I converted mine several years ago. I used a converter cable and CF card. I gained about 2 gb of extra room, it ran faster and the battery lasted a lot longer. I have since moved on to an ipod classic, the Zen Vision M was a much better product. Creative gave up on the mp3 player game though, everyone (but me) has a smartphone that can stream nowadays. I can’t make myself pay a monthly subscription to a music service. Why rent when you can own. I have two of these players and the Cambridge soundworks dock if you are interested in buying.
Has anyone had one of their ram slots go bad? It would randomly crash, a process of elimination determined which slot is bad.
That happened to me, I only have one slot filled with a 4gb stick. It works fine for me, occasionally it rams out as I call it.
