Creative is always keen to stress why its MP3 players are better than those of its rivals, so its no surprise then that it has emphasized that the Zen V Plus is scratch resistant, after the damaged screen scandal that greeted the launch of the Ipod Nano.
Like the Nano, it is a flash-memory player, and comes in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB sizes, to store up to 1,000 tracks (creative gives higher figures than this, but it means losing audio quality).
Beyond that, its very different from its Apple equivalent – you can plug it into a Hi-Fi and record to it directly without the need for a PC, it has both an FM radio and a microphone built in.
We think it is a fine mid level MP3 player, its just a shame the Zen V Plus is not Mac-compatible, but with prices starting from £65 we can forgive it that.Filed under: MP3 and Digital Media Players
