Petition | Audible support for Zen To

Folks,
This is a petition for Audible support for the Zen Touch with MTP/Janus firmware (2.xx). Please sign if you are interested in audible support for the Touch.
Thanks.

SIGNED!
Its true the Touch could use audible support, a while ago i suggested a similar function, putting a Line-in input on a separate adapter to record to the player, but no such luck.
It seems that Zen Touch, which is a FANTASTIC piece of hardware has been forgotten about, the recent Firmware upgrade has yielded some support back to the Touch. But as many Zen Touch users would probably agree, the support on optional hardware for the Touch has been really limited. I think before support the Zen Touch diminishes, there should be a few more upgrades made available.

Petition for Audible Support for Zen Mi

We demand Audible support for Zen Touch (and all new MP3 players from Creativ

I am flabbergasted!
A BIG company like Creative working with a Firmware for secure "music" files for 2 month and then don't deli'ver "audible" ready files at the same time?
(if Creative don't know, Audible books are almost a must on a MP3 player now a day and if not supported the player is absolete)
It is said in another thread that Creative don't have any income from making firmware and therfore we can't expect them to do so.
What a missunderstanding!!!
Firmware is one of the most lucrati've tools Creative have, and if not done, one for the most damaging tools they have for future sales.
Let say they put out a couple of firmware upgrade each year. Listen to the customer and try to give them what they want or make sure that the player work like it is supposed too.
Well in dooing this they have a big global customer base praising Creatives name to friends and relati'ves, and it's most likely that Creative's products will be on their next shopping list.
Do it the "Creative" way...let it go 2 month...let your customer have as little as possible and tell me that this is the way to go.
I tell you:::: the same customer base tells friends and relati'ves that this company are " not customer friendly" they might have some good product, but don't expect to much if it don't work. Creative products will almost ceartain not stand on my next shopping list!
Who will now say that developing firmware don't pay off? You have to use millons in ads just to try to repair some of the damages done by lacking of support.
Some of you have made critic to moderators and Crati've employees. Thats wrong!
The only one to blame is Creative management, if they don't know how customer relation work, then they make take a course!
Remember time with "free" entrance to every new PC is gone, now you have to start fighting for your customers.
Have a nice day

"I guess a new firmware comes out only when there are sufficient complains, demands or a major problem with the current firmware. "
Yea, looks like that, but in dooing it this way they are on defence. Defence gives few happy customers because they have to ask and ask agein. When it comes the customer take the credit for it and Creative are just sitting with the blame.
If they on the other side try to figure out what is popular in the current situation, try to give their customer this, they are on "attac" situation.
This way customer will praise "the company" and feel that it takes care of it's assets. A big customer base with happy customers (never all, can never be managed) is a great asset to any firm and specialy if you like Creative want to make many diffrent models of the same product, because it's her you find the customers that always are on look for the newest and most popular thing and that is what these customer make an item, or destroy it.
Have a nice day

AUDIBLE SUPPORT FOR MICRO WHEN???

What is wrong with Creative, and not giving audible support of the creative micro. Is there any plan at all? Creative, why are you limiting the capabilities of you MP3 player? Why are you depriving your customer of have access to Audible audiobooks support? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE AUDIBLE SUPPORT FOR CREATIVE MICRO?

It may be true that Creative did not advertise Audible support with the Zen Micro, but some of its retail partners did. Crutchfield had a special sale with a $00 discount toward a Zen Micro after subscriibing to Audible.com. Also, the main competition for the Micro is the iPod Mini, and it fully supports Audible files. I would think Creative would want to eliminate that competiti've advantage before too many people realize the only choice is to go to an iPod if they are Audible subscribers. I can't believe there is a technological barrier here, so it must be a licensing issue with Audible and other content providers such as Napster and Music Match. Why else would Creative leave us in the learch?
Without any hope that Creative intends to provide Audible support, I think it is time to put my Micro up for sale on e-Bay switch to an iPod Mini. Apple got where it is by listening to its customers...

Audible Support for Creative Zen

Hi there,?I have just purchased Creative Zen Wav from the following site.
?http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/crea...uilt-speakers/?The device has arri'ved, the sole purpose I bought this one is to listen to Audible audio book.
There seems to be quite a lot of Creative devices on Audible's supported device list, along with the following keyword on the site. ......[*]Supported Music Services: Audible Ready.
<[/list]...... It turn out, however, that this device has not yet supported Audible audio format. I suggest Creative put a very clear keyword on the advertisement or product description (esp. on the Compare page) saying "This device DOES NOT SUPPORTED Audible audio (yet) ."???

DM,
I agree. I'm sure the other players were in the works or close to being ready to release when these came out. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I was so disappointed when the Zen Touch was not added to Audible after I was told before purchase it would be, so now I aggrevate Creative about Audible. I do hope they add Audible support to the new players. I hate that I bought the ZSP and then it won't be Audible compatible. I like the Zen Vision M.

Greek Language Support for Zen To

The majority of my music collection is Greek songs and it'ss a real shame that Creative does NOT have language support for Greek. I tried entering a song in Greek letters since I have dual language support on my Windows XP. When I look at the Media Source Transferring program, the file name seems to be recognized and doesn?t seem as if there is a problem. However when I view the song title on my Creative Zen Touch (V 2..0 Plays for Sure) the characters are stretched out funny and doesn?t read accent marks similar to how I posted the example bellow.
A l l I [] s m e a f [ ] s e s ( These [ ] are due to accent marks I guess not being recognized Also pretend this is in Greek letters since this board won?t let me post it in Greek?)
Is there any way around this? It doesn?t seem like such a hard thing for the Creative people to fix?
The sad thing is that Apple actually has Greek language support and to me this is a huge importance to me. I don?t like writing my Greek song titles in Latin characters, it just seems silly.

Hi Colorfinger,
I also own a Zen Touch and have exactly the same problem you have detailed below with the majority of the music I have loaded to the player as it is in greek and the player doesn't support it. I also have the majority of my music library in greek characters in Windows XP due to the cataloguing issues which arise if the track information is left in latin characters.
When I contacted Creative last year in regards to this they advised me they did not have greek language support for their players and had no plans on offering it in the future either. This of course makes the music library on the Zen Touch an absolute joke, irrespecti've of whether the track information has been loaded onto the player with greek or latin characters. If it has been loaded with latin characters you have the same artist appearing in various areas of the library due to the non standardised spelling of greek words in english. They are either typed phonetically, in greeklish or best guess english. If the track information is in greek, well we have the problem you have outlined in regards to the stress mark not being recognised, the spacing and the alphabetization of the library being a joke when the first letter ot either the artist/album/song is preceded by a stress mark.
I have to admit to being very disappointed as the main reason I purchased a Creative Zen touch is because I had been advised it had multiple language support and I did want to load all my music to the player with greek characters.
To anyone else out there with the same problem, make yourselves known and start asking for firmware updates to include greek language support, especially for people buying Creative's players in Greece.Message Edited by Tomaraki on 09-30-2006 06:00 PM

Mac support for zen mi

i'm planning on buying an ibook/macbook soon...
and apparently there's no support for mac with regards to zen micro (or any player for that matter)
so might need to change to an ipod soon if there is no update for support of macOS.
don't want to use bootcamp too.

Yeah, there's an unofficial but working program that is comptabible with Creative players. It is called XNJB and has been confirmed to work on macs (specifically with zen micro and Vision:M). Here's the link:

What is the technical reason for lack of Audible support on Zen Micro and othe

This is addressed to the any Creative developer who reads this. I am a developer and find it hard to understand why a relati'vely brain-dead product like a 28 Meg Muvo Nomad can support Audible but the more powerful Zen Micro's cannot.
Can someone give us the technical reason for this?

I dont think there is a technical reason behind it. A simple firmware update should be able to support Audible, OGG, and the rest of formats that the player does not support.

