Title: Bad software, doesn't work with USB 1.1
Product review: I bought a Nomad Zen for use with my Windows 98 powered PC, which is about two years old. It's too old to use with this product, unfortunately. The PlayCenter software continually crashes, I've installed and uninstalled and been with technical support for Creative on several occasions, and after a week, I've given up.I'm sure this is a marvelous piece of equipment if you have a PC that has USB 2.0 or Firewire, but even though it says it is USB 1.1 compatible, it's not.Besides the system crashes, my Zen also experienced very odd skips in songs, plus songs would start and others would take over, and the shuffle play feature played the same 10 songs over and over, despite the fact that I had over 200 loaded on.Besides that, the PlayCenter software that comes with the Zen is barely adequate, and Creative's tech support, while trying to be helpful, ultimately isn't.I recommend checking out the Ipod instead.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
