"Zen Nano" and "Zen Nano Plu

I just bought a Creative Zen Nano 52Mb MP3 player at BestBuy.
But everywhere I read, I see "Creative Zen Nano Plus".
What is the difference beetween Nano and Nano PLUS?

I have had my ZEN NANO for year. Then I start getting the flaky power shutdowns. so I start surfing lookin for an answer. One common answer I got was "upgrade the firmware." Well I thought "why would it go now.. I've never done anything out of the ordinary" Anyway long story short DON'T I repeat DON'T update the FIRMWARE until you check one vital thing. Connect your NANO if it shows up in Windows- so far so good- open the the dri've whether it is d: or e: whatever. Then right click on the NANO dri've and go to properties you should get a screen that says "Removable Disk X: Properties" FILE SYSTEM SHOULD BE FAT if it is FAT32 you may get more space but you also set yourself up for all sorts of weird issues. I backed up my mp3's formatted my NANO to FAT and reloaded it, found I didn't have enuff room for song, but I haven't had a random shutdown since i reformatted.....

Diffrences between ZEN NANO and ZEN NANO P

HI ! What would be the differences between the creative mp3 player
Zen <B>Nano</B>
and
Zen <B>Nano</B> Plus ?
<FONT size=+0>Do they both have radio FM ?

Be Grateful if you could help me.

The real differences between the two models are that the Nano Plus has a Line In connector for line in encoding, and it has an FM radio with the ability to record from the radio.

Guess Creative finally ditched the touchpad! Oh well- joysticks are much simpler but I think the touchpad was one of Creative's well-known trademarks. Some people loved it, others hated it. There you go. I guess having given the Vision M ff/rw buttons so close to the touchpad made them think that having just one button to do it all might not be such a bad idea after all. Also PLEASE Creative, have you not learned? People don't want the Zen V, which is just a Zen V Plus with no radio. Yes it will be slightly cheaper but it screams less features and therefore inferiority. Again: too many products where one will do. Beat apple by including the radio, call the Zen V Plus the Zen V, and sell it at the same price as the ipod nano. This is just going to confuse people- again.
Mind you, musn't grumble. Like the line-in feature (oops- why wasn't that on the ZVM?) and Audible support from the off. Hope the new Zens do well, but I bet they would do better if they were ONE fully-featured product!

Windows XP driver problem - Nomad Zen Xtra and Zen To

I have both a Nomad Zen Xtra 60GB and a Zen Touch 20GB, both of which were working fine with my Windows XP Pro SP2 computer until a couple of days ago. I had recently put firmware 2.0.03 onto the Zen Xtra, and was using the drag-and-drop method in Windows Explorer to copy loads of albums across to it from my music folder. It seems I might have tried to copy too much over at one go, because eventually the file copying just stopped, and I had to unplug the Zen Xtra from the PC to abandon the copy process. Since then, neither Zen device has been properly recognised by any of my PCs. When I plug the Zen Xtra into?a USB port, Windows brings up the messages: "Found new hardware: Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra" and "Found new hardware: MTP device", then brings up the Found New Hardware Wizard, even though firmware 2.0.03 is supposed to provide "seamless support with any computer running Microsoft? Windows Media? Player 0 and Windows? XP - no drivers or software needed" (I have WMP0.00.00.4036 installed). The Zen Xtra's display does not show the "docked" icon except when plugged into my laptop (running XP Home Edition)... but even on the laptop Windows still asks for a driver, which it then fails to install properly. When I plug my Zen Touch into my PC, it detects that an MTP device has been connected, but Windows Media Player doesn't list it under the Sync tab, and when I try to install the "Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players", the installer complains that "Setup could not detect any portable device on your system... please ensure that Zen Touch PlaysForSure Firmware is properly installed". The device's firmware version is 2..0, and as I have already said, both this and the Zen Xtra were working fine with my PC up until a couple of days ago. Additionally, the "docked" icon?no longer appears?on the Zen Touch's display when plugged into the PC. I have made the registry change suggested in Creative Knowledge Base Solution ID #9287, and my PC is up-to-date with Windows Hotfixes. I've also tried uninstalling all Creative programs and reinstalling them one at a time, but I can not get my PC to correctly work with the Zen devices anymore. Any suggestions? Also, is there some kind of Factory Reset that I can do to get my Zen Xtra back to an earlier firmware?

