This is my first mp3 player purchase. I had toyed around with an iPod at an electronics store and was almost sold on it. It was just so cool. But after thinking things over I decided it wasn't worth the price. So I started looking into the Zen. I was close to buying it when the Zen NX was announced, so I held out for it. I am sure glad I did! I was able to buy it for less than $300, but even for that it's an incredible deal. 30GB, incredible sound (according to professional reviewers it has the best sound of any mp3 player, including the iPod), well-designed navigation, and cool EAX features. Unlike some people, I didn't have any problem at all with the software it comes with. However, I had ripped all my software beforehand with other programs, so my ID3 tags and everything were all set. I only used Creative's program to upload them to my Zen. My only complaint with the player is the scroll wheel is a little hard to click. While the screen is small, it's sharp and easy to read and navigate. In short, this is the best bang for the buck. It's a good, convenient size, feels solid, comes with plenty of space for mp3s, sounds awesome, and is relatively stylish as well! Highly recommended for buyers unwilling to waste extra money on style (iPod).

this is a really good mp3 player, its really cheap and carries so much music. Here's a list of reasons why its so good:
1) It carries 30 GB of memory for such a cheap price.
2) It's program is so easy to use and install.
3) Look-wise, while not being cooler than the ipod, it still is pretty decent. Its got a cool green screen and the metal casing is nice.
4) The scroll buttons good, i dont see why anyone would complain about it since the ipod has the exact same thing really. Plus it speeds up if you hold it for a while.
5) I had the previous Nomad Jukebox Zen 20 GB and this is alot better; Its really durable and it doesn't break very easily. I dropped it a couple times already and its fine.
6) Its a bit bulky, but it fits fine in my pocket. I carry it around my school all the time and I dont even feel it weighing me down or being annoying. Ive tried the ipod out and even though its more sleek, it really doesnt matter that much.
7) Its got amazing battery power; 14 hours, I listen to it for about 4 hours a day so i only have to recharge it about twice every week. No big nuisance.
8) Anyone who would by an archos jukebox is an idiot since this is just as cheap and a lot cooler and sleeker.
9) Its got a cool leather carrying case, but you cant see the screen, which is good in some ways.
10) It vibrates every 10 minutes or so, which is cool and fun when its in your pocket...
11) Sometimes it freezes, thats the only con.
12) this is stupid but its a good conversation maker. Someone will be like "hey whats that?" to which you can explain and then theyll be like cool and youll be like yeah...
All in all its really good

I bought this because I am in the millitary and go overseas alot. I have over 300 CDs that I couldn't take with me. My friend showed me the iPod and I decided I needed one. Problem was I did not have a computer with firewire. Then I found this and decided to try it out. It has been great I have 3800 songs on it and its barely half-full. The software is very easy to use and organizes your music in folders such as artist, album, genre, song title. It also keeps your tracks in order they are from the cd. The best feature is the random which shuffles every song on the player and plays them back randomly. This has allowed me to rediscover songs I had forgotten about instead of listening to the same songs over and over. The only complaint I have is that you can't transfer songs to or from a computer with out first installing the software. I have had mine for 8 months and have only had it lock up twice. This is an easy fix just take out the battery and it resets and goes right back to the track you were listening to. Good product, Great price
