    CNET Review

    August 6, 2008

    The Good: 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, and video battery life is exceptional.

    The Bad: 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 Bottom Line: 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.

    Review Summary: The Zen Mozaic fuses a mad form with some rad functions, but can it do anything to halt the imperial conquest of the iPod?

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