Creative Zen Vision M

[Klintor]

I was wondering. I have a friend with a lot of music on iTunes (not music that he bought with iTunes, but music he opens and plays with iTunes). The music shows up with having an "Mpeg4" icon, but I was wondering if he'd be able to put it on, say, a Creative Zen Vision:M. He's been eying one, and actually has an unopened iPod video 30GB that he's thinking about returning. The Creative is $40-$50 less for the same 30GB version, so just wondering.

As long is not copy-protected, I don't see why not.

Well, I know some isn't copy protected (I showed him the different icons, both with and without a little padlock symbol), but Creative has the MP4 listed as a video format, but this is music. Wouldn't it be a little funky in playback? I mean, I hope it does (so we can follow through with the iPood return), but I guess I'm asking if anybody has one and has tried it...or something.

You can take a look at this: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/mpeg4/ and then http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/aac/ .

Basically, Mpeg-4 using ACC as it's audio. So, if a player can play an Mpeg-4 it will play the audio in it. So...

From my understanding of reading those two, it will basically be a video with only sound...
