Tagging Your Audio Tracks
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 automatically tag audio tracks
While connected to the Internet, use Creative Centrale to rip audio tracks from audio CDs. Creative
Centrale uses MusicIDSM
from Gracenote® to automatically retrieve information about your audio CDs and create track
properties.
To manually tag audio tracks
You can use Creative Centrale to fill in audio track properties manually. For information , click the Help
button in Creative Centrale.

your memory card.

Centrale automatically converts media files to a format that is supported by your player. See also

transferred. Disconnect the player only when file transfer is complete.

Taskbar, click Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device.

Frequently Asked Questions
This section covers questions you might have while using your player. For further assistance, you may
consult our self-help tool "Knowledge Base". Visit www.creative.com
.
Can I transfer Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected WMA files to my player?
Yes. Your player supports Windows Media® DRM (WMDRM) 9 file format.
To transfer media files to your player, use Creative Centrale
or Windows Media Player.
I cannot play DRM-protected WMA files on my player. What do I do?
The files may have become corrupted during transfer or the DRM license may have expired.
If the DRM license is still valid, try transferring the files again using Creative Centrale
, or Windows Media Player.
I have to recharge the player's battery quite often. Is there anything I can do to make it last
longer?
Generally, any operation requiring your player to access the memory consumes battery power.
However, some settings and operations depletes the battery faster, such as:
 a long display duration setting. A shorter display duration setting saves battery power.
 a high brightness setting. Position the player so that you can read the display without using a high
contrast setting.
 fast forwarding or rewinding.
 turning the player on and off too many times.
 prolonged use at high volume.
 enabling equalizer settings.
My player's volume is very soft. What can I do?
If you have enabled the Restrict Volume setting, make sure that the maximum playback volume that
you have selected for your player is not too low. For more information, see Enabling Volume Restriction
.
How do I reset my player?
If your player stops responding, gently push the end of a thin object (like a pin or straightened paperclip)
into the Reset button.
My player is performing erratically. What can I do?
Your player may occasionally operate at less than optimal performance for a number of reasons, for
example, if the music library is rebuilt frequently when no changes have been made to it.
Selecting Clean Up in your player's Recovery Mode
menu cleans, rebuilds and reorganizes your player's memory and restores it to optimal efficiency. Back

default settings. If possible, back up all data on your player before proceeding.
