The battery was not the same size as the original. What this means is it doesn’t work in the player. The battery was shorter and wouldn’t make the connection, so NO POWER. Had to fold some paper and tape it on the end of the battery so it would be long enough to work.
Not quite what I ordered. They were fine about a return/refund, but that didn’t solve my battery issue, now did it?

The price was good until you factor in shipping. Battery $[...], shipping $[...]. Maybe it’s just me, but somehow this just doesn’t add up. I mean, how heavy and bulky is an MP3 battery? Let’s face it, this company is low balling the price and then adding on another 50% and calling it shipping.

Looking back I can see this whole episode was a big mistake on my part. Won’t make that one again.

Update: Osprey-Talon kept asking for info from me. I believe this was a stall tactic. They asked for info on my Creative Labs MP3 player. Then pics of the battery. Then pics of the battery in the player. I complied w/ ea of their requests, and even sent them pics of their battery side by side w/ the original Creative Labs battery. These pics made the size difference clear. I posted on ResellerRatings ([...]) to warn others and O-T counter posted saying I refused to furnish them w/ info. This was a complete lie. I find them extremely defensive and now believe they would have done nothing had I not posted both here and to ResellerRatings. After the postings they offered a partial refund, which I have now received.

I bought this a while back as a test purchase for the Zen Mosaic product line. I didn’t want to foot the bill for a higher-capacity product like the 16GB until I tried this one. Over-all, it has been an excellent purchase. The display shows the full title and album cover of the music, and it has relatively easy menu navigation. I have used this strictly for music, not pictures or video. Sound output is very strong. It’s almost too strong for headphones, being only safe for the lowest two settings. The device comes with a warning about not playing it too loud, and it’s absolutely right. On the other hand, using a line-in connection in the car, or, as I have it connected to a 2.1 speaker system right now, it provides a wonderful output, clear and strong. The lithium battery means not having to buy AAA batteries all of the time. It isn’t replaceable, but that doesn’t bother me. I’ve had this device for a while, now, and it’s still running quite well.

The headphones…well, check your ears after you use them, or you might embarass yourself when someone tells you that you’ve got little black sponges stuck in your ears. I prefer to use different headphones than the ones that came with it.

Regarding the software that came with it: I was not able to install it on my computer because I do not have higher than Windows XP without the Service Pack. I have tried to install SP2 about four times already, and it makes my computer crash every time, so this software is a no-go for me. When I try to install it, I get a message telling me to upgrade my operating system. Yeah, I’m going to upgrade my entire operating system for the sake of some bloatware…or, maybe not. I haven’t found another way to import a playlist from my computer, though Windows Media Player does sync the device quite well, otherwise.

Before buying this product, I strongly advise comparing the prices of the different MP3 player capacities of the Zen Mozaic product line. Right now, the 16GB is the best deal, and I’m going to add it to my cart just as soon as I finish typing this.
