Great sound, compact size. Very easy-to-use software and downloading. I could rip CDs and download them almost as fast as I could select them. The only thing I do not like is the unnecessarily sensitive touchpad. It's too easy to overnavigate, and that's enough to keep this from being a 5.

Some would pay 300 bones for a 20gig apple ipod, when creative has a 40gig mp3 for the same amount, it has incredible battery life, and uses touch panel. Look it up, Ipod? Bow down, you've been beat!
