ZEN X-Fi2 Record FM Radio?

Can anyone advise me as to whether the Zen X-Fi2 can record from FM radio as does the Zen Vision:M?

Thanks for the reply; I couldn't find the answer on any Creative site & they haven't bothered to reply to my emailed question; unfortunately it is a deal breaker as I must record FM.
Can anyone suggest a good alternati've device?

  • Zen X-Fi2 - Choppys/skipping video playback

    + Just wondering if anyone else has this issue?
    I'll get choppy or out of sync sound with avi/divx etc (whatever format tv shows are recorded in).
    I have only just upgraded the latest firmware and?haven't tried playing any videos again - although the firmware doesn't mention any video fixes....
    Its strange - my (slowly dying) Zen Vision: M plays things perfectly but the X-Fi2 just doesn't cope.

    /Re: Zen X-Fi2 - Choppys/skipping video playback< Hi,
    I was wondering, is the video playback also choppy? Because the X-Fi2 does have some limitations concerning the resolution and the bitrate of the video part of the file. If they are too high it will get choppy or doesn't play at all.
    If it is just the sound that is choppy, I would have a look at the audio format. I read (www.formatoz.com) with these settings:?
    video: AVI, mpeg-4 (Xvid) , resolution: 640x480 (or lower), bitrate:?768.
    audio: mp3, bitrate doesn't really matter.
    About the difference with your Vision: M , I also noticed that my old Zen Vision was a little less picky about the formats in the video... maybe that one had a stronger processor?

  • ZEN MICRO FM Record

    I am trying to find out about the capabilities of the Zen Micro FM recording capabilities. Reading the product specs I see that FM is recorded in IMA ADPCM 22KHz format, and thats all they say. Can it be converted to MP3 or .WAV files? Can it be uploaded to my computer? Can it be ripped to CDs? What's the playback quality? The reason I want to know is that every year I go to a four day music festival that sets up a low power pirate radio station and broadcasts all of the performances. It's pretty common to record the broadcasts, and I have tapes that go back quite a few years, but I've been looking for a digital FM recorder (that I can afford) for several years now. This sounds like it MIGHT do what I want to do but the company propaganda and product specs don't address my particular requirements. Anybody know?
    Thanks in advance,
    Don

    Jeremy - thank you for your reply! Lets see if I understand this correctly. The Zen Micro stores FM recordings in .WAV files, which of course I would be able to upload to my machine to slice and dice into individual tracks and rip onto CD's. My goal is to maintain the highest audio quality possible, which makes me leery of MP3s. This will be played back at home on a standard CD player at 400 wpc, and I don't wanna blow my speakers...

  • Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!

    0Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!?I recently purchased a Zen X-Fi2 64gb. I'd been waiting for a player of this size for a few years now but Creative was behind the power curve so I temporarily switched to an Archos 80gb. After the Archos began to annoy me I ended up just going with the Zen 32gb flash based player. It works/ed great. This new Zen X-Fi2 however is unbearably slow! I don't mind quite sometime to rebuild the library once the initial sync is done but when it takes 5 minutes to load a playlist (3000+ songs) then I get upset. It takes so long to load said playlist that the player shuts off before it has time to load all the songs. I can't even just click play right away like I could on the Zen. The only way I've been able to get around it is to tap the screen twice. Once to load the playlist (which takes forever if it's more than 00 songs) and again to play once the lengthy loading process is over with. However even then it doesn't load all the songs. I've been communicating with tech support about this with no resolution in sight. All they keep telling me is how 'normal' it is for a player to load a large number of songs. My Zen which is an MTP player syncs and plays music much faster! Is there anyway to possibly upgrade this to an MTP player?

    Hi Vokivolli,
    Almost 2 months on from your original post I see that you have received no reply from an administrator. Are these problems still persisting with your player? I have an X-Fi Style too and am experiencing the same problems. Like you I was hoping that firmware updates would address the problem. I don't think that the Style is a priority for Creative and unfortunately I don't see them bothering to solve these issues. Hope I'm wrong cos otherwise I love the X-Fi Style.

  • SE54 - Recording Routine Radio Button - Transport Question

    Greetings!
    We have an issue in our development system where in T-Code SE54 the Recording Routine radio button selection was changed for a particular table so it's affecting one of our custom transactions.
    We are looking to change the setting but there is some uncertainty around if anything else needs to be done. Is it just a change of the radio button setting and then transporting to our QA environment or would there be any additional steps involved (activation, etc)?
    I appreciate it!

  • Help! can not open zen x-fi2 user guide

    it seems that microsoft xp sp2 has a security issue that keeps me from opening the user's guide. i have searched the internet but all of the solutions have a method that involves going into the registry and i am not techie enough to trust my self doing that. one suggestion was try saving it to my computer and right clicking the file and click on proprieties and the clicking on the unblock button, of course don't you know that the unblock button was not available either. i have been working on this for several hours on my own and now i give up. would someone please e-mail a copy of the open? zen x-fi2 user guide if this is possible.
    many thanks in advance for your help.

    You are trying to open the wrong thing. If you want to open the User Guide do not choose the Help file. Just open the User Guide. Was this User Guide a part of when you installed the software.
    If so then you can open it thru by going to Start>All Programs>Creative>X-Fi2>User Guide.

  • Zen Micro voice recording probl

    I borrowed my roommate's Zen Micro to record some li've voice tracks. I recorded fine, and I am able to listen to them on headphones with the Micro.
    The problem I am having is getting these tracks to a place on the computer where I can can make the tracks into a disc. I downloaded the software for the player from the disc that my roommate has twice now, with the same results. The Zen Micro media explorer does not recognize the player when it is plugged in, and neither does the Creative Media Source software. Windows Media Player (verion ) does recognize it, and I can download the tracks, but when I try to play them back, it just scrolls through each one and will not actually play them.
    So, I have tried dowloading the software, removing it and downloading it again. I tried the old version of Media Player, with the result being that I could not view the player at all, so reinstalled version . I am running XP with SP2.
    Any and all suggestions would be appreciated, as these recordings are for a gift!

    Yes, you can put the recordings onto your computer in WMA format. The sound quality is great for what I use it for.

  • App for recording internet radio stations?

    Hi, have looked in the app store for an app that will enable me to record internet radio stations that I am listening to.
    I have seen there are plenty of recorders that will record voice etc through the iphone mic but I really want to record what I am hearing such as internet radio.
    Will any of the current apps do this? If so which ones & which are stable etc?
    Many Thanks!

    there is no way you could have an app that plays internet radio and have an app that records the internet radio...i dont know if an app exists but even if it did, you couldnt run 2 apps at the same time, so obviously you cant record

  • Recording internet radio streams...

    Does anyone know of an effective means of recording internet radio streams as .mp3 or .ogg files? I did a LITTLE bit of searching and only found stuff for windows.

    If I remember well, I managed to record video brodcasts from the Internet using mplayer. It is full of options and it might be a place to start. The thing is that the video I've recorded was of fixed length and I believe you want to capture live radio.

  • How to transfer podcast to my Zen X-Fi2 using Zencast Organizer?

    @Hi all,
    I was wondering if there is anyway to transfer podcasts to my Zen X-fi2 using Zencast? Every time I try to transfer files I receive an error message stating to connect my player. The problem is that my player is already connected. How can I correct this problem?

    Go to the website where the file you want is, and right click on the link for the file. Click on the save target as option, and choose a name for the file and where you want it to go on your hard dri've. Later connect the player to the computer and use Windows Explorer(right click on the start button then click on explore) to drag and drop the file to the player.
