Interesting.... The 8GB seems to work just fine. Perhaps you should use the SDFormatter program to make sure it is formatted properly.

The 16GB A-DATA card works good. See post 29.

KingMax 4GB High-Speed Class 6 SDHC Card works.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OTCKVE

Bought the card, got it in mail, put in Zen and got the "NO MEDIA INSERTED" message. Tried the formatter posted here.. didn't work. Let it sit in Zen overnight and this afternoon I noticed when trying to access it "UNSUPPORTED FORMAT ERROR". Went home, formatted in Windows to FAT32 and now it works. So 24 hours later, working 4GB.

The crap part.. Last night after initial ZEN not seeing card, I was so pissed, I ordered a known supported 8GB.. so alas.. now I got way more space then I wanted.. spent more than I wanted...but I am still happy.

You may be suprised as to how fast you become in need for more storage capacity once you get used to using SD cards with the Zen. Maybe movies on the 8GB and TV shows on the 4GB.....

Heyyy first post.

Anyway, I bought two A-Data 16GB SDHC cards and they worked right out of the package. I now have 36GB of storage and I still haven't filled them up, though I did manage to get one full (having 75+GB of mp3s will do that to you).

Yup, I have a few of those. I confirmed that card worked here.

I believe it does. According to this person (last post), it works fine.

Default Max size of SD (SDHC) card on Zen?
I am using a brand name SDHC card (class 2) that is 4gb right now, works perfect.

Before I get another that is bigger... is there a max size for the Zen?

Using SDHC interface, I would assume not... but we know how all that works out! HA HA!

Thanks,
Andrew

Don't think there is a limit, but then again, I don't know as I don't have a 32 GB SDHC card!

Plus, there's a sticky http://anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19975

The Trancend 8GB card is on Creative's list of supported cards, so yes.

As for the AData 8GB card, the 2Gb, 4Gb, and 16Gb have been reported to work just fine. I would be surprised if the 8Gb didn't work.

I don't see why either one of the headphones wouldn't work.

I don't see why they wouldn't work, but I don't know of anyone who has tried yet. I should be able to report back if they do or not soon.

I bought a 16GB SDHC by Patriot. I got it for $59.95 at Fry's Electronics a couple months back.


Edit -

Just checked Google. It's $38.99 after rebate from ZipZoomfly.com and $41.99 from Newegg.com

I haven't checked the price of a 32GB, but if it's far more than double the price of a 16GB, then IMO, I'd buy two 16's. The 16 I'm using has plenty of space to hold hundreds of my MP3's and dozen's of my Youtube videos and misc file, as I also use the ZEN as a removable/portable drive.

Yes, some 16GB cards have been confirmed to work. I have 2 of the A-Data cards from here. Only $30.99 +$6.99 shipping. Not bad at all.

Hi, all! I just joined your site, (although I've been reading the forum posts for a while), and I'm impressed with the helpful people and wealth of knowledge it contains. I'd just like to add that I've got the 4 GB zen player, and I've used the 8 GB Kingston SDHC class four card, the Lexar 128 MB SD card, Transcend 1 GB SD card, and the Sandisk 1 GB SD card. All worked out of the package with the player, and didn't seem to matter whether it was Fat 16 or 32. I have a Kingston 16 Gb SDHC class 4 card in the mail, and I'll post my experience with that when it arrives.
