Transfer music, picture, video and other files from your CD collection or computer to your player.

To start Creative Media Explorer

  1. Make sure your player is connected to your computer, as shown below.

  • Double-click the ZEN Neeon 2 Media Explorer icon on the desktop.

    If you are connected to the Internet, album information is automatically retrieved.
    • Note
    • Creative Media Explorer uses MusicIDSM from Gracenote® to get artist, title, track, credits, and other information about the CDs you play. This service is FREE and automatic. You must be connected to the Internet when using this service. For more information, refer to the Creative Audio CD Ripper online Help. Creative Audio CD Ripper is found in Creative Media Explorer.

    To transfer music, videos, pictures or data from your computer

    1. In Creative Media Explorer, click the Browse Data button.
  • Locate your media files and using the drag-and-drop method, copy them to the following folders in your player:
    • MUSIC folder for audio files
  • VIDEO folder for videos
  • PICTURES folder for pictures
    • Note
    • Data files can be copied to any location in your player.
  • WMA files with Digital Rights Management technology cannot be copied to your player using Windows Explorer. You can only do so with applications that support this technology, such as Creative Media Explorer or Windows Media® Player 10 (WMP 10) and above.
  • Your player only supports pictures in the JPEG (JPG) format.
  • Your player only supports videos in the AVI format.
  • All video formats require conversion before they can be played on your ZEN Neeon 2. Use Creative Media Explorer only to convert your videos. Note that if you choose to skip a video file during file transfer, it will not be transferred to your player.
