Zen Xtra compatible with Zen V Pl

Hi, I own a 60GB zen xtra, which is great for hauling around my giant music library, and a zen v plus for obvious reasons. It seems I can get my computer to recognize one or the other, but not both devices. at work the zen v plus works, but the xtra is not recognized. the opposite is the case at home. Any ideas or suggestions? I do not need to have both devices attached at the same time... tx,?Phil

well, I stumbled onto a workaround of sorts until something better comes along. I cannot install the zen v plus software on my older desktop. installshield crashes with several strange errors. I can get realplayer to recognize it, even though it won't do so on my new desktop. for the time being, I can set up a library on an external usb dri've and switch between the desktop computers, so at least I can transfer files to the zen v plus. a better solution is certainly welcome. I'd like to sort out why my laptop doesn't work with my zen xtra, but that is way less important right now. Phil Obley

  • Zen Xtra: Compatible FM Tu

    Hey,
    I've just bought myself a Zen Xtra 60GB and was pretty dissapointed to find out that the wired remote and FM Tuner is not compatible with my player (especially considering the sales person had said it was). From other posts in the forum, it doesn't sound as though Creative make an FM Tuner that is compatible with the Zen Xtra, so what I'm wondering, is if there are other FM Tuners out there that will work with the Zen Xtra? I'm new to the forum, so dont know if it's ok to post this kind of info here.
    Also, seeing as there is a 'car' profile on the Zen Xtra, I assume you can use a car kit tape to play it through your car stereo. I'm also new to mp3 players and stuff, so can anyone tell me if any car kit can be used, or is it make specific?
    Thanks!

    No compatible FM tuner that I'm aware of. You can find the car kit at their online store.

  • Creative ZEN 4gb compatible with Creative MediaSource

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if I can use my new Creative Zen 4gb with Creative MediaSource. I really like MediaSource and I would prefer to use it the only problems is when ever I connect it its keep locking up and crashing especially when I go to creative playlists. I used to use mediasource for my Zen Micro. Any suggestion? or does creative no longer support MediaSource with there new players?Thanks!

  • Creative Zen-is it compatible with the Griffin Player pa

    Looking for info on accessories. I was at Circuit City, and they have a Griffin Player Pack, which includes an fm transmitter with charging capablities, and a house charger (it also has a california roll for storing, and an audio in cord). It doesn't say specifically if this is compatible with the Creative Zen, and the guy behind the counter had never even seen the Zen before. Has anyone tried these? Also, is there a difference in fm transmitters? Are the more expensi've ones any better than the cheap ones? Thanks for any help!

    Is your source very large in the number of files to transfer
    - It's just mp3 files (about 200 CD's ripped to mp3 files)For small sources (music) you can manually build and drag your MP3 files to your manually built folders.
    - Do you mean it's possible to create folders on the Creative ZEN itself Is your source in MP3 format NON DRM protected music - I do not know what "NON DRM protected music" means Do you have a link to download the manual for the Creative ZEN Message Edited by larshgf on 04-5-2008 02:24 PM

  • Is the Zen Touch 2 compatible with micro SDHC?

    Hi,
    The specifications page on the creative website showed that the Zen Touch 2 was compatible with micro SD cards, but now I'm wondering if it's compatible with the micro SDHC?
    In advance thanks,
    TheKingpin?

    Hi.
    I know this was posted some time ago... But I thought I would add the page where Creative tells us which micro sdhc cards (and card class) they would like us to use:

  • Is Belkin TuneDok Zen Touch compatible with MICRO Z

    TUNEDOK ZEN TOUCH
    Is compatible with MICRO ZEN?
    Any product similiar compatible with Micro Zen?
    (((thnxs, sorry by my english, i'm spanish)))

    I'm guessing the size of the player is pretty critical, hence it's not suitable. I'm not aware of anything similar for the Micro, but I guess it's possible there is something.

  • Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 editi

    Hello, I recently bought a Zune and then found out it wasn't compatible with my OS, XP Pro x64. I installed the software on my laptop, but it was just too troublesome to set everything up and exchange music, videos, etc. between the two machines. So I've decided to return the Zune and get a Zen instead. I'd really like to buy the ZEN 8GB, but it does not state whether or not the x64 edition is supported. The ZEN V Plus states that the software does support the OS, so if I have to get that one, I don't mind. Thanks.

    CRe: Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 edition?H I recently bought a Zen 8GB mp3 player. I have an xp x64 pro OS. As soon as I tried to instal the included software from the CD, a dialogue box appeared stating, "The windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product." I have done everything the technical assistance group has suggested with the samed result including a clean install. I did load it on my 32 bit laptop. It works fine. ONe of the problems I have found is that the correspondance goes to a different person each time and they are not reading the dialogue. I have found a way to make it work (well somewhat) with my 64 bitg machine. Oddly enough thed software for my zen V load on fine but the software is incampatable with the Zen 8GB unit. I think that there are softwarfe problems and CT is not really dealing with them.

