Need new MP3 pla

Well my 30gb Zen Xtra MP3 player just became a paperweight today- It had been a year and a half since i bought it used so it li'ved a full life. Unfortunately it died with my 0gb of music, 2gb of videos, and other random things (as data). Sad loss- Should have backed up.
Anyway, I'm looking for a new MP3/4 player.. any suggestions? I want something that had a similar interface to my Xtra (with the playlists on the go, unsure if thats rare nowdays), also preferably much smaller. Under $200?Message Edited by gizmofo on 04-30-200707:20 PM
Im looking at the Zen vision:m which Newegg is listing for 75 after rebate.. good buy?Message Edited by gizmofo on 04-30-200707:29 PM

Hi Gizmofo!
What are your requirements for a player? Essentially, how much space do you need? What features do you want? Do you want to be able to play video, or is it more important that the player is small?
The Zen Vision:M would definitely be a good choice. If you want something a big smaller, check out the Zen V Plus. The interface on both is similar, and both do playlists on the go.

New MP3 Pla

I've been researching prices for MP3 Players. Thanks to Cat I decided to buy myself a new MP3 player, but I'm not sure what one I want. I don't have a large amount of music, but I want the space to hold more then 40-50 from my 256 MB TX FM but I don't know exactly what one.
I looked up the Zen Nano or Zen Nano Plus, looked at their prices and figured they were pretty good in CAN dollars, little less without taxes then what I payed for my 256 on eBay, with about the space I want, but I haven't found any reveiws. If anyone has any reveiws on it, lemme know.
Again, Thanks in Advance

For reviews go to amazon.com and do a search for your player. Lots of comments from a lot of people who have actually purchased the player.
Another place for reviews is pcworld.com
I just ordered a new Creative Zen Nano Plus GB in pink for $69.99US (no shipping, no tax) from amazon.com. If you are ordering from amazon, make sure your player is coming from them, not a third party seller. This way you will have a warranty. Keep your receipt.
Best wishes,

Buying New MP3 Pla

I plan to buy a new MP3 player. I have been reading post on problems that people are having. I am concerned that I?will not have these types of problems. First my computer OS is XP home, service package 3 with WMP . On my old MP3 I could download books and open them?using WMP and transfer to my MP3 without any problems. This was before I had to reformat my hard dri've and reinstall windows. So?WMP 0?is not on my hard dri've and I cannot roll back to it. My question is will my new?Creative MP3 install and work on my system?without all of the problems I have been reading about?

I'd say go for the Zen V Plus. It generally gets better feedback when compared to the Neeon 2. By personal experience, I can say that it's (the V) amazing. Nice and fullly featured, sweet screen and excellent sound quality. The extras make it worth having it as well. Just make sure you go for 4GB. or 2 gigs isn't enough, at least not for me. Some people have had some problems with getting it to work, but I managed to, by rolling back to WMP0 then reinstalling . If you are going to get the V,?I suggest you use Beta 2 of , because the full version won't recognize mine if it's docked for a long time (charging, etc.). Hope this helped, and I hope you enjoy whichever player you plan on getting.

Looking for a new MP3 Pla

I have a Zen Xtra 40 Gig, curently I only use about .2GB for my music part of it has a old copy of my data dri've. In a month my mother is going away for a few months for cancer treatment I told her should could have my player since she has like 00-200 CDs. If I add her mp3 files to mine I'm looking at near 4-5GB. So I'm thinking of getting a Zen Touch or Zen Micro.
The Zen Touch has a 24 hr battery life, 20 gig dri've however I'm concerned about the internal battery and the unstability of the player. I wish it could be picked up by windows as a Dri've. My brother as had one for a month and it's frozen on him a few times.
The Zen Micro has a 2 hr battery life but it is removeable. A little woried about the small battery size. It is a smaller dri've than the Zen Touch, but more room than I need for my MP3s.
I was wondering if anyone here would have any suggestions as to wich I should go for?

Greetings.
I would probably go for the Micro. Reasons? Well, firstly - it is a product that Creative still seem to think is important, the Touch does not seem to be as important for Creative, based on their amount of activity on the firmware-side and accessory-wise... If you want to have accessories, the Micro is definately the one to go for. A user-replaceable battery is a good thing (though the Touch battery is also replacable, albeit not user-replacable).
5GBs is not a lot, however...

Mattias.

Looking to buy a new mp3 pla

My last (and only) mp3 was a Zen Touch 20GB, which I loved dearly. But, alas, the HDD died. Couldn't fix, don't know why I didn't send off. But anyway. Is the menu system/player software basically the same as the Zen Touch (obviously refined)?
I liked the fact that my ZT had 24hr battery life and a nice way to scroll, so can someone perhaps suggest a player with similar advantages? I'm asking here as people will know which players tend to have problems and which are genuinely worth purchasing.
Do any Creative players support id3v2.4 tags, or just v2.3. And do any players support album artist tags? Or will I just have to navigate via album, as I did with the Zen Touch?
One last thing, I'm not fussed about pictures and video, just a solid mp3 player that does exactly that.Message Edited by Dragon on 2-2-200708:39 PM

well, if you liked navigating the touch i would def say go for the vision m: it uses a similar vertical scroller but is better refined, and has a fat battery life as well (always a plus). Although it has photos and videos that youre not interesed (but which you may well come to be soon..), the album art feature is def a bonus and failr sure they can hangle the new tag systems. as for other features im waiting for something that rellly gives the vision m a run for its money - especially its usb host funcionality (brilliant for travlers)

