for audio books, can one set bookmarks in the zen mx?

The short answer is yes. I have had three of these. I loved them for audio books. The first one lasted five years, the second one three. I bought two additional as gifts over seven years ago. One is still working. The last one I bought from a third party vendor in July 2013 and by October 2013 it was dead. The problem is, it's an old model, not supported, with no access to the battery. When it dies no one take responsibility, it's past the 30 day return time. So I spent $300 for three months use. I wish Creative would go back to players with bookmarking capability.

One can do so easily. In addition, when you turn it off, it will resume where you left off.

I made one, just like a subfolder on a PC. It comes up, not by my design, under the Music category. I think Sandisk recommends use of "Podcasts" for audiobooks.

In case you are still wondering: In transitioning from the Zen to the Zen MX they removed the slider switch that used to turn on/off and lock the player. Now you press the play/pause button for several seconds to turn it off and on, and the default for the shortcut button is lock (I never used the shortcut button in the original anyway).

You can program the audio book to go forward or backward in chapter mode or you can turn that off and go forward or backward as you wish. Most books are downloaded in segments so it is easy to start any where you want. Hope this helped.

My zen mozaic works terribly for audiobooks. When I try to fast foward or rewind, even when using the "search to" utility, i get an error message and my player completely freezes.

The Audible.com website says that it is compatible with the Zen Vision. Click http://www.audible.com/dc?mt=MP3&mfid=5 and scroll down about half way and then download the software for the device. There is Help button to contact the company with further questions. Good luck to you young lady.

Yes, I bought this player to listen to audiobooks which I borrow from a couple of different public libraries. There is room for 10 bookmarks, so I can keep up with several different books or different sections of the same book.

I have not tested the Mosaic, but would trust the NetLibrary table. I did try the Zen 4GB, and it had a bookmark feature which worked well. I would assume it is the same for the Mozaic. I would add, however, that after checking out the Zen, I settled on a Sanza Fuze as being better for my needs - primarily NetLibrary - and it would seem we share that in common. Even though the Fuze does not have bookmarking, it doesn't need it. For any track in the Books folder, when you stop and then come back, you get the option to Resume where you left off, or not. You don't even have to go thru the steps of setting a Bookmark. Just my 2 cents. I have not tested the Mosaic, but would trust the NetLibrary table.

I've had the Zen Vision W for about 5 moths. Never had a problem simply dragging, dropping and playing .mp3 files. Viseo files need to be transfered using Creative Media Explorer. But the "The" will sit at the beginning of the filename, and sort with the T's.

I have never used the Audiobook. For my mp3 downloads I had to get a converter from CNET. I just looked, there are two Audio book converters based on category selection. I'm not sure this will help but I hope it does. Always scan what you download first.

I would love to be able to change pages with the volume control. What's the name of this reader?

A1) Yes. I don't know if there is a limit. A2) Currently the Zune software (3.1) doesn't support audiobooks directly. So you have to use Audible Manager to manage their files and OverDrive Media Console to do theirs. Yes, you can use the bookmark function on your Zune device. For others like audio CD audiobooks or MP3-on-CDs, in order to use the bookmark function, you need to add them as podcasts by changing the genre tag to "podcast". Or, if the files are .mp3 or DRM-free .wma, you can use OverDrive Media Console to transfer them to the "audiobooks" section on your device. (FYI: http://forums.zune.net/436444/ShowPost.aspx) A3) Zune supports .mp3, .wma and .m4a/.m4b. However, it does not support any DRM-protected files except those from the Zune Marketplace (and Audible/OverDrive). For iTunes songs, do as Andrew said. For .wma files, right-click a file in Windows Explorer and select "Properties"&gt;"Summary" tab ("Advanced" view), and you can find if it is protected or not. I believe all .mp3 files are DRM-free. I recommend you download the Zune software at Zune.net and try it before buying the device. A4) I'm not sure what you really want to know. On the device, (under its "music" section,) there are "songs", "genres", "albums", "artists", and "playlists" to view your songs.

Not sure what you mean by book marks, but since the Cowon essentially becomes a thumb drive when connected to a PC, you should be able to go through it and delete whatever you want like any external drive.

I checked out the instruction manual and there is no mention of a bookmarking feature.

The Creative Zen Vision M 60GB doesn't have a dedicated audio out jack, other than the headphone jack, but I play mine through a pair of powered computer speakers by plugging the input cable from the speakers into the headphone jack on the Zen and it sounds GREAT! No quality issues to my ears. Drag-and-drop for file transfer works well. Windows Explorer displays the contents of the Zen just like an external hard drive and it facilitates drag-and-drop file transfers in both directions. I find this method more convenient than syncing with either the Creative Media Explorer (supplied with the Zen) or Windows Media Player 11 (also supplied with the Zen) because both syncing programs seen to "take over" and automatically transfer all the media files they can find, whether I want them to or not. Maybe it is just inexperience with the syncing programs but I feel I have better control using Windows Explorer and the drag-and-drop method.
