Firmware zen stone plus 4GB with spea

in the dropdown list when looking for the latest version of the firmware for my "zen stone plus 4GB with speaker" i just can found the "zen stone plus 4GB"..
this mean that there are no available updates for my device, or that the model with built-in speaker use the same firmware of the one without speaker?
Thanks for help!

Hi JLM, am running .0.05e fine and in fact listening to it at the moment. Is there anyway you can regress back to .0.03 to test your theory? Testing a bunch of 28k CBR MP3s is an easy thing to try also.Message Edited by BlueRobin on 0-02-200802:49 PM

  • Zen Stone Plus 4GB - Hiccups / Skipping with new firmware 1.01

    I upgraded my recently purchased Zen Stone Plus 4GB to the new .0.05 firmware a few days ago. Ever since, most (if not all) tracks will play for ~ second, then skip back to the beginning and play fine thereafter. The problem will recur when the next track begins, either naturally on its own or if I jump tracks. I did not notice this problem with the prior firmware .0.03 (which had some EQ issues for me--EQ adjustments weren't audible while being performed, only after applied as a whole), but have not been able to downgrade back. More than once, I have tried reformatting (as FAT). I have reinstalled the .0.05 firmware (including in recovery mode). I have tried turning cue/review on and off. Nothing solves the hiccup / skipping?problem. Again, nothing will let me downgrade back to the older firmware, either. Has anyone else noticed this with the .0.05 firmware? I know several people have reported date bugs already (which I noticed too), so I'm hoping it's just Creative still getting firmware kinks ironed out. I'm a?little worried that it appears the player is no longer for sale anywhere, despite being a brand new "release." Most of my mp3's are a high quality variable bit rate, just in case that might be impacting something.

  • Zen Stone Plus 4GB - Automatic Shutdown - IT DOES NOT WORK

    :Zen Stone Plus 4GB - Automatic Shutdown - IT DOES NOT WORKVHello!
    I do possess this MP3 Player (with integrated speakers) for more than 2 years now and have never been using the Automatic Shutdown function of the player (in the menu settings). Yesterday, I went to bed, wanted to listen to some music and tried out this function the first time, but it did not work. I tried it with 5, 0 and 30 minutes. What am I doing wrong or is this setting just a joke?
    I am using the current software/firmware and am not a newbie to technical instruments so I do know how to - theoretically - start this function by going to setting - Automatic Shutdown - scrolling to the minutes I want to have - Enter/Confirm with the middle ball-knob at the front of the player.
    Maybe some of you might help me, I would highly appreciate that.
    Kind regards

  • Help! My Zen Stone Plus 4GB working problems!

    My Zen Stone Plus 4GB worked fine a few minutes ago, but if I now turn it on, it'll freeze to Zen Stone Plus 4GB logo. I can't go to menu, use buttons or turn it off a normal way! Just if I press reset button, then it'll turn off. But it's same froze thing everytime I turn it on!
    Second bad thing is, that my computer doesn't recognize the player anymore. It just turns it on, but it'll stay in the same logo.
    I tried Creavite's support things, no help at all.
    And Recovery Tool and Firmware didn't work, because they don't recognize it.
    Please, help

    kindly format your player in windows xp and scan it with avast antivirus software....... update the firmware after formatting...

  • Zen Stone Plus 4gb

    I was at the Download Page and I found that there is a Zen Stone Plus 4gb isn't there. I was wondering if this is a error or a 4gb Zen Stone Plus is planned. It will definitely be something I might consider.

    Could someone confirm ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    If you have windows XP or Vista go to Windows explorer. The stone plus should show up as removable dri've. Right click on it and click properties, it will show how much space there is left.
    If there's still space left, you can always use Windows Media Player (WMP)?to rip your CDs into mp3s and put them on your player afterwards.
    In WMP go to tools - options - rip music and change your settings to mp3. I think by default it will save your music in the My Documents/My music folder. So that's where you can find it back when it's done.
    If you can't find the tools- options menu just click on rip in WMP and hope for the best. If all the setting are still on default it should work.
    After it's done you can either drag and drop in windows explorer or if the creative software isn't giving you any further troubles you can use that to put the music on your player. Make sure to close WMP after?you've done ripping?or it will interfere with the creative software.
    Good luck,

  • Problem with my brand new mp3 player Zen Stone Plus 2GB ( with built in speaker )

    Hi .
    I have purchased the following Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker on 24.06.2008.
    From day one, it had a charging problem . Initial charging it'snever go beyond 87%.
    After using it for 2 days, at the time of recharging , I found my player won`t get dectected in my PC .
    I took the set to the vendor for a checkup . He tried to solve it by resetting , formating etc. But he could only able to to format it's sacrificing its 50% of its allocated space.
    My vendor then changed the set with a brand new one, againts that faulty one .
    Now the new one worked well for 3 - 4 days , but it is now totally dead .
    But the set did not give any indication before it become completely dead.
    A few dust particles inside the LCD screen was also observed. I can`t understand how come dust particles can enter inside
    a player which is sealed box pack .
    Next issue is with the battery which CREATIVE promised of giving a backup of approx 20 hrs of continious playback , which with minimal scuffling and with minimal settings lasted for 0 hrs approx ( 50% less than promised ).
    Another thing that i must state is the problem of FM Reception . It is simply terrible . In the same area where my mobile's FM reception is fine , Zen Stone's FM failed to give any reception .
    I came to know about Zen Stone Plus from of my friend , who is using Zen Stone Plus GB without any problem for long time.
    Pls tell me what to do now, since my player is compleately out of order now , and pls suggest me something regarding the issue of battery backup , FM reception ... etc.
    Now i am in a total mess . I just dont know what to do with the set that is few days old .
    Pls help urgently .
    Waiting for any valued suggestion .
    Bye ...

