Reviews of the Creative Zen Mozaic (8GB, black)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Creative Zen Mozaic offers a unique design, great sound quality, and a sweet, customizable interface. It's packed with features such as an FM radio, a voice recorder, a built-in speaker, and photo and video support. The player is also a good value, and video battery life is exceptional.
The Bad: The Zen Mozaic lacks dedicated volume controls and it only works with Windows XP and Vista. Videos must be transcoded with the included software.
The Bottom Line: The Creative Zen Mozaic offers great bang for your buck as far as MP3 players go: get super sound quality, a boatload of features, and a cool interface--all wrapped in a funky design at an ultralow price.

Review Summary: Videos and photos look fine on the Mozaic, though we wouldn't watch long movies on the player's small screen. The FM tuner gets decent reception, and we like the voice recorder's on-screen level meter, though our test recordings were a bit noisy. Battery
