May 24 (2006) 02:50AM | Nice to see creative still giving us new FW...but I couldn't care less about audible support |

May 24 (2006) 04:05AM  | I agree, we want Gapless! FLAC!  |
| Bitshitter
May 24 (2006) 05:49AM  | this is sweet! Now, we need links for audiobook downloads in the information portal - sort of a thread for content for the ZVM, with links for sites with free/non-free audio, video, photo & audiobook downloads.... or, do we already have that?? Lol, it's been awhile since I've browsed thru the portal, & there's so much stuff in there!! [ edited May 24 (2006) 05:49AM ] |

May 24 (2006) 06:27AM  | flac is okay and all but really, wouldnt AC3 and native subtitle be so much better for our movies and improved bookmarking anyways on topic... what i want to know is if i put my zen on random. will it play these audiobooks amongst my music or will there be a separate folder for these?

May 24 (2006) 06:42AM  | I told you Audible support would come in spring. The ZV:M has not been added to Audible.com yet. Too bad Creative didn't add other features to the firmware update |

May 24 (2006) 07:03AM | rockbox would be nicer:( |
| Chahk
May 24 (2006) 10:17AM  | Is that it, Audible support and DRM fixes? Is this what we've been waiting for the last couple of months? What about lockup issues a lot of units are experiencing? Text/lyrics support? How about a myriad of other requests that have been submitted to Creative? Not that I'm ungrateful, but this update is kind of disappointing. [ edited May 24 (2006) 10:17AM ] |

May 24 (2006) 11:31AM | It doesn't cost a lot in R&D to add Audible support: this firmware is a total joke. To summarize, we've been waiting almost three months for something that will allow us to pay for additional content (Audible isn't free as far as I know). A few bug fixes and not a single new feature (I don't count Audible as a "feature"), let's pray for Rockbox since Creative doesn't really pay attention to his customers.

May 24 (2006) 02:10PM  | ...very disappointing... |
| painkiller
May 24 (2006) 02:26PM  | yeah, i agree with Utew. They should've fixed the WMP11 problem atleast. |
| ssjmichael
May 24 (2006) 03:04PM  | WMP11 just came out and it's not even their job to fix that painkiller. It's a beta program that will have the same problems on all types of MTP devices not just the Vision:M. |

May 24 (2006) 03:32PM  | Audible Schmaudible. I aint upgrading. |
| SixFootSixx
May 24 (2006) 03:37PM  | I'm not upgrading either. My ZVM works just fine. If they happen to come out with a firmware that satisfies me, then I will pursue it. Otherwise, things are fine the way they are now. |
| ssjmichael
May 24 (2006) 03:38PM | Time has been added to the Now Playing screen. I'm positive there are many other bugs that were fixed that were not listed. |
| Chahk
May 24 (2006) 03:47PM | They are doing themselves a disservice by not including these fixes in the change log. Customers *love* to see improvements, no matter how minor or insignificant they might seem. |
| Utew
May 24 (2006) 04:15PM | Big Bernard and Six, The old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" ... is a good rule.. But things are just fine as far as I can tell after updating.. I think you are safe to have a go at it.. and Chahk, I agree with you... |
| Utew
May 24 (2006) 04:28PM | One thing that seems to be fixed.. turning on "Bass Boost".. and having the EQ boosting bass too.. I am getting no distortion at all (at high volume).. just nice clean audio.. can anyone confirm this? .. sounds great on this end... |
| Jedi2155
May 24 (2006) 04:29PM  | Yes....I do enjoy the timestamp on the now playing..... |
| Xenon2434
May 24 (2006) 05:02PM  | So I guess Veggiemusician's whole thing really was a bust...more than ever it looks like it was just a hoax. But I agree, why would it take them 3 months to come out with this? I guess we should be grateful though, at least its something, they havent forgotten about us... |
| mdscriber3
May 24 (2006) 05:16PM  | Oooh Utew ... I agree ... I believe there is a big difference ... sounds great here, too I usually leave it off for that reason and just read your post and turned it on ... sounds nice! |
| jzup90
May 24 (2006) 06:50PM | OMG IT MADE THE BASS BOOST AMAZING! THE BASS BOOST IS ACTUALLY USEFUL AND DOESN'T DISTORT NOW! |
| Bitshitter
May 24 (2006) 08:26PM | the bass boost fix is as great if not greater a fix than a lot of the other items mentioned above, IMO. Besides, there's no indication that this will be the last upgrade Creative puts out..... |
| Pazuzu
May 24 (2006) 11:57PM  | Still distorts for me on some tracks with heavy bass. Oh well, Smart Volume solved it before and still does. I hope Creative adds a textfile viewer next, and gapless would definitely be a great thing. |
| walla onion
May 25 (2006) 04:50PM | does installing new firmware delete existing music and settings? |
| ThinkerT
May 25 (2006) 06:56PM | Well, I for one applaud the Audible support - converting the audible files was fine, but it'll be nice to put my audible content directly on my ZV:M. I could care less about gapless, actually. That's why it must be tough to be them - everyone has different wants, and you can't please everyone. |
| ssjmichael
May 25 (2006) 07:46PM | No walla onion it does not. Everything will still be there after you install it. |
| Spongers
Jun 02 (2006) 06:22PM | Am I dumb or something? The link takes me to the old firmware version, 1.30.02. Did they take it down? |
| shubjero
Jun 03 (2006) 01:32PM | I agree Spongers, the link shows 1.30.02 from March which I already have. Whats going on here? Anyone have a link to the 1.40.02 firmware? |
| csgunner17
Aug 19 (2006) 07:34PM  | is it real or fake becuase i just got mine and i have that exact firmware |
