Portable CD MP3 Player

Get the latest price on the Creative Zen Sleek (20GB)   Creative Zen Sleek (20GB) Reviews   CNET has reviewed Creative Zen Sleek (20GB) and writes   The good: The Creative Zen Sleek is a solid, music-only WMA device with an FM tuner; voice and FM recording; and compatibility with Outlook contacts, calendars, and tasks. Large controls and a sleek body make this solid-sounding device a nice, affordable high-capacity option. It’s compatible with Audible, MP3, WMA (DRM 10/subscription), and WAV files.   The bad: The Creative Zen Sleek lacks a color screen for viewing photos or video, and its overall design is uninspiring. In addition, the device has a messy proprietary dock-connector cabling system, and the touch pad may not be the right interface for some users.   The bottom line: The Creative Zen Sleek is a decent WMA alternative for those looking for a music-only high-capacity MP3 player.

PCMAG has reviewed the Creative Zen Sleek (20GB) - ‘The Creative Zen Sleek ($220 street), an industrial-looking 20GB MP3 player encased in silver-colored brushed aluminum, is roughly the size of a fourth-generation 20GB iPod but has a slightly wider screen. As with the Zen Micro, you control it with a touch strip surrounded by five clearly labeled buttons. Sound quality is very good, the interface is reasonably easy to use, the player is compatible with online subscription and download services, and you get a few handy extras. Assuming you can find the player for a decent price, don’t use a Mac, and aren’t into looking at tiny photos, it’s worth a look.’

CoolTechZone.com has posted a review for Creative Zen Sleek (20GB) and writes - ‘

Creative’s Zen Sleek is a 20GB player with a brushed exterior that matches quite well with Apple’s Mac OS X. The buttons are all well placed and, as the name applies, sleek. Creative introduces a matching pair of earphones that goes well with the 157g player. Creative’s Zen Sleek uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and a USB connector to charge itself. In addition to supporting the regular MP3, WAV and WMA formats, it also has support for DRM WMA, which is the standard of choice for numerous online music retailers.’

reviewcentre has reviewed Creative Zen Sleek (20GB) and writes ‘The Creative Zen Sleek is being billed as the next MP3 player to create a huge stir amongst music fans. The Zen Sleek has gorgeous looks with its brushed metal highlights and big colour screen. There is more to this player than appearance though as it comes complete with touch controls, a 20 gig memory and a built in FM tuner which will allow you to record tracks from the radio onto the Zen Sleek. If you have purchased or tested a Creative Zen Sleek then why not write a review and share your experience with thousands of other users.’
