Listening to Recorded Books

by medicinman - 7/24/06 5:35 PM

I got a great deal on a Creative Zen MicroPhoto 8 GB MP3 player today - $59.

What I want it for is two things:

1. Listening to recorded music.

2. Listening to recorded books.


The music part is not problem. I've figured out how to move music from my PC to the player and play the music.

But I'm having trouble with recorded books. I put them (from CDs) on to my PC and then I want to put them on the player and listen.

But it doesn't seem to work.

The files are Windows Media Audio files (.wma) so I thought they should work.

Any help out there? Should I take it back and get the Creative Zen V Plus?

Help!

Sounds like a bad deal...

The Creative Zen MicroPhoto 8 GB MP3 Player is listed at $250...a$59 sounds like a great deal, but too good to be true. At that price I'd suspect it was either hot or damaged...what was the source?

The first thing I'd do is re-rip the music from CD, this time using MP3 instead of WMA, just in case that's the issue. (It shouldn't be since it is designed to play WMA and WMA w/ DRM, but it can't hurt.) If it still won't play, and the audio books can be played from the ripped files on your computer, then I'd go for the refund o a possibly defective player.
