The Nano Plus is much more than just a music player; it includes an FM tuner, voice/FM recording, and line-in encoding for direct connection and recording from any audio source. Use the Nano Plus to record music directly from your CD player, without a computer.

Of course, if you do have a computer you can transfer audio and data files in seconds with "drag-and-drop" ease--and without software--using the player's USB 2.0 connection. Meanwhile, the Auto Synchronization feature makes it easy to transfer your favorite songs and albums from CDs through the line-in port.

The FM tuner lets you tune 32 stations. As mentioned, you can also record FM radio so you can catch your favorite tunes or talk shows later on. The built in microphone lets you record voice conversations -- great for those long lectures at school. You can also use the Nano Plus as a portable mini hard drive, allowing you to store data files such as photos and presentations. The unit's LCD is even reversible for left or right handed operation. Last but not least, the Zen Nano sports equalizer presets (Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock) that make your music sound better.

The Zen Nano Plus uses PlaysForSure technology. Look for the PlaysForSure logo if you're shopping for a portable music or video device and you want to make sure the digital music and video you purchase will play back on it every time. Match the PlaysForSure logo on a large selection of leading devices and online music stores. If you see the logo, you'll know your digital music will play for sure.

Best value for your money.......2007-06-28

I could pick a MP3 player for my birthday. Originally I planned on asking for an Ipod Nano, but I just did not feel good having someone spend so much money on something that I probably will loose or break (I have a whole notebook graveyard).

So after much research I settled on the Nano Plus. 1 GB is enough for a few days of listening, if I pick careful I can even go on a short international hop. I love the external battery, that is something I enjoy after my PDA. And I liked the small, white design.

Now I am using the Nano Plus for close to two weeks and I love it. Great sound, even on the underground train while listening to a low quality download of talk radio! I have some classical pieces that I enjoy hearing and there is full sound, even on the supplied earphones. And the battery seems to last forever, I am already over 18 hours and it still works.

Yes, the casing is a big cheap placsticy. I will just grab a cheap cover next time I am at the electronics store, and for what the player cost I can replace it in two years if its broken.

Does the job it's made for.......2007-03-05

FIRST OF ALL THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A NECKSTRAP!!! There is a misprint above, it comes with an armband - not a neckstrap. I was aware of this so it's fine with me but thought I would warn others.

In regards to the product itself I read all the professional reviews and this was basically tied with the ipod shuffle for best sound quality in the flash player category. If you are an audiophile looking for perfect sound you should get something more robust, because the sound in these small players can be slightly muddy. How to correct this? As with all portable players you need to toss the headphones that come with it. The Creative headphones are average and aren't really made to stay in the ear during workouts or running. If you are considering purchasing an ipod shuffle they will tell you the same thing - default headphones are always cheap. There's a huge difference in sound quality if you upgrade them to something better so it's highly recommended you do this.

I bought the Sennheiser PMX 70 headphones for this purpose. They sound great and stay in place while running. For walking around or light house-work I also bought the Sennheiser PX 100's which have even better sound and are more comfortable for longer use.

The armband that comes with this is great and you don't have to pay extra for it like you would with an ipod. I also own an older 256mb version of this product. It received alot of abuse but still works fine. It also comes with a rubber housing so if you bang your arm against the wall it won't break. Operating the unit is a no brainer, you just attach the USB cable to the player and your computer. It then acts as a hard drive which Windows will automatically read. A little window will pop up asking if you want to open files in the removal disk. Then, all you have to do is drag and drop your MP3 files and you are set. It comes with a CD with software but it's not really necessary. The software does have an owners manual that is much better than the written documentation that comes in the box so you may want to install it anyway.

A prior reviewer complained you could not put songs in folders. This is not true. You can organize your songs in folders on your computer then simply drop them into the player. When you want to change folders during use just press in the wheel and select "skip folder." You can then rotate the wheel to the folder you want. There are many options available, for example you can set it to play random songs or you can play them in order. If you like to play folders in order you may want to put a number in front of each folder or it will play them in alphabetical order.

