Re: Creative Labs Jukebox Zen

I had the original Creative JUkebox Zen 20gb a while ago. Must say it was a very nice piece of equipment, slightly bigger than the iPod but had the same storage capacity and connections etc, and was a darn sight cheaper.

Just make sure you use the carrying case if you put it in your pocket though, the anodized aluminium gets 7 levels of hell scratched out of it really easily...

a good buy though

I got the 40gb one about a month ago, a great buy, though as Dave says it is slightly bigger than the ipod.
Few things I would say :

One complaint I've had is with the software for the pc - it has a tendancy to crash on me, and then it won't recognise the juke box until after a reboot - it's not problem really - just one of those things that is annoying.

Using the case is an absolute must, as Dave says, the front looks like it scratches very easily - however I've found my case very tight, and I've been worried about causing damage with the amount of presure required to close it, though the leather will stretch over time.

A lack of a remote control is very frustraiting, especially when you consider that it's supposed to be a mobile player. sure you can queue up your songs - but often I change my mind about what I want to listen to as I go along, so having to get the player out, open the case, use the jog wheel and so on - then close the case - is all a bit of a hassle - and given that you are walking around with 200 to 300 quids worth of equipment in your pocket I don't always want to be getting it out so everyone can see (ooer!)

But all that aside, I'm very pleased with it, and wouldn't want to give it up.

HTH

Try Notmad. It does cost but not really that much.
