Getting media on and off the Vision:M, be it video, audio or otherwise, can be done in a number of ways. There is the rather straight forward drag-and-drop method, though beware if you happen to use WinAmp or a similar application, as the player won't recognize the files and you'll have to open up Windows Media Player and use the second method.
You can sync up the Vision:M using the sync tab in Media Player, and this will give you media to transfer based off of what you have in your Media Player library. This may be somewhat annoying if you happen to use a different player such as WinAmp and don't even have the WMP's library stocked up yet, but once you do, it's a fairly simple drag and drop affair.
Thirdly, you can use bundled software from Creative which does roughly the same job and is the most user-friendly method to transfer files for those not familiar with or confident using their computers.
The USB 2.0 connection transfers files consistently at excellent speeds as well as doubling up as a battery charger. It is not, however, the only way to charge the Vision:M's battery.

Creative-ZEN-Vision-Multi-Media-Player 60 Gig, well what can I say, I thought this is just what I wanted only to find what a letdown. I first purchased mine last July and I thought this is fantastic it lived up to all the press on in then I started to notice things like it kept stalling so I took everything off it and formatted the HD again it seems to go ok for a while.
I went on holiday with it thinking I will have all the music I need, then something happened with it. The screen started to break up in the end it went all together. I had a massive problem with creative, then were quite slow in replying to my emails. I had the 60 gig unit and they offered me a brand new one but only a 30 Gig which I thought this is quite strange. I did ask then at the time is there a problem with the 60 Gig units? They just say no we can get you a new one but its going to take longer.
Looking back now I should have taken their offer up as they had repaired my player and this last week its started again the screens stating to go again. I don’t know if there was a manufacturing problem with the Creative-ZEN-Vision-Multi-Media-Player 60 Gig but you don’t see them advertised and I went into comet and they said as fair as they know they have stopped making them and the ones they did have were recalled,
If anyone else has has the same problems they it might be good to know this
