Zen Touch new mod

I have a 3g ipod right now and like the way it feels. I do have some complaints:
- No WMA support. I had to convert my WMA to Apple's AAC format. Now I have two copies of a lot of my songs.
- Does not work with WMP0. I am not a fan of iTunes at all.
Now, I am looking for a new player. Is the Zen Touch easy to use?
Also, I don't want to buy it now if a new model is coming out soon. Does anyone know anything about a new model?

Haardt,
I checked out your review on the Zen Touch. Very informati've evaluation. In fact, this was one of the reviews I used when considering purchasing one. Under "Weaknesses" you mention that the battery can only be changed by Creative. Actually, the battery can easily be replaced by the user. Of course, doing so will void the warranty. However, this isn't a problem since your battery will die long after the warranty expires anyway. Lithium-Ion battery life should be far less a worry than battery capacity. I used to own a Rio Riot which had an internal Lithium-Ion battery. I owned it for about 2 /2 years and charged it to some degree almost every day. I thought the battery was dead because I was having charging problems. After buying a new battery, I discovered it wasn't the battery at all. It was the charging terminal that had come lose from the circuit board. The bottom line is these batteries will last a long, long time. By the time they die, there will likely be a newer model player you'll want to upgrade to.

  • Zen Touch - New Firmw

    Hi!
    99 percent of your Zen (Touch) Customers are waiting for a new firmware (that allows to use the zen as an external HD and shows the clocktime somewhere, and a lot more). So here is my question: Is a new firmware in development (if yes, when will it be published?) or is a new firmware planed at all?
    Greets Robby

    Please use search, this topic has been discussed many times.
    A new firmware is coming, we don't know exactly when.
    It won't give dri've letter support, but it will give Microsoft's MTP support.

  • [Zen Touch] New firmwa

    Hello.
    Back again.
    My sister bought my Zen Touch (the one I replaced with an iPod Photo), and I am just wondering if anyone has heard anything on the (supposedly) coming firmware for the player...
    So, cheers.

    I agree, but they *have* promised a new firmware for a long time, and seem to focus very much on other players now (I guess they will have to, to keep up with The-Bestest-Portable-Audio-Player-Company-In-The-Whole-Wide-World, being called by the name of a fruit that is not pears or plums, and comes before peas).

  • New Zen Touch not being detected by Windows

    I just bought a 20 gig Zen Touch off ebay, and tried to get it to run.
    The firmware on the Zen tells me it's version 2..0, which is the PlaysForSure version. So, I downloaded the driver specific to PlaysForSure, and tried to run it. It looked like it installed just fine, but when I plug in the player, it just recognizes it (at the start) as Creative Zen Touch, and opens up the Found New Hardware wizard. So, I don't think it recognizes my Zen.
    This, of course, leads to all the programs not being able to recognize my Zen, either, and to me not being able to reload the firmware (just in case), or anything of the sort. Not really sure how to proceed, and I've been scanning the help files, which have been no help. The knowledge database seems to suggest that Windows XP will just load the proper drivers, which, of course, it doesn't.
    How do I proceed? I thought this would be the answer, but it presumes that Windows will detect the device as an MTP, and somehow just find the right driver, which it doesn't.
    I'm at a bit of a loss as to where I go from here. The drivers aren't installing, and the closest I can get is my Device Manager showing the Creative Zen with a big yellow question mark next to it, because the drivers aren't installed properly.
    Help?

    Try downloading and installing the latest drivers, Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03.
    Also try running a disk cleanup from rescue mode.

