"The so -so player" It is a pretty good player. The only problems I had were that it isn't compatible with my computer. Also, after I downloaded the user manual, I wasn't able to open the file. Sorry to say, it I had to return it. I also didn't like that the control buttons were so sensitive that I was always accidentally pushing one of them and then having to go back and put it back the way it was. I would recommend it to anyone who has an updated or newer computer.

"Getting used to it, it works well enough for my needs." This is most certainly not the easiest player to deal with. When I have a little more time, I do intend to see if I can change some of the settings - but it's default is kind of annoying in some regards.
To explain, I bought this player for use with audiobooks only. I own a Cowon D2+ 8 GB MP3 Player (Black), with it's remarkably great sound and decided that I wanted to use it for music only. While the D2+ has a SDHC expansion slot, it doesn't work very well with a card in - at least not a micro SDHC in an adapter. While I don't need more than 3gb or so for audiobooks (I have a lot, but needn't change them that often), I do want at least 8gb for my music - I actually wanted to use about half of a 8gb card as well. So I decided that $30 dollars wasn't bad at all, for a devoted audiobook player. But keep in mind that audiobooks are the only thing I bought it for.
Pros -
1) The Mozaic has multiple book marking, handy because I listen to multiple books (I'm a student, don't watch tee vee and reading gets rough after a long day of studying)
2) It is just the right size - not small enough to lose, not too big and very light weight.
3) I run it for about two hours a day on average - it ran for roughly six hours before it went down a single bar on the battery indicator.
4) It was easy to find a cheaper after-market skin with strap for it.
Cons -
1) It is not very intuitive. The user interface is confusing and hard to navigate.
2) The volume could manage a little more sound, but for most books it hasn't been a problem.
3) The bookmarks are really irritating, because they take whatever track you are on out of the loop of teh rest of the book. This means that when you finish the track you had bookmarked, it doesn't just go on to the next.
4) The Creative case accessories cost nearly as much as the player.
5) If you don't shut the player down while it is playing, it won't just start up where you left off.
All in all, I am satisfied with my $30 MP3 player purchase. It is a pain in the ass in some ways, but you really can't easily beat $30. The next best priced MP3 player that I have used for audiobooks was the SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 8 GB MP3 Player (Black). The biggest problem with this player was the problem that the Sansa Fuze seems to have with audiobooks - when playing audiobooks, they will occasionally shut down for no apparent reason. The clip is also smaller in size, with less battery capacity. Given the choice, I would totally buy this again - the controls aren't as easy as the clip, but the constant shut down is a drag.

"zen" I can't open Creative CEntrale and do anything on my computer. I can't load to my laptop because there is no disc drive. I wish there was a speed to listen to books faster. I have two ZEN's I like the way the older model turns on (that's the one I just purchased)

"no overdrive support" I am very dissapointed that creative screwed up this player by not supporting DRM. I have used all my creative players for the overdrive console for audio books from the library. I cant' believe they took it out of this player - I could not tell it from the description. The overdrive console does not even see this player as a device .

"Great player for audiobooks" My Zen died last week. I don't use an MP3 player for music, rather I use it for audiobooks, both purchased and check out from Netlibrary. I decided I wanted to stay with Creative Zen because it is easy for me to use and it is compatible with the book systems I use(audible, [...], netlibrary, etc)
I was unsure if I would like this player as it is so much smaller than my old Zen and I wondered if a player this cheap would be worth it. I am happy to say this player fits all my needs, and at an incredibly reasonable price.
If you want an IPOD like device, this isn't for you
If you want all the bells and whistles, this isn't for you
If you want an easy to navigate mp3 player that will play music and audiobooks and you don't have alot of money to spend, then this player IS for you.
This would be a good choice for a child's first mp3 player, or for someone who just wants an easy to use, basic player.
