Creative has released a Sleek version of its Zen MP3 player.

Headline features of the aluminium finished Zen Sleek include: 20GB storage (which equates to roughly 10,000 songs in WMA format), an FM tuner with 32 presets, a built in microphone with support for direct recording, and a newly designed LED backlit touchpad.

The Zen Sleek is described by Creative as a 'compact, high-end player', with playtimes of up to 16 hours from the rechargeable battery.

'Its combination of cutting edge design with the most advanced audio technology makes it a unique and modern statement of excellence,' said Geraldine De Bonis, Creative's European Business Manager for MP3. 'It's the player for people who want an individual product with outstanding sound.'

The Zen Sleek is priced at £199.99 including VAT and will be available on the high street before the end of July.
