Driver for zicplay mp3 player

Solved

 by-rayane -
Hello!!

I bought a 512MB Zicplay MP3 player and the problem is that for XP, you normally don't need a driver, the computer should do it automatically, but my computer tells me that the installation has failed. Then it tells me to go online but the page is no longer valid.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers!

The format is not good, restart with Windows Media Player ;)

I have a problem with my Zicplay MP3 player because my XP computer can't install the driver.
If I press F11, what will be deleted?
Otherwise, I can't download the driver I need from zicplay.com because the page is not found.
Can someone help me? Thank you in advance.

I bought the Zicplay 512 MB FM MP3 player. The seller told me it is compatible with Mac, but the technical manual does not mention it. If so, with which version of the system: Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X?
Thank you all for your help.

Hello Manuella, I'm experiencing exactly the same problem as you. I have the same player but with FM, and I managed to download the CD, but it's in a foreign language and despite that, it doesn’t work. If you have any updates, could you keep me posted? Thank you very much.

Hello, I bought the same player for my daughter. I went to the ZICPLAY.COM website and downloaded the drivers (since we have WINDOWS 98) and with the CD, I couldn't understand anything because there are no instructions to help us... Since then, I tried it out, copied a song for her, and I was able to listen to it.

I have a problem with a mini key 512mb
I have a Mac OS 10.39 and there is no need for a driver
it shows: format error! between the different pieces of music, even the ones that are pre-loaded
when I load my own, it intersperses characters ( -.) between the music titles
for example: .- track number 1.-track number 2.-or a music title
this prevents the functioning from one piece to another, I have to constantly skip to the next title with the small button
since I use it for running, imagine that
I raised this issue with the FNAC customer service without any result
who could
help me please

Gilles 88, we had the same problem with a zicplay and a mac, there were intermediate files that blocked the transition from one piece to another. In fact, we deleted the intermediate files, and it works, but it's not as compatible as they say!!!

Hello,

If I believe what I'm reading from all of you, our problems
with the minikey are indeed similar.. unfortunately!
For my part, I am on MAC OS and cannot
play my MP3s. I will return to FNAC once
again. It gets very tiring in the long run for
a product that claims to be "user-friendly"?..
I personally have written to the Swiss supplier.
I invite you to do the same.
We shouldn't let ourselves be fooled.

I have the minikey 512Mb with FM, but I lost the CD with the drivers and can't update the firmware. I would like to update it. Please, could you make a backup and send it to my gmail address? If it's more than 15Mb, could you contact me and we would figure out how to send it? Thank you very much!

(My French is not very good, I'm sorry!)

It's easy, just go to the ZICPLAY support page
http://www.zicplay.com/fr/support_list.htm#firmware_minikey
and download the appropriate driver, unzip it, double-click on setup.exe, it installs on the PC and then in My Computer, you see the removable disk, that's the MP3 player
That's it, it's done and it works!!!
Enjoy listening.

I downloaded the driver for minikey, I found a program (shareware) to decompress it but I don't see any "setup.exe" in the decompressed file. What now?

Furthermore, I can't install my ZicPlay correctly on my PC because Windows says that the "AdfuUd.inf" file is missing (access path). I do have an AdfuUpdate in my #ZP-MINI-U1 Driver but no AdfuUd.inf.

In short, I've been struggling for hours!

Can anyone help me?

I also have a big problem with the ZICPLAY MP3 512. WINDOWS XP doesn't recognize it and I can't download a driver from the ZICPLAY website.
Thank you for helping me.

Astonishing, I went to the Fnac where the ZicPlay comes from, one of the technicians had the same problem as me and the other seller went on another PC and it worked, the PC recognized the drive, so the guy reformatted it and now my PC recognizes it too!

I believe that with this kind of "fragile" product, you need to be very careful to follow the "safe removal" procedure.

Do like me, and good luck :-)

I hadn't seen that there was already a topic for the Zicplay MP3 player.
Everyone has the same problem.
I have Windows XP and yet my computer does not recognize the device and obviously does not install it.
And since I lost the receipt, I can't return it to the store that sold it to me.

you know what you're doing, you install the driver and that's it.

Stop being stupid, guys! You all ask the same question without even answering each other. I bought 3! One for my daughter, one for my wife, one for me, from different places!! A friend bought one too, I use Mac OS X Panther and Tiger, Windows "any platform" and I have no issues, I would even say that these ZicPlay are perfect. I even have a Zicplay phone for the computer and I'm not complaining about that either!!!

Your product comes with a manual! You should read it sometimes!!!!!!!

Everything works for me even without drivers and I make the most of them without any problems.....

PS: the funny guy up there with his iBook, did you need to do copy-pasting like that? Is it to annoy the readers or what????????
On another note, he needs to learn how to use an iBook. "A Zicplay is 100% operational on a MAC, just like everything else......

However, for those who really have problems with their Zicplay, you can contact me, I will help you if I can.

Ben, I’m going to tell you, I have a MacBook and I've read the manual three times and I have the same problem as everyone else, the reader doesn't appear on the desktop. If you can explain to me the procedure you adopted to use your Minikey Color.

Moi, j'ai un zicplay Vmax, j'ai lu la notice aussi, mais ça ne sert pas beaucoup. J'ai installé les drivers, mais je ne retrouve toujours pas mon MP3 dans le poste de travail alors qu'hier, il fonctionnait très bien.
Pourriez-vous m'aider ??!!

Hello,

I get a message (disk error!) when I try to access the menu (music-recording-voice) directly on the drive... However, I can see the
USB key when I insert it into my Mac... I can also copy files to it...
I just can't read anything, always the same message.

Since I'm on Mac, I can't reset the drive...

Could someone send me a disk image of their drive so I
can launch Disk Utility and do a restore??

Thank you.

Hello,
I just went through the forum posts. I'm experiencing the same issue as several people here. I'm on Mac (iBook), and when I put MP3s on the Zicplay, I have intermediate files that get interspersed between each track, making continuous playback impossible. I can't delete these files from the drive.

Do you have a solution?

Thank you in advance ;)

Hello, I have a Zicplay Vmax 512 MP3 player. I was listening to music when it suddenly stopped and displayed "delete all." Now, when I try to upload MP3 files, the computer says "unable to create file."

You need to press F11. When the computer starts, press F11 and you'll see everything will work, but it will erase everything afterward.
