Question about Creative Zen Xtra (60 G

Hey guys, I am seriously considering buying a Creative Zen Xtra, but I had one question: Does the Xtra play Mp3 VBR's? I have a lot of these, and I want to make sure they are compatible. Thanks, cya.

Yes, all Creative's players play VBR files.

  • Some questions about creative zen vision m?????????????

    hi, i just have a few questions about the creative zen vision m

    4) if not would i be able to burn my songs from itunes and use the c.d. to put them on my creative?
    thank you so much i'v looked all over the internet and i could't hide any answers.

    . There are MANY transmitters out there. I recommend searching back for past threads with recommendations.
    2. Yes, if they are in a suitable format.
    3. I already gave you a link in a previous question to a thread all about this. Please don't post duplicate questions.
    4. With iTunes you either need to burn the tracks to a CDRW, then convert to MP3/WMA, or use a program like JHymn to convert (Google JHymn).

  • Questions about Creative Zen MP3 Players.....which one to b

    I had a Rio Carbon 6GB and I really love it (until it died on me), and I heard that Creative Zen 8GB, Creative Zen Micro 8 GB, Creative Zen V Plus?8GB are good choices to buy? I have readed all reviews from PC World, CNET, MSN, and all three sound good, but what are main differences between them that I need take in to consideration before I buy? I also I have read that you can replace the battery in all of them....is this true? What is the battery life before it needs to be replaced and how much? Thanks

    If you listen to a lot of audiobooks, then I personally recommend the Zen V Plus 2, 4 or 8 GB. It doesn't have a user replaceable battery.
    The battery is is built into the player. The audiobooks and albums seem much easier to find and use than on the Zen Micro. You can find these players on the Creative Savings Center refurbished for about half the price of a new player. (The Zen Micro, you can find on eBay used The refurbished Zen V Plus Players I have received when ordering, have been brand new and work just fine. They have a 90 day parts/labor warranty. I consider the 2GB Zen V Plus to be a throw-away(when or if it breaks after the warranty) at $35.99 plus shipping.

  • Many questions about the Zen Xtra 30

    I have 4 questions: . Do you have to use EAX to have your songs play at the same sound level?
    I was reading somewhere(dont remember, I think the online product manual) and it said if you use the EAX technology, then your songs will all play at the same sound on the Zen, rather than depend on how the sound level was at when the song was recorded. I dont have the right sound card, so I cant use EAX.
    2. Does the Zen make any sounds when you push any of the buttons?
    I plan on using this during study hall and i dont want some beep to get me caught.
    3. Can you delete songs off the Zen without loading them back onto a computer?
    3.5 If you can delete a song without a computer, does the Zen recycle the space into free space?
    4.Where do you get your music from online?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    .) The EAX function on the Xtra has an option to limit sound volume for all songs when enabled. I found this to be useful when listening late at night (so loud drum clashes aren't louder than everything else, for example)... I'm not sure I fully understand your question but I hope that answered it.
    2.) It does not make any noise when clicking the buttons. It's pretty silent; you can only notice light "clicks" from button pushing if the room is completely silent and you listen very closely. The clicks from depressing the buttons surely won't disturb anyone around you, though.
    3.) Yes.
    3.5.) When it's deleted, it's erased... so you'll have the amount of free space as if the song wasn't there in the first place.
    4.) I have my methods... Mostly a technique of getting MP3's from my Real Rhapsody subscription, though

  • Question about Creative zen micro 6

    I am debated wether to buy this mp3 player. But I need one that comes with an adapter so you can power the battery anywhere and not just on your computer with USB. Does anybody know if this mp3 player comes standard with such an adapter?
    Regards,
    Mieke

    Thank you for your quick anwser. I know that the zen photo doesn't have it. There it is stated more clearly. As I am on a tight budget I would prefer to buy one that does include an adapter.

  • Questions regarding the Zen Xtra 60GG HDD Playe

    I am thinking about getting a HDD mp3 player. So far, Creative Zen Xtra 60GB and iAudio M3 are my final two choices. Creative is long known for its sound related product so I thought it should have good sounds quality even though I have not yet try any of its players. iAudio, in the other hand, I have tried before and the bass is simply amazing even with some crappy headphone. iAudio seemed to be nice for its long lasting battery (the actual use is approx 0 hrs) and its slim size. However, Zen Xtra seemed to be a good choice as well for its price (which is the most important thing anyway... ) as well as the large capacity since I will use this as a portable HDD. The following are just some questions that I think only the actual owner can answer:
    . How long is the actual battery life for this player?
    2. Does this player require the Creative software or driver to be installed in order for it to be connected with computer and transfer files, or it is trully a plug-n-play?
    3. Does it have a relati'vely strong bass?
    Thank you very much for answer my questions~~~If there are some better mp3 player that would suit my need, please let met know as well. I am open to suggestions.

