About the Zen: Vision M 30gb

im very dissapointed in the creative mp3 players. i brought one last month was inpressed with it, that it played my music well. battery good on it and the sound is great, then i thought Oooo it would be nice to get a docking station with speakers on the side.
so here i go down my elecrial shop ( currys, Argos, comet, asda) they all say fits ipods, mp3 player.i was like ok cool
So take my mp3 player with me to see if thy fit in the docking, ohhh no. none of them fit, there all FIT IPODS!!! OH **bleep** GOD (sorry about that)
even tho on the packaging it says fits all mp3, Well hellllloooo it dont, only fits ipods.
so got me mad as it be nice to have bit music in back ground playing games or chatting etc...
so i was thinking here i am wasted nearly £100 pounds on a mp3 player and no docking station with speaker that fits it..
only want a small,stylish good price, for my mp3..
would be Really good help if some one out there to help me... all the ones i've seen in the shops dont fit zen m
thanks x

Hi, there is a dock for the Zen Vision M, i just bought one from the Creative site, but they are very very hard to get hold of. Here is a link to the website, just keep returning to this page every couple of days and you might get lucky. Be warned they cost ?50, but? sound AMAZING.

Quiestion about the Zen Vision M Tv feat

what the heck is that litle "TV" tab under VIDEOS menu in the Zen Vision M for?
please answer, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For TV shows, Like if you had some in your WMP library, they would/should go there. Obviously no need to put emphasis on Videos, since it's obvious it's for tv related videos, and not an actual tv tuner.

Accessories that come as standard with the Zen Vision: M 30gb.

Hi,?This may be a silly question, but do headphones come as standard with the Zen Vision: M? The only reason I ask is because I know it isn't standard to get?a charger. Also, there is an option to buy an accessories pack which has a charger but also has earphones. It is possible that these earphones are just better than the ones included but I thought it better to ask the silly question before I buy ?Thanks

Quesiton about the Zen Vision Mi

Hi there, my question is about the actually dimension of the video. Let's say you had like some anime that you wanted to watch and it was avi format. Could I just upload it too the vision and it would play it at a shrinked size, or would I have to download a program to convert it to smaller dimensions?

it will play at an adjusted size on the vision:m. i just drag and drop all my movies regardless the resolution.

Can someone answer these lovely question about the Zen Vision: M plz

I know we don't know much yet, so from what what we know, can someone answer me?
Or can a mod?
. Will it have the same crap firmware in every Zen mp3 player (Sorry to call it that, but it's my personal opinion)? The main reason I changed to an Ipod was the firmware of the Zen Xtra :\. I loved it, loved the sound quality, but then... I have no need for file manipulation on the mp3 player itself, and it presented a problem. All that added crap made you click 6 times just to play one song!
And then you had to add an album to your playlist to get it to play...
After awhile, it drove me nuts... I wanted something simple, I just wanted to play my music, not shuffle thru a bunch of crap to get there!, and went for an Ipod.
I dunno... one of the reasons I'm liking the look of this is that it copies the Ipod firmware. It seems Creative now knows what it's doing... Or does it's Is the copied part only the front, and I would have to click 6 times to play one song? I must know.
2. Will it have all the extras of an Ipod, games, contacts, calender, notes, etc? FM radio is a plus.
3. What is the sound quality on this one?
4. Will this one... have a headphone jack problem while I own it's Don't take this last question seriously... Or do :X

Actually seeing as Creative's firmware came first it would seem Apple copied Creative. The iPod firmware and library manipulation is very similar to the Creative players, having played briefly with an iPod.
Also you talked before about the difficulty with queuing a track, but couldn't describe a better system. Can you explain how the iPod makes it easier? I don't see any way Creative can make it quicker. You need to access the album/artist, then press the play button. Job done.
2. Will it have all the extras of an Ipod, games, contacts, calender, notes, etc? FM radio is a plus.
I doubt games and notes, we've never had anything like this to-date.
A Mod or owner can tell you for sure of course.
3. What is the sound quality on this one?
SnR is allegedly 97dB. Of course the subjecti've sound quality is one for the users to debate when there are shipping and several folks here at least have one. I doubt a Mod can tell you anything different.
4. Will this one... have a headphone jack problem while I own it's Don't take this last question seriously... Or do :X
If Creative haven't learned their lesson from the Micro and Xtra, well...

