Zen touch, does it work?

i have been using my new macbook to my extreme stisfaction i have no big complaints, however after a visit to the apple store for some help i was told that the macbook is compatible with the creative labs "zen micro" mp3 player, i on the other hand have a creative labs "zen touch" and cannot for the life of me seem to get the computer to read the player, so far all i have done is plug in the player while itunes is running like i used to do in the windows program.

Also right now my player has a playforsure update on it, does that do anything?
Thanks

Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.83 GHz
