Will my Creative Zen work with a Mac?

November 27, 2005 11:53 AM

Can I use a Creative Zen Micro 5gb with Mac OSX?

I have tried googling but being new to Mac-dom have had no luck. Any suggestions of where to look are most welcome.

Based on the requirements, it looks like it isn't compatible. Whether someone has hacked it to work is a different question.

Best answer: After further research, you might take a look at XNJB.

Don't those players work by just mounting as a USB drive to which you can drag and drop the files? In which case you might not have features like playlists, but you could certainly use it.

I have a Zen Touch 40G, A Toshiba Laptop and an iBook. I use XNJB on the iBook and the Creative software on the Toshiba.

Works like a charm.

AmmbroseChapel: Unfortunately, no.
