"The sound quality is amazing. It really is. The feeling of bass in my ears is just wonderful. I was simply on a high when I heard how good it was. But the fun stopped there, as I then added 11GB worth of music onto the device.
This is the first time I have spent "big money" on an MP3 player. I was constantly deleting tracks on my 8GB to make way for new ones, so I wanted a 16GB. This is, however, a problematic amount of space for this MP3 player as it takes ages to scroll through your music to get what you want. That's if the touch "screen" wants to acknowledge that you're touching it, which 70% of the time, it doesn't. There is no 'find' feature, and good luck making a playlist!
I battled to make a playlist using common sense techniques, none of which worked. So I bit the bullet and decided to read the instructions (I never have to do this usually), which I eventually found online. Wow. The hassle you have to go through to make a playlist is unbelievable. I still haven't succeeded. You have to enter every folder one by one to get the song you want to add and drag it to your music player (under certain conditions). That's fiddly in itself. Once done, it then wants you to convert the files to M3U format - it tells you how to do this with your current music player, but the instuctions did not fit my music player (WMP), so I couldn't do it. I can't describe how much this ruins everything for me as I have 3 hour drive to and from work everyday, so if I feel like listening to something else on my player whilst I'm driving, it's down right dangerous to do so as a) takes ages to scroll down to a different artist or album b) the screen hardly ever responds to what you want to do and c) everything takes so long to load. I'd have to pick it up and look at it for a long time whilst I am driving. That is no good.
But enough of the playlist. I imagine that's an unimportant feature for most. But even so, navigation as a whole is a complete failure. I have got so angry with it after a mere 10 minutes. What's the point holding 14GB (because it doesn't really have 16GB of free space) worth of music, if users can't navigate their way through so many tracks? I imagine this MP3 player could be okay if you have 50-100 songs on it (though still frustrating as the touch screen barely works) but 2000+ songs? Please, please don't waste your money. I can't believe how much this junk costs. Not worth the money at all. My battery is dead after two days usage, so that's seven hours.
I've given this some stars for the sound quality (and the earphones they come with are pretty awesome), but there is nothing else to recommend it."

"I've had 2 Creative MP3 players. The first I bought in America and managed to blow up using a UK charger. The 2nd just got full. So I bought this one plus a 32GB memory card to fit my entire CD collection into something the size of a matchbox.Sound quality is excellent, it starts up slowly due to having so much data on the card. The controls are OK, touch sensitive but you get used to them quickly. It also has other features such as audio books which I've not really played with yet. My other Creative MP3s had complicated set up screens with CD rip options, this is literally copy and paste which I am happy with."
