How to download music to a creative zen player i just do not know where to start. we got a creative zen mp3 player( new) as a gift abou 3 years ago. we have the actual player, what i believe you call the usb cable the little cd and the ear buds. i have some music on my windows xp media player. i plugged the cable from the player to the back of my laptop into the plug (one of two on my computer) with the corresponding little sign on it.(three curvey lines with an arrow not the one with the + sign).i really don't know what to do next or if that is even right so far. i wonder if i am missing another cable as there is another port on the actual player that says line in but has what i think is a microphone picture next to it. can anyone help me. thanks

DUDE.................

U Have plugged in the cable in the right spot ok.....the slot where u plugged in the cable in ur laptop is the USB slot. (Line in is for audio ....don't bother with it.........)

now when u connect ur laptop and ur player like u did, a small icon should appear on ur notification bar(

the notification bar is on the extreme right side of the taskbar where ur system displays the time.)

If u are using Win 98 or older then u will have 2 install the drivers that came with the player in a cd.

if ur running Windows 2000, XP, Vista, NT then a window should pop-up installing the drivers automatically( u don't need drivers for any version of windows after 98.)

Then once this window closes go to my comuter and u should see an extra drive in there.(for eg. if u have say 4 drives like C:\, D;\, E:\ and F:\ and ur CD drive is G:\ then the player drive will be H:\)

all u have 2 do is copy the music files from ur PC and aste it inside this drive. thats it :-))

Now close my computer. left click on the icon in ur notification area.(i.e the icon that appeared when u connected the player) and in the pop-up menu select safely remove device.

Now remove the cable from ur laptop and enjoy.



if u have not understood any points above or need further clarification then please feel free 2 say so.

Good Luck,
