Looking for some jogging/running earbuds for Zen Vision

looking for:
affordable: -30 dollars (of course in USD)
colors: whatever, just somewhere between black,grey, or white
locations: would be better if it was at a local store for example fry's or bestbuy. (do not give me those two stores, they have nothing!)
thank you

Jogging + ZVM = bad idea

  • What happened to STARBUY for Zen Vision M 60 GB scheduled for today Dec 2 @10

    Hey everyone,
    I participated in Nov's starbuy, didnt manage to get anything and after it, I checked back a couple of days later and saw that Dec starbuy was scheduled for today 2 Dec at 0pm for Zen Vision M (Black) 60GB. But just logged onto Creative Online Store and didnt see the link for Starbuy. Anyone know what happened to it's? Does this mean no more starbuy from now on?

    I also was eagerly watching for the starbuy that you have referred to on Dec 2 at 0pm. I must say I'm disappointed with what Creative has done. Sure, they have every "right" to withdraw their offers but they did not bother to inform the public about it. I personally checked the website patiently from 9pm to 030pm thinking that maybe they were getting ready to upload the website with the starbuy. But NO the stupid link kept going back to the creative homepage. And they sneakily removed all the advertisements to the starbuy.
    What p**ses me off even more is that if you check today, they have sneakily changed it to some "SoundWorks 500DAB" which is a new item but nobody's ever heard of before or is probably interested, compared to the ZVM 60GB. It's quite big (it's not a mobile player, .92kg, looks more like a mini-compo) and only plays "Digital Audio Broadcast" (what's that?) and FM Stereo. Hello Creative? What era is this? Who wants to buy this only to leave it at home to listen to the radio or DAB? It's not mobile, it can't play MP3s or video or photo. Or even CDs.
    Check it out at sg.store.creative.com/starbuy
    Why they decided to pull the ZVM beats me. I have no idea. And why Creative has started selling what looks like basically an expensi've radio (ie, they are going back in time) beats me even more. As echoed by many Internet reviewers, compared to Apple Ipod, Creative's MP3 players are pretty good and they should focus their attention on that, try to make them even smaller and longer battery life, more functions, more codecs, better screens, BUT what we see is Creative di'versifying and designing/manufacturing so much new products that they may not have a market for.
    EDIT: Ok I just checked, about DAB: from Wikipedia
    Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB is a technology for broadcasting audio programming in digital form that was designed in the late 980s but which is now being introduced in many countries. The original objecti'ves of converting to digital systems were to enable higher fidelity, more stations, less inteference, mobile services and additional information such as text, although in practice the vast majority of radio stations on DAB sound worse than on FM.
    In Singapore, MediaCorp's SmartRadio was launched on 9 November 999. Using the Eureka 47 DAB system, SmartRadio provides six digital-only stations and eight simulcast FM services, along with images and text to supplement the audio. Singapore was the first country to reach full DAB coverage.
    My response: I still think that Creative should work on their mp3 players. They could try introducing this DAB technology into their MP3 players, maybe be the first in the world to do it. Sooner or later another company's gonna do it.Message Edited by fourseven on 2-04-200602:30 AM

  • Accesories for Zen Vision

    Hi everybody. I've just bought a Zen Vision : M a couple of weeks ago. And now i want to install it in my car, ain't it possible to get a fm transmitter that charges thru the Mp3 player, and not thru the car charger?Otherwise you would have to constantly change the charges between the Zen and the fm transmitter... And another question, does anyone know when the accesories will be out in the stores in Denmark??/Aleks

    if you get a belkin fm transmitter (or alot of other company's). they usualy run through a AAA battery. the battery usualy lasts awhile. so you don't have to worry. they plug into the headphone jack and that wont power the player. the reason why some companys use the lighter port on cars is to save you from using batteries, but that just limits its usage to in vehichles.
    IF possible. check if your car stereo has a "line-in" jack. if there isnt a headphone plug on the front. it might be in the back of it. usualy newer ones do. you might want to check the players manual if you have on. or get somebody who knows what there doing to check for you. if you do that you can use a direct line (cord with female headphone plugs on both ends) to go straight from your Vision:M directly into your stereo. that will give you great sound quaulity. otherwise fm transmitters just give you around tape/stereo sound quality.
    good luck.
    no clue about the acessories. mind you, i've never seen creative accessories in stores anywhere here. they usualy only have the players in the stores. perhaps get it off creative.com

  • Car Kit for Zen Vision

    Okay, so my previous post didnt seem to have a message..
    Is there a car kit to play music from the creative zen vision m in your car?
    I have a CD player in my dash, not a tape
    thanks!

    boltoncalling,
    If you don't have a tape player in the card, the other options would be to connect directly, or use an FM transmitter.
    Connecting directly is only possible if the stereo has that option. Some have an auxiliary input on the front, others have an input on the back, but some don't have an input at all. Check the manual for your car stereo if you can to see if it has any mention of an input. It might be on the back of the unit so you might need an adapter from the manufacturer.
    The other option is an FM transmitter, with this you use that device to essentially transmit a signal from your player, that your radio can pick up.

