This is an Instructable on how to create and manage media for your Zvue 260. I decided to create this, in light of Handheld Entertainment being on the verge of folding and closing up shop on many websites (including already shutting down the offices for
Ebaumsworld, and the Zvue official site).
As well, many (including myself) have had bad experiences with the included software, and as well would like something a little more simplistic. In addition to this, it is hard to find the software that they have on their website, as the site seems to be out of content and Godaddy has the site reserved. So without further delay here we go!
Ok, so you may have mixed views on Windows Media Player and its usefulness. Some like me perfer VLC Player, or other free/open-source players, or even >gasp< iTunes (i do own an iPod Nano 3rd Gen 4 Gig as well). But the Zvue 260 is able to work quite well with WMC (on the music side of things). All you have to do is simply create a playlist in Windows Media Player, and then (after saving the list) simply sync the list to your Zvue. It will import the music, as well as convert the playlist for your Zvue. One Note: i have had difficulty having more than 6 playlists on my Zvue for some reason or another. But one handy thing is that the Zvue can support up to 16 gigs with its SD Card slot (i run a 2 gig in mine, out of the fact i had one laying around, and the 1 gig that it came with is in my Wii now, holding some roms and emulators).