Newbie question about the Zen Vision M, uploading D

If I want to put one of my DVD movies on the Zen, is this easy to do? How long does it take?

I'm afraid we cannot allow discussion on how to rip/copy protected DVDs.
I'll leave this thread open for now in case anyone has other (legal) information to add, but any information on ripping protected will be removed.

Two questions about the Zen Vision:M (30

Just a couple of questions...
. When I'm ripping CDs to the player, sometimes it doesn't finish - the last song doesn't go on. I've gotten around this by ripping the song to my computer and then onto the player from there, but it's just a bit annoying. Is there any reason that this should happen and what can I do?
<strike>2. Is there any way to edit the tag information of a group of songs together once they're on the player? Change the genre of an entire album, for example. I'm sure I was able to do it before, but I can't any more.</strike> - Ignore this one, got it! Duh!Message Edited by eruanna on 02-25-200706:5 AM

Try putting the music on your player using windows media player

ZEN Vision:M 30GB Battey not recharg

Has any one else?had any issues with the battery not recharging on the ZEN Vision:M 30GB. The battery Icon does even show that is?recharging. Any suggestions?I emailed Creative Lab support and they told me this below!?All ZEN MP3 players (except ZEN Nano and ZEN Plus) have a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery. You can charge your MP3 player by connecting it to
the power adapter (if included with your player), or by connecting it
to
a powered USB port on your PC.
When a MP3 player has not been used or charged over a long period of
time, it can take up to 60 minutes for the charging icon to appear when
it is being charged

Mine is doing that too... I had to send my other one in because it lost power and so they sent me this one, and I have a power adapter for the wall, which for as?long as I left in on there (4 hours) it should be showing some charge, but nothing.Right now, its?"charging" from my computer and I'm importing videos to it, so hopefully it shows something.

Creative Zen Vision M (30gb) - Is it the end?

Hi all,
I've read a lot of posts and think the only way to find a possible solution to my problem is to just post it....
I've had my Creative Zen Vision M (30gb) for about?2.5 years, apart from crashing a few times, I've always loved it and would never go near Ipod!
Lately however it's done something, that it has done before which is to suddenly 'remove' about 2000 tracks, it would go funny, crash and reset a few times, recharge with the plug and it was fine again, the tracks 'reappeared'.
Now it seems when it happened this recent time, 3000 tracks went and I was left with about 000. So i tried formatting everything cause it just wouldn't rectify itself, then I chose to reload the firmware but everytime I tried to connect it to my laptop it would say my player wasn't connected.
I have recently baught a new laptop with Windows 7 and even without the software it detects it fine and I think I could just drag music over to it now. BUT - It only has 50mb of memory! Plsu MP3 Recovery Tool and online detection firmware thingy justy doesn't think my player is connected or says cannot update firmware on windows 7?
So my questions?are - how do i fix it's Is my memory fried, would it be worth getting out the old laptop? Where do i go if i want to repair it's Even if it detects it in XP, the software doesn't detect the player.
Can anyone shine any light here? Am I forced to buy another Creative product or do I jump ship?

If the XP computer has WMP installed it may not detect the player (the firmware file) It works best on XP /SP2 WMP0 installed. The issue with WMP is a sticky in the MP3 players forum.

