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

  • Zen Sleek and battery charg

    I just purchased a Zen Sleek and I am currently charging it. The manual says it will take approx. 2 hrs. to charge, but it is running on 4 hrs.
    It zipped past bars one, two and three. It is currently still showing as charging on the third bar, and has been like this again for 4 hrs.
    How long does it take to complete, I'm hoping I don't have another bad Creative product on my hands.

    It looks like I got my second defecti've Creative product in 5 months. FIrst, my Micro goes back for a refund because of the headphone jack, now the Sleek has an issue with the battery not fully charging. I read their knowledgebase, but I have found posts regarding others who have had to return their Sleek because of this defect.
    Well, I will get a refund, and will NEVER touch Creative again, I have a Rio (which works great 00% of the time). Since they're gone, I will find a manufacturer who doesn't ship defecti've products at least in my case 00% of the time.
    Go ahead, flame away, I'm not visiting this board anymore, so have fun. I'm not buying an iPod, but Apple doesn't ship crap at the rate this company does.Message Edited by Allen5 on 2-25-2005 2:34 AM

  • Zen Sleek and WMP11!

    Hi,
    I have a zen sleek and have not put any music on it for ages. I updated to WMP ages ago and it works fine with my ZVM. I have tried searching the forums but not getting very far!! It says the driver is outdated and won't let me get any further. I have tried the downloads and installing a new driver but that doesn't seem to help either. I don't want to roll back to wmp 0 cos is working fine with zvm and it took ages last time I did this!! Is there another solution Thanks

    Hi,
    I have had another look at the sticky's etc but still not any wiser
    !!! Anybody give me an idiot's guide? LOL

  • Creative Zen Sleek and the Now Playing-part of the firmw

    Hi,
    this week I got my Creative Zen Sleek. I'm very satisfied, except for one thing - the Now Playing-part of the firmware (the list with all the songs queued up). In the old Nomad Jukebox Zen firmware, the list was divided by artist or album name. On the Zen Sleek, however, the list is just going on without even showing which songs belonging to which album etc.
    This is really annoying me - would it be possible to fix this, or at least consider the possibility for this to be integrated in the next firmware upgrade?
    Sincerely
    Hein Haraldson Berg

    & Putting the X-Fi into Recovery Mode and selecting clean up seemed to fix the problem, but it does still come up randomly.
    The clean up puts the player menus back to their defaults though... any chance that in a future fix for the player, this wouldn't occur?

  • Windows operating system error with a Zen Sleek and windows 2

    I have tried to install the creative disk that came with the Zen Sleek. After launch I get this message "windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product and can get no further. I am running windows 2000 pro. I have downloaded the creative media source program from the creative.com site and it will install beautifully but when you launch it, I get the error " CTCMS.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart program." I figure that these two problems are probably related. We have been able to transfer songs by using the play for sure, but I am disappointed otherwise.
    thanks, Kathy

    On the packaging it should say the player is Win XP only. I'm not sure if the Sleek ships with the Easy CD that allows MTP/PlayForSure based players to work with earlier Windows versions.

  • Zen Sleek Photo, Zen Xtra, and Vi

    I know I?ve posted about this before, but new folks visit here every day, and the information contained in these posts can get buried after just a few days. If the moderators wish, they can remove any earlier posts that I have put up here on this board.
    This concerns 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 ? an unexpected bonus!
    It worked for me, and I have received feedback from several dozen people already who have used this procedure with 00% success, so I know that it works!? I am currently getting three or four requests daily for this, and most have been kind enough to follow up and let me know that it solved their problem.
    I will send this info, in Word document form, to anyone who requests it. Just email me at:

  • Zen Sleek and Vi

    My previous laptop has died. The operating system was XP. What do I need to do to be able to connect my Zen Sleek to Vista I've tried downloading the software but I'm getting messages saying that my Zen isn't being recognised and other stuff. I noticed this on the Creative website: Solution ID # 6737 Solution graphic or text string http://93.95.7.83/servicesoft/DATA/W.../dot-clear.gif Support StyleSheet (Required) KB Functions (Contains scripts - show_hide(); check_submit() Installing a ZEN Micro, ZEN Sleek, ZEN Touch or ZEN Xtra in Windows Vista START:KB SUMMARY SECTION Summary: If you plan to use a ZEN Micro, ZEN Sleek, ZEN Touch or ZEN Xtra player in Windows Vista, it is necessary to upgrade the player's firmware in a Windows XP computer before it can be installed in a Windows Vista computer.Does this mean that I will not be able to transfer music to the Zen as I no longer have access to an XP operating system.

