Creative Zen Mozaic (4GB, black)

Pros: Fantastic sound quality, even through the included earbuds. Bright, attractive screen with very customizable menus. And it looks pretty cool too.

Cons: The included software isn't very intuitive, and you do have to wander through a few menus on the device to get a feel for its interface. Also, there's very little included documentation - you have to download it.

Summary: Overall I'm very happy with this player. For the price, you get a whole lot of value. The sound is excellent, and there's even an on-board EQ. Too bad about the software, but it's only really needed if you want to encode video, which I don't intend to bother with - somehow, a movie loses something on a 2-in screen, you know?

In general, this is a sweet little device, especially for this price. Good buy all around.
