Zen touch accessori

I've been wanting to by an mp3 player and was thinking of the zen touch but i can't get anyone to answer my question. i've wrote into product info support but they haven't responded back yet. There isn't much said about the accessories for the zen touch and i don't know much about mp3 players so i don't know what all is compatible with it. On the accessory page for the zen touch it only lists a couple of things witch is mostly head phones but this isn't the only accesories for it is it's What accesories are compatible with it's I would like to find an fm transmitter so i can play my songs on the radio to and a case with a belt clip so i don't have to carry it around. It has the fm tuner remote listed as an accessory but will the fm turner II work with it also? I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out.

  • Zen touch accessor

    I have a Zen Touch 20GB, can someone tell me if there is something available that means I can listen to it through the car stereo, or my home stereo? I know there is one for the Zen Micro, will this work on the Touch? I need some advice before I go and spend the money on it!!! Thanks

    Search on "car stereo" in the FAQ post.
    For a home stereo typically you just need a mini-jack to twin RCA/phono sockets cable.

    vajacases.com has some nice cases... expensi've though.
    there are also meant to be some skins coming out from a company called (I think) Exspect at the end of May.
    There's a gizmo which lets you put your Touch into a car drinks holder, which is available at the Creative online store. There's also a Creative version of the Belkin Tunecast II, which is also available in the store, as is a Creative portable speaker system.
    Hope this hel

  • Several questions - new to Creative Zen Touch - please help (ripping/accessori

    Hi, I just ordered my new Zen Touch 20gb online last night with a set of Sony earbuds (MDR-EX5LP). I'm pretty excited, get it this Friday.
    I just had a few questions in advance:
    A) Which programs are best for ripping, allow you to adjust the quality of the songs, and won't cause problems when burnt cds are ripped (saw a thread earlier that complained of bad quality when burnt cds were ripped to MP3 that worried me)?
    B) What different types of cables/accessories would you recommend for wiring the Creative up to a stereo? On CNet.com and various other sites, they talk about how the Creative sounds great through speakers, and I'm really excited to hook that up, but I don't know A) Which cable to buy that will work well with the Creative/have good sound quality, B) Where to plug it in - headphone jack? (no analog Line Out, right?)
    C) Has anyone had any experience with the remote? Is it pretty durable? I'm not going to plop down 50 plus shipping and handling, wait 2-3 weeks for the backorder, only to have it fall to bits in a few weeks.
    Thanks SO much! I appreciate any and all help. I'm new to Creative/Mp3 players as a whole, so forgive any ignorance/mistakes.

    I have used WMP0 exclusi'vely for ripping CDs. I rip WMAs at 28kbps, though you may want to go up to 92kbps if you can hear the difference (some people recommed ripping a song at both and deciding which is best). I sync all my CDs with WMP0 too, and have had no issues. One thing to caution you is to make sure your ID3 tags are correct before you sync up. What I mean by this is to make sure the album name, track titles, and artist names are to your liking. 90% it is not an issue, but sometimes, the titles have extra characters you may not wish to have. If you have more than one artist listed on a track, only the first one is loaded. So if you have, say: "EmmyLou Harris; Buddy Miller", the track is stored under artist Emmylou Harris only.</LI>
    Belkin sells this Dell DJ base that the ZT will fit into (there is another thread on that here). That seems like a nice option. You do go out of your headphone jack. Any chord that has the headphone jack on one end, and stereo RCA (red, white) jacks on the other end will do.</LI>
    See other threads about the FM remote. I read some concerns about their durability, but read for yourself and decide.</LI>

  • Creative zen touch car accessor

    hello,ipod has this?adapter where you can plug?it into the cigarette lighter and it plays the ipod over the radio and the speakers in your car,i was wondering is there any item like that for my creative zen touch?

    A case is coming from Creative.
    I don't remember hearing anything about a dock yet.
    The video cable was being discussed on another thread, and it wasn't clear whether 3rd party cables work or not.
    There's no need to buy a travel adapter. Just buy a plug adapter for the current adapter.
    Screen protectors for the iPod apparently fit pretty well. They might need some trimming, or you can just buy another oversized screen protector e.g. for a PDA, and cut to size.
    There have been MANY headphone recommendation threads, like this one. Try searching back. I personally recommend Sony's EX5/7 canalphones, as well as the Sharp HP-MD33S canalphones (Creative have rebadged these and sell that as the EP-630s). They might be a little above your budget, but are both great canalphones.

  • The Creative Zen Touch Movement: Active Creative Us

    Who out there wants a skin for their Creative Zen Touch? Who is tired of the monopoly that Vaja cases has and forces you to buy their horrific case for 70 Big Ones? Who is tired of the Creative Case that is included and is extremely bulky and doesnt even have a screen to see what you are doing? Are you not tired of having to take the Zen Touch of the cases everytime you want to do something? Are you tired of users that have Iri'ver and Apple's Ipod having infinite accessory choices while you are limited to 2 case choices? If your answers to these questions were yes, this is the new movement for you. This movement will bombard companies like Iskin and xSkin with emails asking them to provide a Creative Zen touch alternati've for cases that are protecti've, photogenic, and sleek. This method works because Iskin and xskin want to make $$$ and with more emails they know they will make more money. My Ipod counterparts show off their Ipods and protecti've them with the xskin exo3 which is only 0.7mm thick, and cannot defend my creative zen touch because I have a bulky case that makes it 3 times as big. With a skin, my creative will be protected from scratchs, perfect for style points, and i dont have to take it out of a case everytime I want to change anything. This movement worked on the Iri'ver site where they overloaded the system with emails for Iri'ver skin requests, and 3 months later, Iskin rolls out a skin for the Iri'ver. We can do the same. I encourage you to assist me in this movement so we can bring the Creative Zen Touch to the top of all mp3 players trampling the Ipod and Iri'ver alltogether. Now whos with me? Its time for action because we are the Acti've Creative Zen Touch Users
    We are sending emails to these sites

    The Creative Zen Touch Skin Movement
    This is the Creative Movement brought to you by Creative Zen Touch users. We have had enough with the horrible cases that are offered to us as choices. We are look to towards you for salvation. We kindly ask that you create a skin for the Creative Zen Touch, our forums are overloaded with request. The market for a skin for the Zen Touch has great potential to grow and we offer you as our first choice to do so. We are tired of the Ipod and Iri'ver users who can show off their sleek mp3 player complimented by a sleek skin and a screen protector. We wish we can do the same. We want to level the playing field for all mp3 players and we are asking you to do so. I have talked to over 80,000 creative zen touch users via the Creative Forum and they are all urging for a skin and are willing to buy it. That is a great potential market you have in front of you. Thank you for your deep consideration. This movement is lead by Creative user dmai7.
    - Your Concerned and Ambitious Customer

    actually about the skin thing
    if u wanna change the skin of your touch you ll have to brake the warranty patch that is over a screw and with it end your warranty time.
    for stuff that sticks over the case its alright
    and yes there should be more accessories to this thing
    have fun

  • Where can I buy a Zen Touch

    Hi.
    I have been looking at the Zen touch for a wile now and am thinking of buying the 40GB model when it comes out.
    Today I went to Best Buy and Circuit City to look and test it out, but was disappointed to see that they don?t carry it yet? can anyone else think of somewhere to buy one that will have it out on the self with music loaded on it so I can test it's?
    Thanks in advance!!

    GunsNRoses, I have looked at the I-ri'ver H340 and its VARRY nice. I would go for it right away.
    But the thing that bugs me is they took out most of the functions from the American version (some of the missing functions are: USB host to take pictures from digital cameras, UMM, there?s more but I cant think :P ) also they take most of the accessories out. They did this to make the player cost less and to be a better competitor with the I-pod.
    On the other hand (for a bit more $$$) they do have an international version (AKA World version) that has all the functions and just about all the accessories. So if I get one I will get the international one.
    But today I emailed their tech support to see what would happen if I sent the international one into the American repair center. They replied that if I sent the international one and it needed to be replaced they would only be able to replace it with an American one. So I am looking into being able to get the warrantee out of US.
    The H340 is a .8? hard dri've so its a bit more shock proof which is nice.
    The sound quality is vary good but I did not get to compare it to the touch.
    They did not have any pictures loaded on it so I did not get to see that side of the player.
    I also like that I-ri'ver based the hard dri've format on the FAT format, making the hard dri've plug and play compatible, although this makes the player have a bit longer start up time (the longest time I have head is 40 seconds.)
    The interface is a bit hard to use if you don?t know how to, but once you get used to it it'ss EZ.
    To be able to record from anything is vary nice.
    Having the color screen is cool to.
    I have heard rumors about the player having the ability to save song lyrics and allow the user to access them when listening to music, I would find this really good, I don?t know if it will do this.
    I have spent a little time on the I-ri'ver forms to see what people say about it. From what I have seen on the I-ri'ver forms most of what people that have a H340 are asking for new firmware and not so much talking about hardware problems.
    The I ri'ver is more expensi've than the touch but it has more functions and comes with more accessories.
    Here?s a link to a site that sells the H340 if you wont to look into it more. They have some good info on it. : http://www.teamdigital.net/store/customer/product.php?productid=402&cat=203&page=
    Another thing about the international player is that it comes with a different wall outlet cable than we use in the US. But I do believe that the USB cradle charges the battery. And you can always go get a power adapter.
    On the Zen touch.
    I do like the other Zen models and a touch pad sounds nice. But I need to see it.
    I do not like that creative removed EAX from the player?s firmware and hope that creative will add that back with an update.
    It is nice to see that creative brought back the LCD wired remote with FM receiver.
    From the looks of the case creative supplies with the touch it looks good. Although others have said that its design faulty I think it will work fine.
    The touch is not plug and play, which can be annoying but it makes the player start up faster.
    The touch is also a .8? hard dri've, which is a bit more shock resistant than the 2,5?(other Zen models.)
    I don?t know much more on the touch, but I hope I do soon.
    I am still at a loss as which player I will buy, they both look so good. I hope when I can finally see them next to each other and test them I will know.
    The I ri'ver is more expensi've than the touch but it has more functions and comes with more accessories.
    If you have any questions post them and we can talk about it.

    You can normally buy the FM wired remote through our European online store:

    It is out of stock at the moment, but the online store may be able to advise you on when they will get more units in.

  • Zen touch in my a

    thinking about purchasing a zen touch. Do i need any special accessories to play it on my car stereo system? I have a honda element which has a mini-jack for auxiliary audio devices.
    Thanks.

    Read the thread entitled "BEFORE you post, READ THIS FIRST (FAQ)" It has all the answers there under the hot topics section.
    If you car has a jack for auxiliary audio devices, then buy a cord that attaches to the headphone output to the mini-jack, then play over stereo. Or do something else like whats suggested in the FAQ.

  • Looking for a Zen Touch Remote...with the following

    So...first off...where in the world are all the accessories for the Zen Touches? Man..what a dissapointment...spent alot of money on this thing mainly becuase I use alot of creative products and did not want to give in to the IPod craze...not to mention I'm a service tech. at my work and we get like 0 ipods a day in for service...such garabage...anyways:
    I'm looking for a wired remote for my 40 gig Zen Touch. I DO NOT NEED...FM Tune...a friggen MIC..i mean common people...a mic!!
    !! I do not need the time...
    all I require is a forward...backwards...fast forward..reverse...power on/off...backlight display with maybe the time duration on a track...and thats about it. is that so hard? does it exsist?...i'm leaning towards a probably not.
    can't help but feel abandond on my unit given there is a lack on accessories for this unit...and it just seems like creative is pumping out those really small...no space mp3 players with a full heap of accessories to choose from.
    well at least your Elite Pro is nice.

    orangeblast wrote:So...first off...where in the world are all the accessories for the Zen Touches?
    What accessories do you want? Most of the iPod accessories are junk, or just infinite versions of the same thing.
    I'm looking for a wired remote for my 40 gig Zen Touch. I DO NOT NEED...FM Tune...a friggen MIC..i mean common people...a mic!!
    !! I do not need the time...
    There is only the one remote, so that's the only choice I'm afraid. But if you don't need the features, don't use them.

  • Which would be a better purchase, Zen Touch or Zen Mic

    Okay for christmas this year I am asking for an mp3 player. Ive done my research and decided between the Zen Touch or Zen Micro so that I may take advantage of Napsters music downloading service. Now my delima is which would be a better purchase. Ive read reviews on amazon, epinions, and cnet. As far as the Micro goes its a love/hate type of thing while i've read only good reviews of the Touch. Now the Touch doesnt seem as popular and for what reason I dont know. Also i've noticed the Micro has a great number of more accessories than the Zen Touch. Now taking into consideration accessories and durability which would you say is the better LONG term purchase?
    -Thanks

    If you are planning on using subscriptoin music, I would go with the Touch, as it is a 20GB player and you have unlimited music to download (more space=more music )
    Don't get it wrong, the Micro is awesome, I would have got it if I didn't have so much music.
    And my guess as to why the Touch is not as popular as the Micro is that people don't like the way it looks and it's size (which is understandable, because of it's 24hour battery).
    The Touch is also a great value, because it comes with an AC power cable (the Micro used to come with this when it first came out, but now it is sold separatley), and a carrying pouch (I replaced mine with a better because you can't aceess the MP3 player while it is in the pouch, making it a bit inconvenient). On top of it all, the 20GB version sells for around $200. And with the new firmware, the "over-sensiti've" touchpad that many reviews claim is now taken care of, and it is as easy to use as the Zen Micro's touchpad .
    All in all, it is down to what you want:
    a 5GB MP3 player that looks cool and comes in 0 different colors
    or a 20GB player that comes with a few extra acessories. Both are around the same price (the Micro may be $20 cheaper, if it is on sale).

  • The ZEN Touch Fix... Buy an IPOD.

    Let?s compare ZEN Touch and Apple IPOD.
    ? Does IPod have plenty of accessories from third party suppliers like Bose ? YES
    ? Does Zen Touch have plenty of accessories ?. NO.
    ? Does the all the Zen Touch features like the ability to use it as an external file share work? NO.
    ? Does Creative Lie, Lie, Lie and ignore their faithful customers? YES
    ? Do the Zen Touch owners have a clue as to when their firmware upgrade announced last October will be out? NO
    This looks good for Apple and IPod.
    Not to good for Creative. This is what happens when you are successful. You screw faithful customers.
    Guess what. I am no longer a faithful customer and I have been one since their first 8 bit sound blaster card.
    Last but not least. Don?t forget DO NOT TO BUY CREATIVE. I will be sure to share this feeling to anyone who will listen. If I see someone buying a Creative product I will let them know their on their own if there is trouble. It?s better to buy a non creative product?..
    Ticked off Zen Touch owner.

    Be patient. You shouldn't hold Creative to statements released by CNET. Even if Creative itself announced anticipating the release of new firmware by a certain date, it is a goal, not a firm promise. One should always buy a product for its current capabilities, not what it might do in the future.
    With all due respect, a lot of people say the same thing as you said (I do when talking about motherboard and CPU tech with people who want to know what to buy), but they aren't seeing the "big picture." Promises of features to come should ALWAYS be treated with skepticism, especially if you hear rumor or speculation about missed release dates for things such as firmware updates. However, the truth of the matter is that a pattern of events such as announcing an anticipated date of release, failing to make it happen on said date, and no update put forth by any form of pr, are potential indicators of problems within the company. Just how extensi've those problems are cannot be determined until more concrete proof is established, but the fact that such indicators are noticeable should serve as a warning sign to buyers (new and returning alike).
    Creative must be very careful in this area as the DAP/MP3 player market has the potential to reach a far, far wider and varied range of customers, many of whom have never bought a Creative product of any kind in the past. Too many problems, and it could become a spotlight casting a negati've light on Creative's entire collection of products, whether or not they are experiencing the same sort of product release and support problems as the Zen / MuVo lines have.

  • Zen Touch No Longer Recognized By Windows Media Pla

    <SPAN>My Zen Touch stopping being recognized by Windows Media Player today.<SPAN> I still see the MTP connected icon in the task tray and I still it listed without a warning in Device Manager, but WMP doesn?t recognized that it is attached.<SPAN> I?ve tried different USB ports and a different USB cable.<SPAN> There are no errors in the application log.<SPAN> I reformatting my device and run the cleanup option, but I still can't WMP to see the device.<SPAN> The only changes I can think of is installing IE7 Beta 2 and installing MusicMatch.<SPAN> I?ve since uninstalled MusicMatch, but I still have the problem.<SPAN> Does anyone have any suggestions?<SPAN> Or there a way I can increase the logging so I can get a better idea of what might be failing.

    Hi Ted
    I deleted the file and reconnected my device and it quickly grew to 600kb. I'm not sure exactly what you need and there didn't seem to be anything interesting at the end of the log, but I did find the following lines which, from what I can, is from the point when WMP tried to establish a connection with the device and failed.

  • OK, Zen Touch Owners, Listen Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OK, when I tried to update the firmware on my Zen Touch to the PlaysForSure update, all of the original firmware was removed, and I could do nothing. This happened to a lot of other users, and most of their solutions seemed to be unique to the secondary computer they used. After searching through several threads, I finally found a solution that worked when nothing else would. Thank you so much Evil_Queen_Lisa for solving the problem: Step - Before you upgrade your firmware, back up your files as they will be lost. If you are here, unfortunately this is probably too late for you, but I figured I'd add it anyway. Step 2 - If you have licensed music - back up your licenses to an external source (like a USB key)->Go to WMP ->Tools ->License Management ->backup ->select your external dri've ->backup Step 3 - Restart your computer Step 4 - In "Add or Remove Programs" with "Show Updates" selected:***Note: you MUST uninstall in this order!!***a)uninstall windows media player , restart when prompted (also refered to as "Rollback" )b)uninstall windows medial player RunTime, restart when promptedc)uninstall Microsoft User-Mode Driver Frameworks Feature Pack .0 (and not something else with a similar name like .NET), restart your computer Step 5 - Download and install windows media format 9.5 RunTime from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=73C2650F-BE6-4BD6-8408-FD6E7827CD8 Step 6 - In "Add or Remove Programs" with "Show Updates" selected:Uninstall all software and drivers by Creative **Note: If you have a creative sound card (like "audigy" or "soundblaster" ) be carefull not to uninstall it's drivers / software! Restart your computer Step 7 - Plug your zen into its power outlet, and from recovery mode select "clean up" Quick Suggestion by Baffled: With your Zen plugged in, go to Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager and select Portable Devices. Right-click Zen Touch, and select Uninstall. Step 8 - Download the newest driver and the firmware for your Zen from here: (make sure you have the correct player and country) http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ Step 9 - Install the driver, and plug in your zen when prompted. If a pop up appears asking you what you want to do (ie open with WMP) just click cancel. Step 0 - Open the firmware upgrader ->click upgrade ->follow the instructionsif its successful -> CONGRATULATIONS!!! you are fixed!! I suggest you run your windows update wizard, and reinstall everything once your zen is working properly (it should work fine with WMP ). If this works for you, or doesn't, please post a reply and keep this thread ali've! Any moderators out there, please sticky this. It's a big and frustrating problem, and this is the only solution that appears to work uni'versally (three friends did this too).

    Well, from the looks of things, more devices are having problems with firmware updates, without any solutions put forward from the manufacturer. Poor show, Creative.

  • DO NOT BUY CREATIVE ZEN TOUCH 2

    I cannot begin to explain the problems I have had with the Zen Touch that I bought 2 Weeks ago. The long and short of it is the original device that I bought, I could not transfer songs to it. Dowmloading the latest Firmware / Drivers / Application etc made no difference whatsoever. Problems ranging from errors like 'Device is busy or not attached', to copying songs across and them showing on Creative Media Organiser but not showing on the device itself. Also problems with the device freezing and having to wait for the battery to run out before it would work again. After lengthy phone calls to someone on support who could neither speak or understand english, I arranged for another one to be sent to me, in return for the faulty one. And guess what, the new one has exactly the same faults as the original. I have uninstalled the software on numerous occasions thinking that it may be a faulty install. Set it all up on my machine at work, and my friends machine at work, only for the same problems to occur when transferring songs. To top it all, I sent 3 messages to the support link on the creative web site, only to have a response to, yep you guessed it, NONE of them in FOUR DAYS. My advice to anyone who is thinking of buying a Zen Touch, or any other Creative Labs product come to think of it is, is to go out in the back garden and set fire to the money instead. Just incase anyone thinks I am doing something wrong, I work for a software company, and I know that if we sent a product / gave a support service that was as poor as that I have received, I would be out of a job in 5 minutes. I am Going to get my money back and go for an iPod, telling everyone I know to steer well clear of creative. Thanks for listening.

    "If the mailer I received from Cambridge Soundworks yesterday (a Creative complany) is any indication, buying a 20GB Zen Touch or even Sleek would be a bad move. It looks like the Sleek is already being relegated to the status of "**bleep** stepchild" in the Zen line-up, which is where Touch has been for a while. The latest ad from Cambridge Soundworks was pushing the Micros, Nanos, Muvos and even Neeons. But no Sleeks."
    You comments don't make much sense. The Sleek is a new model and is probably backordered by many dealers. That is probably why Creative is not promoting it heavily on its own. Demand from Creative's retailers is probably more than enough to consume the production for a while.
    "But that's not what's interesting. It's what product <B>was</B> prominently featured: The Zen 20GB. This is the player that looks like a fat Zen Micro in a black case, previously available only in Asia. "
    That does seem to make sense though, since Creative probably didn't make enough of them for a full retail store roll out in the US, so they probably decided that that selling them directly would be a good move. National retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, etc. want products to be available in huge quantities otherwise they don't want to sell them.
