What makes creative mp3 player diff from the othe

I know creative sounds better than other players but what is it that makes it better?
As far as my little knowledge is concerned, the thing that matters the most is SNR. Zen is 98db whereas iRi'vers are 95 and ipods are around 90. Am I correct?
I am in the market for a new MP3 player. I have owned a zen before but I am not able to convince myself to get another zen. Now I need a new one.
I am looking at zen micro but not sure if the headphone problem still persists with creative players.
What are the new players in the market?
Anyone heard about gigabeat from Toshiba? Any new players with comparable sound quality?

Those features and the fact that iTunes is like the surburban shopping mall of music. I wanted to be able to download the wild blue yonder, so I never even considered and ipod.

    I'm tryna make my mp3 player wifi compatible but first I need to know if it's possible or what I need to buy

    You cannot.  It would have to have a wi-fi radio installed into the device and the software to run it.

  • How can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    how can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    iTunes will only sync with Apple devices.  You may find when you plug in your player it appears on hte desktop as another drive.  You can drag files from iTunes to that drive.  You may need to then place them in a special folder but all this is something for you to research since players differ.  We use a Sansa Clip and a RCA player with our iTunes library and that how we do it.
    Make sure your player can play the format files you have in your collection.  Our slightly older players will not play AAC which is the standard format used by the iTunes Store.  If you find that to be the case you will have to convert formats.

  • How can I connect my Creative mp3 Player and my car ste

    I need to connect my Creative mp3 Player and my car stereo (Peugeot 407 standard car stareo). It haven't cassette player or an "AUX IN" hole. Any Idea?

    <FONT face=Helv size=2>
    Unfortunately (for us consumers) there are few options.
    ) Use an FM transmitter which does not work in your area.
    2) There was a post in this forum where the person had a device installed that would switch from the car antenna to an FM transmitter. So effecti'vely, the FM transmitter is spliced right into the antenna line into your car stereo. The theory is that it's either using the car antenna or your MP3 player, but never both. There are no competing FM stations. The use also said this cost them $200 .... which makes option 3 a better deal considering FM will decrease the fidelity of a MP3 player.
    3) Buy a car stereo with an input jack .. as SSR as sited.
    4) You can buy a cassette adapter ... if your current car stereo has a circa 20th century cassette player.
    5) Start a grass roots effort to lobby car manufacturers to put in a input jack in the car stereos. The American companies might be softened after this SUV bust.
    If you pick #5, I'm available to stamp and stuff envelopes ......

  • How does the content repository differ from the ECM plugin capability

    How does the content repository differ from the ECM plugin capability suh as Documentum. What are the different use cases. Which is the best to use for managing document uploads by user for association with user's personal products/services ?

    Content Repository is a standards-based, fully featured repository, included in all the editions of the Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform and Solutions. You can use it to store and access content, execute rich set of content services like search, authorization, etc. As such, it's ideally suited for all the content/document/asset-related needs of your applications. It offers the JCR API, plus access through RESTful interface and WebDAV network drive (among others). Additionally, managing content in the Content Repository makes it immediately availble for all the solutions that run of the platform.
    In essence, Content Repository is your go-to place to store and manage content in the Digital Enterprise Platform/Solutions. It is well suited to cater to your use case.
    The ECM Plugins (Connectors) are used if you have existing LiveCycle document services, and you have one of the ECM systems in your infrastructure used as archive. It allows you then to connect to such a 3rd-party system, and retrieve document for processing, as well as store them back for archiving.

  • Unable to install Zen Creative MP3 Player to Windows 7

  • Abstract out MP3 *player* functionaltiy from USB drive stor

    Has any company thought about "abstracting out" the MP3 / WMA / WAV / other-format player functionality from the USB dri've storage?
    Considering the proliferation of USB memory dri'ves, I think this a good idea.
    So, what I envision is a little mobile MP3 "shell player" device which is simply an MP3 (or other format) decoder chip and D/A decoder, audio amplifier and a headphone jack, perhaps with a rechargeable battery. It would have a female USB jack, and would accept any type of USB memory stick. That way, you can just swap USB memory sticks .. and this hypothetical MP3 "shell player" would detect playable files on the plug-and-play memory stick and organize them for mobile play.
    So who will be the first to offer such a device?

    You should look for a support site for the MP3 player to see what format it uses and what the proper restoration procedure is-either that or contact the company directly.

  • Muvo Creative MP3 Player prob

    My MUVO Creative MP3 player...as seen here-http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=25&product=099
    Well, anyway,Whenever i turn it on, the green light that signals it being on, will flash red, and after about minute or so, turn off, i thought this was just a battery problem..but i switched in a brand new fresh battery...and it still did it, anyone know the problem?
    thanks

    The manual says that a flashing red light is a battery problem. Have you checked your battery contacts and cleaned them up? How is the player when you connect it to your PC?
    You could try a firmware update - there was a new version on the UK site in July of this year. It needs Recovery Mode so make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. You also need to d/l and install the Mass Storage Driver at the top of the page first.

