5 Stars zen media player
Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black)
Loved this media player. Easy to use and well worth the money.
4 Stars Excellent.
I bought this flash player as a replacement for my Ipod Video (first gen), and so far, everything about it is better. I never was a fan of ipod and their tendancy to break. This mp3 player so far seems more durable even though its more plastic-y. Music, video, radio…it all works perfect, and the screen is excellent too (very bright and sharp).
The only downside about this is that it doesn’t have some of the cool, modern features you can find in other flash players, like the samsung p2. It doesn’t have a touch screen, or a unique way to navigate through the menus. It seems like its technology is a little bit behind some of the others available.
Overall, I would recommend it over an ipod. Excellent mp3 player.
5 Stars As Good as an iPod
I happened to buy this one as a gift[..]. I’ve had mine for quite a while (maybe a year), and so far I haven’t had a single problem out of it. The battery life is still great, and the picture it gives is really sharp. I would recommend this product if all you want is an mp3 player and don’t want to take out a second mortgage to buy an iPod.
5 Stars Dont be skeptical, this thing is awesome!
I wanted a new MP3 player with expandable memory, photo capability, fm tuner. I decided to move away from Ipods because of the limiting nature of itunes as the primary method of music-device transfering. I also wanted to be able to add music on SD cards as the larger capacity ones become available.
I compare this player to the Nano (3 and 4g) and the Sansa Fuze.
Here is what I decided:
Nano:
Pros: Great design, quality durability, support for product while under warranty, screen resolution
Cons: Itunes, transfering music limitations, no expandability, no tuner, screen size is bigger than necesary for music info but too small for video/photo. Battery life less than fuze.
Verdict: Gold Standard for design/media delivery. Does its job very well.
Fuze:
Great mimic of Ipod 3g Nano, MicroSD expandable, ease of use, clickwheel design, tuner, size, value
Cons: okay screen resolution, non traditional USB cable for charging transfering music, clickwheel durability questionable
Verdict: Great overall player for the money, sleek design that rivals that of the Ipod nano Gen3! Worth a real long look.
Zen:
Pros: Screen Resolution/Size, Features/customizability, Expandibility options, traditional usb cable for transferring
Cons: Separate menus for mp3 player library and memory card, battery life worse than Fuze comparable to nano
Overall, all these mp3 are great competitors in the game. Disregard scratched screen issues. If you dont take care of your mp3 players, the same wil happen to almost all MP3 players! The Zen has the best screen,is the most customizable, is open to way more options than the nano. The Fuze is great however it is not as customizable and is only available up to 8gb rather than the Zen which can be had with up to 32 gb of internal space. I am testing a 2gb version, however i am purchasing the available 16gb zen.
And for any mp3 player you choose, if you plan on trying to keep it working as long as possible, a twenty dollar case would not be a bad investment.
You value style,name: Ipod Nano
You want the best value in an ipod look-alike with bonus features: Sansa Fuze
You want a good value player with bonus features and much customizability:
Creative Zen. (If this Zen is still on sale when you read this and your trying to choose between this and the Fuze, choose the Zen!)
Cant wait to get my 16gb player in the mail!
Dont be skeptical! Give the Zen a try, especially with the sale!
5 Stars The perfect MP3 player
This is everything one could want in an MP3/mini video player. It is small, yet has a large screen. The picture is beautiful, and the sound is great! I only have 2 complaints, it does not work with Linux and it does not support Ogg files. I still give it 5 stars, as most MP3 players do not.
If you are thinking of an iPod, save your money, all of my friends switched to Zen after seeing it, except for my friend with the iPhone.

5 Stars I LOVE my shuffle!!
I had an mp4 player that held music, pictures, and video but I never seemed to use it. I guess it was just all the bells and whistles that I didn’t need. I LOVE the shuffle because of it’s size and convenience. It is very small and portable and clips on to your clothing. The sound is GREAT! I would have rather had the purple one but they were out so I bought the pink one, which is fine. I highly recommend this one to very busy people who enjoy their own music.
5 Stars i pod shuffle
Bought this for my daughter and she loves it. This is the 2nd one i have purched and if needed, will buy another from Amazon.
5 Stars a jogger’s review 
I already have an iPod classic that’s large enough to fit my 10,000 song collection onto it. I purchased the new iPod shuffle because I got really tired of holding onto my chunky Classic when trying to go running, and the sleak clip-on design of the Shuffle was just what I needed. I have no complaints. I essentially use it to play a specific playlist that I’ve developed in iTunes so I don’t need a screen to tell me what I’m listening to. And I don’t need it to be able to hold 1000 songs since I only go through about 10-20 in one workout period.
The volume goes as high or as low as I need it. There is a toggle switch to turn the “shuffle songs” feature on or off which is nice so that I don’t get tired songs being played in the same order over and over again.
The overall usability is just as simple as I need it to be while I’m jogging. It’s clipped onto my pants or my sleeve or my pocket and I can quickly press whatever button I need to take care of business without having to break my stride. And I’ve never had it come off which is what I was worried about the most.
The only thing that didn’t work for me was the earbuds. They tend to hurt my ears, and when running they work their way out of my ears completely. So I just invested in a pair of earbuds that wrap around my ears.
Some folks have issues with the fact that you can only charge it through a computer. This has not been a problem for me seeing as I update the playlist often and the shuffle recharges while I’m doing that. But the battery rarely runs down regardless.
I highly recommend this product if you’re just looking for a simple, inexpensive MP3 player to have on your body without it getting in your way. It’s worth every dime.
5 Stars dont listen to the 1 star reviews
This product is durable- sounds great- and most of all it is well worth the $45 ! It is the best product out there for those who are into physical fitness and want something that is not intrusive in anyway.
5 Stars Love the IPOD
I bought the IPOD shuffle for my son and he loves it. There’s been a learning curve as this is the first time he’s owned one. So far so good.

USB adapter for the 2 Gen Apple iPod Shuffle
The IncipioBud allows you to easily connect a iPod Shuffle to any USB port without having to use the relatively large iPod Shuffle Dock (included with your iPod Shuffle). Supporting full speed USB transfer rates, you will be amazed at how quickly it handles music transfer with iTunes and charging needs. The IncipioBudTM is the perfect travel companion, taking up virtually no space in a bag or pocket. No need to haul around the Dock and cables that came with your iPod Shuffle, just pack the IncipioBud and a user all set. The IncipioBud also comes with a convenient lanyard loop on the side so you can attach it to backpack or laptop case. This tiny adapter weighs in at only 5.6 grams and measures a mere 47mm X 16mm! See the related items for this products expanded uses. NOTE: iPod Shuffle not included

5 Stars Better than the original usb dock
It was what I expected to get, better than the original dock it came with, and it was a quick delivery. In addition, now I don’t have to worry about the annoying wire attached to the dock of the original one. Thanks. I will update this review later if anything changes.
5 Stars Great and compact
This is worth it… I slip it in my bag and use it whenever I need to do anything with my shuffle.
Apple should provide this instead of that silly dock they provide.
1 Star won’t charge
My Ipod shuffle won’t charge with this. It will sync up to ITunes, but not charge.
1 Star Not working.
Ok, so I’ve got today my adapter very well packaged but it’s not working after more than two hours trying to…
From what I’ve read all across the internet, it looks like both ipod shuffle and adapter (even the original one) are just stinking garbage.
If you have any, get rid of them. If you’re planning to buy them, then save your money or try to spend more grabbing a better ipod.
My advice: buy a PSP.
Crap.
5 Stars Great product
I really like this charger for my shuffle. I would definitely recommend using it over the standard cradle that apple gives you. It’s small and very easy to use.
