I have a Zen MP3 player (about 2½ years old) but when I connect it to my iMAC via a USB slot, the computer doesn't even acknowledge its existence although it seems to recharge the battery quite happily.
Thus I can't downloaded new MP3 tracks or organsie the content I already have on the player. The Creative Zen website appears not to have any downloadable software to help.
Any suggestions to get this thing working again will be gratefully received!

Thanks Stefan. I had come across this software from a Google search I did and am still a bit nervous about using it. But it's beginning to look as though there's not much else about, so I will have to take the plunge.

Indeed there is no other choice.
Microsoft has never made an appropriate software for the Zen for OSX and Apple hadn't any intention doing so.
XNJB is around for quite some time and should work quite well.

Thanks very much Stefan. I have taken the plunge and downloaded XNJB and in many respects it is good, superior to the Zen software in some respects. For example I have been able to tidy up files easily whereas the Zen software was hopeless for this. (Except for the earlier Zen Stone where the software was easy to use and brilliant - oh why oh why do software developers take good software that works well, then ruin it??!!)
However, all I can seem to be able to do with XNJB is to tidy up labels and not a lot else. I still don't seem to be able to drag ripped CDs to my MP3 player nor play anything on my MAC.
Am I asking the impossible? Can this be done on a Mac? Or should I switch back to PC/Windows? (Not inclined to buy iPod or iPhone)
Many thanks.

Hi G., (sounds like an episode of NCIS: LA...) đ
I don't have a Zen player myself being a proud owner of various iPods for ten years...
As for the usage of XNJB it might be best to use their own Forum http://www.wentnet.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=f504c6fda20c41a4b567e88473479 be7

Thanks Stefan.
