????? REMOVING MUSIC ON ZEN SLEEK??

can someone tell me how to remove the music on my zen sleek please?
or how do i delete them?
im selling it for a better one and i need to clear it

You can manually remove the music when you're on the PC, or a quicker way to do it would be to format the player. You can do this in Rescue Mode:
Detach the Zen player from your computer, and ensure that the Zen Sleek is turned off.
Connect the power supply to the player.
Hold down the Play/Pause button while inserting a paper clip into the Reset hole underneath your player, beside the data/power connector. Keep on holding the Play/Pause button while you release the Reset button. The Rescue Mode screen will then appear.
After the recovery mode has started, release the Play/Pause button </LI>

My zen sleek photo does not show any of my music I transfe

my method transfer is going to removeable disk and set it to 6GB (i guess its max) and than transfer all my folders/songs here.
But when the copy is done and i eject the removable disk and I check my zen sleek for any music nothing shows up.
they are all mp3s and I'm pretty sure its all supported by the zen sleek.
If it matters I have the set up like this:
Removable Disk Root::
Soft Rock
|_________Artist Folder
|________Artist albums
|_____________mp3s
Alternati've
|_________Artist Folder
|____________mp3s
Trance
|_________Artist Folder
|____________mp3sClassical
|_________Artist Folder
|____________mp3s
Any ideas or fix for this? (i can not transfer music when the zen sleek is connected as MTP so removable disk or a UMS connect mode is my only option)

Zen Sleek -WMP 11 - PC Music Library -Playli

Since December I have been unable to create/edit/delete any playlists using the PC Music Library, ?my preferred method with Creative MediaSource Organiser, on my Zen Sleek 20GB which was bought in Sept 05?& has performed wonderfully until then. In fact the PC Music Library doesn't seem to recognise the Zen Sleek even though it is connected and confirms as much. The Zen Sleek &?the PC Music Library don't seem to synchronise when new tracks are being imported.Around this time I did download Windows Media Player , at first without being aware of the compatability issues and the firmware requirements. I have corrected these and upgraded where required. I have rolled back to WMP0 but this has not changed anything and have indeed gone back to WMP because of this. The only (marginal) success with playlists is with using the Organiser's synchronisation facility but it is very inconsistent in transferring files.Any Suggestions

Transfering music from Napster To Go to Creative Zen Sleek Photo probl

Hello
I have a Creative Zen Sleek Photo with Napster To Go. I have Windows XP home edition. I can rip a CD to the hard dri've
of the computer and transfer music to the mp3 player, but I am receiving a message when trying to transfer music files
from Napster To Go. The message is the mp3 player will need an update to the firmware to work with Napster To Go.
The Zen Sleek Photo has the latest firmware. I had been able to transfer music from Napster To Go until recently.
Napster support referred me to Creative support but the Sleek Photo is past the warranty. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I had problems for the first month of my Napster membership (while I was still in the trial period). I nearly went elsewhere, but stayed with it. As soon as the trial period was over, everything worked perfectly. One suggestion is to use the same software for everything. Whether you use Creative media source, Napster's own software or media explorer or any of the others, stick with that one only. Do not give up and go to itunes. What a waste of money!?If you need to reload firmware or try another software, it's worth it.
I also had some issues getting help. Napster said the problem was with Creative and Creative said the problem was with Napster. Don't give up. Can you get ripped songs in?

Creative Zen Sleek Music Compatibil

Does anybody know if the creative zen sleek will work with Wal mart music downloads? And anyone who has this player..where do you get your music from? Thank you for your help

All current Creative MP3 players, except possibly (per a report or two) the very first batch of MicroPhotos released in Singapore, will play purchased WMA DRM files (such as Wal-Mart Music Downloads), whether PlaysForSure-compatible or not. (The MicroPhotos now on sale in the US support both purchased and subscription DRM.)

