iPea, GoGear MP3 player is easier to use than the Apple iPod!

Pros Price, 4Gb capacity, no need for supplied software on most computers

Cons Slow transfter speed

Monday I decided it was time to get a new portable MP3 player. My choice, after looking at several in a local store, was the Philips GoGear Vibe 4Gb. My older Sony D-NF340 Personal CD Player was a great device that lasted for many years but the lack of a configurable equalizer and only... Read full review »

I purchased this mp3 player to listen to inspirational music during my weekly prayer hour at church. The sound quality is good and it is very easy to sync your music to it. I use Windows Media Player instead of the program it came with (Rhapsody, I believe). It is difficult... Read full review »

Pros Lightweight, ease of use, portablility, extreme durability.

Cons Lack of modern day technology.

Recommended it? No

This ZEN is pretty much indestructable. You can throw it on hard floor, toss it around and around, and even drop it a billion times, and it will still work! The trouble is, for $120, it is a tad bit expensive. For $80 more, can purchase an iPod Touch.

In my 3 years of having owned... Read full review »

Great Product. The creative zen is very easy to use. The SD card expansion bay is a great value, and you can store extra music, videos, and lots of other stuff on it. Only problem is that the SD card info is not integrated in the main library. I would wish, however, that... Read full review »
