"Destination Transfer" but

Question

Can Somebody Tell Me where the Destination Button is on the Organizer. I got through all the steps (I think) and can't find it. I can't transfer all the darn music I have transferred to my pc.

Answer 1

Well, my son purchased his Zen Extra yesterday - phoned me at my office to tell me he couldn't figure out how to transfer from his computer to the device. "Can't be that difficult" I think to myslef. "I'll be home this evening, we'll figure it out," I replied.
After 45 minutes of messing with the software, I hadn't figured it out, either - decided to look online for advice/experience from others - kept seeing the same uninformati've (but as it turns out, accurate) answer.
The problem here, is that the "Destination Transfer" button is one of the few items on that screen that you can hover over with your mouse and not get a description of its name or function. Also, the "step-by-step" instruction explain everything neede to move the contents of a CD onto your hard dri've, but then, mysteriously, cut short the description of how, exactly, you move those contents onto the device.
The "destination transfer" button is nothing more than the two arrows that reside between the two "explorer" panes. The key to getting ripped material onto the device (after having ripped your files which now appear in the right hand pane) is to treat the upper left hand corner of the screen like a windows exporer tool (which it is), and to select the Zen Extra so as to open its content list in the left hand pane (if you have yet to transfer any files to the Zen, the only files showing will be the demo files that were pre-loaded onto the unit prior to deli'very). Once that pane is properly displayed, the "Destination Transfer" button (really two buttons, one an arrow pointing right, the other pointing left) that points left into the Zen contents pane, once pressed, will start the process of transferring all files in the right pane (your computer's hard dri've) to the left pane (the Zen).
It's so simple I could kick myself - good thing the writer of the documentation isn't around, 'cause I'd kick hem/her, too.
It's so simple, but so poorly documented. The documentation simply leaves out the part about moving the audio contents back to that left hand pane.
My son was about to give up on the device - I'll just take it back and but the Apple, even though it has less capacity.
The device, itself is fairly straigh-forward - a hard dri've in a compact case with external controls and rechargeable battery. The software "ain't" too complicated, either. Too bad the documentation is so lame that many otherwise happy end-users will be tempted to return their purchase because "operating" it is too complicated.
Shame on those who wrote/approved this documentation.
