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.

  • 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

  • A few questions regarding the Zen Mi

    #: I can't use my Zen Micro while it is charging through the USB port in my PC.
    #2: I can't simply stop music from playing, only pause, until the function it was asked to do is completed, but since I use the "random play all" function, that does take a while. I have only been able to stop it playing (aside from shutting it down) by asking it to play only one track and fast forwarding to the very end of the song.

    You would be better to have posted this in the MP3 players forum.
    . Is that a question or a statement? You can use the player while charging via USB, yes.
    2. There's no stop button. As you've found you can effecti'vely "stop" the track either with pause, or a combination of pause and RW/FF. More here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

  • A few questions regarding the Zen Mic

    . Should I take off the sticker in front of the Zen Micro's buttons and screen that it came with?
    2. Why can't I listen to the radio while browsing the menu items?
    3. There's this radio station: B00 who's # is 99.7 But whenever I go to this other station 96.5 it's all staticky and its playing B00 in the background even though that station is called Mix 96.5

    . Yes, it makes it hard to use otherwise. I cut the protector in half and left the other half over the screen.
    2. This is the way the firmware is designed.
    3. Sounds like bad reception.

  • 2 questions regarding the zen vision

    Hey everyone, here goes:
    . I noticed that when i look at the trtack time while playing a song, the track time sometimes freezes up. for example, im at :5, then 6: then all of a sudden im at :8 already. The audio i being played brilliantly, its just the track time thats confusing me.
    2. Is there a firmware version that will allow you to display album art full screen when you press the touchpad. On the ipod pressing the circle in the middle shows rating, and then album art. I wish the vision m would have this function. any ideas?
    many thanks

    Despite the fact that the first segment you posted was a statement and not a question at all, i'll try to take a jab at what you mean. This also happens on my device. I love the device but it is all the little things that scream for a large firmware overhaul, which it seems that in this life, Creative will not ever provide. Currently my device is experiencing the Black Screen of Death and I am heavily disappointed with Creative. Concerning your second question, I do not believe this feature to be available.

  • How Come on the zen xtra

    How come on the zen xtra there is no "top 25 played" playslit or anything like that. i was recently playing around with a micro and i saw that there were playlist like that on the player. Can anyone answer that question for me?

    I have been experiencing some extraordinary behavior with my Xtra. It seems to be deliberately choosing music for me based on genre, title info, even subject matter, when I randomize all tracks. This is no joke! The **bleep** thing knows my music better than I do, and some of the time it seems to be making fun, or even historical points, with some of my musical tracks. This could be a coincidence but with 5000 tracks representing every musical genre known it isn't likely. Could the firmware be capable of making these decisions based on track-tagging? I don't know. But it has made for some very interesting listening sessions.

  • 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...

    I will address your second question.
    First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs.  If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option.  Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

  • I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage".

    I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage". I followed everything and check everything that was in it. It's still the same. I am still not able to send a photo. It started happening last week. It was fine before that. There is no error message.
    It will try to send but it will get stuck just before it sends
    and the red ! will appear with the "Not Delivered" status.
    When i tap on the !, it just says "This iMessage was not delived".
    No other message or photo is sending as the same time as the photo.
    I did reset it, I checked the email address, removed it as well. Turned it off then back on. Signed out and signed back in. Wi-Fi strength is very good. iOS is 6.0.1. I checked for updates, it is up-to-date I also checked a link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755. It did not help at all.
    What's wrong?!?!?!?!

    It is not a matter of reconsidering the decision. There are unsolveable technical problems with trying to run a program such as Firefox on Blackberry OS. We would need Blackberry to distribute a tool similar to Android's NDK to run on Blackberries.

  • Some simple questions regarding the Xcode.

