"Great Player !"
I'm not sure why someone wouldn't like this series of players. Great design, excellent appearance, and some neat features. FM Radio, voice recorder, alarm, extra storage via the SD slot...oh and it plays music very well. I have a lot of custom mixes, so loading the music to the player in the "Imported Files" section allows you to keep the file structure intact, and that is key. Otherwise, music is grouped by genre, band, etc. Have used the device while exercising and it never missed a beat. Pictures look great, although I could not get MPEG videos to show up. Still working on that one. A very good player for $80.

"If you're looking for sound quality only, this is not for you."
I bought this unit after reading dozens of reviews on MP3 players. My decision came down to this unit, the Sansa Fuze, the iPod Nano, The Zune HD, or the Sony X-Series Walkman. Price was not so much the determining factor as overall sound quality was. I was excited about the X-Fi ability the unit touts. Another reviewer said that it didn't make the music sound "better," just "different." I disagree. Enabling the X-Fi tech actually degraded the sound for me. I found it more enjoying to listen to with X-Fi off, and the custom EQ enables. Still, there never was a moment where I was "Wowed." As far as the other bells and whistles, they did not interest me. I only care about the MP3 player aspect. I wound up returning this unit and went with the Fuze. If that one doesn't work out I'm getting the Zune.

Overall...I may have had a bad unit, but I was not happy with it regardless.

"Is the old firmware available?"
Professional reviewers disliked the operation of the memory card on the original Zen so changes were made. I liked the way the original worked except for not being able to delete files. Also, I do not store music on my player, I store audio files.
MP3 is not music, it is audio.
The audio is excellent. The player is compact and sturdy.
Great for the price.
Please have an option of original memory card operation.

"Creative's Customer Service is HORRIBLE"
I have purchased two Creative Zens now and I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE.
Their customer service department is the most frustrating experience ever. They jerk you around for days with emails asking for information you've already given, telling you to try stuff you've already explained that you tried and in the end they tell you "tough luck we can't help you - go buy another one!"
What a joke!! Horrible, horrible experience. Products don't last a day beyond their flimsy warranty.
SHOP THEIR COMPETITORS - SAVE YOURSELF THE FRUSTRATION AND $$$.