  • ZEN TOUCH 20GB - Stuck in Recovery Mode, during Firmware upgrade. HEL

    Ooooh dear.
    Me and my Zen Touch are completely stuck. Decided to upgrade the Zen's Software and Firmware and am now in deep trouble. Here are the steps I took.
    First I sensibly backed up the 2000 songs on the player to my computer. Then I updated the MediaSource software and restarted the computer. Then I decided to go for the big change and downloaded the new PlayForSure firmware installation and that's where the problem starts - It never completed the installation, which I had to manually stop. I knew as part of puting this new Firmware onto the player, the Zen would be wiped clean, which it has. However, I now cannot get it out of recovery mode and it will not respond to attempts to download the new (or any) Firmware onto it.
    What I now get is:
    -Plug the Zen in, the computer recognises that there is plug and play equipment attached and makes the appropriate noise.
    -The Zen will switch itself on as a response (or I can do it manually), with a normal-looking startup. It then briefly flashes a screen saying "Firmware Problem" before going into recovery mode.
    -If I choose Clean Up, it takes a few seconds to clean the now empty disk, and returns to the recovery menu
    -If I choose Format All, pretty much the same as Clean Up
    -If I choose Reload Firmware, it warns me that the firmware will be erased. And asks if it should reload it via USB. You say 'yes' and it briefly flashes up "Start firmware update now" before returning to the recovery mode menu.
    And finally, if I select Reboot, that's exactly what it does; the computer recognises that it's turned off, makes the noise, and recognises when it's turned on again.
    Trying to download the Firmware from the computer, however, has turned into a nightmare. I've tried downloading the PlayForSure firmware and old Firmware from the files on my computer (running XP, by the way). And I've also tried prompting the Zen starting up the Media Source software, BUT they all claim that the player is NOT connected! Even though it is! The Zen switches on and Windows makes a sound every time I connect or disconnect it!
    So what to do? I'm stuck in this vicious circle and no matter what random tricks I try, I can't get out. The player needs Firmware, but the software on the computer claims the player's not connected.
    The player is now more than a year old, so I can't return it, and Creative's less-than-generous telephone support is not an option, so I'm left to any imaginati've and kind-hearted subscribers to this list to offer suggestions.
    HELP!

  • Zen Touch: problems starting, touchpad, new firmw

    This is a description, in chronological order, of the issues I have had with the Creative Zen Touch player.
    . Bought player, charged exactly as described and player would not get past Zen Touch screen. Tried everything without success, had player swapped by **bleep** Smith.
    2. WMA and data files added to new player without any problems. Players seems to work well.
    3. More files added, but I started receiving an error when trying to copy files to the player from the computer. It seems that the player requires significant power to talk to the computer, this problem was more prevalent on a computer with USB .. A full battery charge will work but this will be drained quickly, so the best bet is to plug the player into the mains while it is docked with the computer. This should be added to the manual.
    4. Player seems to work well from that time till the past week.
    5. Installed newest firmware a week or more ago.
    6. During the past week there was one day when the touchpad would not work properly. This problem was that moving between items becamse very cumbersome. I would move to a selection, but when I lifted my finger, the selection would jump two places lower. If I just touched the touchpad, the selection would jump two places lower. This problem rectified itself a day later.
    7. Tried to start player as per normal but it would not start. Used reset buton, player started and had at least two thirds of battery (ie I guess that the problem starting was not battery related).
    8. The next day, the same problem occurs, but reset would not work. Tried many means of starting player, until plugging into mains. Player starts and shuts down as per normal within a short period of time. Waiting significantly longer and the problem starting the player will arise.
    9. Went to special menu on player and cleaned up player then rebooted. Player seems to work.
    0. Next day player will not start. Tried pressing and holding down the start button for a long time, pressing many times in a short period, using reset button, using reset with play/pause button. Eventually tried mains, which brought the Creative logo onto the screen with no backlight, player did not even try to charge itself (ie flashing led on start/shutdown switch). I left player plugged into the mains and came back to find it charging. After this, the player started.
    . Later in the day, I tried unsuccesfully to start player without success, using all possible tricks as mentioned. Went to inspect player a while later and it had was playing.
    2. Now I have found that if I do not actually perform a shutdown and the player switches itself off using the idle settings, it will start up more easily, but not the first time. It seems that the touchpad problem (read above) has returned, but not as bad as before, in conjunction with the player being slightly easier to start (up to 5 attempts at pressing start).
    Theories:
    - When player is shut down it stays in a quick start mode for a period of time. During this time, if player is started, it will quickly start up and begin playing. After this time, a procedure automatically changes so that a more full startup is required during the next start-up, eg parking hard dri've or something else.
    - When a player is shutdown from idle, a different shutdown happens, allowing easier startup later.
    - The player in question is having difficulty starting from this second mode.
    - Start/Stop button not jammed or working. Unlikely because I can shut down using the button
    - Player not receiving startup message. Possible, but unlikely because reset does not work and theory .
    - Battery not strong enough to perform initial startup? Feasible option given that the only time the player could start was when plugged into mains. However, player does have 2/3 of life left, which does not make any sense, unless the battery indicator is faulty. Fully charging the battery did not make a difference. Thus, max output of battery may have diminished.
    - Hard dri've faulty. I am not hearing any hard dri've sounds when attempting a startup, so this is unlikely, since once player is started, everything works.
    - New firmware is problematic. Explains sudden change in player's working. However, when I went to downgrade the firmware it said that the files may be corrupted by going back a version, yet to test.
    - New firmware requires a hard disk format to work properly. Was this fully tested by Creative before release? Ie, did they put 0 gig of music on a Touch, then upgrade the firmware and see if the player continues to work correctly for a reasonable period?
    - Player is a first time release with unironed bugs trying to capture the overflow from iPod, and we are the testers.
    To Creative,
    I am reasonably upset by this turn of events. I chose the Creative player over the iPod because of the battery life, reported music quality, ability to play more formats and the added storage. However, I would prefer a more durable player to what I appear to have in my possession. I believe I have given a reasonable description of the player and its problems, which should assist, unless the problem is already known. Please advise me of my options Creative.

