Can someone answer these lovely question about the Zen Vision: M plz

I know we don't know much yet, so from what what we know, can someone answer me?
Or can a mod?
. Will it have the same crap firmware in every Zen mp3 player (Sorry to call it that, but it's my personal opinion)? The main reason I changed to an Ipod was the firmware of the Zen Xtra :\. I loved it, loved the sound quality, but then... I have no need for file manipulation on the mp3 player itself, and it presented a problem. All that added crap made you click 6 times just to play one song!
And then you had to add an album to your playlist to get it to play...
After awhile, it drove me nuts... I wanted something simple, I just wanted to play my music, not shuffle thru a bunch of crap to get there!, and went for an Ipod.
I dunno... one of the reasons I'm liking the look of this is that it copies the Ipod firmware. It seems Creative now knows what it's doing... Or does it's Is the copied part only the front, and I would have to click 6 times to play one song? I must know.
2. Will it have all the extras of an Ipod, games, contacts, calender, notes, etc? FM radio is a plus.
3. What is the sound quality on this one?
4. Will this one... have a headphone jack problem while I own it's Don't take this last question seriously... Or do :X

Actually seeing as Creative's firmware came first it would seem Apple copied Creative. The iPod firmware and library manipulation is very similar to the Creative players, having played briefly with an iPod.
Also you talked before about the difficulty with queuing a track, but couldn't describe a better system. Can you explain how the iPod makes it easier? I don't see any way Creative can make it quicker. You need to access the album/artist, then press the play button. Job done.
2. Will it have all the extras of an Ipod, games, contacts, calender, notes, etc? FM radio is a plus.
I doubt games and notes, we've never had anything like this to-date.
A Mod or owner can tell you for sure of course.
3. What is the sound quality on this one?
SnR is allegedly 97dB. Of course the subjecti've sound quality is one for the users to debate when there are shipping and several folks here at least have one. I doubt a Mod can tell you anything different.
4. Will this one... have a headphone jack problem while I own it's Don't take this last question seriously... Or do :X
If Creative haven't learned their lesson from the Micro and Xtra, well...

Newbie question about the Zen Vision M, uploading D

If I want to put one of my DVD movies on the Zen, is this easy to do? How long does it take?

I'm afraid we cannot allow discussion on how to rip/copy protected DVDs.
I'll leave this thread open for now in case anyone has other (legal) information to add, but any information on ripping protected will be removed.

Two questions about the Zen Vision:M (30

Just a couple of questions...
. When I'm ripping CDs to the player, sometimes it doesn't finish - the last song doesn't go on. I've gotten around this by ripping the song to my computer and then onto the player from there, but it's just a bit annoying. Is there any reason that this should happen and what can I do?
<strike>2. Is there any way to edit the tag information of a group of songs together once they're on the player? Change the genre of an entire album, for example. I'm sure I was able to do it before, but I can't any more.</strike> - Ignore this one, got it! Duh!Message Edited by eruanna on 02-25-200706:5 AM

3. I already gave you a link in a previous question to a thread all about this. Please don't post duplicate questions.

About the Zen: Vision M 30gb

im very dissapointed in the creative mp3 players. i brought one last month was inpressed with it, that it played my music well. battery good on it and the sound is great, then i thought Oooo it would be nice to get a docking station with speakers on the side.
so here i go down my elecrial shop ( currys, Argos, comet, asda) they all say fits ipods, mp3 player.i was like ok cool
So take my mp3 player with me to see if thy fit in the docking, ohhh no. none of them fit, there all FIT IPODS!!! OH **bleep** GOD (sorry about that)
even tho on the packaging it says fits all mp3, Well hellllloooo it dont, only fits ipods.
so got me mad as it be nice to have bit music in back ground playing games or chatting etc...
so i was thinking here i am wasted nearly £100 pounds on a mp3 player and no docking station with speaker that fits it..
only want a small,stylish good price, for my mp3..
would be Really good help if some one out there to help me... all the ones i've seen in the shops dont fit zen m

Hi, there is a dock for the Zen Vision M, i just bought one from the Creative site, but they are very very hard to get hold of. Here is a link to the website, just keep returning to this page every couple of days and you might get lucky. Be warned they cost ?50, but? sound AMAZING.

As i said, they are hard to come by, but keep checking

Quiestion about the Zen Vision M Tv feat

what the heck is that litle "TV" tab under VIDEOS menu in the Zen Vision M for?
please answer, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For TV shows, Like if you had some in your WMP library, they would/should go there. Obviously no need to put emphasis on Videos, since it's obvious it's for tv related videos, and not an actual tv tuner.

