Free Music for Zen

The name Creative Zen has been around since the beginning of the MP3 player industry, and the new version is only more reliable and feature packed than the last one. It's so enjoyable to play free music for Zen.

The Creative Zen features Album Art, an FM tuner; voice recording functions, a customizable menu system, and the functionality of an external hard disk. It also comes loaded with an organizer app that syncs with Microsoft Outlook.

The device itself looks very similar to a digital camera, with the screen horizontal and a control touch pad on the right hand side. The button layout is very simple, just like its predecessors, having a play/pause and back button as well as a directional pad to ensure the best playing of free downloadable Zen music. The product itself is also very thin. The SD card reader is on the top of the player, and the headphone jack, USB port, and lock/power button are located on the right side. The case itself feels very sturdy and will stand up to average abuse.

Free Zen Music Downloads

The audio quality as usual with creative is very good with any free Zen music downloads. Most MP3 player reviews agree that the stock headphones aren't amazing, but they suffice. If you use higher-grade headphones however the sound gets much better, especially with the implementation of 8 different EQ settings.

The menu interface is very simple to understand, with most of the controls on the directional touchpad. The back button is used a lot in menu navigation, but it is conveniently located and easy to get used to. You can also customize the organization of your home menu to make your device function better for your personal needs.

The device performs very well, with no noticeable lag in any of the menu pages or while playing free music for Zen. The screen displays a very sharp picture for video playback and has very good color. The battery life is almost exactly what Creative specs it to be, roughly 30 hours of free Zen music and 5 hours of video.

The Creative Zen is like its predecessors a great MP3 player, and with the addition of video and expandable memory features for more Zen music downloads it can run alongside its competitors. One feature that lets it stand out from the rest however is the fact that it can be used as an external hard drive. Its great to be able to carry around one device, and have it act as more than one. Goodbye, USB keys.
