Whats stoping me from buying Zen Visio

I currently own a zen sleek which is fab and all but I really want something with video support. I would buy the vision:M but here are a few reasons that are holding me back:
. No gapless playback.( lots of my music fades into eachother Like linkin park's meteora)
2. No user Removable battery. I'd love to carry an extra battery to have like 0+ hours of video on the go. Ya know I find myself away from an outlet very often and hate it when my sleek runs out of battery. A removable battery would make me buy this device in a heartbeat.
3. No "geek" audio formats. (really doesn't bother me but it would be nice to load up some FLAC or OGG files since they sound better than mp3.
4.Not enough space. (yeah they just released a 60gb version, but I'd like to see atleast 80gb-00gb. So what if the price has to be higher. I've seen the zen xtras on ebay and the 60gb sells more than the 30gb or 40gb. People want lots of space. There are some people with like 900 complete albums they want t rip on the device in high quality. What If they want video and pictures too? Won't be able to fit much after all that music i'll tell you that.
I think Creative should "reinvent" the vision:m. This is a war against IPOD and ZUNE. I think Creative needs these changes to satisfy the average joe and the geek.
Whos with me?Message Edited by TheBlackParade on 0-7-2006 06:26 PM

i'd get one too.. or a vision:w if not for the lack of ogg and flac format support... along with the smallish storage space.
as it is, i'm looking towards something else as creatives attempts here... along with cutting off FM recording... brings to mind 2 words.

Retrieving songs from Creative Zen Visio

Hello,
I am trying to copy a folder featuring most of music from out of my Creative Zen M back onto my desktop. Whenever I hit paste, I get a message saying that my device is calculating how long it will take to transfer the files. This message usually lasts about 30 seconds, then the folder appears on my desktop--without any of the files inside of it. Is anyone else having this problem? Any tips/hints are appreciated.

Tried a drag-and-drop? I know this sounds a little obvious, but I don't think copy-paste works properly - it's all to do with the restrictions MTP formatting has (i.e. copy-protection).

What's keeping me from buying the W540

I have $$ to spend and no Lenovo to spend it on.
Here's what's keeping me from buying the W540:
1) Physical buttons have been removed above the trackpad.
Many, many people complain about this in the W540 reviews:
"Touchpad: I've commented elsewhere that this is the worse I've even seen. Absolutely useless. I've disabled both the touchpad and touchstick (again, useless) and just use a mouse."
"I'd try the touchpad on the W540 for a while before you decide you can live with it, it is truly as bad as all the reviews say. I've disabled mine and use a mouse."
"...two issues with the touch-pad. The first has to do with having to clunk the whole pad as opposed to tapping on a much smaller (and quieter) button. The second has to do with the touch pad activating when you are typing."
Member "Bauden" provided an excellent rationale for why this feature change is wrong for Thinkpads:
"For a MAC, a "click-pad" may work because the ENTIRE OS is designed to be used by a single mouse button. You CANNOT force this on PC users. On PC, right-click is used frequently for many essential functions, dragging and dropping and context menus . . . . the habit of using it has been ingrained into PC users by years of Microsoft tradition and applications (NOT APPS!)."
I've used 10 Thinkpad laptops, I can't imagine being OK with that either. Needing to use an external mouse is unacceptable.
In fact, I'd bet the extra pressure needed to "tilt" or "clunk" the entire trackpad down to do the equivalent of pressing a gentle button from before will cause a greater frequency in RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury) in Thinkpad users.
I do not see a single person who feel this feature removal/change is an improvement.
Therefore, Lenovo, can you please change back?
2) Bizzarre Resolution (2880 x 1620)
I need / want UHD. I am thrilled that you are finally selling higher quality screens on your laptops.
(Thank you Apple for putting that competitive pressure on laptop vendors.)
Lenovo, please provide the resolution on the W540 that you have provided on the new Y50. (3840x2160)
Why did you choose (2880 x 1620) resolution?
1920 x 1080 isn't an even divisor of the native dimensions at full resolution, so resolving scaling issues by going to 1920x1080 would never look exactly right.
But **please** Lenovo, keep the screen anti-glare.
If you make above changes, please keep the following features:
1) Anti-Glare screens
2) Trackpoint
3) 2 physical drive capability, 1 SSD + 1 other
although it doesn't sound as easy as I'd prefer:
"Thus, no matter what anyone tells you, you CANNOT buy a W-540 and think you will easily swap a DVD drive with, say, a second hard drive. It’s minor surgery, best done with a jeweler’s screwdriver and some fine needle nose pliers.
Be sure to read the User Guide to keep from breaking the hatch cover. When I ordered mine, they shipped the Ultrabay carrier and the hard drive from the US, so they arrived early. I had to install them myself and found manipulating the tiny screws and pulling the hatch cover to be a bit scary.
……Not exactly what you would call “convenient.”