    Number 6 has turned out to be my electronic albatross. I have attempted every concept that I have read on this board: wiped down the keypad with a towel, damp cloth, bought a plastic case in an attempt to ward off static electricity, reset the unit, cleaned up the hard dri've, etc.. The fact remains that the unit jumps when it wants to. Very disconcerting. I have decided that since Creative is well aware of the issue and is maintaining corporate silence, that I should just cut my losses and buy an iPod. Tested one at an Apple store last night and was impressed with the control and functionality of their click wheel. It is a real shame as I truly think this Zen Touch was a cool idea but has consistently lacked support and follow up by Creative.
    Haha remember that poem...rhyme of the ancient mariner...good to see other cultured fellows...
    anyways I too have been haveing the jump problem. I've gotten somewhat accustomed to it, but I simply can't wish I had an iPod....its control is so much better. My friend said that this was how the iPod was at first, but then it got better. Now whether this was a software problem (I hope so) or an actual hardware issue (I'm going to be ticked if they don't replace it), I don't know. They better rectify it.
    I wrote them a huge, uber persuasi've, rhetorically packed essay about why they must fix this problem if they wish to ever be on the same playing field as apple.
    and I never got a reply.
    so we'll see what happens. they better fix it.

  • Problems with the new Zen Touch Firmw

    I'm getting the opposite of the problems other users I read about have with the new firmware: I DON'T want to use MediaSource further but my computer doesn't recognise my Zen Touch as an external hard disk (or Audio Player or anything else I can just drag and drop my music). MediaPlayer is recognising it and on my fathers computer it aso worked.
    What should also be said: Right after installing the new firmware it worked but one day later my computer denied doing the same thing as the day before...
    I'm quite desperate and I hope you can help me soon.

    somebody help me.....just doaloading the latest zen touch firmware and Bang....computer crashed, and the fimware that was on the zen deleted...now i can't update no kind of firmware...sys the there?s no device, but in my computer says that exists one zen...

  • 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>

    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 stuck in recovery mode, anyone who can hel

    My creative zen touch is stuck in recovery mode and says there is a firmware problem. Anyone no how i can solve this? or what to do about firmware?

    Hi, As you can see from earlier I had the same problem. Caused by trying to upgrade to download the free book from the Times. There is a message and reply on about page 3/4 called "Zen Touch - Firmware". The advice in there pointed to the Devi've Driver in there I enabled my Zen and rebooted PC. I then downloaded 2 upgrade files from NOMAD and it now works. I can't remember the exact sequence of events as it seemed a bit of trial and error but I got there. GOOD LUCK

  • Zen touch stuck in recovery mode after usual update attempt.HE

    I like many others on the forum have attempted to carry out the firmware update only to be left in the same position as many others.My zen touch is now stuck in the recovery mode with no firmware and my pc wont recognise the player. The o/s on my pc is windows xp professional version 2002 service pack 2. I have wiped the hard dri've and installed a copy of windows 2000 but still no luck. I re-installed windows xp and now in device manager i have a creative zen touch showing and also a pci modem both with yellow ? marks next to them with a message of re-install drivers code 28,however the drivers are already installed with the latest driver from the creative web site. It appears that the pc wont recognise the player because there is no firmware installed. I have tried almost everything that has been mentioned on the forum and am now at my wits end. The player was working perfectly well before trying the firware update and i think that it is disgusting that a company as large as creative has not helped more with this problem ,looking at the amount of people that has had this same thing happen to them.Any help from you good people out there would be much appreciated. Thank you.Paul.

