Help with my ZEN please!


Question Posted Tuesday January 20 2009, 7:37 pm

Okay, so, i got a zen for Christmas and i love it(for the most part). the only problem is that i don't know how to put music on it. i have itunes and all of my music is on there, and it didn't come with a manual by the way. So can someone tell me how to get music on my zen without having to buy all of the songs over or have to import the CD again (cuz that will take forever).

Music bought from iTunes music has DRM which prevents the Zen from playing it. You'll need to buy the Plus version (which doesn't have DRM) or burn/rip it to a CD to play it.

Plus music and music that you didn't buy on iTunes can be transferred to the Zen in this way:
-Connect the Zen to your computer using a USB cable.
-A new drive will appear in "My Computer".
-Move Music to that drive. You might have to move it to a specific folder in the drive for it to work.
-Done

By default iTunes stores all of your music in "My MusiciTunes". This is the absolute location in Vista:
C:usersyoumusicitunes
And in XP:
C:documents and settingsyouMy Musicitunes

If plugging in the Zen doesn't make a new drive appear in "My computer", install the Media Explorer Software Pack here:

If iTunes Plus files don't play on the Zen, convert the files to MP3 or upgrade your Zen's firmware at the Creative site above. How to convert to MP3:
