A Creative Zen MP3 Player which can work on Windows 2

Hi,
I am wanting to get a Creative Zen MP3 player (or two) which can work with Microsoft Windows 2000. I want to put a number of podcasts on it as well as some music. Unfortunately my PCs are all Windows 2000 and it is not worth my while upgrading.
Now I think that some of the Creative Zen Micro units used to work on 2000. But later versions after firmware upgrades only work on XP. How can I get the right working units?

You can try to get some old Zen players.All new Zen players need at least Windows XP to work and sometimes even the last service pack. If you know that the Zen Micro works on Windows 2000 with a previous firmware, I think that you can find easily on the web this firmware or simply ask to Creative.

Use Creative Zen mp3 player

Hi! Is is possible to connect Creative Zen mp3 player to the I tunes and import the mp3 music over to the Creative?

Jonas, probably not. See this link from Scott Patrie & Hudgie for a further explanation.

I forgot to charge my Creative Zen mp3 player fully before first using it

I forgot to charge my Creative Zen mp3 player fully before first using it, and started syncing music onto it while it was charging for the first time. How much damage do you think this would have caused, and is there anything I can do to correct my mistake?Thanks.

I didn't fully charge my player the first time I used it and it works fine. The battery life seems to be on par with everyone else's. Also if you just plugged it into the computer and started syncing music you don't have anything to worry about. Even though you were syncing music you were still charging and not depleting the battery. I think the recommendation means that you don't "use" the player meaning unplug it from your computer with only a half charge and then run the battery out. Anyways, your player will be just fine.

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.

My Creative Zen MP3 player won't sta

Hi. I just got my mp3 player and now I'm having problems with turning it on. I've done everything that the usermanual says, but everytime I plug it out from the charger, it won't start. I charged it for 2 hours, like the book says, but it still won't start. Is there someting I can do that the manual doesn't say anything about?

I had the similar experience and this is what I wrote in the previous post._______________________________I purchased my Zen Vison M last night and plugged into a computer USB port to start charging (after installing the software, of course). The charging was very very slow - after 3 hours of charging the unit still won't turn on. I then went to RadioShack and purchased an A/C adapter, set it to 5V (2A capacity) and used it to charge the unit. Within 2-3 hours, the Vision M was almost fully charged. I then updated the firmware. The unit is fully charged now. I am so pleased with this purchase. Hope this experience helps you. Good luck.

Creative Digital Mp3 Player Questions

What type of USB connector does this Mp3 Player use?

Trenzterra,
CBR encoding means that you encode a file at a fixed rate, such as 28 Kpbs. For many people this is a common method of encoding MP3s. You can usually tell CBR files because they have consistent file sizes and sound quality.
VBR encoding is a method that ensures high audio quality bit-allocation decisions during encoding. The encoder allocates an appropriate amount of data per second, depending on the complexity of the audio file.
If there are very complex parts in a song it will use a quite high bit rate and a lower bitrate for something such as silence. The average bit rate may not be as high as the bitrate of an MP3 of the same quality with constant bitrate CBR.

Trying to install software for Creative "Zen" MP3 player

I can't find anywhere on the documentation that this is a PC only device, but I am having trouble installing the software to get our MP3 players started. I can see the CD and it's files once I have loaded it, but it does not take me to the Autoplay wizard to get things started. Any tips????

I'm pretty sure that won't work on a Mac.

Creative Rhomba mp3 player firmware problem
I have already tried moving the Hold button to the On position. The display Checking System message appears but now after 8+ hours nothing more has happened. I'm sure it shouldn't take this long for a format/resetting to complete.
What can I do to resolve this issue?
BigWorm :angry:

I have a Rhomba 256. One week out of warranty it developed the problem described above. I cannot succesfully reformat as I get a bad block error. Creative support confirm that it is probably a hardware problem. They offered to replace it for half of what it cost originally. This player was treated lovingly and never abused or mishandled. I think it is outrageous that it broke so soon. It is especially upsetting as it was only one week out of warranty.
I refuse to pay to have it fixed or replaced. So, I have decided to upgrade. I researched all makes of player and have decided that I will NEVER buy Creative again. Looking through the forum here, I see so many faults and problems that are more than user incompetence. This, other forums and personal experience confirm to me that there is definitely a lack of robustness in the software and hardware design of Creative players.
I have opted for an iri'ver H320 which, so far, has proved to be excellent in every way. It has features and an ease of use missing in Creative players of the same spec. The iri'ver user forums (http://www.misticri'ver.net/boards/) are extensi've and devote most of their time to dealing with features and learning and not tales of woe due to hardware problems. iri'ver may be a bit more expensi've, but I think it is well worth it.
Goodbye forever,Creative and good luck to all you have bought their players. I hope your experience is better than mine. If you haven't purchased a player yet, my advice is to look to other manufacturers.
