Connecting a Creative Zen to MBP

When I connect my Creative MP3 player to my MBP nothing happens, however when I look in the System Profiler it shows up under the USB devices. How to I transfer files to it? It seems there is no OS X software on Creative's website to do this. Thanks

Run /Applications/Utilities/Disc Utility and see if it appears? Does the 'Mount' button light up or not?

It's probably formatted for PC's with Creative's version of the iTunes software on it I guess ? If you wipe the drive by Formatting you could then write files to it, but you'd have no software on there to play them with ...

i.e. bottom line is it's not compatible with iTunes/Mac OS if there's nothing on their web site to support this and you can't mount the drive.

Addendum:
Check this out http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/
"XNJB is a Cocoa graphical user interface for Mac OS X for the Creative Nomad range of portable MP3 players and newer MTP players."
