Linux.ie/FRLinux.net: Installing a Creative Zen USB on Linux

“Even though most of the people don’t know about it, there is a
project on Linux which allows you to connect your Zen mp3 player on
Linux. Developers are working quite hard at the moment to get a new
release out and which also supports my Zen 2.0. I am not using
usb-ohci (the USB module for USB 2.0) as it makes my system
unstable after a while so I only upload songs using USB 1.1 (even
if it is slower, at least it works all the time which is the most
important to me). Make sure that you have a system which is
properly supporting USB (recompile your kernel if necessary to
allow more modules).

“Regarding software, make sure you have installed : libusb and
hotplug. For distributions using packages, you will also need the
‘devel’ versions (dev for Debian) if you want to be able to
properly compile your source and the application. Make also sure
you installed CVS as you will need it to download the lastest up to
date version of libnjb. This is indeed the project name which deals
with your player. Concerning the software with a nice GUI, I chose
Gnomad2. You could also use GnomeDap which does nearly the same job
but I found it much less stable…:
