Zen Sleek Photo: support for Album A

As the title already says: will there be support for Album Art for the Zen Sleek Photo in future firmware versions?

Yes I also ask the same question. I ordered mine earlier this week and thought the sleek would support album art. I actually downloaded MediaMonkey and took about 6+ hours going thru and organizing everything and making sure every album had an album cover. Please Creative just fix this one setback and it would be an even sweeter player then it already is! I couldn't afford to get a ZVM but the Sleek Photo was the next best thing. Please we're not asking much just help us out. There are people out here that still use your earlier players and are being left in the dust...don't leave us there when we know that you can fix it or provide us a way to fix it. Thanks!

Is Zen Sleek Photo for re

Has there been any official confirmation that there will be a Zen Sleek Photo I mean I've seen the pictures, but even my grandmother can use photoshop these days...
Also, assuming it is for real...is there an official release date?

shotgunxmessage wrote:
it's actually sold in some stores in Singapore (Creative's headquarters, therefore-all products are available to them first). If their smart, they'll release it by November, I know too many people who prefer the iPod to the Zen Sleek simply because they want it to be color. Color sells.
I have never seen it in Singapore. Also, we don't get all the new stuff. In fact, I haven't seen an actual Sleek, much less Sleek Photo. However, we do have the Microphoto.

Missing metal insert for headphones on zen sleek photo

I have a zen sleek photo and the little metal insert that goes where the headphones plug in fell out and I can't find it and was wondering if anyone knew how I might get another one. I don't even know what it is called but its the little metal thing where you plug your headphones into.
Thank you!

<EM>I posted this to your earlier posting:</EM>
I have noticed this when I have used my Sleek Photo with other headphones (I don't use the out of the box ones).
This usually happens when you have Smart Volume enabled. I would go to the main menu screen, then choose system-->audio settings-->Smart Volume, and see if this is set to "on". If it is, try turning it off, and see if the volume improves.

Zen Sleek Photo cannot be switched

From one day to another, my new Zen Sleek Photo can not be switched on anymore. Yesterday I charged it, so I am a bit worried. Especially because the on/off button still is lit, but nothing happens when I press it.
Usually when the batterie is low, the screen lits with that message when I press the on/off button. In combination with the fact that I charged the device yesterday and did not use it that much, I am worried something is broken.
Or can somebody say it is still possible with the on/off button lit, that the battery is too low to display the message that it needs to be charged? But still, how can it be that the player is empty, if it automatically switches off when nothing happens? Sure, it's possible I left it on while playing, but it plays album time and then sto
ps.
And if it doesn't detect any user-activity, it automatically switches off after 5 minutes.
Has anyone got the same problem and knows the sollution for it's
Please help, thanks!!
Best regards,
Maarten (Holland)

Hi Maarten,
If it's already charged, try resetting the player to see if it will start up then. If it hasn't been charged or you're not sure, leave it charging for a while first and then try the reset.
If this does not help, then I would advise contacting Customer Support directly for assistance, as there could be a problem with the unit.

Zen Sleek Photo, to buy or not to b

I have never used or owned an MP3 player before, but as I now travel a lot I intend to buy one.
I have spent quite some time reading various reviews of MP3 players on the internet and the Zen Sleek Photo seems to suit my requirements.
However the most important requirements to me, are that the player is mechanically robust and the software reliable. Is this the case with this player?

