Creative is below par when it comes to explaining the real capability of Zen Vision:M player. The user manuals are NOT very helpful either. Like iPod, Zen does not have the "All" option to play all the songs from a particular artist or an Album. I was really annoyed by this fact. 

But today I stumbled upon a creative forum post which explains how to do this and whole bunch of other things! Here are some of the useful tricks you ought to know if you own a Zen.

• Play ALL Songs from a particular artist

With the iPod, in the artist's folder there is an "ALL" option to play all the songs from an artist. To do this on the Vision:M, just go to ARTIST, scroll down to the artist you want, then simply press the "PLAY" button. The same goes for GENRES and ALBUMS too. Even easier than the iPod!

• Search GENRE by song title

Choose the particular genre, then, when you see the list of artists, click menu (Options), and choose either "View Tracks" or "View Albums" to get a list of all of the tracks or albums within that genre.  The scroll bar will be there.

• Get to the SHORTCUT list quickly 

by holding down the shortcut button for a couple seconds.
