Creative's first touchscreen MP3 player - but does it measure up?

The latest MP3 player to come from Creative

As a low-end MP3 player, the Creative Zen Mozaic is worth a look. Despite the American spelling, there really isn't much to dislike about this one, and there's plenty to like.

The MP3 player market is saturated. It has been for years now, with every size, price point and storage benchmark catered for amply. However, when it comes to sound quality, it's hard to find a player that really stands up to be counted. The Creative Zen X-Fi, is the new exception.

The Creative Zen Micro caused a stir when it arrived. It looks good and draws comparisons with Apple's Mini. The Micro certainly lives up to its name: it's about the same size as a pack of cards and weighs 108g

If you own a Creative Zen Plus and want to add an extra dimension to your music, this dock is the perfect solution. The TravelSound (£63 inc. VAT) is powered by mains, or four AA batteries
As the name suggests, the Muvo TX FM is more than just an MP3 player - Creative has also managed to squeeze in an FM radio along with 256Mb of flash memory. This gives you more musical choice if you are on a particularly long trip

Creative launched its Zen Vision range of portable media players earlier this year and gave the all-conquering iPod a real run for its money. The Creative Zen V Plus continues that run

We're so accustomed to Apple dominating the MP3 player market that it's difficult for other players to make an impact. However, with its 2GB of space and neat array of colours, we think Creative may be on to something with the Zen Stone Plus

Creative might be onto a good thing with its most recent players, but its names for them are only going to confuse punters. Do you want a Zen Nano, a Zen Stone, a Zen Stone Plus, a Zen Vision, a Zen Vision: M, a Zen Vision W, a Zen V or a Zen V Plus?
