Creative ZEN MX FM MP3 / Video Player 16GB (FM radio, SD Slot) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Got the Zen MX today. I've never had a Zen product, so I can not compare. I have not seen before videos or photos in order, so I go to these things here is not one.

Short for Player. For 60 euros I believe there is nothing like it. Chic thing (reminiscent of a digital camera), clearly arranged keys, good menu, good display and 16GB memory. Top! Could not be better for the price.

Now the software. I have previously read all the reviews. Above all, it woke me up, that he rips one albums and audio books apart if you have any what gerippet wrong. I want to use this player, especially for audio books and music ;-)

Could not imagine that there will be a problem to me. Written here that you can fill the player by drag and drop. This is also true, however, then you need not be surprised if the arrangement afterwards is wrong in the player itself. With the accompanying software is no problem. Granted it is a little uncomfortable but with a little patience and a little "know how" they will pretty quickly clear.

Here is the advice for people who rant on this software:

1. Rip your CD with the included software! Then you have the arrangement no more problems.

2. If your existing MP3's using you have a note ...

The player does not support umlauts! All Ü, Ä, Ö, etc. can you forget. That is also the reason why he rips all the audio books and albums and arranges them meaningless. Remedy "correct unreadable tag properties" option. These can take advantage of her follows. Starts the supplied software. Maneuvered (in the software's own Explorer) to the folder from which ye play mp3's on the player. Click on the folder. Now you appear like any normal player all music pieces.

1. Selects all
2. Right-click
"Correct unreadable tag properties" 3. Select. Confirm selection finished. (Whether it is an optional backup creates your decision) Now all umlauts by, readable for the software, replacing characters.
4. At the top of "transmission" and click the folder is transferred.
5. The transferred songs are now placed in the player in the correct track order.

This is especially important for audio books!

Such a fact is still to be observed. This is a MP3 player! No CD player! This means there is no "Folder Play". This in turn means that if your ripped your audiobooks in subfolders have eg CD1 CD2 CD3 etc. that can also be nothing. In each folder, the title of NEW 1 are ordered to x. This allows the player to start anything and assigns you all titles at once. Thus, so all the tracks 1 are ordered to each other followed by all Title 2, Title 3 and so on. For audiobooks naturally stupid.

Since only help 2 tehre.

1. The audio book as ribs that any subfolder created. So when ripping sure succession that you rip the CD's in the same folder and thus no title number repetitions occur. So all the tracks are numbered from 1 to 100, for example. I'll explain here but not.

2. Create Playlists

It's very simple with the supplied software to.

At first open the MP3 folder with the software browser. Now the tracks are displayed in alphabetical order. The arrangement will change her by clicking the box above the track numbers (the unlabeled box between "title" and "duration". Pressing long as it to the title in the correct sequence (1,2,3,4 etc.). Now all Select Mark Title and above click "New", "New Playlist" playlist name (eg CD1) done. The playlist will appear in the browser software under "Playlists". Click the playlist and click "Transfer". Now, the transfer list and the title to the player.

The Player can be found then the "playlist" under music / playlists. Plays from simple and you hear your audio book in the correct order. If you created play lists you can also leave the umlauts in the titles. That disrupts the player no longer.

Conclusion: Everything is possible. The player is suitable for audio books you have to use the software properly.

Good player for less money. Super price / performance. The software is used to I admit. The problem we have with many other players, however, also.

Hope I could help.
