That's the player I have. Really like it. Tiny, featherweight (the weight weenies will love it!

), good sound quality (Creative's sound quality is generally considered unsurpassed when it comes to mp3 players), pretty good navigation, no special software required to download/upload songs, no weird formats (Sony used to make players that would not play mp3's, only some obscure Sony format - so it had to convert every file you downloaded on it to that format). Would suggest swapping the headphones for something more stable and with better sound quality though (earbuds just don't seem to fit my ears, ever).
