Something old, Something NEW!

Nothing better than when an old gadget gets some new life. I've had a ZEN XTRA MP3 player for some time - I then upgraded to a ZEN MICRO so that I could download music from Rhapsody onto my MP3 player. I'd read rumors about Creative porting the Plays For Sure firmware back to the ZEN XTRA, and well - they did!

This gives me two big benefits - first, I can now have 30G of music from Rhapsody for trips, etc. Second, the ZEN XTRA never had direct USB file transfer, but the Plays For Sure firmware allows direct USB file transfer on any XP machine. Yes, I know, it requires Windows - but it works :)

The new firmware is here - Please read the warnings - and note that it will delete all existing music...It installed with no issues on my player, and it seems to work great.
