On paper the Zen is a great MP3 player &#8212; it has USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 and Firewire connectivity, 12 hours of playback on the li-ion battery, charging from the USB cable, and an optional FM tuner that plugs in and serves as a wired remote as well. Unfortunately, the Zen has received lackluster reviews because of its software and the way it handles file transfers. Hopefully the software will get an update as well with this new upgraded hardware.<\/p>\n<p> <font color=\"red\">Update:<\/font> According to a review at <a href==\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\">CNet<\/a>, the new Zen still requires the use of the Creative Playcenter software to transfer songs. This is a problem; because the Zen does not show up as an external harddrive on the system, users cannot rip straight to the Zen, users must install the software on every system they use with the Zen (home, work, mobile) and it slows transfers. Keep this in mind when shopping for an HD-MP3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creative has reportedly announced that a new Nomad Zen Jukebox MP3 player will be released this month with a capacity of 60 gigs for a price of just $400.
