Differences Zen NX, Zen Touch and Zen 2

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the main differences are between the Zen NX, The Zen touch and the Zen 20GB? I've been looking into these three models for a while now, but haven't found any major differences. My main goal is to have my entire music collection on the player, and I would like to be able to sort my music on genre or in playlists. But as far as I know, all of the players I just named are able to do that. Which one would be the best one to go for?
Thanks,
Peter

What is the difference between the iPod Touch and the iPod Touch MP3 ?

What is the difference between the iPod Touch and the iPod Touch MP3 ?

There is no iPod touch designated as the "iPod Touch MP3". If you've seen that listed somewhere, it's just a rather misleading title given by the dealer or web site, not an Apple product name.

EXSPECT Zen Touch and Zen Micro skins latest arrival date i

I spoke to a lovely lady at Exspect today and she confirmed that the Amazon uk info is incorrect. The first batch are due to arri've in the UK on the 27th of this month and therefore will not be available until the first or most likely second week in June.
So that is later than the May deadline mentioned previously on this forum. But she said that because it is their first batch, that Exspect want to make sure they are 50% Quality checked. They look way cool and come with a lanyard

Mrspike
I tried typing in a US address in my amazon.uk account to see if it would allow an order for the skins to the US. Regrettably they count this as an electrical item and they will only ship book, dvd,cd items to America, sorry. Its really stupid but thats amazon for you!
I searched through the other shops on the Exspect website and HMV will send stuff to America (and most places) no problem. But I don't know if they will have this item available for order online it may be inshop only. HMV international info page link b?low

Diffrences between ZEN NANO and ZEN NANO P

HI ! What would be the differences between the creative mp3 player
Zen Nano
and
Zen Nano Plus ?
Do they both have radio FM ?


Be Grateful if you could help me.
Claudia

The real differences between the two models are that the Nano Plus has a Line In connector for line in encoding, and it has an FM radio with the ability to record from the radio.

Creative ZEN TOUCH and Macs, plz h

Hi,
I am considering buying a Creative Zen Touch and would like some help
I was wondering if anyone could answer this for me, and yes, I have the read the FAQ and about Macs and how it isnt officially supported, yada yada
What I would like to know is, I have a PC at home which I will use to transfer music
HOWEVER
At Uni'versity, I am forced to use a Mac computer. What I want to know is, I would like to use the Zen Touch as a portable hard dri've so I can copy my homework (not mp3s, but school work) on to the Zen Touch, then go to Uni'versity, plug in the mp3 player into the Mac and access my DATA files from the Mac WITHOUT having to install any software (i.e. plug n play)
Thanks,

peterh85,
I'm afraid you can't. The player will need driver and application installed in order to link up with the computer for file transfer. Even when MTP firmware is available, you will need to be using Windows XP and Window Media Player 0 to interact with the player.

Develop software for connecting to creative zen touch and other devices not recognized by wind

hi there,
as a programmer i wonder, is it possible to obtain information of how to connect to usb-connected creative device (which is not recognized automatically by windows, as the zen touch) and how to communicate with it's is there any documentation about that available to "non-creative" ;-) developers?
the idea is to create a plugin (e.g. for musikcube) that enables the programm to access the files on the device.
i know there are third party companies that do provide software for connecting to e.g. zen touch, but i do not think that they have figured out every little bit by themselves, have they?
greetings and thanks a lot
asdf

Try this:
Download <a href='http://www.delldjsite.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=444' target=_blank>this[/url] file. Extract it to whatever folder you like. Inside that folder run the file fixup.cmd. A DOS window will open up and start display messages on what its doing, when its done it will instruct you to remove the device from Device Manager and reconnect it.
Try this and see if it works.

Problems with Zen Touch and MediaSou

I have a Zen Touch and I'm trying to figure out how to easily tranfer songs onto a PC. I've downloaded the latest version of MediaSource and drivers, but it doesn't recognize that the player is plugged in. However, the PC and the Nomad Explorer do recognize it. Unforunately, it doesn't seem that you can easily use Explorer to tranfer files onto the PC in an organized manner, nor can you use it to play tracks that are on the Zen. My Zen Touch is Version .0.03, and i'm reluctant to upgrade the firmware because I can't back up the tracks on my PC! Is there anyway around this? Thanks!

mattisb,
Did you download the Jukebox plugin (Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource) that's meant for the Zen Touch player? If not, go to the website and download it.