There are several equilizer presets such as classical, jazz, rock, or custom. I set mine to normal because I read that you lose a little sound quality to distortion if you use a preset. Battery life is good, I didn't count the hours of use but it lasted quite a long time and the batteries are small and cheap so is not a large concern. I wish however the armband had a small slot in it to hold an extra battery. It's a bummer to run out of juice while on the trail or in the gym but that's a picky complaint.

There are other goodies as well such as FM radio, microphone to record voice and even mp3 encoding capability but I have not tried them out. I only use as an mp3 player.

The bottom line is that if you are looking for a player to take with you to the gym then look no further. It has good sound, good battery life, good options, good armband, and is easy to use. What more do you want?

Zen nano is a pretty good deal.......2007-01-11

I've bought four of these for myself and friends. They're cheap enough that you don't have to worry TOO much about losing or breaking them (like you would an ipod). It doesn't have silly restrictions on what kind of MP3s you can play (but no itunes music!). It's literally as small as a matchbox and great in the gym. One gig is plenty of music for one outing, and you can always change it. I got one wet and it kept working.

Down sides: The sound quality is a bit tinny. The interface isn't as sleek and engaging as the ipod, but it's not bad. One of the four I bought (actually it was a "Muvo," the earlier name for the zen nano) stopped working after about 14 months of use, and there's really no way to get it fixed.

Still, overall a pretty good deal, I think.

You don;t need to pick "fruit" for quality music.......2007-01-10

Creative have a long legacy in digital sound their media players are much more versatile than the iPods of this world.
This player has everything. It is small, has all the features you would expect plus some extras like a superb voice recorder and the ability to take line-in audio and split it into separate tracks.
The only thing this audio player does not allow is naming the FM stations on the tuner, but that's it!
I have 3 of these in the family (two black one white) and a Zen Vision:M (also awesome) - Creative rules!

I love this MP3 player!.......2007-01-03

This works great the battery lasts a long time. The only problem with it is that it says it can hold 500 songs but in reality it only holds about half of that -I think it's due to the length of the music files some may be larger than others-they should tell you that or make it completely compatable to hold 500 songs no matter what. Other than that I love it-it is so small and the sound quality is great! I would recommend this product it's great!

Product Description

Citizen's CLP 6000 series printers are synonymous with ease of use, performance and reliability. These are the most important design considerations when Citizen develops any barcode printer.This starts off with the easy ribbon and media loading systems. To load a ribbon, simply wrap it from one roller to the next around the print head. Naturally, the printer tells you when the ribbon needs changing.To load new labels or media in to the printer, push the color-coded head opening lever, lay the media in the printer and close the clam-shell mechanism. Simplicity itself.Printing with either thermal transfer technology on standard labels, card and plastic or using direct thermal transfer on to coated media, these printers create crisp, detailed labels in all applications. The high quality printing means barcodes are clear and accurate and easy to read. Naturally, the CLP 6000 series printers are quick off the mark: the first-label out time is extremely quick and the double buffering means there is no delay between labels. To ensure the printers is compatible with the majority of applications, an industry standard emulation is included in each printer and drivers are available for Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT4 operating systems. This allows the user to use standard applications or a more sophisticated label design package with ease.Finally, users have no need to wonder whether these label printers are correctly setup and ready to print. The LCD control panel displays easy-to-understand messages about the status of the printer. The CLP 6002 printer's features include a fixed media sensor, thermal transfer and direct thermal technology, all popular barcode symbology, high-speed parallel and serial interfaces, high speed printing up to 7 inches per second and a metal case for durability and strength.

good at first.......2007-01-06

I bought one of these mice and it worked great for about 4 monthes but then it started to not be controllable and then not at all.
I returned it to Officemax and they gave me another new one. After 2 monthes, this one is now losing control. So, they work great for about 3 to 4 monthes, and then they start to fall apart.

Tough bulletproof mouse with good feel -- works with Mac OSX.......2004-09-10

Cheap, well-made, good feel in the hand -- my son wanted a two-button mouse to use on a game on the web and I found this one. He says the second button does what he needs on his game, and on the desktop the second button acts as a control-click. The tiny scroll wheel is a neat feature, too.

I like the design really well. It was cheap, it feels good to use it, it does what I want -- another perfect Belkin product. I wish that Belkin made cars. I'd buy one of them.