  • Zen Sleek and Xbox 36

    Have anybody tried the Zen Sleek with Xbox 360... and does it work ?

    It is a change, the two firmwares will behave differently so you will notice the difference. There are a few software updates available along with the firmware though (the Software Suite), so you can still use MediaSource for instance.
    If you update to a PlaysForSure/MTP firmware, you should bear in mind that the player will only work on systems with WindowsXP (SP2 and higher) and Windows Media Player 0.

  • Sleek and Zen Media Explorer Track Listing Order.

    Hey all,
    Been lovin' my Sleek for the last 2 months with just one, minor, issue; today I got a little frustrated so I'm here to ask you about it.
    Normally I rip CDs using the Creative Media Organizer and then use the Zen Media Explorer to "import" and add the new songs to my playlist. Unfortunately in the ZM "Edit Playlists" window, the upper left window (titled "Creative Zen Sleek") has a list of folders by artist, where I would much prefer to list folders by album name.
    For example I might see Beatles in the "B" section, but then a different album might have been listed as "The Beatles" so it's in the "T" section. A lot of my albums are compilations with many different artists playing songs I'm not totally familiar with (jazz for example) and when I see a name I have no idea what song it refers to.
    Is there a way to change that Manage Playlists window so it displays the album name instead of the artist name? I've tried looking in settings, etc., but nothing obvious leaps out at me.
    <IMG src="http://www.us-picks.com/zenplaylists.jpg">
    Please don't tell me to use Windows Media Player to do the transfers; it's counterintuiti've to me and takes longer.
    Thank you,
    D.

    I think the folder structure you're seeing in ZME (\"Music"\artist name\album name\tracks) is part of how Microsoft organizes MTP-type players (including all US Sleeks); I have the same structure in my 2.x-firmware Micro. There's no way to change that.
    I think micromouse's solution (use MediaSource for transfers as well as rips) is the best; MediaSource has its own library database and may not be constrained by Microsoft's folder structure. (The internal library in Creative's MTP-type players isn't constrained by the folder structure either.)

  • 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.

  • Zen Sleek and Windows 2

    I got the Zen Sleek on Amazon.com for myself for Christmas (firmware 2.00.06). I thought it would work with Windows 2000, as the requirements on the Creative website (and the box) said. So after figuring out that the Zen only ships in the US with the XP software, my friend got me a Zen installation disk from Creative customer service in the UK. So I tried to install this on my machine, but the installation will freeze at 99% when it says it's installing the windows drivers. If I put the disk back in again and run the installation, it says that everything has installed. When I plug in the player, Windows detects a new device, and does the Find Drivers wizard. So I point it to the Creative folder installed on my computer, the folder that is "jukebox 3 drivers." This doesn't work (It says no driver is found). I've tried uninstalling and then only re-installing the three drivers that are on the Creative disk (not letting the cd auto-play, going to the "drivers" folder, then "english", then running the three drivers...drv_jb.exe, drv_jb3.exe, drv_nm2.exe). The only problem that I can think of is that I plugged it into my roommate's computer that is running XP and now it has been somehow set to run on XP only. If I format the player will this erase the setting and allow me to install on my Windows 2000? Or am I out of luck since I my firmware is 2.00.06? Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

    You're mostly out of luck. Most versions of the Sleek that shipped were for XP only, although some early models shipped with a v.xx PDE firmware that would work with other versions of Windows.
    There is also an "Easy CD" which ships with some players to allow them to work on earlier versions of Windows, although you can only use Windows Media Player 9 to transfer.
    I suggest getting in touch with Creative Support to see if you can either get the PDE firmware, or this Easy CD.

  • Using Zen Micro and Zen Sleek Photo software on one compu

    I have had a Zen Micro for a while. No problems using it. I just bought a Zen Sleek Photo. I am going to let my daughter use the Micro and I will be using the Sleek Photo but haven't set it up yet. Can I use the software that I loaded for the Zen Micro for the Zen Sleek Photo to load music and recharge the battery? I checked on the Zen Micro- system information it is version 2..02. But I am assuming the Zen Micro software will not work on the Sleek Photo. I have only one computer and want to be able to use both MP3 players. So do I have to delete the Micro software before loading the Sleek photo software? Will the Sleek photo software work with the Micro to load music into the Micro and let me recharge the battery? I have windows XP and windows media player 0.

    Knitter,
    The Zen Micro Photo uses MTP for accessing the unit. If it is detected in WMP0 properly, then that is all you REALLY need. You may find the Micro Photo Media Explorer software usefull if you intend to use the contacts / tasks items, but that is the only program I would say is "needed" to get full function.

  • 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.
