Absolutely do not buy this device

I have owned Creative products before, and have generally been happy with them: I have a MuVo I have been using for about five years, and have Soundblaster Audigy cards in my machines at home.The Portable Media Center is a bad effort by Creative, and for several reasons:1) It has a nice screen, and if you play WMA files with album art, the art displays.However, if you have MP3s with album art, forget it.I tried to get Creative's help with this, and got nowhere.2) Some MP3 files will not play at...

Owned this for 2 years now - still works great

I bought this for my autistic son for christmas two years ago. I wasn't sure about it then but it still works fine two years later. My son is rough with this player and it can take a licking and keep on ticking. He loves music and I've loaded disney pictures and family pictures on it as well as a favorite video on it. (getting the video on it was the most difficult). Keith has been able to manuever through all the different songs and he figured out how to get the picture slide show to play while...

Excellent product

Terrific product.I recently bought one on eBay and I love it.I read a lot of the reviews here to help make the decision and found them very helpful. It hooks up very easily with Windows Media Player and is simple to use.I tried out a lot of programs to transfer DVDs and I found the best one to be the CloneDVD Mobile program.I have been transferring a lot of my DVD collection to a format of 320x240 and vary the size of the file to around 700MB.I've also put a lot of the videos I have downloaded from...

Very good product

I own a Media Center and I added this to watch programs. The product works great: excellent battery life, outstanding sound and nice screen output. Software is easy and user friendly and sync seamingless with my desktop Media Center. Easy to send audio to other devices (cars, home teathers, etc.)The Cons that I found on this product are:1. Unable to program your own playlist or to create them inside the PMCE. If its possible...not so easy to find out how.2. You need third party software to convert...

When it works it's good

Last Saturday I bought one and after a couple of days the built-in speaker broke down. So I brought it back, my new one didn't work at all didn't recharge or anything so I brought it back and the latest that I have works but there was no battery in the box. But after reading other reviews I saw that there were not reallt problems with broken PMC's so probably the store sold used player because the boxes were not new and already opened. But in the time it worked I enjoyed it and I like it very much...
