Creative Zen
11 Answers
I have a really old Creative Labs Zen music storage/player with 1800+ tunes on it. Creative no longer provide the drivers I need to get my tunes off onto my PC in MP3 and I don't have access to a pc with the really old version of windows that synchs with the Zen. Can anybody help me get my tunes off? I'm terrified that my Zen will die one day and I will lose all my music. Thanks

I've never encountered any form of MP3 player that it isn't 'plug & play'. (i.e. no driver is actually required). They might occasionally come with software which, among other things, can be used to transfer files to and from a PC (just as digital cameras often do) but that doesn't prevent them showing up as an external drive when connected to a PC's USB port.
Have you tried simply plugging the device into an MP3 port, waiting for a while until it's detected (which can take up to a minute or two in some cases) and then exploring its contents using Windows Explorer? If you can access the files that way you can then copy-&-paste (or drag-&-drop) them into your chosen location on your PC.

You don't say which windows operating system you are using but I think that the "Windows Media Player" if installed and enabled can do what you require.

There is somebody there that states how they managed - worth a try.