Zen Vision:M 30GB recognition problems...Big t

Hi, 2 days ago i ran into a problem with my Zen. I had to charge it, as the battery was low and had to put some new music on it.. I plugged it into the USB port on my Laptop, where all of it's software is installed. The Zen wasn't recognized. Instead of the charging screen it normally started up with, it started up with the play screen(the screen it shows when a song is playing). I looked at the battery icon in the top right corner, and it wasn't doing anything. I turned the Zen off and started it up again. Nothing changed. I restarted my computer. Nothing changed. I shut down my computer and started it back up again. Nothing changed.
I took it to my desktop computer, a Compaq, and tried it there. It worked, but not how i was expecting it to work. The battery icon started flashing with the little lightning bolt, acknowledging that it was charging. But the play screen was still there. The odd thing with this is, i left the player to charge for several hours. When i came back, the Zen was in some form of idle shut-down. The screen was black, except for the battery icon with the lightning bolt. Oddly enough, he battery bar hadn't filled up anymore than when i left it. Upon unplugging the player though, the Zen turned off. When i turned it back on, the bar had filled up more. It wasn't fully charged though.
I plugged the cable back into it, and this time, the battery icon WASN'T charging. It just had the play screen on. It wasn't doing ANYTHING this time. Frustrated, i went out and bought the wall charger, and now i have a full battery. But it doesn't solve why my computer won't recognize my player.
Today, i un-installed the software that came with the player and re-installed it. It didn't do anything. I installed the software on my desktop computer, and THAT didn't work either. So i came to the website here and used the trouble-shoot guide. That didn't help, and this is where my problem differs from the other posters here who have recognition problems:
Back to my laptop: I have Windows Service Pack 2. I installed Windows Media Player . I went to the Device Manger, like the trouble-shoot guide said to. The kicker: Windows Portable Devices is NOT, i repeat NOT in my Device Manager. Neither does the Creative player either. I clicked on "The player does not appear in Device manager". That link showed me a diagram of a desktop computer, so went back to my desktop computer. I did everything above mentioned, and Windows Portable Devices is not in the device manager of my desktop computer either. Further reading the trouble-shoot guide, i could NOT locate "Other Devices" or "Unknown Devices" in my Device Manger on either desktop or laptop. There's nothing "Creative" related or "Zen" related at all in any of the Device programs.
I don't know what to do. All of the trouble-shoot guides don't discuss my issue at all. Everything is "If an MP3 player is reported working properly in Device Manager, but it is not detected or listed in Windows Media Player or Creative Media Explorer..."
Mine isn't even detected in Device Manager. My Device Manager has nothing regarding my Zen or Windows Portable Devices.
I'm thinking about messing with it in Recovery mode, but i don't want to erase everything i have on here, just to have my player still not work. I'm going to try messing with this at my friend's house to check the cable and the player there too.
But any help regarding my situation would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy.

I tried my uncle's Zen Vision: M 30GB on my laptop and strange things happened. My laptop recognized the player as an unknown device and said i needed to install the MTP driver. I did that, and upon doing so, my laptop recognized my Uncle's player as a Portable device, allowing me to transfer songs to his player. But it STILL doesn't recognize MY player. Email support says i have to send it in for repairs, but i don't know...
Any luck with you?

Hi, I stopped using this MP3 for about 2 or so years because I bought a new one. I decided to start using it again and downloaded all the required software but as soon as I unplugged the MP3 from the power outlet, the player died. I can't get it to start up without plugging it into a power outlet. I think it has rechargable battery? Why didn't it recharge itself?
My second enquiry is about the capacity of the player. When my player was empty, I went into "Information" and it said Total Space: 28GB and Free Space: 2GB. Why is free space only 2GB? Shouldn't it be 28 as well?
Thanks in advance!
The battery will only last about 3yrs regardless of use.You will need to change it. Did you scroll down to see the album,picture,track counts? Did you partition part of the dri've for removable storage.

