 A decent all-around playerFeb 01, 2009
By Dale Broadbent
"dalewb2"
It comes packaged inside a thick-plastic sealed blister package. Once that is removed, the primary packaging is revealed - a HARD plastic (about 1mm thick) sealed, clear clam-shell with the X-Fi suspended inside on a transparent plastic platform. It looks really cool... until you try to open the thing. Seriously, people - be careful. You can injure yourself very seriously using the amount of force necessary to penetrate this anti-theft packaging on steroids.
Enough about the packaging.
The player itself is an attractive, slim, glossy black device with a large screen that can do all sorts of things. You can read the specs above I'm sure so I won't get into all the details, but let's just say that it does about 75% of its functions very well. The other functions you'll probably never want to use.
The things it does well: Music, movies, pictures, storage, microphone.
The things it does terribly: Everything else (instant messaging, etc). I have not tried the wi-fi capabilities.
One thing Creative has continued to do well is their support for audible books and other audible media. If you subscribe to Audible, this is a fantastic player for those types of media.
The user interface appears nice, but the awful multi-button interface is the worst-implemented button interface I have ever witnessed. I'm used to it now, but all 12-or-so buttons are identical, feel identical - you can't just grab it and begin pressing buttons - you gotta pay attention to which ones you intend to press - otherwise you risk losing your place in what you're listening to.
Battery life is quite good - I used it on a cross-country plane trip to listen to audio books for a few hours and then played 2 or 3 45-minute videos while on the plane before the battery meter red-lined.
The unit does lock up - I keep a small paperclip in my car for that very purpose. It happens maybe once a week or less and always occurs during start up or shut down. Again, I've just gotten used to it and adpated. It's not too terrible - electronic devices aren't perfect - when was the last time your PC crashed, eh?

 Good playerAug 11, 2009
By VALMIR SENA
I enjoy this player very much. Play divx e xvid videos in your resolution, but don't make upscaling. Good mp3 player.
I do the firmware update, and since then the player don't crash anymore.

 Zen x-fiMay 01, 2010
By Ray
I enjoy using my new Zen because it is easy to use and can play videos also. I am a heart transplant patient and I use it when I go for my biospies. The only thing that I wish it had would be a wrist strap to make it easy to carry.
Creative Quality AgainApr 26, 2010
By mike victorine
I found this Creative MP3 Player to again show quality and value.
The only thing I could find fault with are the small buttons to control the player
