Zen Mozaic 2GB

With its checkered, multihued design, Creative Zen's Mozaic looks pretty slick. Regrettably, this flash-based media player (which is available in black, gray, or pink) is stronger on style than on substance. I found its buttons unintuitive and its...

Includes external speakers Offers a nice array of features

Buttons are small Video playback can be awkward

Overall, the Mozaic is a solid offering at a good price, but you may have to do some fiddling to get its features to operate smoothly

Creative ZEN Mozaic

The cute Creative Zen Mozaic offers plenty of features for its price, but don't expect the cool design to extend to its user interface.

Very affordable. Good-looking, interesting design. FM radio with 32 presets. Voice recorder.

Unintuitive, clunky user interface. Included earbuds are subpar.

Creative Zen Mozaic review: Creative Zen Mozaic

Creative Zen Mozaic

The Creative Zen Mozaic offers a unique design, great sound quality, and a sweet, customizable interface. It's packed with features such as an FM radio, a voice recorder, a built-in speaker, and photo and video support. The player is also a good value,...

The Zen Mozaic lacks dedicated volume controls and it only works with Windows XP and Vista. Videos must be transcoded with the included software.

The Creative Zen Mozaic offers great bang for your buck as far as MP3 players go: get super sound quality, a boatload of features, and a cool interface--all wrapped in a funky design at an ultralow price.

The Best Affordable Multimedia Player

If you were trying to generate some interest in a new multimedia player, what would you concentrate on? Maybe a bigger and brighter screen, more storage space for extra songs, improved sound quality, or a price that goes easy on your pocket. All of...

Creative Zen Mozaic Review

Another Zen? Sure why not. Creative's shotgun approach to product lines has spawned a new, yet very familiar, Zen. The Zen Mozaic is a blend of Zen V Plus and the Zen WAV. It takes all the features of the Zen V Plus and mashed it up with the external...

Take the Zen WAV and the Zen V Plus, smash them together and you get the Zen Mozaic. While there is nothing new or innovating about the Mozaic, there are moderate improvements in build-quality and design. On the downside, the OLED screen will not...

Creative ZEN Mosaic EZ300

Sturdy body, decent integrated speaker, acceptable bundled earphones

Confusing controls, outdated and ugly interface

If you're looking for a cheap MP3 player from a well-known brand, the Creative Mosaic EZ300 is an option. It is not one we would recommend though, with few quantifiable improvements over the earlier ZEN Mosaic and a feature list that looks markedly...

Creative Zen Mozaic 4GB

Could be better designed

FM radio, built-in microphone, built-in speaker, can be used effectively as an alarm clock

Its design makes it uncomfortable to use, its buttons sometimes need more than one push to work

We love the functionality of this player, but its design isn't particularly good. We much prefer the bigger Zen to the Zen Mozaic.

Creative Zen Mozaic 2GB

Creative brings a stylish new MP3 player to market at an attractive price.

But as with the Philips player, it soon becomes clear that video is of limited use on a screen this size. The resolution is even lower than that supported by the Philips, and format support is very limited – the Mozaic will only play back AVI Motion...