    I too tried the 'upgrade' and now my Zen is history. I will not give up - I just do not have the hours that it will take to fix available to me right now.
    I am very serious, Creative People, I have 2 suggestions:
    ) remove the faulty upgrade from your website
    2) Fire the person who initiated the upgrade.
    I certainly wouldn't have a job if I created an upgrade like this.

  • Max Number of files supported by new Zen Touch Firmwar

    Hello
    I used to have about 34gigs of music on my zen touch with the old firmware. But now it will only accept about 20 gigs. Does anyone know what is the max number of files that zen touch supports with new firmware ?
    Thank You

    RBBrittain wrote:
    Has anyone verified that this is true of MTP players as well? I doubt it'll be different (the tag-data library system is common to all Nomad-type Creative players, whether PDE or MTP), but with all the changes needed for MTP, it would be helpful.
    I don't have a 40Gb Touch, which is really the kind of player you'd need to test this.
    BTW, I was referring to the overall capacity limit, which is tied more to space than to number of songs; that was what Creative was talking about when they said MTP reduces the Touch's song capacity. Having a Micro myself, I've never had enough capacity to test the internal song limits.
    Free space is pretty obvious, and the initial question was relating to number of files and any potential limit. I'm not sure what it is about MTP that reduces the space, whether it's the firmware, file system, or some addition to the files.

  • Modding a Zen touch to 40gb hard dr

    Has anyone tried putting a 40 gig or more hard dri've in a zen touch, if so what dri'ves will fit's

    StainlessSteelRat is correct, the dri've used in the Zen Touch is a very slim, compact, new dri've. A standard 40GB dri've would be larger and won't fit in the Zen Touch casing. The unit is technologically speaking a lot more compact and complicated than previous units, so bear this in mind when you're looking at any How To guides from previous products.
    I'd just like to emphasize as well that opening up the unit will invalidate any warranty you have, and that we do not offer any support for this.

  • JHTTP/Notmad with New Zen Touch Firmw

    Does notmad or any other program like jhhtp can do the http/webserver thing with the new firmware?Message Edited by lsd_us3r on -02-2005 02:4 AM

    No they dont. The Zen Touch uses the MTP interface and doesn't use the Creative Zen drivers which those programs relied on. So when they are open it will tell you that the device is not connected.
    RedChair should update Notmad soon, possibly in a few weeks time or sooner as they already have Duebox which support MTP for the Dell DJ's to go by so it shouldn't be hard for them to take what they did in Duebox and use it in Notmad.
    JHTTP uses the Creative driver as a means of communicating with the Touch and since the new PFS firmware doesn't use the Zen driver it will not work.
    Existing programs which do not require an update, but may need to download a plugin automatically, are Windows Media Player 0, Musicmatch 0+, and Real Player 0.5. WMP does not need any plugins to download. MM and Real Player will need to download a plugin but this is done within the program and is complete in a matter of seconds (about 300kb download if I can remember correctly).
    The Zen plugin for Winamp will also no longer recognize the PlaysForSure Zen Touch.
    The Zen Touch will also not work with Linux or Mac. XNJB for Mac does not support MTP as stated on its website, which will be updated soon to include the same message as the Zen Micro and other players have.
    You are limiting yourself to a few select programs made by the large companies or those who have the money, like Red Chair, to use until third party or open source companies make something. And its been nearly a year now since the MTP players were released and I have yet to see many open source or free program by a small company be created to use, despite Microsoft releasing the MTP Porting Kit to make things a little easier for people to make a program which works. I have only seen one: Media Monkey, currently in a beta stage but it works at least with MTP players.Message Edited by DM on -02-2005 09:54 AM
