Firmware Zen 20gb Black Player Pleas

earlier on I placed a HELP with screen locking at Rebuilding Library - Perseverance got me to the Reboot screen - Where on the site can I get the firmware for this player please. I have looked at the site in the Downloads, none seem to fit this player. I have Original CD but the only thing I can find is Drivers, no firmware there.
Any Help Please!!

What is the exact model name of your player?

Zen 20gb - Bl

I've just ordered a Zen 20gb MP3 Player - Black from Amazon.co.uk.
I probably should have done this BEFORE ordering, but I've just cheked the Creative website and cannot find this model listed. According to Amazon, the model number is: 70PF 0900 0008
It looks very much like a Zen Micro - but is described as having 20gb capacity.
Does anyone know anything about this model, or do I need to start trying to get my money back from Amazon?
Just to clarify - I li've in the UK and cannot find this model on the European Creative website.
Thanks in advance!!
Dave

It's larger than a Zen Micro, but has a similar look. As far as I knew Europe weren't selling this player, but someone else mentioned Amazon UK were selling it. It didn't appear in the USA for a long time, but then Cambridge Soundworks stores started to sell it.
Principally this player is sold in Asia Pacific.
Here's an official Creative page for the player, although I'm not sure if this is International or USA based.

The Zen 20GB firmware is available on the Singapore version of the website. Use the Region / Country selector at the top of the page - don't worry, it's in English!
It also works if you type the model number into the Search box on the Download page (Support, Downloads) - use HD005 not DAP-HD005 though.

ZEN 20GB - firmware

Hi, is it possible to put on my player ZEN 20GB (this one which looks like micro) firmware for? example from micro 2.xx. Or playsforsure?
Please answer, because i'm tryingto start scrobbling my zen for lastfm

Hi Domel003,
There is no playsforsure firmware for the ZEN 20GB. Future development plan is unlikely since this is an archi'ved product.

Zen Touch latest Firmware Update...player not connec

I tried installing the latest Firmware update for my Zen Touch (released 2-09).
The player is connected and recognized by Windows and the Media Explorer. However, when I try to install the new Firmware it keeps saying "player not connected".
I tried d/l two different language packages cause I wasn't sure what counted - player language or operating system langauge. Anyway, that didn't make a difference.
So what do I do? I have no idea where to start. It's firmware for the correct device connected through Windows XP.
I have made a firmware update before, which worked fine. After that I updated the media explorer software.
Help is very much appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Perhaps it's worth making sure no software is using the player, so reboot the PC, and turn off the Creative Detector. Then try again.
Are you trying to upgrade to the .0.03 version?

Assistance with an inherited Zen Vision:M media player, plea

I inherited a Creative Zen Vision:M (30 GB, pink) due to someone getting Ipod fever and bequeathing her old player to me. What I ended up receiving was a functioning device, a power chord but no cradle, no interface cables. The latter were found easily on Amazon. I downloaded the following firmware:
Creative MediaSource 5: (Player, Go!, Audio Convertor, and Organizer)
creative video convertor
Creative Zencast Organizer
Creative Synch Manager
Do I need anything else? Got the link for it's I synched up a lot of music, some audio books and podcasts, even videos, so I'm pretty sure I've got the hang of the HOW... it's the next step, organizing and playing what I uploaded, that is giving me fits.
The interface seems a tad confusing. It plays audio files automatically (you can chose to play video, Photos, FM Radio, Extras, the microphone and calendar and such, but you you have to select them from a drop down menu available on the bottom right). The music plays in a constant shuffled randomized list. There seems to be NO music or audio files menu on this device whatsoever. You just listen to whatever comes up. I'd like to choose what I hear, or be able to build a picklist (or playlist) on the fly, so I can hear things like Podcasts and Audio books without hitting "Next, next, next, next, next, next, next-- YAY!" to listen to the next chapter of an audio book.
So, how do I select SPECIFIC MUSIC FILES that I want to play using the CREATIVE ZEN VISION:M's firmware built in on the device? Will the firmware upgrade help solve this problem, or is it only for the 60GB version of the Vision:M?
Thanks!

First things first - if you want to hear things in a specific order you have to go to settings> play mode> normal? (not 'shuffle').
Then you have to make sure the files that are on your player are tagged correctly. This means editing the album, artist, genre information eg in MediaSource. Make sure that the track numbers in a specific album are correct (often they will be anyway). Then you can go to 'Music Library' on the player and select the album, artist or genre you want.
Eg. If I want to listen to an audiobook of 'Henry IV' (thought you might appreciate that one!), I'll make sure all the tracks for this audiobook are tagged with the album name 'Henry IV'. Then I'll make sure the tracks have the correct track number so they follow on from each other. Then, with play mode set to 'normal' I'll go to Music library> albums> Henry IV> highlight and press 'play'. I'll also know that if I like I can use the button on the bottom right of the player to set bookmarks within each track of the audiobook.

Cost of replacing a Zen 20GB scr

Hey guys,
I've recently crushed my mp3 player, an old Creative Zen 20GB, and had the screen smashed, it's all black now ! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with sending their mp3 players to repair their screens before, any idea how much something like this would cost in singapore dollars? I don't want to spend a hundred bucks to repair a 2 year old mp3 player. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would presume that the cost of replacement is just the normal cost of the phone - but there is no information to confirm this - that is why I'm a little unclear.
The reason for wanting to know is so I can decide on whether it's worth considering insurance, cases etc. If it's simply a case of buying another iPhone then fair enough - if it turns out that you cannot buy another iPhone without signing up to an additional contract (and so paying two lots of £35 per month) or paying vastly more than the initial purchase price for a replacement, then I would be far more concerned about protecting my iPhone.
Really it's a balance between cost of insurance vs risking it, and the bulkiness and inconvenience of using a case vs increased risk of damage.

Zen 20GB (like the micro) Firmw

Hi,
I have a 20gb ZEN (the one like the micro) with version .00.02firmware and was looking for the upgrade but the product isn't listed - the upgrade specifically says the for your , 4, 5 or 6GB Creative Zen Micro player.
HELP - WHERE IS THE UPGRADE :-(((((
TIA
Paul

It's only available in certain regions, so you'll only find the available downloads depending on what country you choose (ie, a quick check showed it's not listed in the US, but it is in Singapore). If there was a problem with your current player and you needed to reload the firmware, I think you'll have to contact Support if you can't find it on the downloads page. As far as I know, there aren't any firmware upgrades for this player.
2027746,
FYI - the Zen 20gb is like a Micro on steroids. It's got the same design features and layout, but bigger.

Petition - Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD00

I have recently upgraded my music player from a zen micro to a Zen 20Gb and I am surprised to find that it is a step backward in terms of firmware.
The zen micro went to deep sleep mode after 4 hours. However this player is still using the old setting of 24 hours before going into deep sleep mode.
This adversely affects battery life.
So I have decided to ask creative to change this setting in the future.
Sign please if you agree.
thanks

Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD00

Hello,
I bought some months ago by Ebay the .
I happy with this product.
I want now to use ZENcast Organizer.
I installed It and it doesn't recognise the player.
On this page : http://www.zencast.com/downloads/
It is written that the ZENcast Organizer Requires an upgrade to PlaysForSure? Firmware.
I didn't find it for my model.
Can you please help.
Best Regards,
Renato Fontana

Cat thanks for the answer.
Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD005) is only one or two year old and already it can't benefit of new features or upgrade ...
My understanding now is that in fine, I won't be able to use ZENcast Organizer.
I am really disappointed.

Zen 20gb - firmwa

Hiya
I have hunted high and low for a solution to this, so i'm going to have a final stab by registering here and asking....
I have a Zen 20gb, it's not a touch, a micro or anything like that, just a Zen 20gb, I think they might have been limited to Europe and Asia, not sure.
The Firmware on board is .00.02
I need to get this working with Vista. I cannot find a firmware, I did try the Zen firmware but it couldnt find the player, then I found further down in the archi'ved section the page for the Zen 20gb, it said my player was not supported anymore, which I was amazed about as it is not that old.
So is there a work around for this, or am stuck with fireing up XP everytime I want to add music to it's By workaround I mean firmwares for other models that might work. Am pretty p***ed off with Creative for giving up so early on this player by the way, it was a few hundred pounds when I got it a few years ago!!
Thanks for reading and for any ideas you can offer : )

I believe they were using Asia mainly Singapore as the test bed for that harddisk based mp3 player but it did not sit well with the customers here. I bought it because I needed the disk space at a close-out sale. I believe that particular model was a total flop and those of my friends and family who saw it thinks it was the ugliest thing around. They have not sold the unit for quite many years now. It was based on a different format and providing a driver for it make be too time consuming and expensi've and probably just support a handful of users who still uses it.
You pretty much cannot use that one failed model to guage what Creative is doing to support the other popular mp3 players.

Zen 20GB cannot turn

I have a Zen 20GB to which all of a sudden I cannot turn on . I have tried recharging it via the adapter for up to 3hrs with no luck. I have only had it for 3 mths now. How do I solve this problem? I have tried resetting it but this still does not work.

It's a bit unfair to berate Creative, as you bought a player either outside the intended region or "exported" it from the intended region. You can't expect European Support to be able to help with a player that isn't in their region, although you don't say if it was based on an autoresponse that you decided this or an actual email from a technician.
Ultimately if you buy a player from a different region you take a gamble, and Creative are actually pretty good at honouring warranties for players sold across regions.
If you'd care to re read my post they were both automated responses, however if as you allude you take a chance buying anything out of area, yes you are probably right as far as creative are concerened.
All I want is the firmware for a zen 20 gb purchased in singapore 7 weeks ago
It ain't rocket science

Zen mx 16gb player not recognising id3 tags.

,zen mx 6gb player not recognising id3 tags.I recently bought a zen mx and so far can not get it to recognise over half of my mp3's id3 tags. All of the files are drm free. All of the unrecognised files will play but get stuck in the unknown artist unknown album catagory on the player. I have tried retagging the files in several diffrent tagging softwares and upgraded my player to the newest firmware and nothing seems to work. I had a creative vision m 30gb before I had this player and it never had this problem. I contacted customer support but they didnt seem to have any idea what an Id3 tag was and offered no relavent advice other then upgrade your firmware witch was upsetting to say the least. If anyone has any idea how to fix this that would be awesome. I feel like I just wasted almost 80 dollars.

0Re: zen mx 6gb player not recognising id3 tags. It's just aggravating because I used to talk the company up all the time. The older creative zen's where awesome. They played every file that I had with the exclusion of open source formats like ogg witch is understandable because I'm sure that there is not much demand for that.
I wouldn't be half as upset as I am if I felt like the support people where offering decent suggestions or even an explanation of what may be wrong. I mean are there certain id3 tags that are not recognised? At least try to explain why it may not work to me so that I can fix the problem without having to re-tag every cd that I have purchased since I was fourteen. I don't think I'm going to buy anything from them again until I see that the quality of there products is getting better. Maybe I should write a review on Amazon to warn people away, after all the majority of the music that its having problems with was downloaded from Amazon.com.
Btw if your haning the same problem as me kid3 is a program that will retag your files to this players satisfaction. Not that helps if you have a large volume of music but its at least something.
