Audible Support for Creative Zen

Hi there,?I have just purchased Creative Zen Wav from the following site.
?http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/crea...uilt-speakers/?The device has arri'ved, the sole purpose I bought this one is to listen to Audible audio book.
There seems to be quite a lot of Creative devices on Audible's supported device list, along with the following keyword on the site. ......[*]Supported Music Services: Audible Ready.
<[/list]...... It turn out, however, that this device has not yet supported Audible audio format. I suggest Creative put a very clear keyword on the advertisement or product description (esp. on the Compare page) saying "This device DOES NOT SUPPORTED Audible audio (yet) ."???

DM,
I agree. I'm sure the other players were in the works or close to being ready to release when these came out. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I was so disappointed when the Zen Touch was not added to Audible after I was told before purchase it would be, so now I aggrevate Creative about Audible. I do hope they add Audible support to the new players. I hate that I bought the ZSP and then it won't be Audible compatible. I like the Zen Vision M.

    if i have forgot any player let me know

    I bought a USB external Surround 5. last week which had a Creative Labs sticker on it saying "Vista Ready - go to www.creative.com to download drivers". Yet having done so I discover that most of the features on the box do not work.
    I want it for 5. sound and soundfonts - but both these are missing. If these are not going to be supported (and soon!) please can Creative confirm this. Then I will take it back to the shop (PCWorld UK) and advise them that is DOES NOT DO what it says on the box. I will tell them that they should peel the stickers off - because it is clearly not true that it is Vista ready!Message Edited by markburleigh on 04-27-200704:38 PM

  • Petition | Audible support for Zen To

    Folks,
    This is a petition for Audible support for the Zen Touch with MTP/Janus firmware (2.xx). Please sign if you are interested in audible support for the Touch.
    Thanks.

    SIGNED!
    Its true the Touch could use audible support, a while ago i suggested a similar function, putting a Line-in input on a separate adapter to record to the player, but no such luck.
    It seems that Zen Touch, which is a FANTASTIC piece of hardware has been forgotten about, the recent Firmware upgrade has yielded some support back to the Touch. But as many Zen Touch users would probably agree, the support on optional hardware for the Touch has been really limited. I think before support the Zen Touch diminishes, there should be a few more upgrades made available.

  • AUDIBLE SUPPORT FOR MICRO WHEN???

    What is wrong with Creative, and not giving audible support of the creative micro. Is there any plan at all? Creative, why are you limiting the capabilities of you MP3 player? Why are you depriving your customer of have access to Audible audiobooks support? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE AUDIBLE SUPPORT FOR CREATIVE MICRO?

    It may be true that Creative did not advertise Audible support with the Zen Micro, but some of its retail partners did. Crutchfield had a special sale with a $00 discount toward a Zen Micro after subscriibing to Audible.com. Also, the main competition for the Micro is the iPod Mini, and it fully supports Audible files. I would think Creative would want to eliminate that competiti've advantage before too many people realize the only choice is to go to an iPod if they are Audible subscribers. I can't believe there is a technological barrier here, so it must be a licensing issue with Audible and other content providers such as Napster and Music Match. Why else would Creative leave us in the learch?
    Without any hope that Creative intends to provide Audible support, I think it is time to put my Micro up for sale on e-Bay switch to an iPod Mini. Apple got where it is by listening to its customers...

    Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

  • More accessories required for Creative Zen Visio

    I bought my Zen vission M about three months ago. I am very pleased I bought this versus the IPod. However I am constantly amazed at the lack of technical and product support for Creative in Australia where I li've. Sure there is a very poorly advertised creative shop in strathfield or somewhere. There are several Creative sites, many of which do not help. I also find that when I am talking to sales people even in Creative selling stores, they look at me blankly when i ask any questions on Creative products. Somehow I think the marketing guys at Creative need to get out there and contact and educate retailers on what a great competitor (only) to the Apple iPod which I personally believe is overrated and very dependant on a follow-the-masses syndrome ie. its cool to have an IPod. well after owning a Creative Vision M for nearly 3 months I reckon it is way cooler.. Only thing is that the support for it including the hard to understand zencasts without the video capacity at the moment (v.disappointing)> I really think that Creative product team and marketing need to address this otherwise they will find it hard to compete with the inferior apple iPod. Creative are shooting themselves in the foot by not lifting their game and trying to be more of a head to head competitor to Apple. Creative by the way in my opinion is much better and quality product. We just need the manufacturers and marketers of Creative to believe this and demonstrate what we the Zen play owners know...that it can beat the iPod hands down, no question about that.

  • URGENT: Any drivers for Creative Zen

    Hey, somebody.
    I've written to the support but it takes so long time so I hope someone here will answer sooner.
    I bought a new Zen V and installed all the **bleep** on the CD, after that the manual says that I sholud connect my mp3 and load it, then start to use it. My problem here is that my computer doesn't find the mp3player. The usb device can't find any drivers at all in windows, i've also tried the CD to find any drivers. Not a **bleep** there either.
    Please help me, where can I find driver to make the computer find the player. I really need to use my mp3, I have tinnitus and music is my only cure.
    Thankful for ANYthing!
    /Josefine

    joSSan: Please refrain from using profanities on this forum, as this is a public forum we try to keep clean.
    As to your problem, the drivers for the Zen V are actually built into Windows XP Service Pack & 2, so they are not on the CD. If Windows is telling you it can't find the driver, the first thing you need to check is your Service Pack.
    http://us.creative.com/support/kb/article.asp?l=3&sid=4275
    Try going through the KnowledgeBase article above, especially the "For Windows XP Users" section, as it applies to your case. One other thing you may want to try is a different USB port, preferably one on the BACK of the computer. Those ports tend to have less issues with mp3 players.
    Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

If anybody Have a solution for install my zen micro or can help me , please ... I have to buy another Mp3 Player ? This have a solution ?Thanks ,i hope that you can help me. Regards

    I updated my Firmware as stated by Creative Labs support team. I downloaded on my son's PC which has Window's XP Pro edition. Again, on his PC there is no problem with recognition of the device and/or player. However, when I plug my player into my PC which has Vista, the device manager has a "!" next to ZEN Micro Photo. So my PC "See's" the player. However, when you right click and then go to "Properties" it states that "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" Then it states to "reinstall the drivers" But when I tried to install or reinstall the "Driver" using the install wizard, I get an error message... "An error occurred during the installation of the device" and " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" Then a pop bubble appears and says "Found new hardware" You may have a problem with your device. It may not be working properly" So what do I do at this point. The only way for me currently to download music is to use my son's PC. At least I have another option... I feel sorry for the rest of you. When will creative wake up and smell the Vista!!

  • Downloads for Creative Zen mp3 player Vision: M (30

    My new Zen 6GB freezes up in mid-40 degree temperatures and won't reset. It just gets stuck, then the battery goes dead, and it wont restart until fully charged again. When it's cold I can't even reboot it with a paper clip. If I leave it in the car for more than an hour the same thing happens. Is this a known problem I never had these problems with the godawful iPod. I can't imagine it's "normal" for it to be unusable outdoors whenI bought the black Creative Zen mp3 player Vision: M (30 GB) back in August 2007, and both discs that came with product are lost, and I need to desperately replace them. I know where the download section on the Creative website is, the problem is that I do not know which two programs came with my player initially, thus I do not know what to download. Can anyone tell me the names of the discs that come with this model so I would be able to download the correct two programs Thank you kindly. John it's 5 degrees above freezing. Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure that won't work on a Mac.
    Check the install disk, it might say what systems are supported. If not, look at the files on the disk. If they're all named like PC files they're likely for a PC. If the disk has a Mac partition the files will look like they have Mac-style icons and names.
    I also note that Macs don't use an 'autoplay wizard'; that's a PC thing.

  • TV Connectivity for Creative Zen Vision M 6

    Hi all,?I'm trying to buy a new mp3 player, with some requisites. I'll use the player at home linked with my receiver as a kind of media center. I know that there's a dock station for the Zen Vision M 60GB. I saw also that there's a remote control (wired and another wireless remote I200). Is it possible to combine the dock and these remote controls to control Zen by the TV monitor? Could I see, for instance, the playlists on the tv monitor, or do I have to first choose the song or playlist in the Zen?If not, is there another company that makes something like that?I saw that the Ipod has something like that, because I have?a Denon receiver and Denon has a dock that allows al Ipod to be controlled in the tv monitor and the receiver remote control. Thanks a lot!!?RegardsAlexandre
