 Great for audiobooks!Jan 28, 2011
By Sue
I have an iphone and prior to that had ipod touch, etc, but nothing I've tried beats the Zen for audiobooks. The main reason is the sleep timer. It doesn't have to be reset each time it's used. So if I wake in middle of the night and can't sleep, I can turn it on knowing it won't go more than 30 minutes (adjustable setting) so I won't miss much and can easily find where I left off if I fall asleep before the timer expires. This is my third...lost the first one, gave the second to my dad when he was sick and had trouble sleeping at night. The sound quality doesn't compare to ipods, etc but for audiobooks it's the best.

No FM Radio with this versionMar 31, 2011
By B. Kilburn
Just a note to make it clear that there are (at least) two versions of the Zen MX. One I bought for my daughter last Christmas because I had owned the previous 2 gb version of the Zen (looks identical) and had been very happy with it. So she got hers and loves it. It plays music, video, stores photos and *has* an FM radio, just like the 2gb Zen I had. So when my 2gb Zen suddenly quit working (after at least 4 years of daily use) I figured I got my money's worth out of it and decided to buy a Zen MX just like the one I got for my daughter.
To cut this short, I was surprised to find out that what I had ordered was a Zen MX Se (or "Lite"). This version was the same price I paid for my daughter's, (or did at the time) looks identical to the regular Zen and is not obviously listed or marked as a different model than the regular Zen MX. This one does not have an FM radio. This seems to be the only difference. So if the FM is important to you, make sure you're NOT buying the Se (special edition) or "Lite" version. It's not easy to tell from the looks or from the way it's listed here.

 Against my better judgement .............Jun 29, 2011
By Lynda Rains Bonchack
"Relaine"
I had a ZenMX 16 GB I purchased 7/2009. I'm an audio book fan and that unit was the most recommended for the genre. It had the capability of bookmarking, but more importantly restarted exactly where it left off every time so I could listen to a book shut down and later pick up the story without loss. In truth I had read many negative reviews for that specific unit and yet decided to try it because of the functionality I wanted. I really didn't use it much at first just here and there because I listen the most in my car and used CD books.
However in January this year I loaded it with several very long books (30 hours+ each) to get me through an extended overseas trip. It performed exactly as I had hoped and I listend for hours upon hours without problem. At that point I would have given the Zen a TEN star rating.
When I got back I decided to try the unit in my car. Attached by cable to the cars audio system as an auxillary I listened every day for about 45 mins each way on my commute. At first it was great, but then more and more it would fail to "resume" and would take me back to the beginning of whatever I was listening to. Then after not too long a while it often dropped out while playing - battery still charged - but it quit. I blamed myself thinking it might have become too warm if left in the car all day - so I started taking it in every day. Final straw I shut down one morning as usual, saw some kind of wierd break up on the screen, and thereafter it refused to do anything. Full charge acknowledged, reset applied, would not turn on.
So we cut to the chase... I contacted Creative, was told too bad buy a new one. I DID.
The only ZEN unit available at this point is Zen MX SE (I chose 8GB)
No big deal features AKA radio, video etc, Don't need. All I want to do is hear my books.
I have had the unit 8 days.
I charged it. I tried to load books on it and everytime it connected to my Audible library it performed a disk scan and shut off.
I went through the motions of setting time/date - what a waste of effort! Disc Scan - all bets are off.
Finally - I have no idea how - I got it to accept downloads and put a few books "out there"
It plays, it sounds great - but it looses the place and restores me to the begining of the book 2 of 4 times when I shut down.
It "scans disk" every time it is connected to the computer, even if in Off mode and expected to charge.
Oh by the way - the claim that it has 30 hours per charge is bogus. Do the math in my story.
All the on-line chatter about Creative having gone down hill are, in my experience true.
My REAL issue is what is there to replace the functionality I need.
And ...Why aren't they (Creative) working to fix it???

LOVE IT!Mar 12, 2011
By Wendy
I listen to a lot of audiobooks and the Zen works well with downloading audiobooks from the library. I am on my 3rd Zen. I wore out my first one. I left my 2nd one on an airplane. So I hurried and bought my 3rd. I can also watch videos on my Zen! I love it and when I wear this one out, I'll buy another one!

 Must Use Creative proprietary software to create playlistsOct 02, 2011
By Jerred D
"[ JD ]"
I wish I knew the below before I purchased the ZEN MX. I have an old ZEN 4Gb and love it (except for the occasional lockups)
Must Update the Firmware to get the most of the bugs fixed. The most current version is 1.04.01 (Dec 2010)
Must Use Creative proprietary software (Creative Centrale) to create playlists.
DOES NOT WORK WITH Windows Media Player, WINAMP, MediaMonkey for playlists or any other user friendly media manager software that I have found so far.
