasts and other video transferred to the player certainly isn't a one click operation, but it's managable. The Zen Explorer software could use some more functionality built into it, but again it's managable. The forum on Creative's website has a lot of discussion and tips that help. I'm already wishing I had bought the 8GB version, but the nice thing with this player is that you can add memory via the SD card slot. Overall, I am very happy with my Zen purchase. Compared to what I paid for my daughter's Nano, which by the way has it's own little quirks, this Zen media player is a great value!

5 of 5 Fabulous Player Monday, May 12, 2008
Ernie from Bethlehem, PA  
A wonderful Player with a perfect system that is easy to use. I copy my picture into it and it is very clear on the screen. The only flaw is, if I am tough, that the battery cannnot last long enough when I used it with an FM transmitter in my car.

5 of 5 Better than Ipod Nano Thursday, May 01, 2008
A Customer from Bel Air, MD  
Excellent device! Screen display is awesome. Porting movies to the device takes a little work & practice. I would recommend the screen protector and leather case.

5 of 5 Amazing Little Thing Tuesday, April 29, 2008
A Customer from Brooklyn, NY  
I accidentally misplaced my 40GB Zen W so I missed it dearly. I decided to buy the 4GB as the 40GB was too big and bulky. The picture quality on this little thing was absolutely amazing. It's extremely lightweight and portable. Just slip it into your pocket and take it out anytime you want with no worries. It's easy to use and durable. It plays many movie formats, something you can't say about many other players. The only bad thing about it was the conversion and upload of movies onto this thing. Granted my PC isn't the newest one but the transfer was quite slow. My older Zen was much faster. Other than that I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend it. P.S. I found my older Zen so I gave this to my wife. She loves it. Can watch her shows anytime now.

3 of 5 A nice media player but definitely not the best. Sunday, April 27, 2008
A Customer from Overland Park, KS  
A good deal for the price paid. Excellent picture and good sound quality. I love watching my fav videos on the go. However didn't expect creative to ship such poor quality earphones and a very short usb connector, its just a couple of inches and the player is just an external drive when connected to the computer. You cant play anything while connected. The menu is very simple to navigate but could have been much better. There is no wrap so one has to repeat every step in the reverse order to come out of deep sub menus during navigation. The software supplied is simple but has very limited features to handle different data formats. When will creative comeup with a better key controls like scroll wheel ? The current key pad really sucks if you have to navigate along a very long list of albums.
