"Good value for the money if you don't care about playback order."
Pros: Inexpensive for what you get.
Cons: Sluggish response; playback software bugs, not Creative's usual quality
Summary: First I will lay out my biggest gripe. I listen to a lot of audio books so it is IMPERATIVE that tracks be played back IN ORDER. Creative's documentation states that the play order is alphabetical by file name. However, that is not true. I went and renamed 42 tracks manually 01 through 42. It starts with track 04 then plays in order through track 42, then goes to tracks 1, 2, and 3. I have been to the Creative forums and found others with similar complaints. Although it says it plays in alphabetical order on "Normal" playback mode, it does not work properly.
If you don't care about playback order or having playlists then this is a truly awesome value for the money. The sound quality is great and the AM/FM radio feature makes it great for picking up the short range FM audio on the TVs at the gym.
