Creative ZEN X-Fi will launch in mid-July

I wonder why the X-Fi tag was earned by Creative’s media player.

The answer to the poetic question posed in the introduction is the knowledge of Xtreme Fidelity technology, which - in short - seeks to improve the sound quality of lossy compressed music files. Now that we know why Creative stuck the X-Fi brand name behind the ZEN "word", it's time to get to know the specifications of the media player.
