yes, I'm sure it does, on the driver disc you get with all their products. It can also be downloaded from the website.

No it comes with new software called Creative Centrale (yup, with an e) It's not as good as the old version, one thing in particular is it only encodes video as .CMV files and the player only plays those.

Creative Centrale is much maligned in older posts. Has Creative done anything to improve its function lately?

Does anybody know if SXT will work with Creative Zen Vision:M player? I'm looking for a good speaker for my Vision which should also charge it.

Tried it with my 16 GB version and it doesn't show up. Im unsure why. I checked that it wasn't the card by using a microSD to SD adapter and it gets read by both windows and mac so it is not the card. Real shame since I like the low profile this adapter has. I don't know if anyone else has had any luck with it?

The answer is no but I bought the USB adapter Medialink for $19.99 at amazon.com and it worked fine. So far everything working great and not issues. Also Medialink maker has excellent support. Good luck and enjoy it

Wow, I just bought the 16GB Zen MX from Costco and if it does not have the FM radio, it is definitely going back. I saw the posts saying there was no radio so I went to the Zen website and it does say that this model comes with the FM radio so I guess my battle will be with Costco too. I had received the 8GB for a birthday present last weekend then saw the 16GB for practically the same price, now I know why..... I'll be returning both on principle alone.Thanks for the info.

By lack of moving parts, he means the hard disk drive (HDD) that's used by most 60GB portable media players. A HDD consumes more room, eats more power, and- in my opinion- is far less reliable than flash memory. Without a drive eating power to spin and read a disc, you get far more battery time, and a thinner player profile for travel.The nice thing about the Zen is the SD slot, though; for about $130, you can get a 32GB SDHC card and it should work in the slot, effectively making this a 64GB flash player.

Yeah. That is all it came with. I was unable to get mine to work, due to software compatibility issues. Note that their customer support was basically Nonexistant. However, that may have changed since I sent mine back a few years ago. Definitely check with others for their experience.-Nate Hall

Yes there is a multimedia slot, you might not be able to see it from the pictures but it is located in front of the keyboard next to the track pad.

The only difference is that the original Zen is compatible with more formats (MPEG4-SP3, DiVX3/4/5, GIF and WAV) while the MX supports MP3, WMA, Audible 4 audio formats, JPEG and CMV(creative video format).

Dear Thelma, I must confess, my new Creative Zen is still in the box. My old Creative Zen was great for audio books and that is what I used it for. Great audio, great bookmarking. After 5 years it no longer was recognized by my computer so I purchased the new one, but haven't set it up yet. I borrow my books from the library, online. Ours has a great selection of e-audio books, so you don't have to pay to listen. Hope this helps.

No, the organizer is sold separately. But it does come with the organizer in the main section.

It is supposed to come with it but in my case did not. It also did not come wuith the optical drive I ordered to be installed. Also 2 of the USB ports were inoperative.My suggestion is do NOT by this computer, it is junk.

i had the 4gb zen and i loved it so much, i sold it to get a bigger capcity. this is a very cool player and for the price, you cant go wrong. as far as the sd card goes, it is kept seperate from the internal library, which is good and bad. i personally like them to be intergrated, but sounds like you want to keep them separate, which is good for you. its like having two separate libraries! for example, i put over 800 songs on the Zen and i had a 2gb sd card ( only $15 on amazon) which i was able to put almost 200 songs and around 8 tv shows. so if i wanted to watch an episode of say, House, i select sd card on the menu and voila! now all the content i stored on my sd card appears. but if your playing music from the internal library and select "sd card" the music will stop and now your in the sd card library. pretty easy and straight foward player. i havent used the Unbox service, i just used Slysoft software called Clone Dvd Mobile to convert my own dvds to generic avi? i forget, but you have to select 320x240 res. or it wont work. that is the max resolution the zen can take. but its very sharp and clear and everything worked fine for me on the zen. but i can imagine if you press too many buttons at once, it could result in the player freezing up and i have done it before. not on this Zen, but on my old ZVM and ZV. so i learned to just be patient when dealing with any pmp or dap. hope this answers your question. ps: you might want to contact Amazon about the Unbox service and the ZEN. i read it was compatible.

I went to the Creative Zen website about this. I have not received my 8G Zen yet but have always owned Zens and I like them and the software that comes with them. Their website has some solutions to this issue so you might want to check out that discussion board. Hope that helps.

I agree with Jorge.I have an old zen and I just got the MX.I will never buy another Zen until they show they care about their customers.I am looking for a mew Mp3 player as I speak.

Thanks for your response, but I do not understand what MSC or MTP modes are or how to access them. :( Do I open windows media player and then plug in my sansa? Is there a step by step instruction anywhere for people who are totally computer and mp3 illiterate?
