Anyone managed to get their Creative Zen Jukebox to work on Macintosh?

Hey, as some may know I have a Creative Zen Xtra 60GB Music player.

Been a while since I brought it, and still no Mac driver.

I sent an email, well 2.

The first one

Mac drivers for the Creative Zen Xtra (60GB)?

I am thinking of buying an iPod and giving my Zen to someone else.
Yes, the Zen is great. I LOVE it. But I don't like the idea of having to copy music of my Macintosh Powerbook, onto 6 CD's (not even RW), onto a Windows Laptop, and THEN onto the Zen. It's a waste of time and money. The only reason I would like an iPod is so I can actually transfer music from my Macintosh to my music player without having to waste 6 CDs (at least) in the process. I have countless amounts of CDs lying around.

Wouldn't it just be so much simpler if there was a driver for thr Creative Zen for Mac OS X? You got my hopes up, I was on your site looking at drivers. I chose my product, and in the choice of Operating Systems it had Mac OS X. I chose it, and nope, no drivers. I have had my Macintosh for a while now. I really am amazed how you haven't made a driver yet. I'm not the only one in this situation.

You've clearly done a lot since the Creative Zen, I am liking your products. I would probably even get a Zen micro. But do I want to risk it again? I really am annoyed about having to go through such a long process to get music on my Zen. It really isn't fun.

I hope you read this and understand. Make a driver for Mac OS X or I'll just happily sell my Zen and take my business else where.

Thank you,
Mo Moosa.

We cannot comment on this at the time.

My reply.

Well I cannot comment on what I am contemplating. Well, actually I can, and hey, I'm just a 16 yr old who wants to use his £300 music player to it's potential. If some 2 bit company won't even ANSWER my question then I think that £300 Zen would make a great paperweight. Really, yes, it sounds mad, but hell, atleast I'm answering! I brought this product on good terms, and I want to end this query on good terms. But if you're going to give an answer like that then what's the point?

I will tell all my friends about Creative, Windows and Macintosh alike. Sorry for my somewhat agressive reply but I am extremely annoyed. What is the point in tech support when you withdraw every single bit of information? I look forward to your reply.



Anyone have any work abouts? Creative= pain in the ass.
