Customer Reviews
Good solid charger that does the job
If you're going to be away from a computer for any length of time you'll need a charger for your Zen. The Creative charger comes with interchangeable UK/continental mains plugs and, curiously, a round DC plug that doesn't fit the Zen at all. Instead, you get an adapter to turn it into the USB plug that you need.
The DC lead is substantial, unlike most such leads which tangle abominably before losing an argument with the hoover. The USB adapter makes it easy to plug in alternative power sources but note that it's just a straight-through connection; voltage regulation is in the charger.
Important note: lithium ion batteries, which are what you have in your Zen, don't like to be kept fully charged all the time. Constant use on external power can bring them to a premature end.
Good product
Bought when I purchased my ZEN player. Now we have a couple in the house and its always in use. Well worth the money.
Creative Couldn't Care Less
Beware of Creative customer care.
I recently contacted them with a problem with my MP3 player.
Basically, although it worked fine and was fully loaded with my whole music and video collection, I couldn't add any further content to it.
Customer care took me through a diagnostic process which ended with a instructions to completely reformat the machine, stripping it of its operating system.
I e-mailed them to say I was nervous of doing this, but they insisted it was necessary and that if it didn't work I'd be invited to send the unit in for repair or replacement.
When I took the fateful step and lost everything they informed me that I was out of warranty and they wanted £60 to repair it (even though they had known my purchase date and had a copy of my Amazon receipt from the beginning).
As this unit can now be bought for about this amount I had no option but to bin it.
Result, no player, 4500 tracks and dozens of films lost forever.
If they had told me the cost of repair before pushing me to reformat I could have made and informed decision.
Do not trust their advice, in fact if I were you I'd buy elsewhere!
