Creative Zen Sleek - Impressive mp3 Player

i have been using Zen Sleek for the past few months and i am completely satisfied with its performance until now. when you are buying a product from Creative, you can be rest assured of one thing - the audio quality. i am a bit picky when it comes to the quality of the audio, and the decision to go with a Creative mp3 player instead of an ipod was because of this very reason. i must say that i am very happy with my decision. casual listeners may not find a big difference between the two, but passionate music lovers should easily be able to feel a significant difference. ipod is a few notches below creative when it comes to audio quality.

Zen Sleek is one of the new models from creative which is very small in size and is also lighweight. it has a storage of 20GB and it gives a battery lifetime of more than 10hrs. the transfer of media is extremely fast using the USB 2.0 interface. the quality of headphones is above satisfactory. the interface is easy to use, including the touchpad, which works best for me when i set its sensitivity to a minimum level. the two added features are the microphone and the FM Radio. the only thing that i miss in the player is a search feature!! the player comes bundled with useful software which makes it easy to copy music and create/manage playlists. either the propriety tool or the windows media player 10 can be used to manage the music. one major complain about this player has been the accumulation of dust inside the screen surface. i have to wait and see for that. a part of disk space available on the player can be used to store general data. if you can afford to go for a non-ipod mp3 player, then Zen Sleek should be a very good choice. read more reviews at:
