Zen Touch in your car speak

Hi there every. how do I get the zen touch to direct connect to my car player. (no FM tX) I also dont have an auxillery connection to the front face of it either(cd player) is there a usb thing that can trick the cd player like the ipods and make it think its a cd changer? thanks.

Do you have a cassette player in your car?
If so, you can buy a cassette adaptor, (less than $0 USD) and use it that way. The sound is not high-fidelity, but in a car, who cares?

Connecting zen touch to car stereo (no tape dec

i'd like to play music from my zen touch in my car, but i've a head unit with no tape deck.... is there some accessory/way i can get by without a tape adapter? thanks,
-matt

Most car decks don't have auxillary input with the two holes. The Aux. input is usually combined with the CD Changer option, an adapter is usually needed to convert the CD changer jack to an Aux. Jack.
Most likely if you are trying to do this with a stock deck, it might be impossible, but it doesn't hurt to try take a look and see if there is an Aux input.

Zen Touch Display light inbetween track

Any chance I can have the display light up for a second or two when a new track begins to play? This would be great since I use my Zen Touch in my car and it would be a very helpful feature while driving at night.
Thanks in advance.

No, unfortunaltely your player can not do this.
I have never thought of such an option. For me personally it is of no value, I do not need it, but it is interesting to observe how the needs for more features and options are subject to evolution. I remember myself longing for a muvo, than I wanted something more, than a larger capacity, than some more advanced features and menu options and it never ends. One discovers every day some new needs to improve the usability of...everything. It is never enough...:-)

Is The Zen Touch Sensitive To Moti

I notice that everytime I use the Zen Touch in my car, or when I'm walking the player either locks up, randomly selects tracks, or just don't act right. But when I have it placed in one place, it plays just fine. Is this common with the Zen Touch? If so, is there anything that can be done about it's Thanks.

I only have the lock button engaged when I'm in my car, or walking with the player, while I'm playing audio tracks. I use the pause/play button a lot also. That's when the problem begins.

[Zen Touch] Car Char

What is the appropriate Car Charger to purchase for a 40GB Zen Touch? If the Creative one is the one with the bulky in-line transformer, does anyone know of a non-creative one that's safe to use but doesn't have the big transformer? (I don't know that I trust the $6 deal on evil-bay)
Also, I plan to use this in the car 90% of the time. Is there any harm that can be done by leaving it plugged in constantly? It will detect that the battery is charged and not overcharge the unit, correct?
Thanks in advance for your replies.Message Edited by svo4turbo on 02-26-2005 02: AM

Hi, here's the link where You can get very cheap, but 00% compatible Zen Touch Car Charger: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=75464&item=5754640 576&rd=
I've got this one myself & it works perfectly without any defects.
If You will leave your player plugged in constantly it's alright only if You use it at the same time. But if it just stays on charge all the time without using, it's not good for your battery - overcharging may cause shortaging of battery life.
Hope that helps

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.

Is your Zen Touch froz

Does it hang at the "Zen Touch" screen? Is it not accesible whatsoever?Okay here's the thing. A lot of people are having this problem, even I had it. So this is what you need to do:
First off, try running a cleanup of your Zen. To run the cleanup you will need toget into Rescue (AKA Recovery) mode.. Turn off your Zen player.2. Hold down the Play/Pause button and insert a paper clip into the Reset hole on the Jukebox Zen.3. Remove the paper clip from the Reset hole and then release the Play/Pause button after the recovery mode has started.4. The Jukebox Zen will enter the Recovery Mode and the following options will be displayed:a. Clean Up (Performs a disk scan on the players harddisk)b. Format All (Formats the players harddisk - Note: all contents will be lost)c. Reload OS (Reloads the Operating System on the Jukebox - Note: Reloading your OS, will not effect the contents of the files stored on your Jukebox Zen)d. Reboot (Reboots the device)
That's that. It's that simple. The other thing you can do.. is Percussi've Maintenance. Meaning.... Hold the Zen Touch in one hand (back facing you)2. Use the other hand to give it a nice firm whack on the back.3. Restart player using paperclip4. Wait5. It should work now!If you don't believe me.. than go hereNow if that still doesn't work. Than contact Tech Support, and if you email them, they will email you back something like this:

That's it, and good luck.

Just to add something creative replaced my touch a few weeks ago and it was chipped by the ac adapter. When I say chipped I mean like a noticeable piece was missing so people shouldn't think scratches and other accidents means you'll have to pay for repairs automatically. In case anyone is wondering i keep my zen in my pocket and stuff in there scratches it up but the chip was I accidently dropped it on some dirt.

