Zen touch speakers / dock

I was just wondering what different speakers or docks there are that are compatible with the Zen Touch? The best one available appears to be the Cambridge Soundworks playdock, but this is only available to US customers.
What docks or speakers are available in the UK for the Zen Touch?

Okay, if you want one that doesn't use battery but a power cable, then you would still need to connect to a socket, so not as portable as the Travelsound is.
The speakers listed under 2.0 are all fairly small (especially ones like the SBS Vivid 60), as they are just 2 speakers and a power adapter (no subwoofer).

  • 40gb Zen Touch not docking. PLEASE HEL

    I recently got a new 40gb Zen touch. When I plug it in via USB the computer recognizes it and it is listed in the device manager? but Creative Media Source won't show that its docked, therefore I can't transfer any music on it via media source. I've tried every thing includng changing the usb preferences etc but still nothing. Please can someone help. I'd be extremely grateful!?p.s I have windows media player 0. Thanks.

    There is a huge thread on this issue on this forum already. I think some of it is referenced in the "sticky" section at the top of this forum.
    Bottom line is try to install all the new stuff; driver, Mediasource, Mediasource Plugin for Playsforsure, etc..

  • Creative Zen Touch USB Docking Probl

    Hi and thanks for looking:
    I was trying to dock my Creative Zen Touch a few minutes ago, the way I usually do:
    . I have Creative MediaSOurce open
    2. I plug the USB cable into the Zen
    3. It's docked.
    But that didn't work. The "DOCKED" screen came up on my Zen for about 2-3 seconds, then went away and went back to Now Playing. Now, this sometimes happens, but if I reset the MediaSource software and plug it in again, it is usually all set, but no. I've tried over 20 times, with different USB cables too, but I just can't get anything to dock. I'm going to try on another computer and if I can get it to work, I'm planning on backing up everything I have on it. I don't want to reset my 3000 songs that are on my Zen, so if anyone has any solution to this problem, I could really use some help. Thanks!!

    well with my micro, logging off other users and removing other background programs, real player etc.. sometimes seemed to help. try restarting your system.
    I believe that recently rolling back from WMP affects the vision

  • Creative zen touch 40gb docking sys

    hello
    does anyone have a docking system compatibility list for this system?
    thanks

    I have the same thing, and I have yet to find any docking stations. Tell me if you find one though, because I'm totally interested!

  • Creative Zen Touch no longer docking; problem has appeared out of the bl

    For the last couple of years, I've used my Creative Zen Touch without any issues. I managed to upgrade to the MTP firmware with no troubles whatsoever. When I tried to plug it in a few days ago and add a number of songs, the computer no longer recognised the player. The USB ports seem fine, and when I plug it in the player boots. It doesn't come up with the "docked" screen on the player, however, and in Windows a "trying to add new hardware wizard" window pops up that never used to pop up before. Whatever I try to do, it never works. I'm using Windows XP SP2 and like I said, I never used to have any issues before until this popped out completely unexpected. It just won't realise that the Zen Touch is a MTP player for some reason!

    The people on the forum who would respond are customers, like you, being rude to them probably won't encourage them to help.
    These two pages contain some useful tips, have you checked these yet?

  • 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.

  • 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>

  • Connecting Creative Zen Touch to Stereo (Bose Lifestyle Syst

    Hi Folks,?A bit of a naf question, I want to connect my Creative Zen Touch to a Bose Life Style System, To provide the best quality Audio connection can you advise what is the best cable for me to use. On a seperate note has anyone any comments on the Cambridge SoundWorks Dock Station, I would like something to connect the Zen Touch to for the kitchen, the cambridge sounddock id a bit of an ugly beast. Is there anything a little easier on the eye but with the same excellent audio quality. Thanks in advance for any help?Earlsie

    If you have RCA inputs on your stereo, just buy a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable and connect it that way. If not, buy an FM transmitter, connect it to the headphone jack on your Zen Touch, set it to a channel and then tune into that channel on the stereo's radio.
    Hope that hel

    Here's a pic & link too:

    You can buy it at any RadioShack (in America) and in Canada I would assume FutureShop would have it as well as any local electronics store.

  • Firmware Problem on my zen touch....PLEASE HELP ME

    Hi, I have had my zen touch for over a year now, works great. Recently I tried to up grade the firmware to ZenTouchP4S_PCFW_LB_2__0.exe While installing it erased the whole music plus the previous firmware. So when installing it froze an now my player starts in recovery mode an its in v0.0.0. When I try to upload the new firmware it tells me to connect my player, but its already connected. Nothing wrong with my usb cord so I am lost, can anyone help me resolve this problem so I can listen to my music again.....thanks.

