 great upgrade from my 1st gen Nano July 9, 2008
The Zen is a terrific upgrade from my 1st generation Nano. Music was easy to transfer from my iTunes library. (My music is mostly from my own CDs, but if you purchased most of your library from iTunes, this may be an problem for you due to DRM.) With 16GB, there was more than enough room for everything I have. The software is easy to use and functional, and WMP works fine for managing files. Video and sound quality on the Zen are excellent (better headphones should be your first accessory, which is true of every player on the market) and all features work as expected. Using the menus, while not as elegant as on the iPod, is simple enough. The SD slot (uses a separate option on the menu, which takes no time at all to get used to) means you're limited only by the number of cards you want to take along. Great for a long flight, and every SD card I have, regardless of size or speed, has worked fine for audio and video in this player. There are plenty of aftermarket accessories available, and the standard USB connection means I can charge it with my cell phone (Moto RAZR) chargers, which eliminates extra devices from my suitcase.
Best I Ever Had July 8, 2008
I have had this player for six months.
Pros:
1. Capacity. 16gb internal, plus a card.
2. Sound is good.
3. Watching movies is awesome. Watching the old movies with the square format is great because they fill up the screen.
Cons:
1. Freezing up occasionally. But never had a unit that didn't also have the same issue. It seems some people's Zen have more of a problem so I suppose it is luck of the draw.
2. Software. I have never liked or took the trouble to use the Windows Media Player to sync. Most of my MP3s are not tagged so they go everywhere when you try to sync. You can drag folders into the player from the computer but you can't access them. You can create a play list but I would prefer using the folders. Another thing is when you bookmark a track it won't play the next track in the play list when you go back to it.
3. Havn't tried a firmware update as many had had problems and none of my issues have been addressed. Would be great if the Rockbox software would be available.
ZEN 16 GB portable player AWESOME! July 6, 2008
This media player is absolutely awesome! Great little device that lets you play all sorts of music and movie files. It's great because you can move the files off of it as well as to it from your PC.
It's small and lite and very self explanatory to use. Great sound quality and the screen is clear. Beats the 8 GB iPod nano in performance to price ratio.
 Great product until- July 6, 2008
This was a great product for the 1st 3 days, it played great, its versatile in regards to various websites where you can download and upload music, stylish, compact, but after no drops, constant charging the product wouldn't come back on. When I would connect to my computer it kept saying that the product wasn't connected when it was. I got a replacement from Amazon and the second replacement did the exact same thing. Now mind you I have hardly anything on my computer so its not a virus or anything of that nature as I keep those programs up to date, and I haven't had this issue with my 2 PDA Smartphones via my laptop. I tried to use the websites restore program but without the connection to my USB that wasn't feasible nor did I feel like I had to keep unloading and loading the software on my computer. So for those that it worked, that's great but I'm going to have to use another brand.
Better than Ipods July 6, 2008
This player was amazingly simple to get started with. I was able to have all my music on it within a few hours of receiving it in the mail. If you're trying to decide between the Zen and an Ipod I would recommend the Zen. With plenty of memory and a decent sized screen, the Zen blows away the Ipod Nano in both value and ability. I recommend this product!
