The Creative Labs Zen Nano Plus MP3 Player

Shopping.com Tip: This Creative MP3 player features an ultra slim design and up to 18 hours of music listening. It weighs only 0.8 oz without the battery.

Like other Creative Zen MP3 players, it comes with a built-in FM tuner and voice recorder. It also has a reversible LCD display so lefties can use it easily, too.

It is flash-based, and both 512MB and 1GB versions are available. It comes in 10 colors, and has a 90dB signal-to-noise ratio and 4-band EQ for great sound quality.

In-line audio encoding, such as that offered by the Neeon, allows you to record directly from your stereo, which is a useful feature.

It connects to your PC via USB 2.0, and allows you to drag and drop music to upload it - making it simple to use.

It runs for roughly $60 to $70 for the 1GB version, making it one of the more affordable players of its class.
