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.

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 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.

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!

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:

http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=3&subcategory=264&product=505 0
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!

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

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 I-trigue L3

Does anyone have any experience with using the I-trigue L3800 speaker sytstem with their Zen MP3 player. According to what I've read, the wireless remote will control the player. Anyone out there willing to share their experience? Thanks.

this probably won't help much, but i'm trying now to get this working.
i bought a /8" to /8" stereo cable from Radioshack and so far, no remote control of the Zen (i have a vision:m) is happening. also, no audio from the remote receiver/volume box's AUX IN and only from the subwoofer's AUX IN...which is weird.
i'm guessing i need the custom AUX cable that came with the L3800's but i don't even remember seeing one back when i had the box.
but hey, if i get it working, i'll let you know!

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?

Zen Sleek Photo - Can't reload firmw

I acidentally erased the firmware on my Zen Sleek Photo and I've been having troubles re-loading it. I downloaded the only firmware available on Creative's site for the Zen Sleek Photo and tried to run it, but it keeps saying that my player is not connected. My player is in fact connected and I don't know why it's not picking it up. I know Microsoft Windows is picking it up because I get that pop up that asks what I want to do when a media device is connected. I am basically stuck in recovery mode now because I can't load the firmware. Does anyone know how to fix this?

After hours of searching around the forums, I finally found the solution. I downloaded the hotfixes found here http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english_add,U={B8F6030-DA4F-D3-94F4-00500463020E},Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},d=3025443648,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=793
They'll fix the problem even if you don't use an online music subscription.

Zen Sleek Photo won't boot

I have just bought a used Zen Sleek photo and have been excited about getting it, but I was setting up some playlists in Windows media Player 0, I left the machine to sync and when I came back my Zen was off and now won't start up again. Is there a way to reset it or please please can anyone help with this, as I have so much stuff I want to listen to but the is now useless. I look forward to some words of wisdom. Thanks, HypnomanMessage Edited by Catherina-CL on 09-06-2007 2:3 PM

Hi Hypnoman,
The player does have a reset, you can press the button inside with a paperclip for instance. It should reboot (and reset) the player. Leave it charging for a while to make sure it has enough power to operate.
When happens when you try to start up the player?
On a seperate note, I have removed your signature, advertising is not allowed.

Creative Zen sleek Photo car char

Zen Sleek photo firmware upgrade

I found out that the Creative Zen Sleek had a firmware upgrade (PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03). The Creative Zen Sleek Photo hadn't... Can 2.0.03 be used on the Zen Sleek Photo and what is the effect of it's

The Zen Sleek Photo was a later model and may have included the fixes that the update for the Zen Sleek had. It could be the Zen Sleek's firmware upgrade was just to catch up.
I wouldn't use firmware for another player.

Zen Sleek Photo: Audible (.aa) Format Supp

I have been trying lately to load AudibleBooks (.aa) files onto my Zen Sleek Photo and it simply will not work. When trying to do it from inside AudibleManager it won't recognise the player and if I try dragging and dropping the .aa files onto the player using the Creative Media Manager it says "The format is not supported". I used to use a Zen Micro which worked with .aa files after a firmware upgrade but I can't find anything for the Sleek Photo. I think I found one for just the Sleek but not the Photo model. Is it not possible or am I missing something here?

Could someone answer this question. After hours reading through posts, I'm thoroughly confused as to whether WMP playlists actually show up identically in the Zen Sleek.
