iving it a command. The mp3 players created are light, compact and easy to carry around. They can play continuously for more than 17hours and the effect of the headphones attached is amazing. Since this company is into sound systems, makers of speakers and audio devices for computer, the sound quality is always something to talk about.
Some of the additional features is you can choose the style of playback, shuffle, repeat all songs or repeat one particular. You can also select the effect to be added to the song playing – jazz, rock, classical, live and so on. All this makes it fun to play around and a sleek device to have. If you go for morning walks or running, then you must carry one of these with you as they will make time fly and you will enjoy your exercise.

Creative is also a company that has come up with slim music players that are portable. The Zen vision is one such model which works as a camera letting you take pictures and shoot videos. Since the memory in this is about 30GB, you can load songs and have much more without worrying about space factor. The number of songs you can store goes upto 15000 in this, which means you can have your entire cd collection loaded into this. And incase you are working on the computer and need music; you can plug in the USB chord into the player and enjoy the music on your computer’s Creative speakers.
The Creative mp3 players are not very expensive and can be purchased in any electronic, or music store or even on any website that sells electronic devices. Since they come with a cable and an infrared remote, you can operate them from anywhere. One other advantage of Creative mp3 players is that, there are docking stations also available for the latest models and so you can plug it and let everyone enjoy the music that you listen to in good quality. And the biggest advantage of an mp3 player is if you don’t like a song, you can simply connect to the computer and remove it from your play list.

Jukebox Zen Micro Review With so many portable MP3 players it is hard to tell which one has the most features compared to many other MP3 players in the market. Those who just want a simple MP3 player will find the zen micro to be one of the easiest to operate music player devices today.
Since the jukebox micro is all about size and portability the hard drive can only hold about 4.7 Gigabytes worth of songs which can ad up to 1360 songs encoded at 128kbps which is today's quality standard (CD quality). There are other versions available which feature upgraded memory of up to 7GB which can hold around three thousand songs following the rule shown above.
As far as sound quality, the Company Creative has received several awards for sound and product quality, and we have seen several times in the past that Creative's reviews have been even better than iPod's. The exterior design of this particular MP3 player allows for several exchangeable colors, among the most popular ones we have white, black and blue. Besides its exteriors appearance one of the best features this small player has is the battery life which can go up to 14 hours of continuous MP3 playback, now you and I know that we won't be listening for 14 straight hours of music unless we are on a plane flying to destinations across the globe.
This MP3 player is mostly for younger folks who don't mind small menus and touch scrolling buttons, but be careful as to how hard you press these buttons since just a light touch is enough to make them react, you can always control the button sensitivity within the player's main menu. The software which is bundled with the player is easy to use and the installation is straight forward, although the organizer could have been improved in recent updates by the company as well as the firmware version.
This particular model has been such as success that the manufacturing company decided to upgrade the model by including a "photo" version with a color screen giving this small 8GB version a fully customizable background according to your favorite photos. The line of Zen micro MP3 players is quite innovative, so much that after its release iPod came up with a Nano version of its player in order to bring some market competition, and this is what started the war on full color screen mini-sized MP3 players. With many other companies joining the party the future of portable music players looks very promising.

Why do I just love my mp3 sports player?
Well, I don't know about you, but when I'm out jogging unless I go into a trance or something similar, I get pretty bored after I've covered the first hundred miles or so (just joking) unless I have something to occupy my mind.
This is where my Creative mp3 sports player comes to the rescue.
It is now my constant companion, accompanying me while I'm hoofing around the streets. While I'm on the trot, apart from listening to some great funky music, not any old stuff, but, the music of my choice, I can also get a constant read out related to my exercise performance.
Whatever will they think of next?
I even find myself looking forward to going out for a jog, something that is a new experience for me. Some of the features included with my model is a screen that give me readings of how I'm doing, such as the distance I've traveled, how many calories I've burnt not to mention how long I've been out there pounding the pavement.
Don't time fly when your having fun?
Apart from all this I can even take pictures and record video with it. Great, If you happen to come across some hot looking chick on your jogging travels. I always seem to spy plenty of those on my chosen daily route.
Another handy thing about my sports mp3 is that I can just hang it on my sleeve so it's out the way and If it wasn't for the music I'd even forget that it's there and the constant pounding doesn't make any difference to the sound I get either.
Well, time to hit the streets with my mp3 sports player again...I'm outta here.