How do you backup your Zen Touch (or any other playe

I have some seen posts that suggest that you backup your MP3 player. This sounds like a sensible idea. I own a Zen Touch, and so far have been using WMP 0 exclusi'vely to sync files to my ZT.
Can someone tell specifically how I might backup my ZT (even though I have all my music on my PC, so I probably do not need to do something explicitly)?
I think others might find this backup information useful.

hot_guitar: Backing up is covered in my Nomad Primer, but as Cat intimates, it's just a case of backing up the data. There's no way just to image the player, for example.
lukeg_uk: Similar to hot_guitar, take a look at my Nomad Primer. I think you'll find you can't copy files with DRM back to the PC. I would guess there are guides about backing up the licenses and the files on the PC itself, at least you would hope (and this is one of the irritations about DRM).

Is it safe to attempt to turn on your zen touch while battery is dead

When I first got my micro i turned it on strait out of the box... The micro had about one bar worth of battery power...
When i got my new Zen Touch I was so exited i just ignored the fact that the owners manual says, "Make sure battery is fully charge before use."
I just went a head and tried to turn it on.... When i did, nothin' happened. I thought the touch was broken...
I then plugged it in to the charger and tried to fire it up once more. It worked!!!
Now I'm just curious... Are you damaging your touch when you try to turn it on, on an uncharged battery straight out the box? And when you try to turn it on nothing happens?
Plz respond.
Thanks
Can i cause damage?
did i cause damage?

Response to "Troopscoop"
Well I own a white 5 gig zen micro, and a 40 gig zen touch....
the strollpad on both players, in terms of sensitivity & style are alike.
the only difference is, the touch strollpad is longer, that's it.
PS: the micro's back light is way brighter than the touch's though.

Zen Sleek... any way to hook to car speake

Hello,

Is there any type of adapter or hook ups that will let you hear your songs in your car thru the speakers?
I only have a CD player... no cassette. :smileyindifferent:

Please anyone HELP!!! I received the Zen Sleek for my birthday.
If this can't be done, I guess it will get returned to the store or swapped for another type of mp3 player so I can use it in my car.

Thank you in advance for any help or ideas!
Have a great day!

Hi Whit!,
You will encounter this same question with another player aswell if you purchase one.
Check if your car stereo/CD player has any inputs. The manual should cover this. If you have an auxiliary/line input, then you're set, you'll just need the right cables to connect. Some stereos (like some Pioneer models) have a connection on the back that you'd need a special cable for, but once you have that you'd have an aux input.
If you don't have this, the other option is always an FM transmitter, it connects to your player and transmits the audio at a certain frequency, you tune into that on your car stereo's radio and you can receive the signal (so wirelessly). Check out this page for some more info (and a picture).
If you li've in the UK though, bear in mind that FM transmitters are still illegal there (last time I checked).

Zen Touch Car Charger Usage Questi

]Hi, I have the Zen Touch and plan on using it mostly in the car. ?All
of my MP3's are at 92kbps and I have the volume set fairly high. ?I
don't want to worry about the Zen's battery running out, so I have
purchased the official car charger (DC through the cigarette lighter)
from Creative. ?
I am wondering if it will be ok to have the car charger plugged in all
the time, both when I am using the Zen and when it is just sitting in
the car, turned off. ?Or, shoulld I just charge it when it needs it's
Is there any real chance of damaging the Zen if I leave the car
charger plugged in most of the time?
TIA.

for most lithium batteries it isnt useful to continusly charge them. I coulnt find an article I read that talks about batteries anyhow this might help

Apple has a good tips on batteries for their notebooks and Ipod that may help you as well.

Connecting my zen touch to speak

Hi everyone. I'm new here and to mp3 players as well. I was wondering if it is ok to connect my Zen Touch to speakers which run on external power instead of batteries. I tried looking at the FAQ for the Touch but did'nt find an answer so I hope you guys can help me out. Thanks.

Yep, it's absolutely OK. I connect all my MP3 players to a large home cinema setup as well as some good quality "computer speakers" and a car stereo

Zen Touch Car Adapter??? carrying ca

Does anyone know if there is a car kit available for the Zen Touch as well as a better carrying case?

There is a silicone sleeve made by Exspect that was intended for the 20GB but because of its stretchability and looseness, it fits the 40GB quite will (may be even better). In the UK you can find it at amazon.co.uk. In the US, you can pre-order from here: http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=2264.
