Firmware Releases
Numerous firmware updates were released very soon after the player's launch, fixing a variety of bugs, but Creative did not add features to the SD Card functionality. The SD card functionality is considered to be poor by many people who own a Creative Zen because these people had expected the SD card to function more along the lines of a RAM expansion pack or additional non-volatile RAM instead of a separate drive with limited functionality, which is how Creative designed it to act. The ZEN MX requires an entirely different firmware.
The earlier ones have reportedly caused players to occasionally result in a white screen of death.
Version 1.10.05 was released on October 23, 2007. Thai language support was added, while video playback was improved. Adapter charging and startup time were quickened.
The prior version, 1.20.02, was released on December 19, 2007. Transferring content via the SD card slot is enabled, though only image files are viewable.
Firmware version 1.21.01 was released on February 28, 2008. It improves the player's playback performance of WMA (.wma) files.
The latest version, 1.21.03, was released on January 19, 2009, which improves FM radio player operation.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
