[QUOTE="jcrook, post: 398193, member: 31424"] Ahh, sorry, I've only been on these forums a couple of days! :Blushing: Yeah, you can use plain old Explorer (and presumably the Mac file explorer), but also you get a CD with the Zen mP3 player which has various utilities on it; one is Creative Media Explorer (or something, I can't even check the name since my laptop's dead), which is basically Explorer with a slightly different look (but still, by all means, Explorer underneath) which is one thing they supply you to use for it. There is also a program to sync your music with your Creative (which I don't use; I prefer to have more control over what media is where) - which makes the sync feature in WMP redundant. However, the Zen is obviously for all intents and purposes an external HDD when one uses it in Explorer, and so obviously copying lots of files to the Zen is going to take some time, but I barely find Explorer slower than when I tried using WMP with the Zen. The Zen and Napster (and Explorer when I only have a few files to copy over) have been a perfect combination though. Hmm, luckily at the moment I'm in a job where I don't have to use my own personal laptop at work or work outside of my workplace so I might be able to avoid sending any £s Microsoft's way for a while... :D [/QUOTE]
