My daughter received an RCA MP3 thumb drive as a gift and it glitched within the first week. She returned it to Wallyworld and upgraded to the Creative Zen V Plus 2gb for a total under $90.00...update, I recently was able to find a refurbished 4gb model on ebay for under $40.00. Yes, under $40! Always remember to watch and price check! I now want to buy another Creative model for me and it is CHEAPER directly from Creative website than what people are asking for them on ebay. Never buy without doing your OWN internet search for price changes!
There was nothing else to buy, and we had no trouble hooking it up to the computer. It can be plugged right into the computer for recharging, has an FM tuner radio, audio player, voice recorder, audio recorder, photo viewer, video player, and calendar, and supported memory.
It does not feel cheap and easily fits into the pocket. The Zen measures about 1 1/2in x 2in long. Screen Size is apx 1.5in. The screen is easy to read as well.
I know it works with these music providers: Napster To Go, Yahoo! Music Unlimited, Rhapsody and more. The sound quality is amazing.
Creative Labs also has a download feature on their website. If you have a software glitch you can plug in your player and download all new software into the unit.
For the price and comparability to other units, this is a great choice.
This model also has 4.5 out of 5 stars on yahoo ratings as well.
I felt so secure in the quality I recently bought another for my Autistic son.
The only downside is that it will not take a memory card to upgrade space. The RCA did. But, if you plan accordingly and buy the right size, this is not an issue. 2gb still holds plenty of media.
