Rating: - great product
I have had this player for a little over a month now, and am still learning about it. I really enjoy everything this MP3 player has to offer.
I am giving it only 4 out of 5 stars only because I am not entirely impressed with the radio reception. If you're in a gym, I am certain it works well, but it you want to use it as a walkman and listen to the radio outdoors, you might not get stations as well-unless you live in a large metro area.
Otherwise- terrific! Long battery life, great graphics, and easy to use.

I love my Zen. The program works well for downloads of music and video. I can put anything I need to on my Zen. The Calender organizer software is easy to use and is great for posting things I need to remember. Only thing that I am not crazy about is the USB connection cable could be longer.

This product is great... when the screen works. I had it for like 2 weeks before the screen started turning all white. It is apparently a problem with the newest operating system.
Rating: - Good, but maybe don't update the firmware
I have owned a Creative ZEN Micro for a few years, but it was getting full and the earphone jack was no longer functional. I wanted to stick with Creative because I have always found their products to be pretty sound and went with this item.
When I received it, I figured I'd check for software/firmware updates. Since I hadn't done anything with it yet, I decided to update the firmware. Probably a bad idea (caveat: since I never used it before the update, I don't know if this caused my problem). Now it freezes constantly to the point that I carry a paper clip with it just so I can reset it. Oddly, the freezing only happens when using earphones. When plugged into my PC with the USB cable, I never have an issue. I bought this thing back in Feb.
I am either sending it back to Amazon or doing an RMA with Creative for this (not sure which). I ordered a new one from Amazon as well and I may just leave the bad one at work where I often use it just via USB cable connected to my PC.
I like the unit alot, so I am willing to give a new one a try, without doing any updates. I bought one for my wife and she has no problems at all, and she never did any updates (and now is afraid to because of my issues).
I also don't like how it imports CD's - for example mix CD's I have burned at home. It seems to sort these by artist, but I prefer by album. I have actually found a way to work around this, though a bit cumbersome.
Anyway, It's a pretty solid unit from a company who makes pretty decent products. If my new one doesn't work, I'll find a another brand.
