The Creative Zen X-Fi plastic construction does not feel high-quality
And the SD card content does not get integrated into the general libraries. Videos often need to be transcoded through the included software
Creative Zen X-Fi is great multimedia player with just few small problems. First and biggest by our opinion is lack of support for FLAC format. Since this is high-class device that has price tag above two hundred Euros this kind of slip-ups are intoler...

It's an outstanding digital music player that rises to the top with ease. The masses may continue to think iPod first when they need a new MP3 player - but it will be a shame if they do. The Creative Zen X-Fi is arguably the most innovative, feature-p...