    I have some preliminary questions regarding the Xcode (objective C):
    What is the difference between the programming files followed by .h and .m?
    What does an asterisk * followed by a text mean (i.e. *window;)?
    Is there any source that briefly explains the most common codes with examples (nsstring, nsarray, iboutlet, inaction.....etc)?
    Any other tips will be highly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Xcode is the IDE.
    Objective-C is the most common language used within Xcode.
    UIWindow *window .....  the * means return the address of the instance variable 'window'.
    An * is called a pointer to a variable.

  • Question regarding the "mcxquery" and "dscl -mcxread" commands:

    Question regarding the mcxquery and dscl -mcxread commands:
    Does anyone know why the mcxquery and the dscl . -mcxread commands don't show any info about MCX managed login items & printers? The System Profiler's "Managed Client" section does. Id like to see info regarding managed printers and managed login items using the mcx tools. I have Mac users running 10.5.2 with both login items and printers that are pushed out to them via MCX. The System Profiler app shows all of their policies, but the dscl . -mcxread and mcxquery tools dont. Why not?

    How do you "call procedures/functions" without sql code? You need at least the call statement like
    {call myProc(?,?,?)}that you wrap into a CallableStatement.
    Other than that: when you switch off autocommit, you need to call commit/rollback at the end. Usually, if you don't commit/rollback a non-autocommitted connection, the transaction get's committed/rollbacked when you close the connection - that depends on the JDBC driver. But it's never a good idea to ommit the commit/rollback calls on a non-autocommit connection. Usually you enclose your code in a try/catch block like this:
    con.setAutocommit(false);
    try {
       con.commit();
    } catch (Exception e) {
       con.rollback();
    } finally {
        con.setAutocommit(true); //or:
        con.close();
    }

  • Strategies to keep the Zen Xtra cover from popping o

    OK - I had heard that the Zen Xtra cover pops off easy before I bought it and thought it couldn't be all that bad
    But it seems like all I have to do is touch my player sometimes and the cover pops off
    I put a piece of tape on the latch on the bottom so I couldn't jostle it just as soon as I got it and saw what a hair trigger it was - but it seems like sometimes I just pick it up (maybe squeezing the sides a bit) and the cover pops off?
    My refurbished Zen Xtra didn't come with a case - maybe that helps prevent the cover from popping?
    Any other strategies or fixes from folks who have dealt with this irritating feature? (Sound quality wise I'm VERY happy with it... but I can see where this might continue to be a major annoyance over time)

  • Question regarding the Transformation activity in BPEL

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding the Transformation activity in BPEL.
    I have a database adapter that uses a PL/SQL API. The API returns two tables of nested objects and it automatically generates a schema for me based on the outputs structure. I need to use the Transformation activity to map both these out parameters to root element in the destination.
    The element in the destination is "unbounded". Please take a look at the following screen shot -
    http://www-apps.us.oracle.com:1100/~rvishnuv/transform1.gif
    From the screen shot, you can notice that I have two XML segments X_TEST_TBL and X_TEST_TBL1 in the source and I have one GLOGXMLElement ("unbounded") in the destination. I need to map each of the source elements to the same destination. Then internally, I will be mapping the elements of X_TEST_TBL to "Location" segment/element and the elements of "X_TEST_TBL1" to "ItemMaster" segment/element. If I try to use "foreach" and map second
    element "X_TEST_TBL1" also GLOGXMLElement using the foreach, I get the following error -
    http://www-apps.us.oracle.com:1100/~rvishnuv/transform1_error.gif
    Let us say my X_TEST_TBL contians two records and X_TEST_TBL1 contains one record. Is there any way that I can use these two out parameters to map to the same destination (GLOGXMLElement) so that my final document contains multiple "GLOGXMLElement"s that represents data from both the output parameters? i.e. there should be in total of three occurances of GLOGXMLelement in the output document such that two occurances correspond to data obtained from X_TEST_TBL and one corresponds to data from X_TEST_TBL1.
    Please let me know if there is any way to achieve this.
    Thanks
    Ravi
