Creative Zen 20GB Review
Introduction
Some time after the launch of the Zen Micro, Creative silently released a new player into the market. Unlike the huge publicity over the Zen Micro, this new player crept into stores almost unnoticed. In fact, there were a lot of rumours spreading on the Internet. Some, judging it by the size, said this new player was called the Zen Macro (Micro - Small; Macro - Big; Get it?). But it goes to show you shouldn't trust everything you read on the Internet. This mysterious new player is called the Creative Zen. Which means, without adding the brand to it, we should call it the Zen. Honestly, it sounds too weird, and for our sanity, we refer to it as the Zen 20GB for this review.
Package Contents
The Zen 20GB being the big brother of the Zen Micro, even the packaging is similar to the Zen Micro's, just bigger.

The package contents are very similar to the Zen Micro's, except, of course, everything is in black, and larger. Also, instead of a flimsy satin pouch, Creative included a tougher velvet one. The wired remote is missing, and is instead available as an optional accessory.
Here's a look at everything in the box. From left to right are: warranty information, quick start and installation CD, velvet pouch, the Zen 20GB player, AC adapter, convertible belt clip or stand, USB cable and earphones.
