Zenning Away

[billroper]

I took Katie off to Frys to give daisy_knotwise some child-free time to work on things for Capricon. Returning home with a car adapter for the new MP3 player, a car charger for Gretchen's cellphone, and a pair of noise cancelling headphones for me, I discovered that the Zen player had arrived and am now downloading music onto it.

I discover, though, that it doesn't come with a wall charger. Does anyone know if you can use any mini-USB charger with it, or does it need the specific brand-name charger?

Thanks!

I use the one for my Razr to charge the player... so as far as I know, yes.

I've never met anything that charges through the USB port that had any requirements other than 5V on the appropriate pin. Any charger (or any computer with a USB port) should work.

Two cells, one charger

Fred & I have completely different cell phones, and use the chargers that came with them interchangeably. There's also an item called "iGo" that's a charger with various tips for different devices. I'd say if the thing fits, it's probably right.

Their are also auto-plug adapters to USB voltage devices for charging or powering while in the car.

I have a Zen V Plus, and it charges while it's plugged into the computer, as I'm downloading into it. I've never needed to use any other charger, as it plays for quite a long time on a charge, and charges pretty quickly.

Hope this helps. I do like my Zen very much.
