Zen Vision M Problem - Painfully slow transfer speeds

Hi


Can anyone help me with a problem ??

I finally took the plunge and switched from IPOD to creative vision M but i am having lots of trouple with the creative player.

the main problem is actually getting tracks onto the player, i find it painfully slow and about 70% of the time the transfer is failing, it is taking about 15 mins to transfer an album.

i am using usb 2.0 so i think it should be quicker than that, i have tried transfering using the supplied creative software and also napster to go but still very slow.

i dont think its the speed of the pc as its quite high spec.

if anyone can give me any help i would appreciate it !!

Rob

Switched to Zen? Commiserations

Are these DRM'd tracks we're talking about or just regular ones?

It will be very slow. It's the way the Windows Media transfer works unfortunately in checking licenses, but to compound that the Creatives along with iRiver to a lesser extent seem to be especially slow and buggy in the transfer process. I've had the best luck with Samsung but still it's not exactly what you could call fast.
