I don't see anything in there that should give someone cause to "avoid Creative".
I don't think that this will be a constructi've topic at all, and will probably just result in bashing, so I'm closing it.

Which is better? The i-pod or Creatives mp3 playe

I am conducting a survey and I just wanted to know what everyone think. Is the I-pod better than Creatives mp3 players? If it is, why. Also, why is Creative mp3 players better. Thanks for your contribution.

iPods are nice and have a good amount of features. The iTunes online store is fantastic; very easy and nicely priced. You can't fault Apple for what they've been able to do- grab the mindshare for the MP3 market.
However, I have to side with the- SHOCK- WMA side of things.
The problem I wound up having with iTunes is that, if I want to choose a player for my purchased tunes, short of burning/ripping, was to buy an iPod.
However, buying with WMA, you have more choices, and you're not locked in. In fact, when I decided to change MP3 players, I went from a Zen Xtra to a Zen Touch. I really like the Creative brand. The interface is easy, I find, and I don't think Creative Mediasource is the dog that some have made it out to be. I looked at the Samsung YH-925GS, an Ipod (20GB), Zen Micro, and Rio Karma. I kept coming back to the Zen Touch. I think it looks great, handles great, has awesome battery life, is CHEAPER, and is the right size, both physically and with disk space.
So, yes, Creative is better.

Use of two Creative MP3-Play

Hello community,
is it possible to use two Creative MP3-Players (Zen touch(20GB) + Zen micro) on one PC? I don't want to upload the same music on both players.
Thanks for your Answers!
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany
edit: I want to use the automatic actualisation for the files and this is only possible with the "Creative MediaSource Organizer". Is there the possibility to have different profiles for the two players?Message Edited by GoldenEi on 04-3-2006 02:26 AM

I have a Zen Touch and a Creative Muvo and you can connnect them both at the same time on media source. I have no problems with it. As long as you have the latest version for the micro I can't see a problem.

Why we love our Creative mp3 play

Alright, we all know that there are problems with various mp3 players....but let show some love for Creative. Post what you love about your Creative mp3 player!

I've had a 5 Gb Zen Micro for about 8 months now. It's my second DAP.
I returned my Sony MiniDisk in frustration after two days. Its software, copying restrictions [it wouldn't let me burn a copy of tracks that my son's band did onto my CD-R] and the incredibly long time it took to transfer tracks was too much for me.
There was a learning curve for the Zen Micro at first. For a week or two I seriously contemplated returning it, too. All the horror stories on the forum of dead players, faulty jacks made me doubt my purchase.
I stuck with it though, and am glad I did.
The key deal-breaker for me on the iPod was the non-replaceable battery.
There's a certain 'holier than thou' attitude that seems to go with the iBorg that always put me off, too.
Great sound: check
FM radio: check
Features galore: check
User-friendly: check
Replaceable battery: check
All in all, it's a superior value for me.Message Edited by skb on 0-0-2005 07:37 PM

Are you regretting your creative mp3 playe

hey i read some post on how people were regreting ever buying creative mp3s...and most ppl seem to be considering..ipods... DONT!!!!! bad mistake i have a creative n200 and a ipod shuffle they both have same memory but the ipod is soo hard to use..the battrey reads wrong...files dissapear..only last 4 like 3 hours.. i made the biggest mistake wanting an ipod...and yet my n200 works fine..i've dropped it so many times.. and its been thru heck..
check out www.ipodsdirtysecret.com this is the reason i will never use any thing from apple again.. i trusted them

Once I got the hang of how to work my Zen Micro 5G I loved it, and thought it was the best alternati've to the I-Pod. Then I had problems with the battery--then the firmware--now I can't use it at all.
Big complaints:
) Inadequate hands-on instructions: the fact that the instruction manual is not included but had to be downloaded--and you had to KNOW that it had to be downloaded--from their site. May not seem a big deal but I like good step-by-step instructions and problem solving w/o having to always go online. A manual accompanying the player would have saved me a headache or two.
2) Battery charging: Zen's tech support told me that it was bad to leave the player plugged in to the charger for too long, that it would hurt it. Well, that rings kind of false--my b-friend keeps his I-Pod in his charger all teh time and he's never had a problem with it. Same with our cell phones and cordless phones, and dustbuster and all other products.
3) Key pad too sensiti've--enough said there.

