Zen Touch 40GB Cradle for the c

I'd like to set up some sort of cradle system in my car so I can just slide my Zen Touch in. Where can I find such an animal?

I have a Zen Touch, and I just recently got Napster To-Go. It's great. Installed the new firmware, no problem. The only complaint I have is that skipping through protected songs is SLOW. Sometimes it will take like 0 seconds (seriously) to skip to the next song.
That's ONLY with the protected songs with the new firmware. Un-protected songs are fine.

  • Zen Touch 40GB is absolutely GRE

    (This is further to my post in the thread "Experience with your Creative Player" ten days ago.)
    Hello everybody,
    two and a half weeks ago I received my Zen Touch 40GB and right from the beginning I was very happy with it -- easy to operate without having to use any kind of manual, reliable, beautiful, great sound quality, etc.
    Now, two and a half weeks later, this positi've judgement has become even stronger. The Zen Touch is really extraordinary! Battery life second to none, sound quality absolutely amazing (also when connecting it to my harman/kardon amplifier), good software (MediaSource Organizer), solid and reliable feel, Zen software never crashed, touchpad easy to operate after some initial training, display excellent, easy to navigate through the menus, etc.
    In the beginning I was very sceptical whether to spend that much money on an MP3 player, and also a bit sceptical whether I had chosen the right one (since there are many to choose from and there seems to be no immediate "first choice"). But today I'm more than happy with my purchase and couldn't imagine living without the Zen Touch 40GB anymore.
    The most amazing thing about it is simply the sound quality -- I keep listening to Jennifer Larmore singing Caesar's air "Va tacito" from Haendel's opera "Giulio Cesare in Egitto" (Julius Caesar in Egypt, HWV 7, 723), and it is stunning how crisp and clear the soloist's voice mixes with the outstanding horns and the beautiful harpsichord sound, etc... This alone is worth it. Having all my CDs in a belt-pocket everywhere I go is, in and of itself, another reason for such a device.
    OK, nuff said; I can honestly recommend this little gem!
    David
    <SPAN class=time_text>PS: For listening to operas an MP3 player is actually perfect since there is no need to change CDs -- I created a playlist for each opera, put the headphones on, lie down in my bed, and enjoy hours of musical delight without any breaks ;-)

    I just got my Zen Touch 40GB 2 days ago. I was surprised that it was slightly smaller than by Zen Xtra.
    My only concern with it is the operating system. Its missing many features compared to the Zen Xtra, some of which I really miss like the Tabbed View.
    And one annoying little detail, When a song is playing and you accidently touch the Touch Pad it automatically goes to the Seleced Music screen (Why?) If you press Pause in this area the song with just complete stop. And you have to start the song all over agian.
    Hopefully this little annoyance can be corrected in a Firmware upgrade.
    Also why isn't Creative advertising the 40GB player? All there pages still show the 20GB.Message Edited by TimT on 0-7-2005 03:25 PM

  • Repairs to Zen Touch 40gb in UK

    Hi,
    i have had a zen touch 40gb unit for nearly 2 years. Very pleased overall but like many things the newer models get smaller and lighter.
    However, like many others on this forum, i have dropped the unit and now the touch pad / front buttons wont work. I had 5000+ songs on, which i deleted so i could update the firmware etc.
    I contacted Customer Services and was told that they don't do this model no more and cannot accept it for repair. They offered me to purchase an Vision M or Vision at a discounted rate to compensate me for my troubles.
    This raised a few thoughts - Do Creative have major problems with this and other models and find a way round it by offering other models? I find it hard to beli've that so many people have had same problems and not got the issues resolved. It seems once it packs up, thats it - finito!!
    I have ordered a new Vision M (as i was planning to purchase it anyway, with the proceeds of my Zen Touch contributing to it).
    Does anyone know where i could send my Zen Touch to be repaired in the UK. It seems criminal to have a 40gb unit going to waste, particularly as it still plays tunes. I just need someone to repair the touch pad and buttons. It could be something very simple, but I am no TECHY!!
    I would appreciate any help.
    regards
    Manthevab

    John
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Without going into the whole story - I knew it was out of warranty therefore i wasnt expecting a replacement, however I expected the offer of at least a REPAIR.
    I am not an expert with these players, but i assume something has slipped inside the unit and this has made the right hand side buttons and touch pad redundant.
    I accept what you are saying about replacing with a newer model at a discounted rate, however i paid over ?230 two years ago and did not expect to be paying again 2 years later, except in a case where i sold my old one to part fund a new one.
    I now have a 40gb hard dri've player, which is unusable. I just want to know if there is a company that might be able to fix the problem for me.
    John, if you can help, i would appreciate it.
    Regards

  • Installation CD for Creative Zen Touch 40GB, or proper drivers and applications ther

    I just bought a Creative Zen Touch 40GB, but it didn't come with the CD. Anyone know where I can get a CD, or find all of the correct drivers and applications for it's Thanks

    You can download drivers and applications for the player on this site, just click on Support -> Downloads.
    You need to download a driver (install this first), the full MediaSource Player/Organizer application and then the MediaSource plug-in.

