Its a move that makes Creative look more schizophrenic than savvy. After angering Creative Zen owners by removing FM recording during a non-critical software update Creative has inexplicably and with little official fanfare, restored FM recording as a feature with the latest firmware update. Creative's move to strike the FM recording ability in its Zen mp3 players was seen as a preemptive move to keep the RIAA and its member companies at bay after similar functionality became the subject of a lawsuit against XM Satellite Radio.
The only question left is, how long until Universal Music Group's CEO Doug Morris demonizes owners of FM capable Zen devices and lights a fire under his team of lawyers? Any guesses?