  • Muvo Slim external charger compatible with Zen Nee

    Hello.
    I'm new here. I have a Muvo Slim and I bought the optional USB charger for the player so that I could charge the player without using my computer. I just need to plug the player using the charger to the power supply while the player is charging.
    Now the problem is, I just got myself a Zen Neeon last month and I'm wondering whether the Muvo Slim's external charger is compatible with my Neeon? I noticed that both players are using the same USB port and I even charge them through my computer using the same cable. It would be very good if I could use the Muvo Slim's charger for my Neeon because it will save a few hours of electricity leaving the computer turned on everyday. Anyone can help? Many thanks.
    Cheers.
    -Rizal-

    I've heard the Slim charger works with the Micro, and the Micro charger works with the Neeon. So by deduction it should work. If you want an official answer though you'll have to ask Creative Support.

  • Creative Zen 16gig not compatible with Napster To

    The product page clearly states this product is compatible with Napster To Go but when I open Napster and try to drag a song to the lower right hand corner it says my device is not compatible and needs a firmware upgrade. I JUST upgraded the firmware like 20min ago and my account is to-go activated. Is this false adertising or am I doing something wrong?

    The software that came on the original CD is not supported on vista.
    The Zen Micro will work nati'vely with Vista if it contains the latest firmware version. If the Zen Micro isn't being recognized by Vista then you will need to use an older system (windows xp) to upgrade the firmware on the Zen Micro. Once Vista recognizes the Zen Micro you should be able to download Vista compatable versions of the software for the device from the creative website.

  • Zen Sleek Photo - Compatible with iPod accessories

    I can't seem to find the accessories for my Zen Sleek Photo that I've had for a couple of years. I didn't jump on the iPod band wagon because I didn't care for iTunes. My main question is that are the iPod accessories compatible with my Zen Sleek Photo I'm looking for a docking system with speakers for my Zen Sleek Photo.

    justaguy,
    The Zen Sleek Photo does NOT have a USB port but has a slot that is similar to what Apple iPod(s) use (40 GB - 80 GB iPods - not Nano & other Apple mp3 players.
    when I wrote USB port, I meant that whole long slot as that's the USB portion you connect to your computer..... I thought you be clever enough to understand...hmm...nvm....Message Edited by justaguy on 2-03-200703:37 AM

  • Is .aa compatible with Zen Sle

    I'd like to start buying audio books online, but I don't know if the .aa Audible format is compatible with my Sleek. Has anyone played .aa files on their Sleek before?
    I'm not going to buy an Audible book until I know that it'll work.
    Thanks!Message Edited by zenny53 on 09-23-2005 :09 AM

    The latest PlaysForSure firmware for the Zen Sleek (2.0.03), enables Audible audio playback.

  • Zen Micro is compatible with Audible.co

    Creative Labs Direct Sales responded to my question with this quote "Yes, the Zen Micro is compatible with Audible.com. Any format used at Audible.com should work just fine with the Zen Micro."
    Everytime I try to transfer Audible content to the Zen Micro I receive an error message. Is there software that needs to be downloaded? Is the transfer process different?
    -Rukauf

    It's not... there are a few other threads here containing workarounds (sorry I don't know how to post the link to them here) that involve either ) burning the Audible.com files to CDs and then ripping the CDs or 2) converting the Audible.com files to wav files using a program called Microsoft Graph Edit, and then converting them to mp3 or wma.
    You aren't the first who states they have received incorrect information on this subject. Further, I contacted Audible about their future plans to support the Zen Micro. They responded that they currently have no plans to support it (as of late January)
    I am a huge fan of this player, but if you want to be assured of seamless Audible.com supprt, you should probably consider a different player until a clear direction is determined.
    Good luck,

  • Zen Plus not compatible with Creative Media Explore

    I have had my Zen Plus for almost a year. Use it primarily to listen to audio books and I love it, but there is one thing that drove me crazy when I first got it, and it still does it, but I have gotten used to it. (I have Windows XP)
    When I connect my device via the USB plug, I get a Windows?pop up that says "Portable Device" in the title bar. It then tells me that Windows can perform the same action each time I connect this device. There are several actions to select from:?
    . Open device to view files (using Windows Explorer)
    . Sync digital media files to this device (using Windows Media Player)
    . Manage the device (using Real Player)
    . Organize Media files in this device (using Creative Media Explorer)
    . Add music to the device (using Yahoo Music Jukebox)
    . Manage the device (using Rhapsody)
    . TAKE NO ACTION
    Then there is a checkbox below that says "Always take the selected action."
    Then you can click "OK" or "Cancel"
    If I perform the obvious action (the Creative Media Explorer), I get an error message that says:
    "This device is not compatible with Creative Media Explorer. This application will now end".
    If I then go to my Start>Programs menu, and open up the Creative Media Source 5 Organizer, my device shows up in the program and I can use it with no problem. It also works if I have the Creative Media Source 5 organizer open before I?connect
    In my Zen.
    Don't know why it does this, or how to stop it but, as I stated previously - it is not a problem for me now that I know how to get around it, but it has probably caused a few new users to return their device because they? thought they could not get it to work.

    here try this, works for melink

  • Creative Zen Micro Not compatible with Windows Vi

    My daughter has a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player, no video feature, just the the music player. She recently got a new computer that runs Windows Vista. She tried to install the program on her new computer, and it said the software was not compatible with Windows Vista. Does that mean I need to get new software from Creative Zen? to use the program on The computer running?Windows Vista? Any help would be appreciated..