Zen Sleek non-removable battery!! You're kiddi

infosyncworld.com had this to say in its preview:
"Providing an interface to the functionality of the Zen Sleek is its 2" monochrome, blue backlit LCD screen, whilst connectivity is provided by means of a 3.5 mm stereo earphone jack and USB 2.0. The latter also offers charging of the rechargeable, non-exchangeable Lithium Ion battery of the audio player."
What are Creative playing at? This has seriously made me second think my decision to buy one of these. At least with the Micro you can change the battery when the old one has conked out!
What should I buy people, the Sleek or Micro? (I could fit my music collection on either)

lets just say, after about one year, ur battery dies. ok? the reason there isnt a user replaceable battery is to give it sleekness, making it look so much like the Dell DJ and iPod, but more like the Dell DJ if u look at it carefully. You might want the micro is u wanna save money of buying batteries. when the zen Sleek battery dies, it will cost around $00 US to replace it, plus u gotta ship it to Creative. With the zen micro, it cost $40 for a battery and all u gotta do is order it online from Creative. MUCH MORE CONVIENT eh?

Zen sleek removable d

not a major problem but still annoying: when i try and format the removable disk to partition some of the disk space on my zen sleek, it begins the process but then displays random numbers, ie "200% complete", even huge numbers like "0000% complete", and then just displays an error message. i have tried the disk clean up but hasnt worked, still having the same problem.
any help appreciated

With Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), yes. With a version prior to this, no.
It needs USB mass storage support.

Zen Sleek Touchpad problem - scrolling down acts like a scroll

Yes, a strange problem I ran into today. Everytime I try to scroll down using the touchpad on my Zen Sleek, the cursor moves up instead. It's like the whole touchpad can only move the cursor in one-direction, up. Even if I try to use the rapid-scroll, the cursor just moves up rapidly
This happened yesterday, when on one bar of battery, my Sleek, around the afternoon froze while starting up and I could not restart it because I did not have a paperclip on me. After I get home hours later, I charge my Sleek since the battery died. And, now, today... I am at this rather strange problem.
And, my Sleek hasn't given me problems since I bought it a year ago besides the occasional lockups on one-bar of battery.

Zen Sleek Photo and Podca

I just bought a Sleek Photo to replace my very nice (small capacity) Creative Muvo Sport. My first few hours have been disappointment. Rather than listen to music, my plan was to partition a 4-5 gigs for data backup, and leave the rest for podcasts, and some music.
Although Creative has broken the code on music, they have forgotten about the podcast market. Ideally their software would allow automatic importation of podcasts that could be programmed to be listened to once, and then automatically deleted. They could allow a specially flagged folder to offer this destructi've feature. And an instant delete button sequence could remove any podcast you didn't want to finish.
Unfortunately, podcasts are treated like music... there forever. This make deleting and keeping track of listened to podcasts a problem.
I'd also like to see that the 4+ gigs of space accessible without going to dri've mode. It's such a waste of time. Perhaps Creative could allow the podcasts to be copied to, and listened to in this dri've space leaving their music software features in the protected music space?
Finally, it would nice to watch movies. I am surprised that Creative doesn't offer a $0 firmware upgrade to facilitate that.

Hey Chickybabe,
I also own a Zen Sleek photo, and while I haven't had any of the problems you have mentioned with Napster; one problem you should watch for (currently experiencing it for the 2nd time!) is trying to play your music from Napster and not being able to because you get a message saying that "No license to play this track". And it's a huge problem, as it doesn't just affect one song, but your ENTIRE library. I fixed it once and am trying to find out how to do it again. Once I do, I'll probably leave Napster, but I will probably have to download ALL my music again.

Zen sleek photo questions re: connect

[Zen Sleek Photo]. Is it possible to operate the device without installing the software. I'm considering removing the software because it is taking up too much space and not being helpful. I would like to use WMP, not sure which version, because that's where all my music is anyway. 2. how can i install drivers, etc if the device is not recognized by the computer, and in the instatllation process, this is a definite step. and how can i install updated drivers before connecting the device if this is also the case?3. what is the point of trying my zen on another computer if all the music i want to load onto it is on this computer, and that would mean installing the software first on another computer and that's not really feasible.
should i install the play for sure cd and forget my music is in WMP, is this program more suitable for dealing with these devices?

it's actually sold in some stores in Singapore (Creative's headquarters, therefore-all products are available to them first). If their smart, they'll release it by November, I know too many people who prefer the iPod to the Zen Sleek simply because they want it to be color. Color sells.
I have never seen it in Singapore. Also, we don't get all the new stuff. In fact, I haven't seen an actual Sleek, much less Sleek Photo. However, we do have the Microphoto.