Deciding between two creative mp3 play

i am having a hard time choosing which mp3 player to purchase.
in your opinion which would be a better buy,
creative zen nano plus (GB) or creative zen micro (4GB) ?

As per the FAQ, we can't really help you decide what player. You need to look at what features you want.
The Nano and the Micro for example work in quite different ways, as the Nano uses a folder/file system to organise the audio files, and the Micro uses the audio file tag data.

Creative MP3 Play

Dont buy one. The 2 I had just broke and I got the run around from Creative Labs cost more to fix than buying another one. Save yourself the headaches. There all over priced junk. To Creative Labs dont forget to take down my message so no one else can read it. You do want to suck somemore money from other people dont you.

I think these do actually work, but the problem is having enough people who are un-sceptical enough to do it. Otherwise it's too much hassle.
There was an article about these kind of sites on the BBC as well, so don't try and shout at me saying they're scams. Basically they're new ways of companies to advertise products as there's a reward for the person.

Mediasource 5 and non-Creative mp3 play

Can I use Mediasource 5 to transfer music to my Insignia mp3 player?

I?have both?Roxio Creator Suite 2009 ultimate version ..0 build B0E and Mediasource 5.20.23 on my PC (XP SP3) and do not observe that. Mediasource organiser or player open normally, no windows installer launch. Roxio Cineplayer works normally, as do all other parts of the suite.
However, I have not (yet) had?any updates to creator 2009 offered, so maybe that update you mention?is what causes the problem in your case. On the Roxio boards, some report getting offered an update, others not. You could check out there, see if anyone has similar problem, or post there.

Cases for creative mp3 play

I was wondering if anyone knew a good website to purchase a case that would fit my Zen touch. I know there is veja products who makes custom cases. Just wondering if there's somewhere that I could find one that is less expensi've. All suggestions appreciated! Thanks!!

I have been "whining" about the lack of support of the Zen Touch since November of last year. Creative really does not give a darn for the Zen Touch users at this point. Look at the items that have been rolled out in support of the Micro (i.e. 8-0 colors of T-shirts, a new case, etc.). I find it ironic that they are throwing all their eggs into one basket when you take a look at the volume of problems with the unit. At my local Best Buy, a Manager told me that the sale to return ratio is almost : and that they are lsoing money on the sales and then the labor involved in the return process. When you look at the iPod and all the different cases and skins offered, it is pretty pathetic when compared to the Zen Touch, even after taking into consideration the huge number of iPods that have been sold. I have never seen such lack of support on a product after the initial sale.

Older Firmware for Creative MP3 Play

can one of the admins and moderators post where to obtain the older firmwares for their mp3 player lines. I'm one upset customer and the support is non existant to appauling.

When firmwares are updated, all the older versions don't usually stay up on the website. Is there a particular reason you need an older version? What is wrong with the player, and did you contact Customer Support (your post wasn't clear if you were referring to Customer Support or "support" in general).

Processors in Creative MP3 playe

Which processors do the various models use?

If it matters... All Dell DJ's use the same processor made by Creative: CA0206-IAG
When opened up the processor has 2 markings for CA0206-IAG and right below is 4A-39A2E6WX, I think this is a serial number as this varies by model.
Also they use a NEC USB Controller <a href='http://www.necel.com/usb/en/product/upd72022.html' target=_blank>D72022F[/url]
Pic of the processor:
<img src='http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/audio/Dell/digital_jb20/under/tn_dj20_dspmem.jpg'>
I have tried to find more information about this processor but so far nothing came up. This is the same processor used on the Gen and Gen 2 DJ's. The Gen DJ's dont have a PlaysForSure firmware, but the Gen 2 DJ's do and they are still using the same processor. This might be the same processor that a Zen Xtra or Zen Touch might use since they are very similar to each other. Not sure about the newer Zen Micro's or Sleek's. But maybe someone will open one up Message Edited by DM on 2-3-2005 0:02 AM