Problems with support for zen microph

first, let me say i think the zen microphoto is great (my first mp3 player).
however i have tried, through this forum, the help lines and local duistributors to get to the bottom of the charging issue and noone can give a definiti've answer! i would have thought the question "can a zen microphoto be charged with any uni'versal USB wall cherger" is a simple one, but noone knows the answer!!!
so you ask all the stores that sell microphotos (by phoning approx 70 different stores from six different franchises), and they sell you four different kinds of uni'versal wall chargers, but none of them actually charge the device, yet when you return them they say they do work, but if they dont we dont know why. so you ask them how to get to the bottom of it and they say we dont actually know how to charge this product so call the help line.
so you call the help line, and the only answer you get is "we dont recommend anything other than the creative charger, and here are the distributors details", but they are incapable of answering the initial simple question.
so you call the distributors, who dont actually know what part to look for, and they say it doesnt matter anyway becasue we dont sell to the public and you should go to the stores that sell the zen microphoto!
so you ring the help line again, and they give you a different phone number to ring. so you ring it and they say yes we have the uni'versal power adaptor, but the only way to get them is to send a checque then we dispatch the goods! since when did economies and good sales companies revolve around sending cheques!!! not to mention if you did your still not entirely sure of if you get the right thing as they have no clue as to why there may be an issue.
and then you look for someone from creative to give some feedback to and theres no way of doing that either! so now i have an expensi've paperweight for my 3 week holiday next week as i cannot get a check of to the other side of the country (im in perth, western australia) and get the adaptor returned (via mail by the way, thats the only way we do it) before i leave. and surprise surprise i am not taking a computer with me on a 3 week motorcycling tour of the country.
Wake up creative, support your products properly, inform your customers of the restrictions on how to charge your devices without a computer, and the difficultis in sourcing said charging equipment, becaues it doesnt matter how good your mp3 players are if they cant be recharged easily. is anybody from creative listening?

"if i HAVE to have a wall charger that works"?
no i was thinking id get one that didnt work so it could sit in a corner doing nothingwith the unchargeable zen!
the point of the story is that i, like may others, do not travel with a computer so i need a charger. I do not mind buying a creative one, however they are very difficult to get (especially when the help line people dont know what to get).
conversely, it is very easy to get a "uni'versal" one from anywhere. so i am going on a motorcycle trek and the four electronic devices i am taking (which all charge off USB) all need there own chargers - surely any person, biased or not, can see that in this day and age this shouldnt be needed?
i wont be at all suprised when i get a creative one that iot won charge anything else...
the other point is - support people should be able to say if uni'versal chargers will work or not and let me worry about the warranty. however the fact is they do not know the answer - as mentioned i have tried four different ones (2 of which are the same specs as the battery) and they do not work - why cant anyone tell me why?
. when he said "that works" I am 99% certain he implied "that works with your player" and not that you would want one that didn't work at all.
2 - 4.
Because every company makes power supplies that work with other stuff than their product.
no, it's a sad state of afairs, but the general flow in the electronics business is to make PSU's that matches your own power specs only, if they just happen to coincide with other products it's great, but not one company goes "we need to make sure people can charge their iPod and Zen players with the PSU for this discman"

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).

Zen Sleek Photo: support for Album A

As the title already says: will there be support for Album Art for the Zen Sleek Photo in future firmware versions?

Yes I also ask the same question. I ordered mine earlier this week and thought the sleek would support album art. I actually downloaded MediaMonkey and took about 6+ hours going thru and organizing everything and making sure every album had an album cover. Please Creative just fix this one setback and it would be an even sweeter player then it already is! I couldn't afford to get a ZVM but the Sleek Photo was the next best thing. Please we're not asking much just help us out. There are people out here that still use your earlier players and are being left in the dust...don't leave us there when we know that you can fix it or provide us a way to fix it. Thanks!

Zen V Plus support for Office 2007 Supp

Hi All?Anybody heard when the Zen V PLus will have support for Office 2007 to be able to synchronize contacts, etc.Message Edited by stevenvj on 06-20-200703:20 AM

well, I got a very very quick response from Creative. I don;t know if what they said to do will solve my problem but they sent a very detailed list of things to do so we are now off to copy the info from our zen v pluses in case we lose what we put on them and will post an update to let you all know if we solved this and how. While I am not impressed with the product at this moment if this works? then I will be very impressed with how this has been handled so far....

A video codec or support for a compressed format (ZEN

i was wondering if creative could include support for some form of compressed video format in the next firmware release for the Creative Zen V Plus. i ask this as the supplied video converter uses incredibly large amounts of space even for a small video file since the avi is uncompressed (afaik)
could support possibly be added for wmv or something as that is relati'vely small and it would be great if the player could support it.
please reply as this is a very common 'issue' for most owners of this mp3 player.

PSE 4 does do 16 bit - although there are a limited number of things you can do at that depth.
It has essentially no support for actions.