4) Thunderbolt port
And add back in the following features:
I especially agree with these minuses in the "+/-" very detailed review by "Bauden"
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/LIVING-WITH-A-W-540/td-p/1528698/page/2
= Missing drive indicator light
Why in the world remove that. Please add that back in.
= Missing bluetooth indicator light
= USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 ports can be easily identified with industry standard 'Blue' for USB 3.0.
Why did you decide to not do that?
After a couple hours of reading, I'd agree with the conclusion of Bauden when s/he said:
"Overall a nice speedy machine, but that is not by Lenovo R&D.
Intel, nVidia, and m.2 SATA are all wrapped in a container that is very poor when expecting a product labelled "Workstation". This is NOT a workstation among the items mentioned above and the wrong screen aspect ratio for photography / graphic applications."

Idea
It seems like the team who designed the Lenovo Y50 did a great job for that machine's intended purpose.
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y50-uhd/
(but is it really shipping in any quantity? Not a single user review posted to the community.)
Maybe take the team who implemented the Y50 and have them design the new Thinkpad W550.

Update:
I'm glad those reasons above kept me from spending my own $ on this model since work ended out upgrading my old laptop. Options were a W540 or a T440. I had about 15 seconds to decide. I went with the W540 tp get a larger screen.
Thoughts after several months: T
Best thing on a day to day basis:
Overall, it's a screamer. I can throw any workload at it and it doesn't flinch.
( I7, 32gb memory, drive upgraded to a 1TB Samsung EVO SSD)
Life is too short to wait on slow systems or slow hard drives. This "best thing" overshadows everything else and makes me very happy with this system.
Worst thing on a day to day basis:
The keyboard layout. PageUp should be above PageDown. Home should be above End.
Useless number key area. Why? The NumLock key is right next to the Backspace key. I'll accidentally toggle that Numlock key once a day or so when hitting backspace. Then, the PageUp, Home, etc., keys on that keypad are useless and unpredictable.
Mildly annoying:
1) The mousepad, for reasons described above. Its tolerable but not great.
2) The new DVD button location. I accidentally open it twice a week when picking up / putting down the W540, and I've *never* used that silly DVD player.
3) The "B" key, the key that's directly down from the red Thinkpoint tip, isn't right. It doesn't press down cleanly. bbbbbbbbbbbb It's like it gets hung up on the red nibbet.

Whats the difference in buying an ipod from apple retail store rather than buying it from Walmart?

Whats the difference in buying an iPod touch from apple retail store rather than from walmart

Some retailers, such as Best Buy, offer a much more robust warranty - even covering accidental damage. Or other retailers may offer bonuses - such as free case or store gift card as an incentive. The orginal Apple 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects applies no matter where it's sold.
I bought both my touch and my iPad from Best Buy and have no issues with it. (the closest apple store was over an hour away)
I think the only warning I'd offer is for a person buying a used device second hand is to make sure it's from a reputable retailer and that hte device is unlocked and ready to use.

