the Zen V Plus holds up to 2,000 songs, and the 1.5-inch OLED screen displays rich and vibrant photos, full-color menus, and album art at any viewing angle. Another great feature built right into the Zen V Plus is the tiny device's ability to support subscription services and pay-per-download music. Plus, you'll never sweat formats--the Zen V Plus plays the broadest selection of MP3 and WMA music. And browsing your music collection has never been easier with Creative's innovative interface that enables effective and intuitive navigation and track selection. The Plus has an extra feature that it's predecessor lacked: the ability to play short video clips. With the Zen V Plus you can watch short clips in transcoded video format and impress your friends with the latest tidbits from the web or a brief glimpse of a home video.
Another great feature is a Direct CD Recording function that allows you to record songs directly from a CD player or other audio source without using a PC as an intermediary. You no longer need to burn CDs to your PC then download to your MP3 player. Just connect an audio device directly to your Zen V Plus, and record your favorite CDs, records, beats and more, direct from the source. Meanwhile, automatic track detection separates each song for you--a handy feature when you're converting analog (records and cassette tapes) to digital. If organization is a high priority, the Zen V Plus's Personal Organizer will help you stay connected and in-sync with your Microsoft Outlook information. Just connect the Zen V Plus to your PC, sync your Outlook information, and you'll be ready to carry around your contacts, calendar, and to-do lists right in your pocket. Plus, the Zen V Plus uses a handy built-in microphone to double as a voice recorder, so you can capture notes, record lectures, and more.

Good player but backlight burned out within 3 weeks:
This is my second Zen Plus. The first one I used for over a year and still works. I bought a second with more memory but the backlight burned out within 3 weeks and it is nearly unusable.
Great, not too pricey entertainment:
The Creative Zen V Plus is a great little player for people who don't really care that much about options, that just want to listen to music. This is my second Creative product (Creative Zen Micro 5GB Digital Music Player - which broke after being dropped too many times) and although I did have problems with the Micro, this one hasn't disappointed me yet. Very lightweight, and the controls are pretty easy to use. I've been using it while doing renovations around the house, it's great! Carries easily... more info
Too expensive for a disposable MP3 player:
Purchased Sep 2007 Pro:
Compact, easy to always have with you Con:
Video only supports uncompressed AVI
5-way button is too fragile

I knew and trusted Creative Labs, having used their sound cards for many many years, and thought that $90 (on... more info
Good little MP3:
I bought this as my first MP3 player. I did the research and wanted one good for audiobooks. I'm not sure exactly how the bookmark works, but when I'm listening and turn it off, it saves where I was. I turn it back on and I'm at the same spot. I like that. Cons: it won't upload information. So, you can download to it, but you can't manage the info or change it through your computer. You can only add and delete. Say you have a list of songs and want to move one up higher in the list, you can't connect... more info