The Zen Sleek Photo is a great player. I wish they'd give it an Audible update though.
The player is fairly robust but I would advise purchasing a protecti've case rather than just using the pouch provided. This will prevent the screen getting scratched etc.
Creative MediaSource Organiser and MediaExplorer are very easy to use (very much like Windows Explorer with a lot more features), and you can also use Windows Media Player 0 or Windows Explorer if you are used to these programs. If you are transferring photos you can get them to fit the screen better with MediaExplorer (select to resize for screen).
Pros:
-Sound quality is the best (as with all Creative players) and you can eliminate sreechy treble using customisable EQ
-FM radio is powerful and not just a gimmick
-Displays thousands of colours for photos
-genuinely sleek and compact design
-intuiti've navigation and software
-good voice recorder (don't shout too loud very close up as this causes sound ripples in the display!)
-can download music from just about anywhere, purchase or subscription
-great 9-hour battery life
Cons:
-no Audible support
-can't browse photos whilst listening to music, and no album art facility
-plays aritsts/genres in normal play mode by alphabetical track title, not alphabetical album (recently discovered this)
-can get display errors (probably a one off but my friend has a contrasting vertical line on his screen)
-touchpad takes some getting used to
-proprietary dongle for USB and charging, so you can't use any old USB cable or power supply

Transfering music from Napster To Go to Creative Zen Sleek Photo probl

Hello
I have a Creative Zen Sleek Photo with Napster To Go. I have Windows XP home edition. I can rip a CD to the hard dri've
of the computer and transfer music to the mp3 player, but I am receiving a message when trying to transfer music files
from Napster To Go. The message is the mp3 player will need an update to the firmware to work with Napster To Go.
The Zen Sleek Photo has the latest firmware. I had been able to transfer music from Napster To Go until recently.
Napster support referred me to Creative support but the Sleek Photo is past the warranty. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Bridget Ferrazzano

I had problems for the first month of my Napster membership (while I was still in the trial period). I nearly went elsewhere, but stayed with it. As soon as the trial period was over, everything worked perfectly. One suggestion is to use the same software for everything. Whether you use Creative media source, Napster's own software or media explorer or any of the others, stick with that one only. Do not give up and go to itunes. What a waste of money!?If you need to reload firmware or try another software, it's worth it.
I also had some issues getting help. Napster said the problem was with Creative and Creative said the problem was with Napster. Don't give up. Can you get ripped songs in?

Zen Sleek Photo won't turn

My Zen Sleek Photo won't turn on period. I'm kind of scared because I just bought it and finished getting all my music on it. I tried putting the charger in because that usually turns it on but that didn't work. I tried holding down the on button. I tried to access it from the computer with the USB cord and that didn't work. So if anyone has any help please tell me.

Try resetting it, with a paperclip (put it into the reset hole and you should feel a very small "button" to press with it).
Leave it charging for a while aswell, in case it has run completely out of power. If it still doesn't work after trying those two things, then I would definitely recommend contact Customer Support directly, as there could be a problem with the unit.

Zen Sleek Photo Copy to ext. Dr

I have two q?I have a Zen Sleek Photo player and love it. . Our music displays the Artist. can i the display to Albums only?2. I just backedup my music to a external dri've. Can i delete my music on my pc then copy back to my pc from the external dri've?ThanksChuck?Message Edited by dancnsailr on 0-24-200809:29 PM

To A clean up, if that doesnt work do a firmware reinstall, IF that doesnt work, so a reformat, you can do all of this using the rescue mode, by the way, use rescue mode to reinstall the firmware.
For your battery issue, have you drained your battery down to 0% a lot? if so thats whats causing the issue with battery life, its really unhealthy for li-ion batterys to be drained to 0%. if you havent drained it much only once in a while like say once a month, then something else is wrong, make sure bass boost and custom eq are off along with smart volume. if there all off Drain the battery once more completely down to 0% and recharge it completely. tell me if that works, i dont visit this forum much now. you can email me or PM me here if its still bad so i dont have to go on looking and searching for this thread.

Zen Sleek Photo Driver nee

I lost my zen sleek photo installation cd and now need the drivers, what should i do'? could anyone upload somewhere the installation cd image file?

I had the same problem. After stumbling around I finally clicked the "Identify Your Product" link in the "Downloads" section and then selected MP3 players. This gave me a page listing all the MP3 devices with their product numbers (http://93.95.7.84/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCG....com,case=0848). From this page, I selected the Zen Sleek (NOT the?Photo!). That brought me to this page: http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ring=DAP-HD008.
I downloaded the latest DRIVER?there (version 2.0.00). Direct link: http://us.creative.com/support/downl..._US_2_0_00.EXE?When you're installing, it will say things about Nomad Jukebox, but just keep going. It worked for me. Hope that works for you also!

