An advantage of owning a Creative Zen Player is its ability to function as more than just an MP3 player. One attractive and popular additional feature is its ability to act as a recorder. Follow these instructions to turn your Creative Zen player into a recorder.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Creative Zen MP3 Player

Step1
Turn on your Creative Zen MP3 Player. This should bring up the Main Menu.
Step2
Select the icon labeled "Microphone."
Step3
Use the "Play/Pause" button to begin and stop recording. The recorded file will automatically be saved to your Creative Zen’s hard drive. You can use this function to leave yourself an audible note or reminder.
Step4
Record FM radio transmissions by pressing the "Options" button while listening to a radio broadcast, then selecting the "Record Radio" option.

Tips & Warnings

  • Recorded tracks on the Creative Zen players are named according to the date they are created. Radio tracks have the prefix FM before their date.
  • If you want a higher-quality microphone recording, buy a secondary microphone add-on rather than using the player's built-in microphone.
