    • Notes
    • 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.
  • Your player only supports pictures in the JPEG (JPG) format, videos in the AVI format and EBooks in the TXT format.
  • All video formats require conversion before they can be played on your player. 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. Your player can only transfer videos not exceeding 2GB.
