 What a nifty little giftie January 20, 2010

I purchased this as the 3rd gift MP3 player for my husband. Who lost the first IPOD I bought him, sweated to death the second and asked me to buy something inexpensive for the 3rd. Did a bit of research and the Mozaic works with Audible.com which was of key concern. It also has an easier UI than the Sony products... Oh yes. I had bought him a Sony mp3 player years ago. So the Mozaic is actually number 4. The Mozaic is a great inexpensive alternative to a NANO. User friendly, nice controls and in a world where Apple leads in terms of industrial design, has its own kind of elegance.

As I say bought for my daughter - no complaints - she does complain if there is a problem so I am assuming all OK. She is not usually gentle with her belongings so it must be robust.
So simple to use :-))) January 24, 2010

I bought this to use via the MP3 player in my car. It is reliable, easy to use and has a good storage capacity. I think it is good value compared to an iPod.
Reliable if a bit quirky MP3 player. June 30, 2010

This is a fine MP3 player (mine is 16GB not 8GB but the model number, appearance, and feature list is the same) that does have some 'niggles' (nothing insurmountable) but is ultimately reliable and pleasant to use.
First you have the music library software - 'Creative Centrale' - which is 'buggy' but PREDICTABLY buggy. For instance you can be ripping your albums and after a while it starts to say 'error' on a song and every subsequent song after that BUT all you have to do is close the program and open it again and it will pick up from where it left off in the album. So if you just factor that into the process and expect it, it ceases to become a problem and doesn't put you out too much. The other major software bug I've found is that sometimes it crashes on the sync but you can get round that too by not using the sync and just selecting the album folders in 'My Music', right-clicking, and choosing 'send to MyZen'. So bearing in mind that ripping and transfering music is not something you do that often, there's nothing hugely annoying about these software glitches.
Originally I wasn't particularly happy about the MP3 bit-rates on offer - 64, 128, 192, and 320 - because I checked on a website that said CD quality was roughly 256 so 320 seemed a bit of a waste. Now I put everything on in 192 and although it is clearly worse than CD quality, I have, like with everything else, got used to it and now it sounds fine.
Then there's the MP3 player itself. It's perfectly reliable and the charge lasts for ages. You can do all the usual sorts and shuffles, create playlists on-the-fly (albeit in a round-about and not too obvious way), and even rate songs. It does hang occasionally when it's playing or moving between menus but it is after all a mini computer and all computers do that if you put too much load on them - i.e. changing between modes etc and doing anything 'on-the-fly' where it has to calculate rather than just refer to a playlist. But if it hangs - which it doesn't do much - all you have to do is turn it off and on again.
So overall it's a decent and feature-packed piece of kit that unfortunately has a few flaws to make it less than perfect. But all the flaws are predictable, easy to get around, and ultimately acceptable.
