The Basics4
This is another great product from Creative. I've owned a lot of other MP3 players and the x-fi beats them hands down on features and price. The only feature that I am not impressed with is the x-fi feature itself which is "supposed" to be its staple feature. Unless you are like me and own a pair of Ultimate Ears (UE) headphones the average person will never notice. However, the addition of a SD card slot was genius this allows the use to view pictures, or add additional music storage for not much extra, I think an eight gig card cost between twenty and twenty five dollars. A lot has been said about the control features, I love them. Unless you have very thick fingers, arthritis, or you are mentally challenged they are very easy to learn and control.

Great5
If you are the type of person who looks for a lot fo bells and whistles in a gadget, then this is it. You have almist everything at you finger tips. You can keep all you audios, videos, or what ever you like. Your favorite pictures can with you anywhere along with your music. The sound also is great through the upgraded earphones. The wireless lan is also a plus. Creative really out done themselves with this unit. Looks complicated but easy to use.

A great mp3 player4
I first found this mp3 player at Creative's website for $199.99, so when I found it here for $164, I was pretty excited. It only took it 4 days to be shipped and arrive. I've been using it as much as possible and have had almost no issues with it. The only problem I've had with it has to do with it's "shuffle" function. It sometimes plays the same song twice back-to-back, but other than that minor problem, it's a big improvement over my last player. The headphones that come with it sound amazing and the internal speaker sounds great as well. This is a good buy.
