Ripping Music
When you rip music, you convert music tracks (often from CDs) into a format suitable for playback on your
computer. You can rip music easily with applications like Creative Centrale or Windows Media
®
Player.
1. Make sure the audio CD you want to rip from is placed inside your CD drive.
2. Start Creative Centrale on your computer.
3. In Creative Centrale, click the Rip button. Follow the instructions on the screen.
For more information, click the Help button.
Notes
When ripping tracks, make sure that they are tagged properly. See Tagging your Audio Tracks.
If you are connected to the Internet and have registered with a music information provider, album
information will automatically be retrieved.
Tagging your Audio Tracks
To tag an audio track is to add descriptive information to it, so that you can distinguish the track from
among others later. Every audio track (MP3 or WMA file) has a set of properties that contains information
such as song and album title, artist name and genre. Using these properties, your player organizes your
music library into categories such as albums, artists and genres, enabling you to browse your huge
collection of audio tracks quickly and easily.
If an audio track contains inaccurate properties, such as unrecognized characters or incorrect details, you
may not be able to perform accurate searches on your player.
For a better experience, make sure your audio tracks contain correct properties.
To fill in properties automatically
While connected to the Internet, use Creative Centrale to "rip" audio tracks from audio CDs. Creative
Centrale uses MusicID
SM
from Gracenote
®
to automatically retrieve information about your audio CDs and
create track properties.
For more information, refer to the application's online Help.
To fill in properties manually
You can use Creative Centrale to fill in audio track properties manually. For information on how to do this,
click the Help button in Creative Centrale. Under the Search tab, enter 'Tagging Media Files
Manually' in the text box and click List Topics.
Tips
Purchase Creative Media Toolbox to automatically update and rectify audio track properties for your
entire music library. Creative Media Toolbox also contains other additional features that enable you
to conveniently manage, enhance and organize your music library.
Transferring Files to Your player
You can use Creative Centrale to easily transfer files into your player. For information on how to do this,
click the Help button in Creative Centrale. Under the Search tab, enter 'Transferring Media Files to
Portable Players' in the text box and click List Topics.

Enhancing Audio Using X-Fi
Your player's X-Fi enhancement consists of 2 main components, X-Fi Crystalizer and X-Fi CMSS-3D.
X-Fi Crystalizer intelligently restores details that were lost during compression of audio files. It makes audio
richer and clearer, delivering sound that is closer to the original quality.
On the other hand, X-Fi CMSS-3D gives audio a realistic and natural feel. It moves the sound away from
your ears and repositions it in front of you - as if listening to a live performance on stage. X-Fi CMSS-3D
works best with your earphones or headphones.
To turn on X-Fi Crystalizer
On the main menu, select X-Fi Crystalize:On
To turn on X-Fi CMSS-3D

California Proposition 65 Statement
WARNING: Handling this product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Explanatory Note: California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65)
requires special product labeling for products containing certain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Creative has chosen to provide a warning based
on its knowledge about the presence of one or more listed chemicals without attempting to evaluate the
level of exposure. With Creative's products, the exposure may be below the Proposition 65 level of concern,
or could even be zero. However, out of an abundance of caution, Creative has elected to place the
Proposition 65 warning on its products.
Déclaration de la Proposition 65 de la Californie
AVERTISSEMENT: La manipulation de ce produit peut vous exposer à des produits chimiques qui sont
reconnus par l'État de la Californie comme pouvant provoquer le cancer, des anomalies congénitales ou
d'autres effets nuisibles à la reproduction.
Veuillez vous laver les mains après l'avoir manipuler.
Note explicative: La Proposition 65 (California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986)
de la Californie sur les matières dangereuses et l'eau potable exige un étiquetage spécial pour les produits
contenant certains produits chimiques qui sont reconnus par l'État de la Californie comme pouvant
provoquer le cancer, des anomalies congénitales ou d'autres effets nuisibles à la reproduction. Creative a
choisi d'inclure une mise en garde s'appuyant sur sa connaissance de la présence d'un ou de plusieurs de
ces produits chimiques sans essayer d'en évaluer le niveau d'exposition. Pour les produits de Creative, le
niveau d'exposition peut être inférieur au niveau critique établi par la Proposition 65 ou même être nul.
Néanmoins, par souci extrême de prudence, Creative a choisi de placer l'avertissement de la Proposition
65 sur ses produits.
