5 out of 5 stars A Lot of Bang for Your Buck!   December 2, 2008
Andrea McMann (Nebraska)
This mp3 player offers a lot of features in a very small and inexpensive package! My absolute favorite thing about the Zen Mozaic is the fact that it has a built-in audio speaker. I'm the mom of two young kids, so I don't want to spend extra money on docking equipment or try keeping track of my mp3 paraphernalia when I'm on the go. All I have to do is slip my Mozaic in my pocket, and I'm good to go! I can share my music with anyone, at any time! I also think the MOzaic is just plain cool looking! I love the monochromatic look that's so different from any other mp3 player out there. The price is fantastic, too! If you're looking for an easy-to-use mp3 player that's also very stylish and affordable, look no further!

Was a gift to someone else, they love it and it works great. I liked the look and it looks more rugged than regular ipods and you don't feel it is as fragile.


5 out of 5 stars I Love it!   November 13, 2008

The product comes in two days! The appearance actually looks better than the pictures online. (It's light and cute!) (At least it looks better than I expected). I'm satisfied with the quality of the sound. It's awesome. I like the overall design although the upload software isn't quite user friendly. I think with the price I paid, it's really worth it with adequate expectation. (of course, comparing the price you paid for the ipod to judge this won't be fair.)


4 out of 5 stars Exactly what I expected   November 6, 2008

Well, I received my 4gb pink Mozaic today, and I'm very happy with it :]
I once owned a Creative Zen Vision:M, 30gb, until I lost it in the gym... It was an excellent player with a few quirks (it was somewhat laggy) but quite a brick - I dropped it about 4-5x and yet it still survived.

Well, back to the Mozaic, to break it down,

Pros:
+ The player is small and unobtrusive if you want to put it in your pocket
+ The pink is a nice shade
+ Easy to navigate through the menus
+ I was able to drag and drop music directly into the player's "Music" folder on my computer and play it immediately
+ Although the shell is made of plastic, it is very, very sturdy. I feel that I could drop it several times with minimal damage (not that I'm going to test this out!)
+ The screen is bright and vivid
+ You can save up to 32 radio stations
+ Radio signal itself is alright; just make sure you have your headphones plugged in, as they act as the antenna.
+ The speaker is decent, but not up to audiophile standards (which I'm not). However, it's perfect in a pinch - if you forget your headphones, want to share music with a friend, etc.

Cons:
- I hesitate to call this a con, since the player in itself is quite small, but the buttons are tiny. Then again, we text on cell phone keys that about the same size, so it's easy to adapt to.
- Watching videos requires that you turn the player to the side. Not really a con, but just something to take note of.

I will update later after my player and I get more intimate ;p
