Mac Compatable: DOes the Creative Platform software work on Macs.

Not as far as I can tell. I have a Creative Labs Zen Nano Plus. It is a flash player and so far, I can drop and drag files from my Mac into it and it seems to work fine. I bought it because it has a pretty good voice recorder and a line in recording function (can record from cassette players etc and converts to mp3 without computer). All seem to work fine with my Mac. But none of the files that are on the CD-ROM are Mac friendly. I don't know if this will be true with this 8 GB player, since it is a hard drive player. If it will work, there are some sweet deals on it and it seems like it is a very cool player. If anyone knows if these hard drive players will show up on a Mac as hard drive and you can still drop and drag files and then play them, please let us know. Thanks.

Creative needs to get its marketing act together. Amazon doesn't have the fact that it's MAC compatible either. The website from Creative in Singapore is much more descriptive with better links to demos than the US Creative website. I'll never understand companies that fail to describe features that they have in their products in their own advertising and their own websites. Just poorly done....and it is totally Creative's fault.

I'm afraid it doesn't. Datel was planning to release a software compatible with MAC but they canceled it for some reason.

The software runs in Windows. You need Bootcamp or Parallels on your Mac to use their software. The only Mac OSX program which downloads directly from the device is "SleepyHead" (home grown software) and it is only the newest test build of that program which works (unstable nightly builds, on Sorceforge).

I don't have a MAC. But it works great on my PC. Very easy to use and excellent quality. It comes with software for PC and MAC.

Not that I'm aware of I'm afraid. I use Windows and I've never once used mac. But I believe it may work for all platforms.

Don't bother. Highly specialized apps (like those in CS3) you want to run natively. And the mac version is very good. Call Adobe; they DO offer a cross-platform upgrade (there is cost, but it's significantly less than buying a new product). You'll be much happier in the long run, and save time running them natively.

i use Final Cut Express on my Mac. for the PC, I've used Pinnacle Studio. it's not nearly as good, but it'll get the job done.

The software works with Windows XP, 7 and 8. It does not work natively with a Mac. If you use Parallels or another VM software on your Mac, it will work fine. I am running an iMac with OS 10.10.x and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit in Parallels. The software works fine. It is a little clunky, and you will definitely want to export to Excel if you want to do any manipulation of the data.

It should work OK. However I experienced latency problems with GarageBand on my iMac.Not sure if this would happen with other software or platforms.

No. Unless... Apple has it's own software for it. It seems that this device is designed for use on the Windows platform only. A word of caution: It's nearing or has entered into its end-of-life for support as well. Some of Creative's newer devices may work with iOS/Apple/MAC, but you have to check their site to verify. This device has been the best investment I have made in about 2 years now. It's a beast of a controller. I use mine everyday and I'm currently duplicating about 500 albums with it. It's a shame that it does not appear to have any driver or software support for Macs. Hope this helps.

Yes, while other say the software doesnt work with mac if you actually look at everything on the download page you will find a place where you can download seperate software specificaly for mac. I dont have a mac to test this on but I dont know why they would put a download option for mac if it didnt work with macs.

I own a mac with mavericks and it works great with it and all my current DAW's! Enjoy.

Yes, I use Mac Yosmite and Dragon Dictate works fine at times. At other times its temperamental. It crashes and re-launches a few seconds later. Thankfully you don't lose much work. overall, its manageable but takes a few seconds extra. I have not been able to work this out though!

I use mine with Lion and it works BUT the bundled organizational software (Rack2Filer) is Windows-only. The scanning, OCR, etc., software itself does work with Mac. But I would not recommend paying more for the bundle if you have a Mac.
