"Is great in every aspect cept mainly for 14 hr battery life"
Pros: Sleek as the name suggets,cheap for a nice 20 gb,good sound,voice recorder,fm radio,very durable,big screen,shorter and skinnier than ipod,good navigation for large lists,neat DJ feature, quick charge
Cons: only for windows XP, poor battery life at 14 hrs, dust tends to get behind screen, skips periodicly,
Summary: I really like this player a lot. The style is similar to the iPod, but people will take a second look at it. I got it for 250, rather cheap for this nice, feature packed player.
I dropped this player from about shoulder level onto hard tiles, and it remained great except a minor dent on the corner, which is to be expected.
The player only works on the Windows XP, so if you don't have that OP, you can't download music onto the player.
Dust tends to get behind the screen, obsuring visibility a bit. I use this for physical activity, and it skips about once every twenty mintues during the time I use it for activities.
Now, the micro is imfamous for the headphone jack, and this player has a similar headphone jack design. I have had this player for a good amount of time, and nothing has happened of that sort. I'm just crossing my fingers that it will never happen.Updated
On the Creative website, it says the sleek works for multiple systems. However, in the U.S. and on the U.S. creative site, it only works for XP.

For XP it works with Windows Media Player without need to install drivers or anything. But if you do not have XP you defenitely can use the player, you just need to install a driver from CD or creative site
