I recently acquired a Creative Zen (my first MP3) I know little or nothing about it. Can anyone advise me on where I can buy:
1. A device for playing it through my car radio. (I have seen devices that plug into the cigarette lighter and have a holder for the player)
2 A device that will play through speakers (again I have seen these in Power City at reasonable prices but they only worked with Ipods

Thanks

Could you post a link to the Zen that you have? a picture of it or something, thanks.

Thanks

I will look at the paperwork and establish what model it is and post this.

With that model you're going to be limited in accessories, for playing through the car radio you'll need to get one of the following - a 3.5mm to cassette converter, a 3.5mm to aux in (rca) or a 3.5mm FM transmitter.

For playing back through speakers, like the car radio, you will only be able to play music through the headphone jack.

Works with any device that has a 3.5mm jack (i.e. every MP3 player). You can get them in Currys etc. (for about €20 more expensive)

Do you mean some kind of docking station? No idea about that. I just use standard speakers. They don't have to be made for your particular device.