I had the same issue. My battery ran down during a sync, then I was unable to sync again.
The Zen is showing up fine in the device manager, but none of the software (Media Player, MediaSource) sees it.
Finally, after a day of trying new drivers, running cleanup, etc. I decided to go into the Zen's recovery menu. To get there, press and hold the Play button and press and hold the reset (use a paperclip) button while powering up.
Once there, select the first option in the menu to Clean up the system. I forgot what it's called and I'm in the middle of a sync now, so can't look.
Worked fine after that. Phew!
If your device is being detected fine, but cannot sync, try that and post here if it fixes it.

Nomad Xtra, Zen Micro, and Zen To

I'm your typical money-starved college student and need to find the best sounding mp3 player for as less cash as possible. I have about 800-,000 songs from my cds that I would want to store, and would like to add some other songs from Kazaalite and Limewire. Is converting shared P2P mp3s and such going to be a problem(28-92KBps)? As it stands, I'm deciding on the Nomad Xtra 30GB($90), the Zen Touch($220), or the Zen Micro($220). First of all, I was wondering if the sound quality of any of these three players is necessarily better than the other two. That's my biggest concern. I also realize that the Zen Micro has the least amount of storage available, but the recorder, better quality in-box earbuds, fm tuner, and extra replaceable battery are advantages. It seems like this would save me the most money in the long run. With that in mind, Is swapping out play lists that are stored on my computer a reasonable way to compensate for the lack of storage on the Micro? Or would that be frustrating and should I just go with more storage? I would also like to know if any of these models are compatable with cassette or fm car transmitters, and does that actually work well? And finally, can the Nomad Xtra and Zen Touch comfortably fit into a pocket? Based on all of this, which would you reccomend for me since it will be my only mp3 player?
Also, is the Zen Touch's sealed battery an issue to consider? I'm not planning on buying another mp3 player for a while, and I would hate to have a battery die on me just a couple years after it's purchase and render my mp3 player a $200+ paperweight. Is there any sort of Apple-like battery refurbishing survace for the Zen Touch?

.) Q: Is converting shared P2P mp3s and such going to be a problem (28-92KBps)?
A: You don't have to convert any files to upload them to either the Xtra, Touch, or Micro. You can play pretty much any bitrate mp3, wma, and wav files.
2.) Q: I was wondering if the sound quality of any of these three players is necessarily better than the other two.
A: Not really. Based on everyone's reviews around here, they all sound the same. Each player has a custom equalizer for personal settings too (more bass/less treble, etc).
3.) Q: Is swapping out play lists that are stored on my computer a reasonable way to compensate for the lack of storage on the Micro?
A: To do that, you'd have to remove certain files then upload other ones. There's a synchronize option which could be used to do this a little easier. But it's not as easy as taking music database A on the MP3 player and replacing it with music database B from your computer.
4.) Q: Are any of these models compatable with cassette or fm car transmitters, and does that actually work well?
A: Yes, check out the Creative MP3 player accessories section for more info.
5.) Q: And finally, can the Nomad Xtra and Zen Touch comfortably fit into a pocket?
A: My Zen Xtra fits into every one of my pants' pockets. The Zen Touch is smaller than the Zen Xtra, so I would say that it would fit into your pocket even easier.
6.) Q: Based on all of this, which would you reccomend for me since it will be my only mp3 player?
A: Let the customers decide that for you. Check out the reviews in this thread
Hope this helps in your decision! If I were you I would probably go with the Zen Micro.

and as part of the promotion currently running it would include an extra Battery.
If you wanted an AC adapter with it, you could order one along with the player and it should arri've in the same shipment. They are sold separately under accessories.

Zen V and Zen V Plus on same compu

I'm new to posting. I have a Zen V for a year and never uploaded new software after installing it initially. Now I also have a Zen V Plus and am confused whether installing the software with it (different version of software came with it) will work on the same computer. Right now the software doesn't recognize the V Plus. ) is it possible to have two players like this on one computer 2) if yes, will the same software work for both Thank you.

