Creative Zen Micro 5GB MP3 Player Limited Edition

The Creative Zen Micro 5GB MP3 Player Limited Edition (see CNET Review) is a smart, geeky semi-cute MP3 player that packs a punch with features for such a small player. It’s true sometimes that good things come in small packages.

For such a small MP3 player, the Creative Zen Micro 5GB Limited Edition has a lot of extra features you usually only find on the larger, newer MP3 players. From digital voice recording to FM stereo pickup to FM Stereo recording – if you’re looking for a good all around MP3 player, this is a good choice that won’t take a huge bite out of your wallet and won’t take up a lot of space.

All that said, the reviews around the Internet show that the setup and synchronization between this MP3 player and your computer can be a little time consuming and surely isn’t plug-n-play when you first get it. With a little effort (reading the manual), though, you’re sure to be up and running in no time.

A little difficulty with the initial setup isn’t something that should stop you from purchasing this MP3 player (unless, of course, you’re totally bad with computers and don’t think you can get through it) because it has so many great features in a compact size.
