Creative Zen mp3 software on Linux

[ben44b]

I was quite disappointed when I came home after buying my mp3 and saw that I needed Windows XP to install the software that goes with the player.
If I installed Wine, would I be able to install this software?

Thank you.

Just in case somebody prefer a native solution http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/

Hello,
I cam across your post. I just insatalled Ubuntu on my computer and am also trying to get my new creative zen m going using the software and wine. No luck as of yet, can you tell me how you did it. I am a totally newbie so any detailed/specific help would be much appericated.
thanks

Sorry, I guess I should have elaborated a little.

I got my Zen working but not by using Wine. I used libnjb, gnomad2 and a few other things I had to add. There is a web page that explains how to.

Good luck.

Which Zen are you using?

thanks for replying.
I am using the creative zen vision m.
I have seen the sight that you posted, as well as a some info on Ubuntu forums and also gnomad2's own sight.
I have tried that method but still run into problems. I am sure that this has a lot to do with being new at using linux and command lines, but even following the instructions carefully, no luck as of yet.

One thing I am concerned with (and not sure if I should be or not) is I have properly unistallted everything (gnomad2, etc) before attempting to reinstall.

I will try again today and post some of my efforts. I would appericate any feedback from anyone watching...

Just use gnomad2 (Gnomad2 - Getting your Jukebox/Zen running under Linux) its a gui that is very simple to use. It works without any problem on my Ubuntu 7.04.