  • Zen Stone Plus 4GB - Problems with Sp

    Hi, I have a new Zen Stone Plus Player.
    According to the Creative Audio CD Ripper, I have . GB of free space left, and yet it tells me there is no space when I try to rip a CD.
    Let me stress, that I have not put my music files etc. in the root directory, they are all in a sub directory called Music.
    Within that subfolder, there are 27 further sub-folders, containing 57 mp3 files between them. Thus, the FAQ is of no help to me.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Can the Zen Stone Plus coexist with iTun

    I am a runner and I am interested in the Zen Stone Plus. I use iTunes and various iPods. How would the Zen software coexist with iTunes.
    Most of the music in my library is from?my own CD's?and not from the iTunes Store. Thank you. Bob Michiel?

    Yes, the softwares can co-exists with each other. However the iTunes would not work with the Zen Stone Plus.

  • ZEN Stone Plus 4GB is terrible, I throw mine a

    I bought one, but it has problem charging its battery to the full. I use my PC usb port to charge it. Everytime it will charge up to just 0% of the battery and the led status indicate it is full and the player becomes very hot.
    I sent it for repair twice and the staffs said it is not faulty. They suggest I should may creative charger, because using PC usb port is the fault. What is this? You state in your manual and package that I can charge with PC usb port, now you want me to spend another $30 for the charger?

  • Zen Stone Plus Firmware Wishl

    I have a Zen Stone Plus 4GB and I think it's a really nice and sexy device, but is lacking a bit on the software side. With just a few small firmware modifications, I think Creative could make it a much greater player.
    I'm starting a wishlist for a future firmware. The list is sorted by priority, with the (imo) most important item on top. If you have any additions, please post them and I'll include them into the list.
    I hope Creative's developers will have a look at this list and implement these suggestions!
    Improve music browser speed
    Problem: Browsing through the folders feels very slow, and often it even misses button presses so I have to press left or right twice to go to the previous / next item. This is most likely because the player starts playing the first track in the folder automatically, which slows down the user interface.
    Suggested solution: I suggest the ability to turn off auto-play in the file browser.
    Avoid embarrassing situations
    Problem: Usually I turn on the player before plugging in the headphones. The player realizes that the headphones aren't yet plugged in and plays back music over the speaker, which isn't desirable when I'm in a lecture that isn't over yet.
    Suggested solution: Make auto-play on turn-on an option or add an option to not enable the speaker when the headphones aren't plugged in.
    Quick Hold
    Problem: I want to put the player into my pocket and want to quickly turn on the hold feature. For this, I need to press: Menu, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Menu.
    Suggested solution: Add "enable lock" as an option for the "My Shortcut" button.
    Quicker turn on
    Problem: When I turn on the player, I have to hold down the menu button for 4 - 0 seconds (it seems to be random) before the display even lights up.
    Suggested solution: Make it turn on after one second.
    Pocket usability
    Problem: I'm listening to music with the player in my pocket. I want to skip forward to the next track. I press the forward button, but nothing happens the first time, because the first button press disables the screensaver. I press it again and it skips to the next track.
    Suggested solution: Make it skip to the next track when the forward button is pressed the first time.

    Tag support: the ability to select music by album/artist/track instead of folders
    Display always on option - i know its to help save battery life but sometimes it would be helpful if the display stayed on
    Display artist and song name, inst4ead of just the song name/file name
    Alarm clock function: my Zen stone plus has a speaker, and a clock function. My Zen Xtra has a clock and an alarm clock function but no speaker other than headphones (if any are plugged in) for the alarm to sond through, the same is true with my visio:M? the Zen Stone plusw/speaker has a clock but no alarm, and if anything it would make a fantastic little alarm clock with a 'sound' to music or wsound to beep? function.

  • Problems with Zen Stone Plus & Vi

    Hi - can anyone help please?
    I have a Zen Stone Plus 4gb which works fine on my friends pc runing windows xp but when I use it on mine running vista it recognises it in device manager but shows there's nothing on it despite there being various songs/audio books on, so can't drag & drop other items to/from it.
    The player seems to crash when plugged into my pc & I have to keep resetting it, even when I'm only trying to charge it up.
    The player is fine on an xp pc - it seems vista is the problem. I've gone back to an xp pc to download the latest firmware which it seemed to do ok but still doesn't work on my vista pc.
    Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you sort it out?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks, Sue

    Have you installed the Creative Mass Storage Driver .07.00.250 (3.24 MB)?

  • Zen stone plus no longer wo

    Hello all! I've been very happy with my Zen Stone Plus (2GB) until suddenly it doesn't work. It seems to charge ok but turning it on, the "CREATIVE" starting logo just stays on the screen forever (until the battery runs out I presume). When connected by USB, if I double click on the player's icon in My Computer the explorer window crashes.
    My first thought was to update the firmware (I've never done this before) but on the creative website I cannot see my exact product supported (closest matches are Zen Stone Plus with built-in speaker and Zen Stone Plus (4GB)).
    What should I do? Thanks for your time.

    At the?BOTTOM of the page where you found the other Zen Stone products, it will say something such as click here, if your product or player isn't shown. That will take you to the page you need.
    When you are on the correct page be sure to click at the bottom of that page to show the entire list of firmwares and software available. Creative is very good at hiding things and you have to read carefully. Skimming the pages while reading?doesn't work to your advantage