Transfering file between Zen Touch and sl

I have got Zen Touch and loaded that with lots of song collection. Now got a sleek and want to transfer those files to Sleek directly from Zen (this will save lot of time)
Any one have any idea how to do it's

The actual problem is as follows...Whenever I open Creative media source (even without connecting Zen Touch or Sleek ) I am getting the following error message' Your music library is corrupted and cannot be restored. Media source will now revert to your most recent back up file. Do you want to continue'. If I click yes I get another message 'You have no available music library. Mediasource will create a new library'. If I click yes another message' Your database engine is corrupted. You need to install Microsoft Jet Engine 4 Service pack 3. Available from microsoft website. ..'
What should I have to do?
I also have another problem. When I tried to rip audio CD I am not abpe to do it. I get the following error message 'CTMS.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart. An error log has been generated.'
Any Advice?

ZEN - 20gb..Problems and difficult

Hi everyone,
i just gotten the black 20gb ZEN, not the TOUCH but the bigger size bunny of ZEN micro. Just wondering whether there is anyone out there facing problems with this so far no frills mp3 player.
my first problem with the ZEN was it being not able ot display chinese characters, but that was solved using the sync function in my Win Media 0 Player. but now i have a problem of extracting my recordings of my lectures i have in my ZEN to my PC and archiving it. As a student in Uni, i do forsee that i would be recoridng lots of my lectures (gives me zzz-ing time), so is there any way to extract out the wav file? thanks!
So far, Zen has been a really good mp3 machine, no frills interface and really simple to use...but i guess like any piece of godo machine, there are certain problems, any to highlight? maybe we can solve them and share our solutions here...
for ZEN users!
Cheers!
Benjix

benjix,
You have to use the Mediasource or Media Explorer to transfer files out of the player to the computer as described by Mattan. You can't use WMP0 to do that.

Zen Touch or Zen Mi

Hi, I want to get a digital music player but I'm in a bit of a dilemma. The Zen Touch and Micro are the same price but obviously the Touch has four times the capacity of the Micro. The problem is I only have 3.8GB of music and while I might get a bit more there's only a possibility I might need the extra space. What I basically want to know is if there is any advantage to having a Micro over a Touch, as if there isn't I may as well go for the Touch.
I know there isn't much chance that anybody actually owns both of these but if anyone can help me I'd be grateful.
Thanks.

I have a 5gb micro, with about 8 gb of music, i got it because i dont listen to all of that music at once, and my old MuVo TX could only hold about 5 or 6 CD's at a time. So if you have almost 4gb, maybe you should consider the micro over the touch. It is indeed smalller, more portable, the batteries can be swapped out, FM radio, and i hear that the touch pad on the touch is overly sensiti've. the Micro is really easy for me to use, but again, i've never used a touch.

ZEN TOUCH or Zen Micro? Which is bett

I'm interested in buying one or the other but am unsure which to purchase. I like the fact that Zen Micro has repeat, resume and random play as well as a stand and belt clip. I also like the fact that it has fm radio and comes in lots of colors. But I love the fact that Zen Touch has a larger storage capacity and is already compatible with WMP 0 without having to hopefully download additional software. Which has a better sound capacity? I have quite a bit of songs with a heavy bass from club songs as well as
hip hop/r &b tracks. Also does either player play songs longer than 4 minutes? I have a couple of songs that are about 9 minutes long. I'm looking for one that is the most user friendly and will not be something I'll have to replace anytime soon because I've run out of space. Does anyone know if the the Zrn Touch will be coming out in various colors like the micro? Any insight into a good choice is greatly appreciated.

Many things are taken into consideration between the touch and micro. Here are some.
Touch
- has more hard dri've space
2- Has a dedicated volume button and has a mix of buttons and touchpad(lot of ppl like that)
3- People seem to have a lot of prob with the touch software and touch does not offer EAX options
4- The LCD light could use a fixing.
Micro
- Smaller HD than the touch (5 GB)
2- Comes with a lot of features for its price. (FM, MIC, date and planner, removable disc mode, etc)
3- Better looking and is more compact and smaller, fits almost newhere.
4 - Software is better and is more reliable, plus removable battery.
5 - 0 colors to choose from.
6 - Comes with a few of accesories ( Belt clip, stand, pouch)
Final - I have tried both the touch and micro for 2 months respecti'vely and the micro is better cause of its many features and creative really stepped up and fixed many problems that people were having with the touch so i suggest u go with the ZEN micro

