Since the ZVUE! does not ship with a USB cable for reading/writing MP3's from a PC, z-owners need to purchase a USB cable or a SD reader/writer adaptor.

A USB 5 pin din mini-B cable can be purchased online or from a consumer electronics store like Best Buy or Radio Shack for around $10.

A single slotted SD reader/writer USB adaptor from Crucial (photo) sells for $14.95 (plus shipping) while a multi-function* USB flash memory adaptor can be purchased for under $30.

* Compatible Media

CompactFlash Type I/II

If you know of a good deal on USB cables or SD adaptors, let us know.

Until the MPEG4 card is available for the ZVUE!, MP3 usage is the most popular activity.

NOTE: At this time, the company recommends using a SD adaptor.
