Customer Review: Cute but not so great
I got this for birthday a couple of months ago. It was fairly new out at the time and my first reaction was “its tiny and so cute” I got it charged up and started playing. My previous MP3 had been a Zen nano + and I loved it, it was simple, and survived being flooded…when I got to the menu of the stone, I found it was no where near as simple, things didn’t seem to be in the right place. Then my clock was unreliable when it was synced with my computer. As another part of my present I was given skins..I was expecting bright cool colours..instead got red, dark blue and yellow, not so nice, but Creative give you no chice in colours. When I started college I found myself using it a lot, and the battery dying suprisingly quickly…2-3 hours. After reading some reviews I found this was common. I am frankly disappionted as all other Creative products seem to be reiable and prefered in my house. I’d say look at the V Plus which seems to be working far better
Customer Review: Creative Zen Plus 2Gb
Purchased this MP3 player for my holiday as it ticked all the right boxes, small, cheap, decent size memory, has a built in FM radio etc. I still haven’t quite managed to fill the memory up, and i thought i would quite easily. Sound quality is great, menu is easy to use and responsive enough for me. My only annoyance with this player is that you cant skip through an album, you can only skip tracks. Also, i assumed that the player would come with some form of charger……no. You can only charge it through a USB port on a computer, however i purchased a USB plug charger for ?3 off EBay. So far im very happy with this product for the price i paid for it and would recommend it to anyone.

Customer Review: Was i just unlucky?
Bought one, spent ages uploading all the songs, then it stopped working within a couple of months. Unable to repair so given a replacement, that has also died, again after only a couple of months. So from my point of view, a nice idea and it looks great, but ultimately a total waste of money.
Customer Review: Very disappointing
I bought this to replace my iPod Shuffle but now I wish I hadn’t. I bought so I could store more songs and that is the only good thing about the iPod nano 4GB - it stores more songs that the Shuffle. The bad aspects of the iPod nano 4GB are-: battery life (absolutely shocking - had to charge it almost every day, even if I’d only used it for 2 or 3 hours), the freezing screen, lousy volume control and the fact it broke completely less than 1 month after I bought it. I wish I hadn’t wasted ?130 on it as it isn’t even worth ?1. I loved my iPod shuffle and expected this to be of similar quality - how wrong I was. I just hope that any iPod I buy in the future is of a decent quality.

Customer Review: Nice piece of kit
I bought this before Xmas to transfer my young daughters tapes and CDs onto. It performs well and has reasonable battery life. Plus points: Uses standard batteries and SD memory cards (I use a 2Gb card which is plenty of storage) Easy to load music Rugged design Nice headphones supplied (Koss) Minus points: A little slow to start up when using memory cards Navigation a little hard to master for younger children On the whole i recommend the unit and at the price it is good value for money.

Customer Review: The perfect first MP3 Player
After much humming and haring I decided to take the plunge and bought this player to dip my toe in the water. I only need it for the gym and after seven 1+ hour gym sessions the single AAA battery is still working fine. Whilst not as pleasing on the eye as an iPod it does the job. I had to replace the headphones with a better set I already had and that is the only reason I do not give this a 5 star rating. Having never heard music through a more expensive player I can not comment on the quality of the music but I have no complaints.
Customer Review: Extremely low volume level
It could be great if the sound volume wasn’t so extremely low. If you listen to the music on the bus you can only hear the engine sound. Completely useless even for the bargain price.

Customer Review: excellent machine provided all you want is music
At the time of writing this review there are 68 others already on here, but I thought I would tell you of my own experience with the ipod shuffle.

I go the gym and used to have a MP3 player - just a basic “memory stick” type that I plugged into my computer to recharge and I could drag & drop songs onto. Unfortunately it died so it was time to look for a new one. Now I was undecided whether to buy a basic model by a less well known company, or go for a leading name. It seems to me that if you’re prepared to go for a relatively unknown manufacturer you can get a basic mp3 player for half the price with twice the memory, but eventually after much deliberation I plumped for the apple ipod shuffle, swayed by a combination of the reputation of apple & (hopefully) a better build quality.

I have had it just over a week now and I think I have made the right decision.

Yes, there is no screen, but I knew that when I bought it. I know from my prior experience at the gym that I just tend to switch it on and let it play so I didn’t really need one. Also, I have a mobile phone that takes pictures, plays videos, games etc and I hardly use any of those features so I figured I wouldn’t need a screen to watch tiny videos on. The earphones are great - several reviwers say they fall out but I’ve used mine on the treadmill, rower, cross trainer, exercise bike and wave machine and they’ve stayed in throughout! I’ve got about 14 hours out of it before I had to recharge which is impressive, and although initially I missed the simplicity of the “drag & drop” method of my old mp3 player, its just a question of getting used to itunes and once you have it seems simple enough.

All in all, an excellent purchase and having never had any previous experience of apple or ipods I am very pleased with my purchase.

Why Buy A New Ipod Shuffle When You Can Get It FREE!!!!!, 15 Sep 2007

Yes we all know iPod are the best for MP3 players, they’re stylish, portable and user friendly..

But Apple can’t make REAL portable video players.. Archos have had a touch screen portable video player out for a few months, with a hard drive TEN TIMES bigger than this..

So final verdict, I would not pay for this, but if you could get it free then go for it, go to www.shufflegift.notlong.com to get your free ipod Shuffle!
