Hey guys, i have a creative zen M vision and i cannot find the cd that lets me put music and shit on it. i can only charge it now but i cant change songs/rip songs onto my comp from it

is there anyway to get a hold of this software without torrents or do i have to purchase it ?

i know torrents are bad so does anybody know any locations to dl the software so i can block it/never go there? :D I went to demonoid and noticed there was only 1 seed for it, right before i blocked that evil torrent site.

thank you

You could always install RockBox on it and then everything would be drag and drop in window's explorer.

Well, you'd have to check if there's a Rockbox for it, but Creative is pretty popular. Just google.

can't you just install the drivers from Creative's website? Then it should simply show up in your My Computer and you can drag and drop files to and from it like an external drive. At least that's how it was for my old Creative Zen Touch on Windows XP. Of course if you were running Windows Vista or 7 you wouldn't be having these problems (where it would be simply plug and play).

* not every mp3 player works like Apple iPods

hmm yeah just looking through Creative's website, they have stuff that works for Vista and not XP, and upgrades to Media Explorer, but not Media Explorer itself (which explains your problems). You could probably take it to Creative support or their forums.

You can try downloading the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer in the meantime to see if that works.