  • Will my old wall charger for Zen Vision:M will work with the (New) Z

    i bought a wall charger from amazon for my Zen Vision: M 30GB, will it work with the (New)Zen? i just bought the Zen 6 GB and it doesn't comes with an adapter, pretty bad move there, well, does it has the same plug? i hope it's compatible. thanks

    sebastiankf,
    That third party adapter from your Amazon link is hard wired specifically for the Vision:M and will not work with any other Creative player unless it has the same pin-outs using the same docking interface. The Creative AC-5V adapters will either have a coaxial power plug connection that will work with most of the Creative hard disk based players, except for the original NJB and Zen Micro, or a USB Mini-B plug that will work with all of the flash players that have a USB connection and the Zen Micro.

  • Video conversion issue for zen vision m 3

    hi all im brand new to the forum. i seem to have 2 issues.firstly i cant find any free software to convert dvd to a file format supported by my zen vision m.anyone have any ideas?secondly (and this is the big one), i am really disappointed with the video feature of my vision.i had a zen micro before and thought it was fantastic.software was great, menu system was great.so when it was time to upgrade there was no question it was going to be a creative again.but when it comes to the supposedly supported video file formats i feel i've been duped.if i use the video converter in the software (for avi from my camera to wmv)?it tells me theres no audio.it wont work with mp4 files at all.that just freezes my zen.why do they claim it supports mp4 when it doesnt ?has anyone got this problem too?i have the latest firmware upgrade so it cant be that. thanks folks

    I use AVS Video Converter from http://www.avsmedia.com/. I think it costs about $30 if I remember right. It converts practically?everything that isn't protected. They even have presets for the Zen Vision, although not for the Vision:M or Vision:W. However, it lets you easily make your own presets. The program is fast and very easy to use once you learn it. However, there is a bit of a learning curve. It has a good, simple interface but they don't hold your hand. The help is also very good. I've been using it for about 2 years and I'm glad I have it. By the way, I'm a customer of theirs and I don't get anything out of posting this. Barry?

  • Protective Cover & Transparent film for Zen Vision

    [color="#3333ff">I just purchased a Zen Vision M - black. Black shows up scratches a lot. I've only had it for a few days and already I can see the tiny surface scratches. I would like to buy a protecti've case or flexskin and a protecti've transparent film for the screen to protect it from scratches. I've found a few companies online that offer these products.

  • Audioscrobbler and Last.fm for Zen Vision:

    I was wondering what the chances were that we'd ever see a firmware update for the Zen Vision: M that will allow Audioscrobbling (www.last.fm). The player already seems to keep track of my listening habbits. Would it really be so hard to allow that information to be accessible from my PC?
    According to the people at the Audioscrobbler forum, the only reason an Audioscrobbler plugin _doesn't_ exist for Zen players is that Creative's firmware is not open enough. Would it really be terribly difficult to open up the firmware and let the relevant information be accessible? For a lot of people, the ability to use Last.fm with their MP3 player would be a huge selling point. The Zen Vision: M is an otherwise very versatile player; it would be great to see this extra feature added in an upcoming firmware upgrade.
    Anybody else out there want to see this happen? Any reason why it couldn't? Please chime in.

    yes sure i want this last.fm plug-in if it ever happens. i Use last.fm everyday and would love to se my track listing being displayed on there from my creative zen vision m............... it was the one thing i was hoping it would have but knowing it didnt i nearly picked the ipod. saying that im glad i didnt ;-)

  • Is it possible to get Bluetooth enhancement for Zen Vision M?

    hi all...
    I have a Vision 30g, and i love it. It has never given me any trouble, and i have it for two years! And i know that's a good spell...some friends i know have gone through 3 ipods in the same time. Anyhow....
    I got a nice set of bluetooth earphones for christmas, so i can use my phone and mp3 hadsfree while driving...the trouble is, my vision does not have bluetooth. Is it possible, or am i just wishing blindly, that some adjustment/download can be applied so my vision is bluetooth enabled?
    I'm reaching here folks, any help appreciated...
    Signed...A happy vision customer, that wishes to evolve!!

