 Fantastic Little Player - Love the Speaker April 9, 2009

I purchased this to replace my 4 gb Zen Plus. Still works great, but I really wanted more capacity. I use them mainly at the gym when working out and on airplanes during travel.
The player itself is great. As other said, the buttons get take a little time to get used to, but once you do, it's great. Sound and battery life are excellent.
The only con, as others have said is the HORRIBLE Centrale software. It works terribly on my Vista 64 computer - very slow, seems to freeze up. It is useless - I can't believe Creative released this crappy software. I never had a problem with the software that came with my Zen V Plus but this software was horrible. I uninstalled it and was going to return the player but decided to try and use Windows Media Player for syncing music. What I found was that you can use Windows Media Player to sync music and create playlists. It works beautifully and quickly and transferred my many playlists perfectly.
All in all, I couldn't be happier.
Update: 5/22/09
I reiterate the 5 stars I gave this player after using it daily for the past couple of months. I find I use the speaker much more than I thought I would, and really love it. Sounds great for the size. The 16 gb capacity is amazing - I have still not managed to fill it up. I love the way I can create my playlists on windows media player (I have one for rock, one for running, one for classical etc) and have it easily sync with the Mozaic. Battery life is amazing, and the sound is great. Durabilty is excellent as I have dropped it several times while on the treadmill, and it still looks and works fine.
Excellent player!! November 21, 2009

I've had this player for about a day now and it's absolutely great. I got it as a replacement for my Sansa mp3 player, which was decent but had some features I didn't like. It got stolen so I decided to give the 16GB Zen Mozaic a try. I had some minor problems when I first synced it: the player froze when I disconnected it from the computer, but it was easily solved by using the reset button on the left side, and I haven't had any problems with that since. I definitely recommend this player, it's excellent!
Pros:
Size is small, but not so small as to be unmanageable
External speaker (a bit tinny, but surprisingly good quality!)
Menu is intuitive and easy to navigate
Menu has an option to scroll down letter by letter through the alphabet to find music quickly
When browsing under "genre" you can choose to have music listed by artist, album, or track
Shuffle uses randomization without replacement (meaning songs don't play again until you've heard all of them)
Syncs perfectly with Windows Media Player and Rhapsody if you don't want to install Creative Centrale
Sleek look, both of the player itself and the screen setup
Cons:
The player did freeze once or twice
The USB cable is extremely short (~4 inches), but it does work with a standard standard camera cable
Comes with a lot of sample music, pictures, video, etc. that take up quite a bit of space
The headphone jack is on the bottom (which I find a bit annoying)

I bought this 16 gb Mosaic because my 4 gb Mozaic was running out of space. I use it for listening to book I download from the library. It is the only one I have found that restarts where I stopped or lets me bookmark my spot in the book if I want to listen to music. The 16 gb also has a speaker so I don't have to use my earphones and can share the music. It also holds my photos and they can be use as background. I have never had any problem with either of my Mozaics.
Great Little player April 1, 2009

This is my second Mozaic. I first purchased the 4gig at a fraction of the price anywhere. I quickly filled that one up. When I saw the price of the 16gig at Amazon I bought it. Love these little players. Best for the price.

I currently own an Archos MP3/video player and although it's nice (especially for video), it's just too big and heavy to comfortably fit in a pocket and has minimal battery life. So, I was searching for a MP3 player that would fit both of those needs especially portability as I am now doing a lot of yard work. I really like the Zen Mosaic, so small (about the size of my Volkswagen key case)and it has great battery life. The sound quality is better than expected especially through my earbuds. I'd suggest you buy the companion rubber case (Zen sells 3 different colored cases also on Amazon for around $10)as it is needed for durability. Don't install the small CD that comes with the unit as it is better just to use Windows Media Player. By the way, it connected flawlessly and created the desired playlists. The Zen gives you the option to delete songs and playlists from the device (unlike the Sony Walkman that my wife owns). My only gripe is that the instruction sheet that comes with the Mosaic is a mess. There are so many languages that the print is about 6 point. Even with a magnifying glass, the included diagram showing functions is unreadable. I finally just decided to just start pushing buttons until I figured everything out. Guess I should have known that to turn the unit on or off, one has to slide down the button on the right side though that was never explained anywhere. That button is really small and hard to grab especially with the case on the unit. All in all, for the money it's a nifty MP3 player. No regrets.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention that if you want a large viewing screen then this is not your product as the screen is very small. But, if you really need a lightweight MP3 player that holds a ton of songs, it's great.
