No need. The Zen or Zen Plus 4GB units talk MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). Install Gnomad2 if you're a GTK+/Gnome guy or install Amarok with MTP support if you're a Qt/KDE guy. Other software that supports MTP devices: http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=downstream This will work for all newer Creative Labs hardware. The older hardware such as the Zen Touch will be speaking the Creative-proprietary NJB (Nomad JukeBox) version III protocol instead: http://libnjb.sourceforge.net/?section=projects Please fire whoever advised you that the player would not work in linux or OS X.