Creative Zen Sleek Photo - Microsoft 2010

Does anyone know how I would download the program for the Zen Sleek Photo so that I could use it on my new computer with microsoft 200. I tried the disk but it gives an error message about not being supported. HELP!!!
thanks,
Bree

Hi,
Sorry, I don't think the ZEN Sleek Photo is supported. The software that came with it is intended to work in Windows XP.

Does Zen Sleek Photo require AC adapt

I am considering buying the Zen Sleek Photo 20gb in a refurb model. My only concern is that customer reviewers state that even though the manual says it comes with an AC charger (and that it is required for charging) it does not have one and that you are required to buy it aftermarket for about $30. Is this true?BTW, I just purchased the 8gb Microphoto and have just installed it and played one classical album. It appears to be a very fine unit. Can anyone comment as to whether the Zen Sleek Photo is at least as good a product as the Microphoto?

Thanks for the quick reply and the information. I'm assuming you mean that I can, in fact, charge the unit with the equipment that comes with it. The reason I'm concerned about this is that the reviewers claim that the AC adapter that the manual claims is in the box in not there with the refurbished model and that it must be purchased separately. It seemed that they were claiming that it was useless without the adapter.

Zen Sleek Photo, the longer I own it, the more irritated I

I've had mine for maybe /2 years now, and I am starting to desire an MP3 player that actually works smoothly. Sometimes the screen freezes and makes songs skip. Half the time, the sorry software known as Media Explorer freezes and will not let me transfer my music. I tried Media Player for transfers, and it does not even "see" my Zen. And none other of the Creative programs can get around this problem for some reason. Theres a couple gigs of music on my computer that cannot be transferred because of "Unspecified Error"s occurring. I've tried shortening file names, posting on here, numerous resets, and nothing works. Bit rate does not appear to have anything to do with it either, as all the songs that will not transfer do not share a uniform bit rate.
Next, has Creative ever offered any type of Update for the Zen Sleek Photo?
No.
To date, I've never seen one. Unless someone can show me otherwise. This appears to be the blacksheep of the family, because there is practically zero support for this thing. I would imagine that the majority of the problems I've had could be fixed with a simple update, but I may try to pee a hole through a rock instead. At least I know thats possible.
Zune, you're looking pretty good.

Creatives website says there aren't any new updates for me.

I've read this same problem with other models and tried the suggestions, nothing works. Any new ideas? I dont' want to buy a new MP3/iPod. Thanks
Have you tried connecting to another computer? not yours maybe friend owns a Vista? You would not have to install ANY Creative software to check.Rear usb ports. Did you have WMP prior to the SP3 update? I know that is a special cord for the player ( i own a sleekphoto) are you using the cord that is made by Creative & not a generic one?The genreics can damage your device. Did you reinstall WMP?You won't need to buy another player since it works.

Zen Sleek photo is great but has terrible softwa

Ok, Im posting this for one reason. The software to edit,transfer, compile playlists, or do anything for the Zen Sleek Photo is horrible. It is very long and tedious to do one simple change. Don't get me wrong I love my Sleek Photo. its great. But editing songs and making playlists in the creative mediasource is really horrible. I had a Zen Micro and it had Creative Mediasource as well, but It was different. It allowed me to veiw all the tracks at once, or all the albums, or all the artists and showed them to me AS THE WOULD APPER IN THE PLAYER. The Sleek Photo has the folders of the music and it is really hard to keep track of your newly transfered music and maybe not yet correctly labeled stuff if you don't know it doesnt have an artist or something. I was hoping someone could help me out? tell me that im stupid and say there is a preference you can choose, or hey here is some third party software, it works great.
That would be wonderful
thanks

No one at all?
