20GB Creative Technology ZEN SLEEK

Pros: Fabulous sound, great design, long battery life, multiple format support

Cons: Cruddy case, lack of accessories, earbuds

The Bottom Line: One of the best MP3 players on the market.

Review: The big question that everyone asks when shopping for MP3 players is "Is it as good as an iPod?". Since I wasn't about to buy an iPod, this comparison is moot. After lengthy research, I settled on the Creative Labs Zen Sleek 20 GB MP3 ...

The Bottom Line: Despite a few quirks this is a great choice for an mp3 player. I would highly recommend it.

Review: Software: I have not been able to use the software bundled with the player because I have Windows ME. The Creative website says that the software works with Windows ME but it sadly does not. This caused me extreme troubles. If you have Windows ...

Pros: 20 gb hard drive for under 200 (rebate). Excellent screen. Sound. All metal. Size.

Cons: Non replaceable battery, silly computer hook up.

The Bottom Line: Better than my daughter's nano for about the same price

Review: I had a creative zen micro photo for about two months. Unfortunately, I got it wet and had to purchase another mp3. I decided to give the sleek a try because it was the same price as the microphoto but had a larger hard drive. This turned out to be a ...

Cons: More complex, longer learning curve, included headphones

The Bottom Line: Buy it, embrace it, enjoy it, but be willing to put in a little up front effort

Review: My daughter was the last person in the family without an MP3 Player. Since she used her CD Player a lot and I usually had to go find her in order to get my iPod back, I got her a Zen Sleek as a prize for doing really well in school. I had purchased a ...

Pros: The creative is much better than the equivalent iPod

Cons: There isn't many cons, apart from the time where it overheated when flicking through songs.

Review: The creative is much better than the equivalent iPod, and there is a big difference. The creative is much better. However I have to confess the iPod has never gone wrong, where as at one point the Zen froze and I had to let it run out of its power source ...

Pros: - 20GB storage - FM tuner - stylish case

Cons: - Interface of accompanying software is a bit clunky, but completely workable

Review: For the price, this is an excellent deal. If you don't need or want photo capability, but want a large-capacity MP3 player, this is an excellent choice. With the wrap-around aluminum case, styling is much nicer than some other Creative offerings. ...

Pros: 20 gigs really good, price, quality.

Cons: I don't think the touch pad is durable enough.

Review: I think it's a good product. It took a little getting used too as far as the touch pad. Sounds great, I have about 900 songs and only used about 4 ...

Pros: Excellent sound quality, fast file transfers via USB 2.0, 20GB storage capacity, better-than-average battery life

Cons: Hard to use touch pad control, limited availability of accessories.

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is that Creative seems to be emerging as perhaps the strongest competitor to the mighty Fruit MP3 player brand.

Review: I recently decided that it was time to take the plunge and purchase a MP3 player. Since my birthday is fast approaching, I was able to coax my girlfriend into buying this for me, along with a Johnny Cash The Legend box set. I think I'm going to ...

Pros: Sound Quality, Blue Backlight, Syncing with Microsoft Outlook

Cons: Battery Life, Dust Gets Under the Screen, Supplied Headphones

The Bottom Line: The player itself is fantastic. Buy a case to go with it and a few pda screen protectors and it's definitely a competitor with the Ipod.

Review: I bought my Zen Sleek directly after it came out onto the market, because I'm a very loyal Creative customer. I've tried and own a slew of their products that I've accumulated over the years. Overall I would give the Zen Sleek an 7/10. Design 6/10: ...
