description Creative Zen Sleek Overview
The Creative ZEN Sleek is a portable digital audio player released by Creative Technology in 2005. It stores music on an internal hard disk and uses a horizontal touch-sensitive control pad for browsing tracks and menus. Its metal-bodied design and relatively large local library capacity place it among the hard-drive players that competed with early iPod models before flash storage became common in higher-capacity devices.
