The macro Media Center

bythe_nvidia_guy Feb 6, 2006
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Battery life, speaker, Screen
Cons Size. Lacks features from the full media center. Bundle is not good
Recommended it? Yes

Why I chose this player:
I got this player as my Creative Labs Zen NX can't play MSN music DRM protected, so when I saw this PMC for $199.00, I said GREAT! But ZipzoomFly will not shop to PR, so I had to get it from Newegg.com for 229.00. :-(

The 'Portable' Media Center?

Pros Beautiful 3.8" Screen, Windows Media Player Integration, A/v out, Battery Life,...
Cons The device is massive, un-portable, and obsolete
Recommended it? No

After recently buying a couple of PVPs (Portable Video Players) I was less than impressed with the Zen PMC (Portable Media Center). This thing is huge (relatively speaking). It wont fit in my pocket and i'm not a fan of using this machine that resembles a thin 'Sega Nomad' in public. It's rather... Read full review »

Pros display screen, fits in your pocket
Cons Sensitive touch pad
Recommended it? Yes

It was my birthday in June and I was getting excited about what I could do with the money that pours in (at a trickle) from my relatives. We had a trip to France camping coming up and I always feel that taking CD's is a bit of a waste of space in the car. On this note I decided that we should... Read full review »

Not impressed :(

byhelenmelon Nov 22, 2005
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Well it's pretty, and when it works the sound quality is great.
Cons What can i say they just don't last.
Recommended it? No

I have had three of these in the space of seven months. Although when they first arrived I loved each of them, a fault in the hardware soon developed in each of them, rendering the players unusable, hence the replacements. Creative had excellent customer service, however, and after a series of... Read full review »
