CREATIVE Zen Vision:M 30 GB black - feedback?

Nalz

I bought my Zen Vision M 30gb last May and its never let me down. I play it every night and on bus to/fro work. Class machine. I will inform ya of 2 things though:

However, there is one minor minor problem with mine. Its almost full to the brim (28gigs or so of music). If you select "view all tracks" on the player, it pauses for a long time then reverts back to the previous screen you were viewing. So, technically you dont get to see the "view all tracks" screen at all. I think the reason for this is if you leave the player idle it will revert to the previous screen (or if a song is playing it will go back to that song). A very small problem, but one none the less.

Secondly, if you are buying a charger for it - make sure you get it from Xtra Vision and not HMV, Golden Discs or Virgin. Its only 30quid in XV, as apposed to €40,€45 and €50 in other shops.

The Zen is well worth the money, as apposed to any form of iPods..Everyone of my mates that have one have had them brought back or fúcked on the ground with temper!

I've just ordered one of these :

Mains Charger

It cost about €16 all told, am I being ripped off

Oh, and just about the replacement I got, working like a dream and I love it.

No thats decent I think, I paid €30 for a travel pack with various plugs and a lead for speakers. I think 16 is about right, well done

I've read all sorts of comments in various forums and can't get a straight answer anywhere.

Can somebody tell me if it's possible to record radio on the Zen Vision M?

Thanks.

Yes it is. There was a firmware update that removed this functionality from ZV:M but its been updated - see the downloads section on www.europe.creative.com

OK, thanks.

My mate bought one of the Travel Adapters aswell, cost him €35, he nearly got sick when I showed him my order form for the charger from ebay.

The one I just bought has this functionality for sure.

Excellent.

There'll be a Vision M in my Christmas stocking and although I'm not a big radio listener 2fm are airing some great gigs from 2006 over Christmas. Hopefully I'll have mastered the devise on time...

Here's the story

I eventually bought the creative vision m, seeing as their is so much positive press for this item

Can you use a psp charger that carries a 5volt charge, the same one you would find for the vision m, to power the vision m. I don't see a reason for no doing this.

Creative changed their RRP to €289.99 so the majority of shops will be charging this. Though in saying that you will always find places that will either be cheaper or more than likely trying to make a few quid by upping the price.

I brought up this point, and have discovered that when using the psp charger, the same voltage as the creative zen vision m, I can now charge my device from a wall.