Zen Vision M 30GB Problems

Zen Vision M 30GB Problems? I have a used Zen Vision M 30 GB. I have?a few questions, along with some problems.
My player has to "rebuild" at least twice a day, is that normal?
When a song is playing, is the song name, length of song, etc supposed to be displayed?
Now the major problem:
I can not get either my laptop or desktop to recognize my player.
On the desktop (Windows XP?SP3)?it seems to constantly refresh the Device Manager as an MTP device. while it continues to do this I can see the device is giving me a Code 0.
On the laptop (Windows Vista) it searches for a driver, but the search fails. It does not continuously refresh, but still gives me the same "Code 0 This device can not start" message.
On both computers it says "Docked" on the player when plugged in and also charges.
The player plays well once it makes it through the "Rebuilding" stage.
I thought about formatting it, but?I was not sure that would do any good with this problem. Plus there was a lot of music left on the player from the previous owner that I rather like.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,? Thanks

No rebuilding that often if not normal. You seem to be having symptoms of hardri've issues. Now have you done a cleanup>reboot on the player?CHARGE PLAYER BEFORE DOING THIS? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3? That may help with the constant need to rebuild(kinda like defragging the dri've) Use a REAR usb port when connecting to the computer & try using a different usb cable. DO NOT CHOOSE RELOAD FIRMWARE ON THE RECOVERY MENU

Zen Vision M 30gb Prob

I have a relati'vely new Zen Vision M 30gb player, which as of today stopped working.
It will not turn on, will not charge or interface with the computer. When plugged into the computer a blue light flashes at the top of the player, and the same occurs when attempting to turn on. I have tried recovery mode to no avail and the resets do naught.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

No helping me. I just got mine about 5 weeks ago and its been working great. I charged it overnight last night to take to the gym and it didn't work. So I though that maybe the outlet I charged it on was popped or something. I verified that it worked. I plugged it in again and I have the blue light, but I just chekced and the battery meter barely had a line, and that was after 7 hours. I unplugged it and it wouldn't turn on. Any idea. I am currently charging it now and there is a blue light again. It just doesn;t seem to hold a charge

Zen Vision M 30GB is stuck in Recovery Mode

Hi, I have a Zen Vision M 30GB that is stuck in Recovery Mode. I have tried ' Cleaning ', ' Formatting ' and ' Reload Firmware ' but none of my 3 computers in which it was previously used recognise the device. The computers have Win Xp Home, Win xP Pro and Win 7 Pro, 64-bit. I could get it to connect once to my Win 7 and I set the firmware down to .4 ( I think), as I have read that latest Firmware .20 does not recognise some of the new batteries with 400 mAh and 700mAh batteries. I have tried the MP3 Recovery Tool, Creative Wizard tool but none work. Would appreciate any suggestion. I have read extensi'vely the postings about Zen Vision M in the ABIT (anythingbutipod) Forums, but no luck in re-loading the firmware. TIA, MPM

I had installed .4. and in the Recovery Mode, it dispalys v0.0.6. I have Creative Zen Vision M Media Explorer installed in both, my Xp Home desktop and Xp Pro ( not 64-bit) in my laptop. I will check which version of WMP is installed in my Xp systems.
On many occasions, all 3 computers (including Win & Pro 64-bit) signalled ' Un-recognised USB Device many times but now nothing happens and I can operate the touch pad of the Zen even when it is connected to the computers !!

Creative ZEN Vision:M 30gb, Can't dock it....tried everything....Help

Hello , Is there someone out there who knows alot about docking this Zen Vision:M 30GB. I have tried everything by Creative support. I've been working on it for over a month now. The player works fine but when I plug it in to my PC. Nothing happens. I have all updates and I have Windows XP pro. It seems like a driver issue. My Little Zen V has no problem docking, It docks fast , 2seconds everthing opens up nicely. ??????thanks for taking the time to read and write....Message Edited by Wasssupdutch on 03-26-200702:53 PM

Have you solved the problem? If so how? My VM has docked perfectly until I upgraded from USB to USB2. Every other USB device works fine but PC no longer sees the VM. The new hardware wizard pops up and demands a driver and isn't satified by the installation CD. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success. Anybody any clues?Thanks.
