Zen Touch
And Zen there was music. Lots of it!
 If
you're still listening to music on the move via CD or tape,
we've got just one question: why? MP3 players are superior
in every single department, and the amount of music you can
cram into these increasingly diminutive devices is truly staggering.
If, perhaps,
it's the price tag that's been worrying you then worry no
more, as the phenomenally feature-packed Creative Zen Touch
does everything its rivals can and more, yet it costs under
£180/$341. Ticking all the right boxes in terms of style,
size and capacity, this 20GB box of tricks is more than a
match for the omnipresent iGods of this world, and, thanks
to a nifty rechargeable lithium-ion battery, boasts a jaw-dropping
24 hours playback time.
The chic
and sexy Zen Touch holds up to 10,000 tunes in WMA format
or 5000 in MP3 and its super-fast USB 2.0 interface lets you
transfer and AudioSync™ your music seamlessly in record
time. Navigating the Zen's voluminous library and creating
playlists on the go is a doddle because this skilfully engineered
bit of kit features a unique touch-sensitive pad that allows
you to locate your tunes by song, album or artist. And you
can view your playlists and song selections on the Zen's natty
blue backlit screen. It's easy peasy MP3sy!
But what
about the sound? Well, imagine having a state-of-the-art sound
system surgically wired into you eardrums and you're halfway
there. The Zen's incredibly crisp sonics ( up to 97db Signal-to-Noise
Ratio ) are music to the ears - literally. You can even customize
the experience via a 4-band custom equalizer and EQ preset
function; so adding bass to your Beethoven, midrange to your
Manics and treble to your Travis has never been easier.
The Zen
Touch comes complete with Creative MediaSource software -
a dummy proof package that allows you to organize your music
and effortlessly convert your CDs to MP3 or WMA format. You
can also create playlists and drag and drop songs in an instant.
Yes, we
know Apples can be mighty tempting, but the beautifully built
Zen Touch is just as juicy and it's going for a song.