Some questions about the zen visio

Hi everyone ! Im from spain and I have just bought the player one week ago. I have just two questions. The first is if it is possible to connect the player to the computer and the wall socket at the same time (because its really slow charging by usb) and if it does not damge the player. The second question is about the rating system, I find it really interesting but I miss I can do something with it ! I mean there should be another one inside DJ mode to play songs with 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars, 4 or more stars, etc... That would be really fantastic !! And also is it possible to manage the ratings with teh creative media source organizer? I suppose that no because I didn?t find the option... Ok that's all thank you for your help, and what a great player !!

You can connect to a home stereo using a stereo miniplug (your headphone connector) to RCA adapter. these are available at any electronics store. you plug the 2 rca plugs into an auxiliary input on your receicver. to play in your car, you can use an fm transmitter. check out my post on accessories, it talks about one i didnt like and the one i replaced it with...
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=2079
there is nothing special about ipods, they cant do anything that a creative player cant. in fact, some would argue that creative's do more! but connectivity to any type of stereo system is uni'versal

A few questions about the Zen Mi

I'm looking into the Zen Micro 5GB, and I have a few questions that I couldn't find on the sight or aren't completely sure of. Sorry if I'm just blind and didn't see them, but I figured you guys could help.
) How do you charge the battery? I'm assuming its with some sort of adapter, and if so, is it included with the player?
2) It says Windows 98SE is compatible, so does this mean regular Windows 98 won't work at all? I'm currently using W98 but will probably be upgrading soon so it chouldn't be too much of a problem, but if W98 is supported I could order it sooner.
3) Will it work in tandem with a cassette adapter for a car? A cassette adapter isn't on the accessories page, but will one I already own work just fine?
Those are all I can think of right now, thanks in advance for your help, and feel free to leave any comments about the player that any of you have.

the headphone jack problem is not really fixed. If you rather not have it happen to early, i would suggest you take really good care of your ZM's headphone jack. Just take good care of it. But the headphone jack problem may occur at any point, i dunno why. it is very strange, some owners are lucky that the problem will occur in 6-2 months or maybe not at all for now. There are some owners that are unlucky that the problem may occurred like 2 weeks to couople months. I am currently trying to take really good care of my ZM after all the great lessons i learned from my previous mp3 players.
the headphone jack problem isn't fix, so be cautious a bit.

I have some questions about the Zen Mic

I was wondering if the Creative Zen Micro has some of the same capabilities of the Apple Ipod. A lot of my friends have Ipods' and I know from them that you can actually plug the Ipod into a stereo and it will play songs. Can the Zen Micro do that? do you know of any connections needed? Also, i know the Ipod can get a connection which allows it to tune into blank radio stations. With this a person can get onto the same radio station through the Mp3 player and play their music, which allows them to play their Mp3 player in their cars or again on a stereo. Is there any way I can play my Zen Micro in my car without getting sperate speakers? Please help!
Thank you

Just 5 questions about the Zen Micro Ph

HiJust 5 Q's about that player which i hope i get clear answers 4 'emcan i buy the charger designed for the original Zen Micro 2 be used with this player? if not, is there an additional charger i can buy ?2) How much time it takes the player 2 charge from the USB port and how much does it take in case of using a charger?3) Can i simply plug the player in my PC's USB and boot up windows XP 2 see the player simply as an additional dri've without the need of any special drivers or programs so that i transfer files between my PC and the player with simple drag and dropping4) Can i transfer non-media files (books - programs...etc) using the same method in question 3 without having 2 set up first a dedicated space on the player 4 receiving such files (<--- This is the way which has 2 be done with the old Zen Micros)5) Any dedicated volume control on it yet or it still misses it like old Zen Micros ?THANKS A LOT

Hi Catherina - thx 4 the reply but yr answer implies that the old Zen Micro can be seen in windows explorer directly as an additonal dri've and this contradicts all the reviews i have read about that in order to transfer non-media files to the player, i have 2 either use the bundled program "Zen Media Explorer" or the firmware itself (in case i am not allowed 2 install software on some computer i wanna transfer files from or to) but i was speaking about plugging the player simply in the USB to be detected by XP, assigned to it a dri've letter and then i can start copying files from/to it right away without any additional extra software installed or anything i must configure on the player itself. IMHO, this is how the MP3 players should behave 4 extra simplicity and ease of use
SUGGESTION: can u plz make video clips showing how 2 use the player in all aspects. I have seen that with the iri'ver players where some people (i am not sure if those people are the guys @ iri'ver themselves or just some fans) have posted numerous video clips showing the iri'ver player in all aspects so the end user like me feel like he is using the player in his hands even if he/she hasn't purchased it yet - something that will be very effecti've on people's decision purchase. Wish to see video clips showing all aspects of the Zen Micro player and may be other players
Here is the site i was talking about: www.misticri'ver.net

