Re: Player hangs between songs

I never could get WMP to sync with my player successfully ... so being able
to finally sync now is like pure heaven! The 20-40 second hanging I was
referring to when I started the post was hanging between songs during
playback without the Zen connected. Even with Creative's software it does
usually take a few seconds to recognize the device ... and I find I get more
consistent results if I connect the player to the PC before I open Creative's
software.