Nomad Xtra, Zen Micro, and Zen To

I'm your typical money-starved college student and need to find the best sounding mp3 player for as less cash as possible. I have about 800-,000 songs from my cds that I would want to store, and would like to add some other songs from Kazaalite and Limewire. Is converting shared P2P mp3s and such going to be a problem(28-92KBps)? As it stands, I'm deciding on the Nomad Xtra 30GB($90), the Zen Touch($220), or the Zen Micro($220). First of all, I was wondering if the sound quality of any of these three players is necessarily better than the other two. That's my biggest concern. I also realize that the Zen Micro has the least amount of storage available, but the recorder, better quality in-box earbuds, fm tuner, and extra replaceable battery are advantages. It seems like this would save me the most money in the long run. With that in mind, Is swapping out play lists that are stored on my computer a reasonable way to compensate for the lack of storage on the Micro? Or would that be frustrating and should I just go with more storage? I would also like to know if any of these models are compatable with cassette or fm car transmitters, and does that actually work well? And finally, can the Nomad Xtra and Zen Touch comfortably fit into a pocket? Based on all of this, which would you reccomend for me since it will be my only mp3 player?
Also, is the Zen Touch's sealed battery an issue to consider? I'm not planning on buying another mp3 player for a while, and I would hate to have a battery die on me just a couple years after it's purchase and render my mp3 player a $200+ paperweight. Is there any sort of Apple-like battery refurbishing survace for the Zen Touch?

.) Q: Is converting shared P2P mp3s and such going to be a problem (28-92KBps)?
A: You don't have to convert any files to upload them to either the Xtra, Touch, or Micro. You can play pretty much any bitrate mp3, wma, and wav files.
2.) Q: I was wondering if the sound quality of any of these three players is necessarily better than the other two.
A: Not really. Based on everyone's reviews around here, they all sound the same. Each player has a custom equalizer for personal settings too (more bass/less treble, etc).
3.) Q: Is swapping out play lists that are stored on my computer a reasonable way to compensate for the lack of storage on the Micro?
A: To do that, you'd have to remove certain files then upload other ones. There's a synchronize option which could be used to do this a little easier. But it's not as easy as taking music database A on the MP3 player and replacing it with music database B from your computer.
4.) Q: Are any of these models compatable with cassette or fm car transmitters, and does that actually work well?
A: Yes, check out the Creative MP3 player accessories section for more info.
5.) Q: And finally, can the Nomad Xtra and Zen Touch comfortably fit into a pocket?
A: My Zen Xtra fits into every one of my pants' pockets. The Zen Touch is smaller than the Zen Xtra, so I would say that it would fit into your pocket even easier.
6.) Q: Based on all of this, which would you reccomend for me since it will be my only mp3 player?
A: Let the customers decide that for you. Check out the reviews in this thread
Hope this helps in your decision! If I were you I would probably go with the Zen Micro.

Which would be a better purchase, Zen Touch or Zen Mic

Okay for christmas this year I am asking for an mp3 player. Ive done my research and decided between the Zen Touch or Zen Micro so that I may take advantage of Napsters music downloading service. Now my delima is which would be a better purchase. Ive read reviews on amazon, epinions, and cnet. As far as the Micro goes its a love/hate type of thing while i've read only good reviews of the Touch. Now the Touch doesnt seem as popular and for what reason I dont know. Also i've noticed the Micro has a great number of more accessories than the Zen Touch. Now taking into consideration accessories and durability which would you say is the better LONG term purchase?
-Thanks

If you are planning on using subscriptoin music, I would go with the Touch, as it is a 20GB player and you have unlimited music to download (more space=more music )
Don't get it wrong, the Micro is awesome, I would have got it if I didn't have so much music.
And my guess as to why the Touch is not as popular as the Micro is that people don't like the way it looks and it's size (which is understandable, because of it's 24hour battery).
The Touch is also a great value, because it comes with an AC power cable (the Micro used to come with this when it first came out, but now it is sold separatley), and a carrying pouch (I replaced mine with a better because you can't aceess the MP3 player while it is in the pouch, making it a bit inconvenient). On top of it all, the 20GB version sells for around $200. And with the new firmware, the "over-sensiti've" touchpad that many reviews claim is now taken care of, and it is as easy to use as the Zen Micro's touchpad .
All in all, it is down to what you want:
a 5GB MP3 player that looks cool and comes in 0 different colors
or a 20GB player that comes with a few extra acessories. Both are around the same price (the Micro may be $20 cheaper, if it is on sale).