  • Will my incoming Zen Touch 40gb drive my headphon

    I just recently bought a Zen Touch 40gb, and it should be here any day now.
    I am wondering if this little bugger is going to be able to dri've my Labtec Elite-840 headphones. I've had problems with the power required to dri've these beasts before.
    Thanks for any reply!Message Edited by cerbeos on 03-02-2005 03:46 PMMessage Edited by cerbeos on 03-02-2005 03:55 PM

    Short of trying it it's difficult to say. If the Touch doesn't have enough power then you can always consider a headphone amp, but this is another box, with more batteries, to carry around.
    If you have bought the Touch in Europe make sure to update with an International firmware from Nomadworld.com downloads.

  • Zen Touch: Importing Playlists to the player with new firmware?/ Where do I get MediaSourc

    Hello!
    I have a problem with my Creative Zen Touch. I have updated the firmware of the Player to 2.., the new one which causes many trouble. The trouble is that I can throw my music via plug and play on the Player, but just with the Media Explorer for Play-for-Sure-Devices and with the Windows Media Player 0.
    With this programs it works quite fine, but I cannnot import playlists to the player, just the plain files. With the Media Explorer for Play-for-Sure-Devices I cant even select the Playlists and with the Windows Media Player the files just get loaded onto the player, but it does not import the playlist into the playlist-screen in the media-library in my Zen Touch.
    Before the stupid firmware-update came out, I used the Creative MediaSource-software, this worked quite well, because I also could import my Windows-Media-Player-Playlists and this was great. But now it does not work anymore. The problem with MediaSource is that after the firmware-update it does not recognize that my Zen Touch is connected with the PC. That is the reason why I cannot use this software to drag my music onto the Zen Touch.
    I tried to update my MediaSource via Internet via the auto-update-tool. Now I have mediaSource 3.30.2 but it still does not work. In this forum I read that there is a version 5 avaiable but where can I get it's Would it actually solve the recognizing-problem
    Are there maybe other possibilities to solve this problem
    I really need your help!
    Thank you,
    your Dridge from Germany

    OK, now I have found the MediaSource5-Software and I have downloaded and installed it. In the startpage there is at the end of the box "transfer playlist" but if I click on it, it says, that my Zen Touch is not connected. Overall the new MediaSource does not recognize my player, like the version 3 did too. But other software is recognizing that the Zen Touch is connected with the PC, like the Windows Media Player 0 or the Media Explorer for PlaysForSure-Devices.
    Please help me!

    You didn't answer the question. Did you install that SPECIFIC download I mentioned? This is fundamental to get the Touch to work with MediaSource.

  • Zen Touch 40GB: USB connection dies mid-transfer.

    I just received a brand new 40GB Zen Touch. While transferring a group of songs to it (whether via MediaSource or Media Player) it successfully transfers a few before freezing, waiting for a minute, and then claiming that either the Zen Touch is no longer connected or is busy. The only way to remedy the problem is to unplug the USB cable and reconnect - after which the same cycle is always repeated (a few songs, then freezing...).
    Can anyone advise?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Zen Touch 40GB and Windows Vista

    Hi-
    Apologies for opening a new thread,I can see there have been others on the same subject but cannot make head nor tail of them from the search function.
    I have a 40GB Zen touch thats nearly full,I love it,its the best device I've ever had or ever will,can't speak more highly of it but my Windows XP laptop is gone , and the new one came with Vista .
    Can anyone tell me how I can either add more music? or even get Vista to recognise my device. I cannot find a driver or software anywhere that will work. so I cannot add anymore new music or even get access to what I already have
    thanks

    $A longer-term, but one-time solution for the Zen Touch, Xtra & Micro (and a few, but not most, Sleeks & MicroPhotos) with original Creative PDE drivers and .x.x firmware (read the FAQs for more details):
    Find a PC with Windows XP (SP2 or higher) and WMP 0 (not 9, not ). Download & install the Creative PDE drivers from this site. Connect your player. Backup any irreplaceable files to the PC (the next step will reformat your player). Download & install the "PlaysForSure" firmware update (2.x.x) from this site. Restore any files you backed up in step 5. Disconnect your player & uninstall the PDE drivers.<This will update your player to MTP (aka PlaysForSure), which is nati'vely supported in Windows XP (with WMP 0 or ), Vista & 7 without any additional drivers. (MTP drivers are also available from this site for certain older versions of Windows.) WMA DRM files can be transferred via WMP; other files can be transferred using WMP, Windows Explorer, or MTP/PlaysForSure-updated Creative software from this site.
    The other post describes a kludge someone used to get an older Zen (with only PDE firmware) to work with Vista; it may or may not work. Creative does not support PDE-firmware players in Vista or 7.
