As David says, you can verify the charging status and the amount of free
space. The other thing which needs to be appreciated is that you can rip
CD's with the software which can be dumped straight onto the player by the
software, or into separate folders. There will be people on this list no
doubt who will advise using a program like CDEX, and that's fine, and in
fact that is what I do. But for someone who does not want at least two
programs to deal with and who wants something quite simple to use, then the
creative software may be an option. That is partially why I decided to
create the scripts to support the CD player, particularly the check boxes
which allow for selecting the tracks to be converted, and also to report the
charging status etc. You can get that information by using the jaws cursor,
but again we're talking about making things easier for people who haven't
got a clue what the jaws cursor is and who will never need it.
I quite like the charging status indicator, it's worth having the free
software just for that.