Many questions about the Zen Xtra 30

I have 4 questions: . Do you have to use EAX to have your songs play at the same sound level?
I was reading somewhere(dont remember, I think the online product manual) and it said if you use the EAX technology, then your songs will all play at the same sound on the Zen, rather than depend on how the sound level was at when the song was recorded. I dont have the right sound card, so I cant use EAX.
2. Does the Zen make any sounds when you push any of the buttons?
I plan on using this during study hall and i dont want some beep to get me caught.
3. Can you delete songs off the Zen without loading them back onto a computer?
3.5 If you can delete a song without a computer, does the Zen recycle the space into free space?
4.Where do you get your music from online?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

.) The EAX function on the Xtra has an option to limit sound volume for all songs when enabled. I found this to be useful when listening late at night (so loud drum clashes aren't louder than everything else, for example)... I'm not sure I fully understand your question but I hope that answered it.
2.) It does not make any noise when clicking the buttons. It's pretty silent; you can only notice light "clicks" from button pushing if the room is completely silent and you listen very closely. The clicks from depressing the buttons surely won't disturb anyone around you, though.
3.) Yes.
3.5.) When it's deleted, it's erased... so you'll have the amount of free space as if the song wasn't there in the first place.
4.) I have my methods... Mostly a technique of getting MP3's from my Real Rhapsody subscription, though

Questions about the Zen TO

i am planning to buy the zen touch because its cheap and a good value, but however, the lack of accessories scares me a little. Will creative design a case especially for it, because its really not comfortable taking it out and putting it back in with the included case, creative needs to make a case that allows users to use the touch without taking it out. I heard creative is going to release a brand new firmware for the touch, i really think the folks at creative need to bring back the eax feature, the calendar just like the old zen xtra.
Here are my questions though,
If i buy the fm wired remote for the touch, will that activate the eax function,
also is there any docks availible for the zen touch, i read somewhere that the belkin dock for dell dj is compatible with the touch, i just want to confirm with the creative staff that this is compatible so it doesnt destroy my touch when i buy it.
Thanks for any replies,
Sergey

Spetznaz24,
The FM Wired Remote will not activate EAX on the Zen Touch. This has to be incorporated directly into the player and it is not at this time. I do not have any information on new cases however I will pass your case suggestion on. I also cannot guarantee anything about 3rd party adaptors made for other products.

Questions about the zen micro leather case???

hey everyone,
i saw the pictures of the zen micro leather case in the US store and was going to get them until i heard that the case is quite useless and annoying with the two-way flap open. Do you still think i should get them or a diiferent one(im DESPERATE to get one!!)
thanks everyone.

There are several designs out there including... the flexi-skin (at Boxwave.com as well as eBay), Noreve's, Krussell's?and Vaja. It really comes down to what you want from a case. I've gone for a flexi-skin as I want easy access to the controls, and I kept my screen protector (but screen protectors are easy enough to buy).

Ok. quick and easy question about my Zen Vision

i'm thinking that my zen can no longer have anything added to it, although there is about 5 gbs worth of space left. it sucks has sucked for a while, but i'm trying to get over it.
my brother noticed that in the bottom of it, the part where it connects so you can make transfers and stuff, is bent. i tried unbending it but that didn't work.
and when i connect it to my comp, it says "overload" and my comp freezes for a bit.
so that's a sign to get another mp3 player right? it's a shame that this happened. he thinks i was too rough with it.
i admit that i have spent some time pushing it in when it wasn't properly fitting. but i didn't "see" it then. now looking back, i kinda laugh.
btw, there are no shops around here to repair the bend to the best of my knowledge..actually, maybe Weiss Hardware...just maybe.

Yes. LOL You word it so much nicer!
lol...
if customer support actually does help, for a nice price, you will be -my new saviour-!
(My music is literally my life.)
OK. I checked there. They have an option of support (while the warranty is still good) and another option (that's non-technical).
I got my first Zen Vision (30 GB) March 2007. Then a replacement (this one) in May 2007. Is it still covered? I have my doubts. :P?

Quesiton about the Zen Vision Mi

Hi there, my question is about the actually dimension of the video. Let's say you had like some anime that you wanted to watch and it was avi format. Could I just upload it too the vision and it would play it at a shrinked size, or would I have to download a program to convert it to smaller dimensions?

it will play at an adjusted size on the vision:m. i just drag and drop all my movies regardless the resolution.

Can someone answer these lovely question about the Zen Vision: M plz
