AAC Support
Creative states that the ZEN supports the AAC audio format. However, only iTunes-encoded files can be played by the player hardware. iTunes's implementation has been licensed by Apple from Dolby and is proprietary. These files are in the .m4a format, which is the same as the Apple Lossless Audio Codec. Creative has acknowledged this issue in a support article.
The latest version of Nero-AAC Encoder (1.3.3.0) "solved compatibility issues with some hardware devices", including ZEN. This update makes Nero-Coded AAC files playable on ZEN.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“Have a sense of piety ever on your mind, and be ever mindful that this is subject to no change, but will last you as long as life and support you in death. Elevate your soul by prayer and by contemplation without mystical enthusiasm.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
