I've just purchased one and I've discovered that it will only rip cd's to WMA. To rip to mp3 I have to purchase additional software for $9.99. Is there any way round this? I'm really pissed off as I can find no reference to this anywhere. I have no problem with my Zen Micro. Surely an MP3 Player should be able , by default, to rip to mp3 format. --------------= Posted using GrabIt =---------------- ------= Binary Usenet downloading made easy =--------- -= Get GrabIt for free from http://www.shemes.com/ =-

There are loads of MP3 rippers out there, you don't have to use Creative's. Although Creative MediaSource *should* rip to MP3, if that's what you're using? But if it doesn't, or it's other software, just use another free ripper, and copy the MP3s to the player as if it were a removable drive. -- StainlessSteelRat http://www.stainlesssteelrat.net "Generation X is dead.
