The Creative ZEN is a digital audio player particularly suited to tango DJing.

  • solid state (no hard drive)
  • playback of lossless audio (WAV, including metadata)
  • large capacity (up to 32Gb - 1500 lossless or 4000 320kbps MP3 tracks)
  • large display with white-on-dark lettering
  • buttons (not wheel) with firm action (not touch-sensitive)
  • play queue
  • configurable menu
  • alpha bar for rapid paged (scroll-free) navigation of lists
  • user-programmable button
  • on-device creation of named playlists

Issues

  • Charge meter can show three pixels remaining when charge is almost at zero.
  • There is no way to set to play just the currently selected track in a list - Play sets the entire list to play, starting at the current track.
    • Workaround: On PC, configure a list entry (either a playlist or a Album/Artist/Genre) for each individual track.
  • Shortcut button 'Add to selected' command issued when the alpha bar is selected falsely says "Shortcut not applicable here" and does not operate. And leaves the focus confused - cursor is on the item list but input operates the alpha bar.
  • Updating the currently playlist currently in-view on the device from the PC causes the device to falsely say the playlist is empty. Reselecting the playlist shows the correct content.
  • does not play any lossless compressed audio (but plays WAV)
