I bought this one in late 2005 and used it for about 1,5 year until the hard drive broke in 2007. I kept it in a drawer for almost 2 years until I read about a CF card mod and tried it out. Now I have a working Creative Zen Touch again!
As most older HDD based DAP:s, the Zen Touch is a bit bulky. The UI is simple but gets the work done. The only thing that really bothers me is the touchpad. Even at the lowest sensitivity setting it can be too sensitive.
It sounds nice, at least on par with the Vision: M and better than the newer Creative MP3 players when using EQ.
This might not be the choice for someone who wants a good MP3 player in the year 2010. It is probably more something for those of us who are collectors or want to try out older models.
If you have heard newer Creative mp3 players and think they do not sound good, and you find a used Zen Touch cheap - try it out!
