A 2G card is pretty cheap, so maybe, but I only paid $80 for my 4G Zen from Amazon. Realize that the files on the card are not integrated into the music menu, they're separate, on a separate menu. Although I have not tried an SD card yet personally, I have read that you can't navigate away from that menu without stopping the music.

I hadn't heard that, but it would explain it. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of card works to expand the memory?

Remember to update your flash bios for the player. Mine is also a 16gb version and I had purchased it recently; however, there still were two versions of a newer firmware on Creative's site...so follow their directions to update that first and then try your card. I just got a 16gb card as well and it works just fine...

I thought the Transcent SD card is to transfer to your Zen and not from your Zen to the card. Am I wrong?

I bought the 2 GB Creative Zen and have yet to fill it up or even buy the SD card yet. I use mine primarily for books and generally delete a book when I finish, but often have a couple of books on it. I also have music on it as well--maybe 30 songs.There is a benefit to having a non-integrated card and that is that the contents are not all mixed in. If you want to put something new on the card, it is very easy to find.

I have a 16GB Zen and I have almost filled up the memory. I purchased a 16 GB Transcend SD card to extend it, but it doesn't recognized the additional memory. Help!

The SD card does not automatically expand the memory on the Zen. The Zen sees the SD card as a separate entity. If the Zen isn't seeing the card under the "SD Card" menu option, make sure your Zen has the latest firmware upgrade (1.21.03). There is also a nice option in the "SD Card" menu called "Import All" which adds references to the music on the SD card to your main Music menu. It's not automatic, but I feel it's pretty painless.

Am thinking about buying the Creative Zen and read where someone stated it was hard to bookmark on the SD card. Have you had problems doing this too?He said it was not good for audiobooks. I use my Creative Zen Vision W and iPod only for books and would like to purchase another.....Thanks for any info......

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

They may release a 64GB flash version of zen x-fi in the near future, but don't bet on it. I find 32gb of great value and you can use SDHC expansion, wifi streaming from wifi server or PC for unlimited usage. I don't think Creative will release any HDD player anytime in the near future. But there could be a larger screen zen x-fi wifi version, that's my bet.

I too have Windows Vista and am anxious to find out which- if any players are compatible with it. I have about decided on a Creative Zen V or plus and found one at SecureMart.com for $81.00. I hope someone can answer this for us.Ok- I kept searching and I think I will go with YES! Based on......the Vista Compatible site they listed the Creative M something or other that has 30 and 60 Gb for $299.00. I looked at the requirements and they are exactly the same as the Zen V plus. Does this make sense to anyone but me?

I have one of the first builds off the line which is the 4gB model. As I want to use it as a portable recording machine I needed more space, so I picked up an 8 gB SDHC card fo $40 Can/US. I originally used a 2 gB thumb drive, but that fills up when recording hours of audio at 44 khz/16 bit. Also, I like the card as its like a mini-hardrive - it doesn't stick out of the side like a thumb drive. Not sure how much the 8gB model is compared to the 4Gb.. but with expandable memory so cheap..

Looking to pick up the "mini" samsung but want to upgrade to more RAM. Can anyone tell me if there are 2 slots for a 1GB each or do i need to pick up one 2GB card? I thought i saw somewhere someone was saying they upgraded to 4GB which led me to believe it could take up to 2-2GB cards...but wasnt sure. Anybody know anything?

7/14/14 8:00 AM PDT: Alan, I bought 8GB microSD's. I don't know if they are made in larger capacity chips. Have you been able to get D-Link to respond? That's an important question and consideration. I'd like to know the answer if you can get one. Thanks for the good question.

SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) I am trying to help my daughter with purchase of a memory card she feels she needs for a mp3 she has purchased on Amazon from CrazyonDigital. Would a memory card be automatically included with the mp3 or does she even need one?

I have the Canon SD1100 and would like to take nice videos of my four-month-old son. I am in search of a decent memory card. They all look/sound alike to me. The 16GB card/reader combo sounds like something in which I might be interested. But I can't find the exact one to which you are referring. Can someone post a link to it? Or maybe recommend other memory cards that would be good for videos on my camera?

thanks. i download pretty frequently so 2GB is probably fine. i'm a bit of a novice, what is the fastest card? or how do i determine a "fast card"?

Folders are nice but take some time a get a 32Gb or 64 Gb card for the Zen. Then you can build folders if you want too or you can just place your music in position that you want. The Zen is a tremendous entertainment tool and will bring many hours of pleasure. Above all, do not limit yourself to possibilities. Happy Listening. Gramps.

You need to buy a card and a much bigger one if you don't want to be constantly deleting stuff. I would consider 16gb the minimum. I have a 32gb class 10 GSkill that seems really fast for video and burst modes, but the same size Patriot and Mushkin class 10 cards are much slower and make the camera seem unresponsive. I even had to RMA the PAtriot one it was so slow, but the new one is acceptable. I got the GSkill on sale for $9.99, just watch New egg, they go on sale all the time. The faster the card the better. I will try a SanDisk Extreme when the price comes down.

You can use a maximum of 32 GB of memory. They told me to buy a class 10, which has a faster write speed. Be sure the card is seated completely in the slot. I realistically don't think that any SD card would make it say no SD card unless it's more than 32 GB. Based on my experience, I don't believe your problems are going to end there. You will most likely end up returning it. If you do, remember to remove your SD card. Some people forget to do that.

I currently use a 4gb card with no problem. Though I need to carry a spare battery to get close to it's capacity (except in RAW or extreme resolution images). I have seen nothing to restrict you to 4gb.

Any SDHC 16GB card should be good. I usually get Class 10 cards (as they're usually faster than Class 4/6, but not always). As with any product, read the reviews before deciding to buy it. Note that higher-capacity cards tend to be less reliable than the low-capacity ones, so you might be better off buying two 16GB cards instead of one 32GB one. Back up your files often!

Always FORMAT new cards first in camera, I have been using the 16GB for quite sometimes now, no problem what's so ever!! Good luck!!
