How will you deal with all the attention?
The ZEN V Plus player was designed for people like youthose who walk a step or two ahead of the pack. So don't be surprised when people take notice of your cool, colorful music, photo and video player.

Tell them you carry up to 4,000 songs with you. Tell them you can watch video on the go. Show them just a handful of the photos you've stored on the pocket sized powerhouse. And tell them there's even more but they'll have to get their own.

Dangerous curves ahead!
ZEN V Plus is so tiny that it will fit into almost any pocket--jackets, purses and more. But don't let the size fool you. ZEN V Plus is packed with all the great features you desire.

Find your own way
Fill your tiny ZEN V Plus with up to 4,000 songs. Pull out your CD collection and rip your albums. Log on to the Internet and browse different music services for the songs you want. Download your favorite songs without paying for the whole album.

Plus, for a low monthly fee, you can join a subscription service and fill and refill your ZEN V Plus with new tunes everyday.

Enjoy the show
Now you don't have to just listen to your favorite songs, you can watch them! Your videos will look amazing on the stunning 1.5 inch color screen. Show off your favorite video clips of friends, vacations or cool skateboarding stunts. Rich, vibrant photos, album art, and menus burst to life.

Navigate all of your content with remarkable ease using the patented ZEN user interface. Your music, photos and videos are all available at your finger tips.

Mix it up
When in the mood for something different, simply use the built-in FM radio. Set up to 32 station presets so you can catch up on the latest sports results, listen to your favorite talk show, or navigate your way out of traffic problems down Route 66.

Avoid the Burnout
No need to burn CDs to your PC then download to your ZEN. Connect to the line-in jack on your ZEN, and record your CDs, records, beats and more. The automatic track detection will even separate each song for you.

    Creative Zen V Plus Review
    By: Grahm Skee - Anything But iPod
    Published on: 10/7/2006 2:40 PM
    In this review we will take a look at two of Creatives high capacity flash-based MP3 players, the Zen V and the Zen V Plus. The Zen V Plus adds an FM radio, video playback, and capacities up to 8GB. Both versions of the Zen V also come in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB capacities....read the full review
    Creative Zen V Plus - MP3 Player Review
    By: tech.co.uk staff - techradar.com Reviews
    Published on: 8/22/2007 11:00 PM
    As it happens, the player's much more robust than it appears, and in terms of features gives the iPod Nano an absolute shoeing, despite being even smaller. Video and radio are the main advantages over its better-looking rival, while its OLED screen means there's an impressive battery life for so small a device. ...read the full review

    3 of 5 Not a good MP3 player. Saturday, August 09, 2008
    A Customer from New York , NY  

    I do not reccomend this MP3 player because it sounds like crap no matter how high-quality the songs are. And it feels like cheap plastic in your hands. Look elsewhere.

    5 of 5 Convinced Monday, August 04, 2008
    A Customer from San Francisco  
    Not having a computer at home made it much more difficult to get the player up and running, but once I found a way around that problem, I have to say that I love this little thing. I had some problems with the system that were solved by a download of the latest systemware.

    5 of 5 Large memory, small price Sunday, August 03, 2008
    A Customer from Sewell, NJ  
    I've had the Zen for about 2 months. I use it frequently but not constantly. I am satisfied with the battery life, and was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the headphones. Sounds good through the home stereo as well. Easy to navigate once you get familiar with it. A nice unit for the price.

    1 of 5 Now Useless just like my Zen Micro Thursday, July 03, 2008
    Tony from State College, PA  
    I'm zero for 2 on Zen products. I've used my current Zen V Plus very sparingly over the past few months. Now it froze up, can't turn off until the battery dies, and won't allow itself to be reset. What an idiot I am for giving them a second chance!

    5 of 5 Bookmark Feature - great for listening to audio bo Saturday, May 31, 2008
    Don from Linden, NJ  
    Yes, this is a great little MP3 player as mentioned in the other reviews, but the best feature of the Zen V Plus has not even been mentioned. The bookmark feature allows you to set 10 bookmarks, returning to audio files exactly were you left off in multiple audio books & podcasts. I use this feature several times each day. I have had the 8GB version for about 1.5 years, needing a warranty repair once ($25). Creative support has been very helpful on more than one occasion. I would definately recommend the Creative Zen Plus, but go for the highest capacity unit you can since you will fill it up. My Apple Ipod NANO boots up faster but sits in the drawer - it is not compatible with the local public library's free audio book downloads, nor does it have bookmarks.

    5 of 5 Ordered, payed, and received Sunday, May 18, 2008
    A Customer from Hillsdale, MI  
    Checked for best price, found it at buy.com. Ordered products, made payment, received shipment in specified time. Easy and uneventful for the 4 things I ordered. This is a least my forth time ordering from buy.com. I have not had a problem with their service.

    5 of 5 Simple to use, nice features, great price Tuesday, May 06, 2008
    A Customer from Ellicott City, MD  
    After helping my husband and two teens select their four MP3 players, I finally decided I wanted one, too. I've found the Zen V Plus to be easy to use - easy to load the music, easy to find what I want to play - and the price ($75) was great for the 4G. My son is lobbying for a trade....

    5 of 5 I received my entire order in the time expected. Monday, May 05, 2008
    A Customer from Hillsdale, Michigan  
    I purchased three items from Buy.com. I did two separate orders for these items to receive a discount on each order. I received all three items in the stated time. My first item, a MP3 player, was stolen while in transit. I called and emailed Buy.com and the postal service immediately. Buy.com sent a replacement out in a timely matter. I have now made five purchases from Buy.com and have only positive things to report.

    4 of 5 Nice unit for the money Monday, April 28, 2008
    A Customer from Cumberland, RI  
    I bought one for myself about 7 months ago and when my beloved said she wanted an MP3 player that wasn't always needing a battery and complaining she couldn't use any purchased music on her primitive unit I decided she needed this for her birthday. She was thrilled - when the unit started to play the look on her face told all. Wonderful sound, simple to use and relatively trouble free. Pros: easy to use, holds a lot, light and compact Cons: battery life is not as good as it should be, unit is subject to lockup at odd times (requires reset - better keep a paper clip handy)

    2 of 5 Worked fine for 2 months Friday, April 25, 2008
    Hank C from Lancaster, NY  
    After 2 months it will no longer charge the battery. Otherwise it was a good unit - better than the Sansa units I've had (3) or the old generation iPod (1). I'll no longer purchase without a warranty which is of course a boon to the seller. Workmanship & reliability is a thing of the past.
