Hey, ZVM_00, I think these are what you're looking for. I'm not sure which one you want to buy but here they are:

As far as your problem with connecting, I can't really help you there. It COULD be your computer but I remember someone telling me to use a different USB port than you're already using. If it's plugged into the front of your computer, try using a back port. That worked for me (for a while anyway). Good luck to you two.
And try what I said, it may work!

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 Photo

I have Windows Vista on my PC and iTunes. I can't get the music on my Creasti've Zen Sleek photo. The original software just makes everything crash. Any help?

Like skb said you don't need the Creative software WMPwill sync to the device.

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?

Creative Zen Sleek Photo & Windows Vi

I've got a Creative Zen Sleek Photo player, and I just got a new computer for school. Since all new computers come standard with Vista, I can't download any of my Creative software because it is not compatible with Vista. Is there any kind of?download update or file that I can get so that I can make the software compatible and install it's

You do not need to install the software on the disc. The driver is nati've to the Vista OS. Windows Media Player can Sync to the player rip cds, ect.

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 and Naps

I'm having a big problem transferring my songs to my new Zen Sleek Photo, and I subscribe to Napster to go. The first 25 songs I have transferred with no problem...but now everything else I try to transfer gets an error message. Even Creative Mediasource Explorer and Organizer aren't working. Anyone have any clues as to what the problem could be? Thanks.

Zen Sleek Photo and Nomad Zen X

I posted earlier about problems with Vista and the Zen Sleek Photo mp3 player. The Zen software is not compatible and won?t install.
After receiving some information from Creative, and after some further experimenting on my own, I have put together a procedure that will, in fact, do a full install of the Zen Sleek Photo on a machine running Vista.
I have also discovered that this installation procedure also works for my Nomad Zen Xtra ? a nice bonus!
I will send this info, in Word document form, to anyone who requests it. Just email me at:
[email protected]
It worked for me, and I have received feedback from several people already who have used this procedure with 00% success, so I know that it works!

Creating Playlists using only the creative Zen Sleek Photo 20 gig MP3 pla

Hi,
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how, if at all possible to create a playlist on my 20 gig zen sleek photo mp3 player?without using a computer to build the playlist. I was able to build playlists directly on my Dell?Jukebox, without needing to first build it on my computer.

Hello Again Jason,?I apologize in advance for being a pest, but it didn't dawn on me until after I replied to your e-mail that I had one more question about playlists on the go, and I would be very grateful for any help you can give me.
Is there a way to add songs to an exsisting playlist without using a computer??????????Sincerely,?????????Tony_L

Creative Zen Sleek Photo - Microsoft 2010

Does anyone know how I would download the program for the Zen Sleek Photo so that I could use it on my new computer with microsoft 200. I tried the disk but it gives an error message about not being supported. HELP!!!
thanks,
Bree

Hi,
Sorry, I don't think the ZEN Sleek Photo is supported. The software that came with it is intended to work in Windows XP.

Creative zen sleek photo - docking station/speak

I just got my sleek photo and so far so good. I would like to get a docking station / speaker system for the house. Any suggestions? .................................................. ..... Thanks.

I'm having the same problem - can't seem to find a docking station and speaker system designed for the sleek photo! Can anyone advise whether the Zen Vision M speaker systems are compatible with the sleekphoto?Cheers, Marc

Zen Sleek Photo and Windows Vi

I have previously posted regarding problems with Vista and the Zen Sleek Photo mp3 player. (The Zen software is not compatible and won?t install.) Vista has built-in drivers so that Vista will recognize the player, but this isn?t much help. (It just makes the player usable as a portable hard dri've, but not much else.)
After exchanging emails with Creative several times, and after some further experimenting on my own, I have put together a procedure that will, in fact, do a full install of the Zen Sleek Photo on a machine running Vista.
It is in the form of a 3 page Word document, and I don?t know the best way to make it available to anyone needing it. Anyone needing this document can email me directly, and I will send it to you as a Word doc.

Zen Sleek Photo and Audi

Hi everyone. First let me say for the millionth time how much I love my Sleek Photo. It puts the iPod to shame period. I love my Zen Micro, but my heart belongs to the Sleek photo. it has everything I wanted and more!
My question is, how long will it be before this player is compatible with Audible? I'm using my Zen Micro for now, but want to make the Sleek photo my main player for everything. It has bookmarks so I assume, but we know what assume means:smileyvery-happy:, it will be compatible with Audible.
This is a dumb queastion, but can I not just download the Zen Sleek Audible firmware? I won't with out confirmation of coarse, but except for the photo part are they not basically the same player?
Thanks Creative for this wonderful player. You really do listen to us!:smileyvery-happy:
Judi

DM,
Thanks. I mentioned when I posted that question that it was stupid to ask. I should know better, hey I thought I should at least ask. I know you all think I'm whiny for buying a Zen that is not yet Audible compatible, but this player is just wonderful. I still have my Micro, which is great also, but I'm hoping the Sleek Photo will also be Audible compatible. A tech at Audible told me that if the ZSP has bookmarks it will no doubt be added at some future date. I hope so. Thanks for answering, you are one of the most knowledgeable posters on the forum and I thought I'd get a response from you first.
Have a great weekend!
Judi
Very proud owner of a 5GB Zen Micro & a 20GB Zen Sleek Photo!:smileyvery-happy::I

Creative Zen Sleek Photo isn't being read on compu

I've had the Sleek Photo for over a year and I've never had any problems until now. The other day it worked, but not its not registering on the computer. I plug it in, Creative Explorer pops up (as usual) but it says that there is no player plugged in. My USB port is ok, and I've tried everything on the Zen site that is recommended but to no avail....help?

Exactly the same thing has happened to mine today. I had a fault with uploading two tracks to it last night (not sure why), afterwhich I recoverded the player, used disk clean up and let it rebuild the library. However, some albums are now missing, and the display just says "select music to PLAY from Music Library" even when playing tracks (ie no artist or album info is displayed, just the quoted message)?My Sleek is recognised by windows when I plug it into USB ports, but not by the Creative software.Message Edited by django68 on 0-23-200704:23 AM