    . For the Xtra it's around 2 hours, but this is benchmarked using 4 minute 28 kbit/s MP3 files. If you have higher bit-rate files, use WMAs etc. the battery life will be reduced accordingly.
    2. Yes, it needs both drivers and software. A firmware release is purported to be coming which will allow driverless access, but only with Windows XP, and of course there's no 00% guarantee it will be released.
    3. The bass enhancement via the EQ is anecdotally not good. If you have heaphones with good bass response this is about as much as you can do.

  • Creative Zen Xtra 30gb

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if any techie guys can help me out here. I bought a 30gb Creative Zen Xtra about 4 years ago. I used to regualy syncronize it with my pc at home. Then one day my hard disk on my PC decided to give up the ghost and died. I carried on using my mp3 player as it was for a while without actually resetting the connection up with my PC. Then one day went about sorting it out but whilst i was in the process, which I would start and often come back to whilst trying to get all the correct drivers etc, it was plugged in via USB and must have fallen off my computer desk and unfortunatly ripped the USB connection component from the mp3 players board. As it was quite an old player anyway I thought i'd have a go at repairing it myself, rather than spend money on what is esentially a bulky 4 year old mp3 player, but I have since given up trying to repair it. Although now I would like to try and transfer the mp3's, which are on the fujitsu 2 /2 inch IDE, dri've to my PC. I have tried using an IDE to USB converter to try and connect it as an additional dri've on my PC which it detects but won't bring it up as an additional dri've (i assume because it's not NTFS or FAT32 formatted). I have also tried using Linux based Fedora to try and mount the dri've, also without any luck (although i'm not overly familiar with using fedora). Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get the information off my dri've, as I would like to buy a new Creative mp3 player and just transfer all these mp3's from my computer rather than have to re-record the hundreds of cd's I had uploaded over time to my Zen Xtra. Also if I have posted this in the wrong section please let me know and I will move the post. Cheers, Gary.Message Edited by hirsty on 09-27-200704:42 PM

    I don't know but I certainly hope so!!! It really sucks that my Zen Xtra was bought 2 months too soon and doesn't work with Napster to go!!! I am reallllly hoping that Creative and Napster will work together so that all the creative models will work with Napster to Go!

  • Creative Zen Xtra USB Driv

    I need USB drivers for this player. Can somebody help me?

    He is probably having the same problem I am.
    All the drivers for the are installed before the player is connected. The Zen Xtra is connected afterwards.
    The player connects with Windows XP, is recognized as the Creative Zen Xtra, but when after telling the system to install the drivers, it wants to connect with Windows Update to continue. After the attempt, it says that the drivers for the device were not found.
    Looking in the Device Manager reveals that the Zen Xtra has a Code error - The Device is not Configured Properly. All the driver details are Not Available/Unknown.
    I have attempted to install this player on 2 different systems with the same result. The Zen Xtra plays and otherwise functions normally. My Firmware Version is 2.0.03. One computer is an AMD64 with Windows XP SP2, the other is an AMD Sempron with Windows XP SPa.
    I hope this hel

  • Creative Zen Xtra stopped loading music with 5.7g space left? H

    Ive been using my 30g Creative zen xtra for close to two years loading ripped cds using mediasource. I have .20.8 firmware and have had no problem.Last night with zen showing 5.7 gis of space left I tried to load a few ripped cds as usual using mediasource and usb. The action went the same as usual with mediasorce telling me songs were being tranfered but when completed they were not in player. I tried it a few tims with different usb ports and cords but still songs not in player. The only thing Ive done different is last week I used player interface to delete one cd and it went fine.
    My biggest fear is having to reload close to ten thousand songs back into my Zen Xtra if i loose them trying to get transferring to work again. If I use the scandisc feature would that cause my library to need to be reloaded?Perhaps i should just leave well enough alone and just use the zen as a player of all my music and not try to fix it. I know there is 5.7 gigs of space left,I have been encoding my songs at 96 bites so space should not be an issue.Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks [email protected]

    Would clean up from recovery mode help solve this problem without loosing my music content?
    Hard to say whether it will help but you can try. Cleanup shouldn't delete any of the content unless the player has gone completely haywire.

  • Any alternate sites that sell good Creative Zen Xtra case

    Besides the included Travel Case, I'm wondering if there are any other cases made for the Creative Zen Xtra mp3 players. Thanks!