I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and is it connected to wifi ?
From Buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support :
Here’s what you need to stream the new iTunes Extras:
Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later and iTunes 11.3 or later
PC using iTunes 11.3 or later
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation or later) using Apple TV software 6.2 or later
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later (You need to connect to Wi-Fi. Extras won't appear if you're connected to a cellular network.)
An active Internet connection
You can use the steps below on your Apple TV, Mac, PC, or iOS device for any purchased, HD movie that features Extras:
On your Apple TV, select Movies, then select your movie to see the Extras menu. Extras aren't available from the Computer tile on Apple TV (Home Sharing).
On your Mac or PC, open iTunes and go to the Movies section in your iTunes library. Double-click your movie. If there's no Internet connection, the Extras menu will be skipped. The movie will immediately play if you already downloaded it.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Videos app, then tap your movie. If you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, the Extras menu will appear.

What happens when you buy from a third party vender

I am wondering what happens when you buy a macbook form a third party vender. In my case it is amazon.com. I am reading about people returning their macbook's to apple for a refund due to the high pitched whine everyone is talking about. My understanding is that we can still send them to apple to get fixed for the noise, but even if they can't fix it we still can't get a refund right? If I try to return it to Amazon as a defective product who decides if it is? Apple or Amazon?

Amazon's return policy on computers doesn't exclude any brands, so I'd say that you could return it. Here's a link to it if you'd like to read it:

Moving from Creative Zen Vision M to Litttle Creative Zen

Had 2 Vision M's and replaced the screen twice on one of them !!! Screens gone again and with damaged ones going for silly money on ebay was wondering how people get on with the new(ish) ZEN. The things I love about the vision are the screen and ease of dragging and dropping videos and music. Would the SD card (non) integration frustrate me? and what is the need for converting videos? Would love some feedback !! Thinking of getting a 2gig player with a huge sd card.
ps dont suppose anyone has transferred the screen from a ZEN to a VISION M.
Thanks in advance

You may want to look at this video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCRBj...e=channel_page The screen seems to be the same size. You could buy a broken one take it apart & see. I may just do that myself since I have one that needs a screen. Also what do you consider to be "silly money" for a screen? I have purchased screens for ZVM on Ebay for under$25USD. I have a Zen 2Gb with a 4GB SD card that I use at work since it's small & I walk on my breaks.. I always have my ZenVM since I can't fit all my music on the other. I do prefer the ZVM. I got the Zen to try it . It's ok it does play the video from the SD card very well. I convert my videos to be used on both players so I don't have duplicate files & both look good on either player.(I don't use Creatives Video Converter http://forums.creative.com/creativel....id=2983#M2983? I use Badak it has a Zen preset.) I guess if I were to buy another one it would be at least an 8GB.

Remote for Zen Visio

I am about to spend some more money and get a remote for my Vision:M.
I am pretty sure this one is compatible with it, but I am not sure as no where does it mention that it is compatible with it.
This one!
I remember reading that the remote from the Zen Micro was compatible with it.
Can someone confirm this before I try and get it shiped from Singapore to Australia.
(It is IMPOSIBLE to get almost any creative accesories in Australia, I even went to a shop in Syndey called BlasterWorld. They are listed as a reseller on the Creative website, but they only had a couple of old Muvos and some sound cards.)
Thanks.
Also, has anyone in Aust. bought stuff from the Singapore store before, and was it easy to get it shipped here? Thanks.

Why is itunes blocking my and others accounts from buying diamonds and cash in the iron force game. I have been blocked for the past 3day April 28_29_30from being able to buy the diamond mine 1650 diamonds for $ 99.99 and another package of diamonds for $ 49.99' this looks like the old bait an d switch game where a great deal is offered and then you adore forced to buy something less expensive. I have been in computer business for over 30 yrs and all iyunes needs to do is reset the accounts on their system yet they don't want to do that. Also of note I was allowed to buy small amounts of diamonds only to see that some were taken from my account when I was signed and no message as to why this was done. I had 1230 diamonds and did. Not play the game an the next thing was I had only 1170 diamond?.? What's that all about. Itunes is not respecting customers or. Good business practices. And very. Stupid for not selling uds , the customers the products so itunes can really make more money. I have spent many hours on the phone to resolve this only. To get the run around
Nd. Come on itunes reset set our accoummnts and let us buy. We will all have more fun and you get more money. Can't remember ber the last group who turned their back on nmoney but itunes you are the best at doing that fix things pl ease

I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1! This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.
