Full Version: Creative Zen Touch - how to assign drive letter?

Is there any way to assign a drive letter to a device with PlaysForSure firmware? I'm using Creative Zen Touch, and it is listed without a drive letter. That makes it difficult to sync files using foobar's component foo_sendtodevice. (Of course, if the device that shows up actually is mounted in a virtual folder somewhere, that would to it too. I'm using Windows Vista.)

Alternatively, if there's not, I'm wondering if there's an application that can transfer files to said device, convert from FLAC to mp3 on the fly (of course keeping things gapless and all that), and most important, not do ANYTHING at all with the original files. Windows Media Player seems to occasionally totally mess up the tags just adding the files to WMP's media library. I'm almost OCD when it comes to getting the tags right and organizing my music collection (which foobar does based on tags), so a program messing this up would be a mild crisis, at best.

Thanks a lot in advance. smile.gif

I don't know about PlaysForSure, but in general, devices can be assigned to the same letter all the time in Windows by right clicking on My Computer and selecting Manage, then going to Disk Drives or Disk Drive Management or something (I'm guessing a bit here because I don't have a Windows machine at home!) and then right clicking on the one in question and choosing Change... if no one else can be more precise then I'll update this after work with the actual instructions!

Thanks, but I've of course tried that long ago. smile.gif The problem is that the device doesn't even show up in the disk management.