    ? It wasn't my intention to make you feel stupid. I had hoped the smiley would help convey that.
    Bluetooth and 802. wireless do both use a radio in the 2.4Ghz band so your question wasn't completely off the deep end (unlike other things I've seen people request "in the next firmware update" that clearly would require hardware the player doesn't have). However, there are significant differences in the frequency bands and the way they use those bands. To each one the other looks like noise to ignore. If it were at all possible to reconfigure the wireless radio of the Zen, and I doubt it since highly integrated an miniturized products rarely include anything they don't absolutely need to accomplish their intended feature set, you'd only be able to use one of the other. To simultaneously support Bluetooth and 802. wireless you'd definitely need multiple radios.

  • Manual Syncing for Zen Vision 60

    Hi all
    Apologies for the very basic question, I'm not a technically minded lass.
    I want to set the transfer software for my Zen to only manually sync, so that I can remove all the music from my laptop (which is struggling to cope with so many MP3's) but can plug the Zen in at a later date to add more music when I want to.
    Is this possible? I had no trouble doing it with my Ipod, but this is vexing me.
    Any help gratefully received

    anyone?

  • Anyway to convert m3u playlist for zen vision

    i wana convert them cause i dont wana go thru 00 items and add everything all over takes forever

    Avi is a container format, not a single compression format like mpeg. You will have to determine what compression method is used with the avi files, then find out if such a decompressor/compressor is available for QT for Windows. If you have a sample avi file that works with the Zen application then right-click on the file icon and choose Properties/Details. That should reveal the compression method used. The next step will be to do a search for an avi compressor for QT for Windows. Be aware that not all such compressors are available in a form useable for QT for Windows.
    Of couse, it may be simpler to just get in contact with the makers of this Zen application and ask them where to get the compressors needed.

  • Need To Reinstall Softwares For Zen Vision: M3

    Lost All Installation CDS.
    Questions:
    . Are all softwares available on Creative?Support/Download? Or can I purchase the installation CDs from Creative?
    2. I need main software to synchronise with the MP3 for music and video files. Is the below the?main software?

    I would get the driver and utilities from here, since many have probably changed.
    Install the chipset software followed by the display driver prior to any other drivers. Install the Common Modules before any other Toshiba utilities. I have attached the suggested installation order for the European equivalent of your model.

  • Divx 6.1 support for Zen Vision

    Greetings all
    I bought a Vision M and I am very happy with it, however there is something I'd like to confirm; does the Vision M support Divx 6. I am in the process of enconding my entire anime DVD collection using Divx 6. and I would like to be able to transfer it to the Vision M when I am done, if version 6. is not currently supported will Creative release a firmware patch to make it compatible in the future?
    thanks!

    before you draw conclusions, why don't you do some small tests with 20 second videos?
    I don't have a ZVM, but I figure that if you use only basic functions of DIVX6., then it will work just as well as divx5.
    Of course, if you use the features (file format, subtitles, menus) that were added specifically to divx 6. , that's another story... But I would think there's a good chance you don't (generally speaking).

  • Problems creating playlists for Zen Vision M 3

    This is more a problem with Media Explorer than the player itself. When I go to create a new playlist it doesn't list the music subfolders in alphabetical order. Instead, the latest stuff I've added is at the bottom of the list.
    Let's say I have a Pink Floyd folder on the player and when I put albums on there I put the year of release first. Let's say I have three folders with these names.
    973 - Dark Side of the Moon
    979 - The Wall
    994 - The Division Bell
    However, if I put the Division Bell on first, then Dark Side of the Moon, then the Wall, when I go to make a playlist it will list them in the order that I copied them instead of by the name of the folder.
    Is there a way to fix this?

    Anyone?

  • Question for an owner of Zen Vision

    I'm considering buying one and I like most of the things I've read. It's now between the iPod Video and Vision M. But I have an iRi'ver and there's a major problem with the random function. It will only play from about 200 songs, all with titles at the beginning of the alphabet, because I have a lot of music. I need a player that will select randomly from ALL of my songs. Can the Vision M do this? I'm pretty sure the iPod can.

    everything they said is right, the player is awesome.............
    BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
    the vision m has been having some serious (and i do mean serious) reliability issues...tons and tons of failing units (known as the black screen of death somewhere around here) problem that neither CL nor the users have been able to solve. One day you are a happy camper with it and the next day BAM! the player is completely dead and the only solution there exists is to change it for a new one (RMA'ing it). To prove it you can just search within this forums or search in google for: zen vision m freezes or zen vision m freees booting and you will find some links directing here with topics of people who have had the same problem as me...a DEAD zen vision m...
    hope i didnt spoiled the idea of getting one