I have used a Zen V and 3 different Zen V+'s on the same computer with the same Creative software. I use the latest version.Message Edited by Buelstr on -25-20070:45 AM

Zen Sleek and Zen Produc

Just a quick question. Planning on hopefully getting a zen sleek tomorrow. living in the uk and just wanted to double check all the zen products wherever they are brought come with a one year warranty on them correct? Any other happy zen sleek customers?Thanks
Jonny

Thats sounds like gd news. I'll wait one day and get the player on friday instead and try and find out about it quickly thanks for support mate. If the information is added in this thread that wud be great to hear! Is there any sleek owners out there and have there views on the player? Was agreeing prob with a comment made in another thread. This forum is prob for a small selection of problems that people are having with their zen players and dat the majority of customers are definately satisfied with their players. U agree?Jonny

I have a ZEN Micro and ZEN sleek, can I use the same softwa

I currently have a zen micro and just purchased a zen sleek photo, will I have to reinstall the software using the NEW disk? Will I be able to use them both with the same software?

Yes.

Differences Zen NX, Zen Touch and Zen 2

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the main differences are between the Zen NX, The Zen touch and the Zen 20GB? I've been looking into these three models for a while now, but haven't found any major differences. My main goal is to have my entire music collection on the player, and I would like to be able to sort my music on genre or in playlists. But as far as I know, all of the players I just named are able to do that. Which one would be the best one to go for?
Thanks,
Peter

The model differences are listed here.Message Edited by SSR on 0-27-2005 0:6 PM

Compatible problem in ZEN micro and ZEN micro ph

I have a ZEN micro already and want to buy a ZEN micro photo. Problem is that is the two accessories compatible? Can I use the former batteries and adaptor in the latter? Thanks a lot!

Yes, most if not all of the stuff should be compatible. But do note that the Zen Micro Photo battery has a higher capacity so it will last longer than the Zen Micro battery.

MP3 Zen stone and zen mosaic: compatibility with Sony Microsystems

? Hi there,
I was given a Zen Stone (basic model) almost two years ago as a present. In Christmas of 2008, I purchased a Zen Mosaic 8gb model which plays music, videos and photos. THis Christmas i received as a gift a Sony CMT HX80R micro system. This unit has the capacity to play i pod and MP3 via a USB port. Upon trying the Mosaic I received the message on the screen of the Sony saying "not supported". But when I played the Zen Stone, it loaded up perfectly and played with no problems. I am not super tech minded but surely if there was a model the Sony wouldn't recognise; surely it should have been the Stone as it's the older technology? Can anyone offer an exp[lanatiuon please? or is there some kind of patch I can put into the Mopsaic to make the Sony read it's
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi JLM, am running .0.05e fine and in fact listening to it at the moment. Is there anyway you can regress back to .0.03 to test your theory? Testing a bunch of 28k CBR MP3s is an easy thing to try also.Message Edited by BlueRobin on 0-02-200802:49 PM

TravelDock Zen Micro and Zen V Plus

I have a traveldock and I'm looking at getting a zen v plus. Will the 2 work together? It looks like they should fit but I wanted to check before upgrading.

slap_shot_2,
No, I'm afraid the Zen V Plus won't fit into the slot or space that's meant for the Zen Micro player but you can still use the Traveldock Line-In jack to connect to the player for music playback.

EXSPECT Zen Touch and Zen Micro skins latest arrival date i

I spoke to a lovely lady at Exspect today and she confirmed that the Amazon uk info is incorrect. The first batch are due to arri've in the UK on the 27th of this month and therefore will not be available until the first or most likely second week in June.

Mrspike
I tried typing in a US address in my amazon.uk account to see if it would allow an order for the skins to the US. Regrettably they count this as an electrical item and they will only ship book, dvd,cd items to America, sorry. Its really stupid but thats amazon for you!
I searched through the other shops on the Exspect website and HMV will send stuff to America (and most places) no problem. But I don't know if they will have this item available for order online it may be inshop only. HMV international info page link b?low