Zen Sleek Photo- the backgrou

I have recently recieved another zen sleek photo as i broke my previous one. I am extremely pleased with it, however, the photo/ backgrounds which came with my new player are not the same as the old ones and there is one inparticular (the blue and orange flowers) that i would like to get back. Please could anyone post back with a way that either i could get them off creative, or perhaps someone would e mail them me.
Thanks, Sarah

The title says ti all. I am on Vista 64, but have tried the well known (or at least well published) solution of trying to reinstall the firmware using XP. I was playing music, then the playlist ended, I switched to a different playlist and the player wouldn't play. I restarted my zen, and it froze at the logo screen. I didn't worry, figured I would flash it when I got home. Plugged it in, let is charge a while just incase. Tried to update it by just downloading the firmware and double clicking. Said the player was not attached, so I detached and reattached it... and found it stuck in recovery mode. Scanned it (clean up), formatted it (tears...), and then finally said screw it and removed the firmware. This was all on the Vista machine.
Why did you erase the firmware?The only thing you may have needed to do was to cleanup>reboot the player. The firmware updater file was written to be used on Xp with WMP0 ONLY so you will have to go back to a XP computer to reload the firmware. If the device completed the scan disc & format successfully then your hardri've should be fine. Charge the battery or have it connected to a wall charger so you don't have a dead battery while doing the firmware reload.

Zen Sleek Touchpad Issu

I got my Zen Sleek about two and a half weeks ago and I've having a big problem with it.
The touchpad isn't working when the Sleek isn't connected to the computer or the power supply. When it's just the Sleek and the headphones, the touchpad won't work. Yesterday I dropped it on the floor and ever since then the touchpad hasn't worked unless it was connected.
I tried resetting it but that didn't do anything except for one time, the volume scroll pad worked but it only went up. If I select an album or a song before I unplug it, then the song still plays but I can't adjust the volume or select a different song unless I plug it in again.
The on/off and the hold button work so at least I can turn it off but I have no idea what I should do.

Creative Zen sleek, folder based explori

Ok, long story short. i upgraded my Zen sleeks firmware, and for my disapoint, i founded out that whit the new firmware i cant use the "Creative media explorer", and im "forced" to use ether the crappy Mediaplayer 0, or the the "drag and drop" function.
The problem is, for example i got folder "AC/DC" where i have lot of ACDC music, some of them are named by only the songs name, some of them are like "AC/DC - Highway to hell", some of them "ACDC - ****" and some of them "AC-DC - ****", now when i transfer that folder to my player, i got artist "AC/DC", "ACDC" "AC-DC" etc etc. Now, is there anyway to get rid of that "Artist, album" etc based browsing, and start to browse my music by folders?
Or, is there anyway to get the new firmware to work whit the creative media explorer? Since whit media explorer it was possible to convert folder names to "Artist names".
thanks. Carl

Cat, this firmware is also available on the Creative US site; though the US Sleek was MTP/Janus out of the box (and its specs require WinXP), the specs didn't show Audible support. So there's definitely also a version of this firmware available that's not subject to EU volume-limiting regulations.
With the similarities between the Sleek and the Micro (similar controls, possibly similar chipsets?), does this indicate that an Audible upgrade is pending for Micro firmware (.x and/or 2.x)? And if so, will the 2.x upgrade also include the battery fixes in ..02?

Creative Zen Sleek Photo Firmware Download does not recognize my pla

My Creative Zen Sleek Photo recently froze up. After restarting it, the "firmware problem" screen popped up. After reading up on it a bit, I decided to first clean, then reformat, and then reload the firmware. Everything went smoothly until I went to load the firmware back onto my Zen.
For whatever reason a screen pops up that says that my device is not connected to the computer, when it, in fact, is. I have tried several things including uninstalling Windows Media Player and repeatedly cleaning and reformatting in hopes that it would recognize it.
I have had no prior problems with the computer recognizing the device and I have loaded quite a bit of music onto it through this computer. Can anyone please help? Any more ideas? Anything will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks?

HelloHave a look at this thread http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ead.php?t=6328?I had a similar problem with a Zen Sleek Photo and I am sure that this was the thread I used to recover the player when a firmware upgrade failed. Regards?

Deanna,
Perhaps try running a Cleanup in Rescue mode first. Also, what are you using to transfer those music? MediaSource or WMP0? Have you also try different software to transfer and see if you face the same thing.
