I recently I got a Creative Zen. In order to get Creative Zen to work with Debian:
Code:
aptitude install libmtp7 amarok mtpfs mtp-tools
Then in Amarok:
Go to Settings -> Configure Amarok -> Media Devices and select 'Add Device.' Choose MTP Media Device and give it a name.
Click on the bottom left corner 'device.'
Then click on 'connect' which is the first horizontal button on the left.
This walk through:

is what helped me get it work. (There were others but they didn't work as well e.g. Gnomad2 and kzenexplore.)
