Creative has added a new entry-level model to its portable audio player line-up with the ZEN MX. Available in models with 8GB or 16GB of internal memory, the new players look largely like the company’s current ZEN players with detail changes to the control button layout. The same 2.5-inch LCD display with 320×240 resolution remains. Supported audio files include MP3, WMA (with DRM) and Audible 4. As for videos, only Creative’s proprietary video-CMV format is compatible. Creative did include its Creative Centrale software that will convert videos into the format, however….
At the same time, Creative announced its flagship portable multimedia player, the ZEN X-Fi, will get a price cut on April 28. The 32GB model will be reduced by the equivalent of $21 to $290, the 16GB by $42 to $196 and the 8GB by $21 to $144.
