Hi,

What would happen if I connect the connection dock to my phone, the usb at the end of my phone cable to the white joiner for my Zen and that to my Mp3 Player and go to USB Host on my MP3 Payer

What would happen?

Craig

Very probably yes and also your MP3 player. Doesn't your phone play MP3 anyway?

Is this to go along with the idea of using a usb cable from the sky+ box to transfer recordings?

Dont try it, Unless you want to ruin the phone(possibly)

I can't answer Craig's question, but thought I would try to provide some useful input.

People with a computing background should recognise that "host" normally refers to a computer in a network of devices.

For example, in a USB system, the "host" is normally the computer.

To the USB host you can connect a number of USB devices, such as mice, keyboards, and mass storage devices such as hard disks, memory-card readers.

Normally an MP3 player will act as a USB device.

It appears that the Creative ZEN Vision:M 60Gb MP3 player has a "USB host" feature which, when used with the correct cable, allows the ZEN to act as a "USB host" rather than a "USB device".

The purpose of this appears to be to allow the connection of certain USB devices, such as digital cameras or card-readers, directly to the ZEN. This should allow files to be copied between the ZEN and the device, for example to make a backup, without needing to involve a computer.

I don't know how this feature works, I don't know if it will work with a mobile phone. It appears to have been tested only with digital cameras and card readers. The only advice I can give Craig is to read the instructions in his ZEN user manual.

The page on Creative website about the ZEN Vision:M seems to be here:
http://us.creative.com/products/prod...&product=14331
The package contents page indicates that the 60Gb version is supplied with a "USB Host Cable".

There's some more information on the Creative forum:

You have an N73 right? I'm pretty sure that phone supports the USB Mass Storage Device profile, so you should be able to view the contents of the phone's memory card with the Zen.
