thank you. I'll try it... but it gets it for like 5 seconds with it plugged in 
and then it goes away... I dunno if I'd have enough time that it says it's 
plugged in to troubleshoot it.

  It sounds like you may have at one time unplugged it too soon or something.  
What you might try, with the thing plugged in, would be to go to Control Panel 
> System > Hardware > Device Manager.  If you're not familiar with this, here 
is where you get a tree view with all the different devices hooked onto your 
system.  If you go down to disk drives, you should see the MP3 player listed as 
one of the drives, and you might be able to troubleshoot it from there.

    well I'd be grateful if the thing'd just work with my computer... it did 
for a while but when I plug it in now, it makes the hardware insertion 
notification, then a few seconds later it makes the hardware deactivation sound 
and I'd not even unplugged it.
    any ideas? thanks. I'm using windows xp home.

      The Zen menu provide no audio to navigate folders, that is my problem 
with all these players.  I like the FM option but I had no luck trying to set 
the tuner so I can switch between the radio and MP3 files. 

      Sometimes I counted the times I had to press the button, but often it 
would loose the setting and take me to other folders. 

       

      I got rid of mine for a shuffle in the mean time. 

       

      I don't think you can deactivate the other folders, but that would be a 
solution if you could.  

       

      Otherwise, it is pretty easy to operate.

      Hi everyone,

       

      I just joined this list a couple of days ago because I'm now finally 
trying to enter the world of MP3 players.  I purchased the Creative Zen Nano 
Plus player because I was looking for something that could not only play MP3 
files but had the FM tuner as well.  I'll be working with it more this weekend, 
and I do have sighted help to get it going, but I was wondering if anyone else 
has had experiences with the MP3 Player/FM Tuner combo.  Reading over the 
documentation is getting me concerned that as a totally blind user I may have 
bitten off more than I can handle because of the menus, but before I return the 
unit I thought I'd check with the list.

       

      Thanks, and hope this hasn't been asked too many times before (grin).
