So here goes. I have a Creative Zen Nano 1gb mp3 player that I use for working out. When I first started out, I could go to LW find a song, download it then drag it to my MP3 player. Easy, right? However, now when I try and do the exact same thing, I get: "The directory or file cannot be created" message. I'm pretty certain I am doing nothing different than before but....Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

go directly to your downloads folder and do the dragging and dropping from there

or....the player is full (actually this is probably the problem)

Yeah, I looked to see if that might have been the problem and it shows it is not full but still has plenty of space left...Funny thing is, this morning I was able to get 2 songs to transfer to my player but none after that..very bizarre..

hmmm....well the only time I have seen that error message is when my player is full, and I have the same exact player...

the fact you got 2 songs to transfer is not really odd per se, as those might have been the 2 needed to fill it up....try deleting a few songs again, and then emptying the trash can in windows and see what happens

i'll try it..what the hell?? sure can't hurt. thanks and I'll let you know what I found..

Well, i'll be d@mned. I erased 1 song and tried it and it did download. hmmm...It still says I have alot of space left?? How many songs are you able to get on yours? It shows I still have 471.3mb space left. 998mb total. Does this sound right to you??? I mean I should be able to get a few hundred more songs on there shouldn't I?

it all depends upon the size of the mp3s...the device as far as I know is only limited by its total storage space....

I'll need to look into this closer and see if I can save space some how by downloading in a different format. I really appreciate your help as I was racking my brains trying to figure out what happend.

Many mp3 players can only fit so much on the root directory

Erase a few songs then make a folder or two and put the songs in there. This is not a guess. You were just unlucky to not find the right threads here

And BTW I think it's incredible that the makers don't include this in the manual on the first page
