Creative Labs Zen Touch MP3 Player - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The audible file is only for books bought from audible.com. The library books will go into your music folder and be found under albums or artist on Creative players.

One additional tip, you have to get the license to play the library book on your computer and then start playing it on the computer (just the first few words) before transferring the book onto your player. The book has to get the license and be started or it won't play on the player. Something that caused no end of frustration before I figured it out!

If you need to install the drivers for your Zen MP3 player you can go to http://support.creative.com/downloads/?h=7 and download what you need. The very first driver listed includes support for the Zen Touch, so all you need to do is download that driver, open it, and follow the install instructions.

by validating the license

use a program that rip DVDs and CDs, download it from www.download.com after you download rip the DVD and transfer it to your MP3. Hope this helped you

Hi, If you have a lot of Mp3 files. You can use windows media player. It will work with Zen. Just make sure you don't have any viruses on your PC or zen or it will destroy the files and do damage to internal memory. Good luck.

http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=700611 The above thread contains a successful use of Creative with Windows 7, keep reading down the page. Other suggestions have been to try Vista drivers rather than XP. And there was the inevitable suggestion to use Windows XP mode on Windows 7 (but not all versions of W7 have XP mode.)

That could be a short in your mp3. You should be a small hole somewhere on it that says reset. You would need to get a needle or something that thin and push the button inside the hole and hold it for ten seconds. That should fix your system.

put the dvd in a dvd drive and open windows media player.

you should be able to choose rip and rip it to the hardrive of your computer. when that is completed connect your zen media player to the computer via usb and choose sync. find the movie and sinc it to the devise.

Try pushing a spot just below the screen in about 1/2 of player height while using touchscreen - if it works than its about connectors that connects touchscreen to player (you can try to unglue the whole thing and try something to increase connectivity, like putting a little copper grease or give it to someone who got experience in this sort of thing)

Hi it sounds the solder connection on the board has a dry joint, or worse still, broken internals in the jack plug.
The only way to find out is open the player and take a look.

Next time you try scrolling on the touch pad, also push down (really) hard on the touch pad(kind of like you're squeezing the player). Keep doing this, and you may get it working. I've dropped mine a few times, and this push/squeeze/scroll seemed to work.

Sorry I am making a restatement...I realized my firmware was still 1.0. and tht it coudnt b upgraded to 2.x.xx till media player 10 was installed and media player 11 removed.before you do anything......back up all music on your zen touch because the upgrade to 2.0.xx deletes everything on your mp3 player and sometimes the player wont be readable after uninstalling .......then you can do an auto update: http://support.creative.com/downloads/welcome.aspx?nDriverType=1#Manualselection from the manual downloads page, I did.. and there was numerous updates tht popped up after removing windows 11 media player and the other item that was required in the instructions located here: http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=16737 .
Hope this clears the air about upgrading the firmware to 2.0 so tht windows 7 can read your zen touch, sleek or other non supported creative-Tm hardware. I havnt finished upgrading yet because I Had so much on it that its taking me over 8 hours now just to sync my music with my computer so tht I wont lose the data when upgrading to firmware 2.x.xx

jus little pics that show up on your screen or files u have on it

Hi,

If the software was released for earlier versions of Windows, then running it on newer versions can cause issues. You can try to use the Windows compability mode to fix the issue. The link below will go over the directions you need to take in order to do this.

How to run older programs

If this does not work, you may want to reach out to Creative Labs Technical support to see if they have an updated version of the software to use.

You connect the mp3 player to your computer via USB, it should show up on your computer as a connected device, from there you should be able to drag and drop music files that are on your computer on to the mp3 player.
