Summary: Love it! It's very small and cool looking too!
Review: 256mb of mp3 music, FM tuner and voice recorder all in one compact player! What more can you ask for!I love using my player when I am working out. There are no moving parts, so I never miss a beat. When I first got my Rhomba and pluged it in, it locked up on me. So, I reset it and it has worked perfectly ever since(no firmware update required). I really like the Creative Mediasource software that is included. It is very easy to use. Overall, I would rate this a 5 out of 5 stars, But the FM tuner could use some improvement. My FM tuner has bad reception most of the time.

Summary: Creative Rhomba = Big Headache
Review: After carefully opening the player, reading the entire instruction manual and following it to the letter, the player froze up. I can not accurately describe my anger. I bought this thing because reviews said it was the most customer friendly. If it didn't cost me $125, I would have run it over with my car. Do yourself a favor, avoid the Rhomba at all costs.

Summary: New to MP3
Review: Being new to MP3s I really had no idea what to get, but after ALOT of research and questions I decided on this player. It has all the features I wanted, like the voice-recorder, and the ability to record from FM tuner (which I like the best). So many times I have heard songs on the radio and wished to record them, now i can with just a simple push of a button. The workings of this player took some time to figure out, but i think i have it down, without the help of a manual or instructions. This player is really VERY easy to use. The Creative MediaSource software is GREAT!! Makes it super easy to transfer tracks to and from the player. Also nice for converting files to different formats for recording. I've even played my DVD movies on my computer with it (great pic and sound quality). I have only had this player for about a month but have used it often and tested all of the features more than once. No problems so far (knock on wood). All-in-all this player is super "user-friendly", even for 'Newbies' like me. It's sleek, small, has a very readable back-lit display (adjustable), nice buttons, and great sound quality (i've hooked it up to external speakers and couldn't believe how loud i put it before any distortion).
There is so much more i could say, could rave for days, but they only give so much room for the review.

Summary: not a bad unit
Review: I am just getting a kick that so many still complaining about one side of the head phone cord is longer than the other.. IT'S MEANT TO BE THAT WAY!!!! you wear it behind your neck, one side should be longer than the other. This is multifunctional unit that works quite well. I just wish it had a better battery life.

Summary: This product put me in a BAD mood
Review: I bought the 256 mb version at Fry's Electronics. I'm returning it tomorrow to get a different brand. I unpacked the contents and discovered the headphone lines for the left and right ear buds were extemely disproportional. Literally, the cable going to the right earbud is 12 inches longer than the cable to the left earbud! Ok- when the most basic item, such as headphones, is manufactured that poorly and with so little quality control, I can't help but question the quality control for the rest of the product. Well, it turns out, based on the following experience, that there probably is just as little QC for even the device itself. Keep in mind, everything that follows was done as instructed by the manual. I installed the cd, restarted my computer, then connected the player to my computer(a new computer- has Win XP Home Edition) via the provided USB cable. Next, a little pop-up on the computer screen showed a message from Windows that basically said there was an external device detected that was corrupt. The manual said that once you connect the USB from computer to the device, the device should start to show the battery charge level. Instead, what appears is "Record empty" and some other letters and symbols that are not indicated in the manual. The device basically froze up. I could not get it out of that display. It's disappointing b/c it had all the features I wanted: radio, data and mp3 storage, voice recording, large display, lightweight, a "rechargeable" battery. Can't comment on the sound obviously-- it never worked. Now I've got my focus on the TDK Mojo or iAUDIO CW300. If I experience probs with one of those, I'm going to give up on these small-time players and just fork over the money for the dependable iRiver or iPOD.

Summary: Nice....!
Review: I bought this awesome c00l-l00kinG mp3 player a week ago.
However, when i bought this player the radio did not work. So i went to download the firmware from the creative website. BIG MISTAKE. After I download the firmware, the player turned off and i could not get it to work. I went to seek help at the creative headquartersand they agreed to change a new one for me.
However, i suspect that it was a refurbnished product as u could see some scratches on the screen. Nevertheless, I found out that u can get rid of those scratches by cleanin it with a tissue paper(dry) while applying a small force.
Since that day, I started learnin how to use the player.I found out that the player works best when u compress them at 56 kbps. Any lower n u can sense a difference in the quality. I prefer 2 view the visualiser usin the 'level' mode.I suggest u get a new headphones as the free ones are a little too big for comfort n they also leak the sound. To get the best out of the fm radio, put the fm region to europe in order to get more precise frequency.U also can add folders into the mp3 player. The player also come with a neck strap. In short, I simply Loved tis AWESOME player!!!!!

Summary: Don't buy this piece of crap
Review: I bought this piece of crap and found out it's not compatible with tracks which are downloaded in DRM (Digital Rights Management) format which 6 out of 6 songs I downloaded from Napster were in. So, I have basically a $200 radio. Worthless. DO NOT BUY!!!

Summary: Creative could be creative
Review: I bought this player for my nephew(age15) one year ago. After the first month it wouldn't work. called and they refused a new one, only rebuilt. OK. Sent it back and 4 1/2 months later it stopped playing again. They refused him any replacement, partial payment to fix it, no solution to the problem. I am sitting here with this $179.MP3 player that doesn't work, that I can now get for $119 and am not sure what to do with it. Do I throw it away, can it be fixed(again). I would not buy any Creative product again. EVER

Summary: Very good Rhomba mp3 player!!!!
Review: I chose this over any other gadget as it is a good make,has lots of features,great sound quality,small and light, and i can use it in my lessons and wont get noticed as it is so small. The sound quality is brilliant,same for the lcd screen and is an all round good mp3 player, I was scared off the apple ipod, as it is so expensive,quite large,and a lot of people that have bought the ipod have complained about the battery power, and some brake just outside there warrenty, also if the ipod gets nicked or falls on the floor and brakes youve just lost a lot of money!!!

Summary: Ideal for its use
Review: I have had the Rhomba now for about 8 months and I am very happy with it. There was a problem after about 3 months but after some intense convosations with creative's customer support and online assitance I upgraded the firmware and have had no problems.
It can hold enough wma for my needs. It is small enough to go running with (the reason I chose it in the first place). I have a couple of issues with it which would not have stopped me buying it. but may be of concen.
Power> power display on the screen bares little relation to the power held in the unit. It never appears to go below about 60% power but has run dry several times. I would (in restrospect) have prefered to have a battery powered as if you don' have a PC around with a USB port, you can be kinda stuck. perhaps someone will come up with a power supply cable which goes straight to a USB conector from an AC source (with whatever voltage they need)
radio > when this works it is great.. sadly to get it to work i need to heavily flick the unit a few times. OK not best practace!
But as I said do have a small MP3 player which works with WMA and is easy to use I have been very happy with this unit.