    Yep the Vaja cases are awesome, with an awesome price tag
    I would love to get one for my Rio Karma though (when the mortgage comes through )

  • HILFE......Creative Zen Xtra Firmware Prob

    Hallo, leider kann ich nicht englisch, aber meine Hoffnung ist, dass hier jemand deutsch versteht und ich hier Hilfe bekomme. Ich habe mir einen MP3 Player gekauft. Und zwar einen
    Creative Zen Xtra 30 GB.
    Da ich dachte, dass der Player mit neuer Firmware noch besser funktionieren w rde, habe ich versucht die Firmware 2.0.3.0 zu installieren.
    Aber w hrend dem Installieren gab es einen Stromausfall und jetzt geht gar nichts mehr. Jetzt meldet der Player immer: Firmware Problem.
    Wenn ich auf Arbeitsplatz gehe, ist der Player aufgef hrt. Aber wenn ich die neue Firmware laden will, erscheint immer: Player nicht angeschlossen.
    Ich habe es mit Media Player 9 und 0 und probiert, mit dem gleichen Resultat.
    Auf dem Arbeitsplatz erscheint der Player als Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. Wenn ich ihn dann durch Doppelklick ffne, erscheint Storage Media und darunter steht 20.0 MB frei von 20.0 MB.
    Ich bin eine Hausfrau und habe nicht besonders viel Ahnung von all diesen Dingen. Ich m chte nur, dass mein Player wieder funktioniert und ich meine Musik und meine H rb cher wieder h ren kann.
    Bitte, bitte, kann mir jemand helfen
    F r eure Hilfe jetzt schon ein grosses DANKE.

  • Questions about the Zen TO

    i am planning to buy the zen touch because its cheap and a good value, but however, the lack of accessories scares me a little. Will creative design a case especially for it, because its really not comfortable taking it out and putting it back in with the included case, creative needs to make a case that allows users to use the touch without taking it out. I heard creative is going to release a brand new firmware for the touch, i really think the folks at creative need to bring back the eax feature, the calendar just like the old zen xtra.
    Here are my questions though,
    If i buy the fm wired remote for the touch, will that activate the eax function,
    also is there any docks availible for the zen touch, i read somewhere that the belkin dock for dell dj is compatible with the touch, i just want to confirm with the creative staff that this is compatible so it doesnt destroy my touch when i buy it.
    Thanks for any replies,
    Sergey

    Spetznaz24,
    The FM Wired Remote will not activate EAX on the Zen Touch. This has to be incorporated directly into the player and it is not at this time. I do not have any information on new cases however I will pass your case suggestion on. I also cannot guarantee anything about 3rd party adaptors made for other products.

  • Can someone answer these lovely question about the Zen Vision: M plz

    I know we don't know much yet, so from what what we know, can someone answer me?
    Or can a mod?
    . Will it have the same crap firmware in every Zen mp3 player (Sorry to call it that, but it's my personal opinion)? The main reason I changed to an Ipod was the firmware of the Zen Xtra :\. I loved it, loved the sound quality, but then... I have no need for file manipulation on the mp3 player itself, and it presented a problem. All that added crap made you click 6 times just to play one song!
    And then you had to add an album to your playlist to get it to play...
    After awhile, it drove me nuts... I wanted something simple, I just wanted to play my music, not shuffle thru a bunch of crap to get there!, and went for an Ipod.
    I dunno... one of the reasons I'm liking the look of this is that it copies the Ipod firmware. It seems Creative now knows what it's doing... Or does it's Is the copied part only the front, and I would have to click 6 times to play one song? I must know.
    2. Will it have all the extras of an Ipod, games, contacts, calender, notes, etc? FM radio is a plus.
    3. What is the sound quality on this one?
    4. Will this one... have a headphone jack problem while I own it's Don't take this last question seriously... Or do :X

    Actually seeing as Creative's firmware came first it would seem Apple copied Creative. The iPod firmware and library manipulation is very similar to the Creative players, having played briefly with an iPod.
    Also you talked before about the difficulty with queuing a track, but couldn't describe a better system. Can you explain how the iPod makes it easier? I don't see any way Creative can make it quicker. You need to access the album/artist, then press the play button. Job done.
    2. Will it have all the extras of an Ipod, games, contacts, calender, notes, etc? FM radio is a plus.
    I doubt games and notes, we've never had anything like this to-date.
    A Mod or owner can tell you for sure of course.
    3. What is the sound quality on this one?
    SnR is allegedly 97dB. Of course the subjecti've sound quality is one for the users to debate when there are shipping and several folks here at least have one. I doubt a Mod can tell you anything different.
    4. Will this one... have a headphone jack problem while I own it's Don't take this last question seriously... Or do :X
    If Creative haven't learned their lesson from the Micro and Xtra, well...