A few quick questions about my new MP3 pla

Ok, I like to get to know anything I buy so I decided to come here and ask, I hope you dont mind answering (My MP3 player is the MuVo c00):
) In the instruction manual it says that play WMA file reduce the battery life of your player. Since converting them reduces the size by a fair bit I was wondering if the reduced battery life was worth it and how much it reduces the battery life.
2) When is a good time to replace the bettery in my player? Should I wait for it to completly die or what because I dont want to go replacing batteries 3 quarters full.
3) Is there any sound or quality differences between MP3 format and WMA?
4) Is the program that came with the player the best thing to add music with or would buying something else do the trick or even just copy and paste?
5) Finally, how do you attach the neck strap? I dont see any place where it could go unless you have to attach it with the arm band on it.
Thanks for your help and I might have some more question but untill further notice this is all I have and again thaks for your time.

. You have to bear in mind this is for an equivalent MP3 e.g. a 28 kbit/s encoded WMA is going to use more power than a 28 kbit/s MP3. Normally WMAs are encoded at a lower rate anyway, hence will use less power. There are many factors that affect battery usage.
2. Wait for it to go flat.
3. Complex answer. In general WMA is used when you want more space and aren't so worried about quality, at the 64 - 28 kbit/s range. MP3s (using the LAME encoder) are better at the higher bit-rates of 92 kbit/s. The bottom line is try a few different bit-rates for both MP3 and WMA, take a listen, and decide for yourself.
4. With the MuVo it's very easy, just use Windows Explorer to copy files. I wouldn't buy any other software, unless you find something you really like to create MP3/WMA files.
5. Not sure on this one...

New MP3 player needed!! Must have FM recording functio

Dear all,
Please could you let me know what you would suggest in relation to needing to buy a new mp3 player, (i currently have a zen micro 5gb but need more memory) however i need to be able to use the FM recording function as i record college lectures which are broadcast on the radio to save everyone having to turn up to each class. howver i have spotted though these posts taht this function is being removed. so could people please suggest a sutiable make and also could Creative mods etc please explain why this is being removed. as personally i find this the best feature and is the only reason that i have brought 3 creative products so far and am going to buy more! (i have also encouraged 6 others to but creatives rather than a well known fruity brand of mp3 player!)

So does the Zen Sleek Photo 20GB. I love mine, the sound is excellent, it is a very attracti've looking unit, it has an FM radio and recorder and plenty of memory to save recordings, different screen themes, and as an added bonus, it is the only MP3 where you can use personal photos as screen wallpapers

What to keep in mind whilie developing under the new IOS PLA

Hi everyone.
I found out the the new IOS PLA was introduced on June 2nd. I could not spot any noticeable differences from the previous one.
The fellow developers at my office are quite acquaint with the previous PLA, however the release announcement sort of created confusion among them. They all wonder what to keep in mind while developing and publishing the apps under the new PLA.
Your help will be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Very simply "wired for internet" just means that you have, probably, Category 5 (CAT5) ethernet cables and jacks prewired in the home. These cables should all lead to one common location, hopefully in a patch panel or box. In order for this arrangement to be of any use you need a multi-port router and/or switch. I doubt whether the contractor provides this router/switch as part of the deal. Anyway the router/switch would connect all of these cables together as well as your internet service (DSL, Cable Modem, whatever). Plugging into any of the jacks in the home would connect you to the router/switch, which in turn would issue your device an IP address and connect you to the network. Internet access, as well as file sharing, would be controlled by the router/switch. Very basic home network and nothing complicated. Your Apple TV will work just fine with this network. You could also connect a network storage device, such as a large capacity hard drive that could be shared by all users on the network. Getting more complicated involves having a dedicated server machine running OS X Server for example.

I can't open a doc in Pages, msg says I need "newer version of Pages" but it's already downloaded and updated. Help plse

I can't open a doc in Pages, msg says I need "newer version of Pages" but it's already downloaded and updated. Help plse

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

After I download Itunes, when trying to sync Ipod, message says "needs newer version of mobile support, uninstall Itunes, and reinstall Itunes, and the same process starts all over again. why is that?

Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

Does creative plan to release a new mp3 play

5 minutes ago a bought a Zen touch but noticed it was kinda outdated and i would really kick myself in the nads if creative releases a new mp3 player in about a month so are there any plans for a new one (one that just plays music and doesn't have all the extra features like video and pictures).
The only thing that i don't like is the size it is kinda big.
Hope creative has some plans on the near future

Well the thing i didn't like about the sleek it was the battery and the thing it killed it for me is that i have to go to a menu to turn on the volume (i have a lot of songs that ha ve very differnt bitrate), so the only thing i found better was the desing, I kinda hope creative doesn't releases a new player and i kinda wish they would.
I don't want to kick myself in the nads it really hurts!!!

There is only 1 numbers program in my programs directory, no older versions as long as I can see. Tried to open fromout Numbers and from Finder with the 'open with' function. Always the same error. Please help. Need to access my files.

Hi Robert,
Updating to Numbers 3 (Yosemite) did not remove Numbers '09 from your machine.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
     If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
     If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
     Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?