  • Net price in R/3 PO differ from the actual local PO net price Urgent

    Hi,
    I  am working on extended classic scenario
    I created a local PO, in which the net price of the material is 100 Euro later on I changed the payment terms and when I checked the backend PO which is the copy of the local PO, I found that the net price has been changed from 100 Euro to 212 Euro and when I checked the PO in SRM I could see the same value i.e. 100 Euro.I checked the change document in backend system and found that the net price has been changed by the SRM_RFC user.
    This has happened for quite a few number of local PO
    I am not able to understand how the backend PO net price can differ from the local PO net price.
    Please provide me useful input
    Regards,
    Yatendra

    Hi Yatendra,
    I think this is due to R/3.
    Can you check the source of supply in R/3 PO ?
    especially if a PIR or contract has been assigned ?
    Look at price conditions in R/3 PO item, to see the execution plan of pricing.
    I think that during ECS PO creation in R/3, the SRM price is correctly passed, but during the change the price is overwritten by R/3.
    What are your SRM & R/3 releases ?
    Check OSS arround BAPI_PO_CREATE, BAPI_PO_CREATE1 and BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
    Rgds

  • Creative MP3 Player (Microphoto) Blank LCD Display Scr

    [size="">Hi, The LCD Display Screen on the Creative MP3 Player is blank. The blue background light will come on but nothing on the screen. I saw that it was suggested to update the firmware, however, I have no idea how to do that. If someone can explain to me how to do that I will try it. Or maybe you can suggest something else that I can do. I already tried several things suggested on your website, like removing the battery and installing it again, etc. I would appreciate it if someone would help me. Thanks!

    [size="">Good Morning,[size="">I tried the firmware upgrade, however, the screen is still blank. Should I have removed the batter and re-install it again? I tried calling support, however if my product is not in warranty it really doesn't give me that many options or refers me to anyone. Is there a telephone number in particular I should call. Thank you for your advise though, I appreciate it!? Have a

  • Please Help - I am looking for an mp3 player that has the following features

    Hi, I am looking for an mp3 player that has the following features:
    1) Either a 30GB or more HDD, OR a sd OR a micro SD card slot for a 2GB card. (Note, I can buy an adapter so my sd cards fit into a compact flash slot. However, I did look at the Zen Vision M but I didn't see how to delete tracks from?my playlists.)
    2) I need to be able to delete tracks in my playlists that I create in Windows Media Player (.wpl or .m3u format).
    3) I need to be able to copy these updated playlists back to my pc, either with the usb cable or SD / microSD card.
    Which products meet my needs? I li've in California, USA.
    Thanks,

    Thanks! I did not know that. I have been looking for an mp3 player for a long time & did not realize the one I wanted was right in front of my nose! [ at Walmart]

  • Savings for Creative Mp3 Player

    BestBuy is having a 25% off all creative mp3 player sale and I was looking at the Zen Micro Photo. I want an mp3 player that can hold alot of songs that I can run with, but I found out mini-hard dri'ves and regular ones arn't suitable for running...So I am going to stick with a large capacity player with alot of features instead of a flash player but I just can't choose. Plz leave suggestions if you were in my place shopping for an mp3 player.

    bosoxxrwd,
    If you're planning to do exercise while using a player. I would suggest going after a flash based player like the Zen Nano Plus, Zen Nano and MuVo series instead of microdri've or harddisk based player.

  • SL3100 directly compatible with new bluetooth creative mp3 player?

    Hi
    I have found an old pair of creative 3100 that I though I had lost. Does they work nowadays automatically (without the bluetooth transmitter) with new bluetooth-enabled creative mp3 player like the ZEN X-Fi3? Will the command buttons on the headset work when directly connected to the ZEN X-Fi3?
    Or I have to use the old transmitter? Will the command button be usable if i connect the headset via the old bluetooth transmitter?
    Thanks for the answers

  • My Forth Creative Mp3 Player and counting

    I have just got my fourth creative Mp3 player. You would have though I would have learnt my lesson by now!
    First one (Zen Micro)was faulty when purchased so went straight back to the shop.
    Second (Zen Micro) lasted 8 months before stopping working one day.
    Third (Zen Microphoto) lasted 3 months before the screen stopping working correctly.
    Forth and current(Zen Touch 40gb)lasted 3 days before becoming faulty.
    I've contacted support as it seems to have the same firmware error problem as numerous others. Is there a fix? I have seen so many threads but not many positi've results.
    As far as I am concerned this is the last Creative player I shall buy. If they can't get me fixed up it's going back to the shop for a refund or exchange for anything but a creative player.
    Do others have such a poor experience of Creative players or am I just having a bad experience?Message Edited by Ainslie on 07-0-20070:37 AM

    I bought a 30gb Nomad Jukebox Xtra 3 or 4 years ago, and only now it quit on me. And only the LED screen, after going through a rainstorm; everything else still works. I just bought a 30gb Zen Vision M to replace her. So far so good. Defecti've products happen. So do unlucky people