    I finally got it. I had to uninstall and reinstall the zen touch, windows 0, an the media source from the installation disc. After that when i plugged the player in it stayed in the recovery mode, before it would say docked an have that lil music note screen on. So i went to device manager on my comp an looked up the zen touch, it said error code 0. I followed the on screen instructions from my comp. It said to right click an uninstall then go to add hardware, an it searched for devices plugged in an BAM! A lil screen poopped up an said zen touch player detected......So i hurried an installed the new firmware an everything is ok now. So anyone havin the same problem follow these somewhat clear instructions. Thanks.

  • Zen touch is froz

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I cannot turn it off, and all buttons seem to not work. When I plug it into my computer, the screen will change to the "Docked" screen, but the computer does not recognize that it is their (computer won't upload the zen touch's library or playlists)
    I mustn't be the only one that this has happened to?

    but why? just reset it. that will take much less time.

  • Zen touch froze, now i'm stuck in recovery m

    my zen touch froze, after idle shutdown i turned it back on and it froze again. the next day, i turned it on, and it showed my libary as being empty. i tried to reload some music onto it, but one of two error messages kept coming up; one saying that the player was either busy or not connected, or one saying there was an error and to ensure that the player was properly connected. it was, as i could tell by the "docked" image on the screen of the player. i went into recovery mode and reloaded the firmware, and am now unable to get out of recovery mode. i turned the player off, then on, and nothing. i hooked the player to my computer to see if i could put music on it, and i still got the same error message. how do i get the software to recognize the player, or is it not recognizing it now because im in recovery mode? if so, how do i get OUT of recovery mode? and any idea if this all means my music library is completely gone, or will it be able to be recovered??
    ANY help at this point would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

    thanks so much for your help!
    i ran the firmware update, it got me out of recovery mode and the player itself is working normally, but when i try to add music to it from my computer, it still says "the operation failed. ensure player is properly connected before trying again." The "docked" icon is on the screen of the player, and whenever i try to add music, i can hear the hard dri've clicking away. it clicks a few times like it's trying to do something, then that message pops up on my computer screen. i went into device manager with the player hooked up and it was recognized. i disconnected the player and reconnected it so i could see that it was being recognized when i plugged it back in and it was. i then went back into the mediasource to try and add music again, and still nothing.

  • Zen Touch sync and display probl

    I left my Touch connected to my PC with WM0 running to convert and transfer tracks to the Touch. When I came back a few hours later the transfer had stopped - incomplete with and error message (didn't make a note of it ).
    Now my it is not recognised by my PC. When I plug the USB lead in it is seen and the option window comes up. I click on the sync option and WM fires up but says that it can't find a player atteached. The Touch screen shows that it is docked.
    I can't see the player as an external dri've either.
    When I play anything on the Touch I can get as far as choosing tracks but as soon as I hit the play button the screen is different from normal. Instread of showing the track details all I get is a notice to "Add music from Library"
    I have tried a reset, and rescue mode but they have not helped.
    Can anyone give me any advice?
    Zen Touch 40gb, Version 2..0
    Track count 380.
    (Showing 22gb free - but I think that's wrong)

    Got it working again.
    Did a reset and formated the dri've - lost my music though

  • Listening to Zen Touch via external devi

    Hi fellow Creative users,
    since this is my first post, please excuse if this is the wrong forum to post my question on.
    I have recently bought a Zen Touch 20G and am very happy with it. A couple of glitches here and there, nothing that resetting couldnt fix.
    So here is my question: When i try to connect my CZ to a stereo, i cant get any sound out of the speakers. The music is playing, i can see it on the screen, all cables are connected properly, the volume is set on highest - and still nothing.
    I have also tried to play it through my tv (Loewe, about 3 years old). Now this works, but the tv does not seem to recognise the player as a connected device, and since it has an auto shut-off when no broadcast function, it dutifully switches itself off every 5 min or so.
    The only solution is to play it via FM transmitter, which i understand would not deli'ver the same quality sound as a cable connection would.
    any ideas/suggestions anyone?
    thanks in advance!

    I dont know if your car has a cassette player or not, but in my car I just use a cassette adapter: just plug the jack into the player and stick the cassette in. As for connecting it to a stereo and such, I simply use an RCA jack to /4 in. jack.
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...onics&n=507846 I have found this device to be of high quality, and it has never failed me. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...03-2285-304247 and this is the cable for stereos and such. If you havent tried this already, then I hope this is helpful. Good luck..Message Edited by clousewa on 02-03-2005 05:5 AM

  • Zen Touch software iss

    I've been trying to install the driver and MediaSource for my Zen Touch onto my Dell laptop from the installation CD, but everytime I start it, it says that it has to shut down for some reason or other. I tried downloading the Creative MediaSource from your website and was able to install it, but now, when I dock my Zen, it never picks it up and allows me to transfer files, etc. What do I do?

    In short, you need to:
    <FONT face=Helv size=2>
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
    - Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
