Buying a MP3 player want Creative - h

I am 63 and want to buy a MP3 player - friends have suggested Creative. Here is what I need it for and maybe you can give advise. I know nothing about them. I have problems with my eye sight and love to read so friends of mind in same circumstance use the MP3 to download free books and listen while they do crafts, housework etc, during senior citizens meetings etc. So it will be books not music I download. Need easy to operate, long playing battery, ease of recharging, size is not that important just that I can carry around with me and use a headset. I am on SS, Help.

Mp3 Player not detected in Vista ,I need drivers for Creative Zen Micro in Windows Vista 32-b

Hi ,?Im trying to install my Creative Zen Micro in windows Vista , But A Compatibility Problem appear and i can't install it .Windows Show me that a new hardware is found? and what i have to do , i Install it with the CD , but The installation can't be successful and a message saying me i have to contact Creative Support for the dirvers appear and the installation can't be completed. I've tryied to contact creative suport , but they don't find solution . I've searched the drivers but they wasn't found in creative site web . If anybody Have a solution for install my zen micro or can help me , please ... I have to buy another Mp3 Player ? This have a solution ?Thanks ,i hope that you can help me. Regards

I updated my Firmware as stated by Creative Labs support team. I downloaded on my son's PC which has Window's XP Pro edition. Again, on his PC there is no problem with recognition of the device and/or player. However, when I plug my player into my PC which has Vista, the device manager has a "!" next to ZEN Micro Photo. So my PC "See's" the player. However, when you right click and then go to "Properties" it states that "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" Then it states to "reinstall the drivers" But when I tried to install or reinstall the "Driver" using the install wizard, I get an error message... "An error occurred during the installation of the device" and " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" Then a pop bubble appears and says "Found new hardware" You may have a problem with your device. It may not be working properly" So what do I do at this point. The only way for me currently to download music is to use my son's PC. At least I have another option... I feel sorry for the rest of you. When will creative wake up and smell the Vista!!

Buying MP3 Player & Video Camera. Help please? :)

Hello, I am preparing to buy an MP3 player and a video camera. I was thinking of picking up an iPod Nano since it seems to have a little bit of everything. However, I have also read that the Nano's camera is awkward to use because of where its lense is actually located. I have limited use of my right hand, so anything that is going to make something more difficult then it already is may not be such a great idea. Anyone use / used the Nano's camera? Is it a decent starting point for someone who has never used any type of video camera before? If the iPod Nano is not an appropriate option for me then I need to choose a different MP3 player, as well as a different means for taking video footage. Since this is the MP3 Player forum, I will focus on (primarily) getting advice about MP3 Players here. What do I want an MP3 player for? -- Going on walks -- Listening to while in the car (I do not drive) -- Listening to while on trips If I do not go with a Nano, I am not sure whether I would want an MP3 player that deals with video (playing it; not recording it) or not. I am kinda leaning both for it and against it. PROS: -- Being able to take short videos with me, either others or ones that I have made to show family / friends -- If I decide to get something with video that is not the Nano then screen size & quality become viable considerations due to somewhat lacking vision. -- If I got something that did video I would likely use it moreso for short clips and anime / cartoons then I would for movies (this has a lot to do with the above-stated vision issues) CONS: --- Getting something that will do video and be worth having is expensive -- Taking a walk with something that does video is likely not the brightest of ideas -- I do not travel a lot and my PC monitor is a 37" LCD HDTV. -- The burnt orange Nano looks cool. (Not practical, but at least its honest.) At any rate, any advice or suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks for your time.

Let's get an MP3 player headphone/earbud discussion going

I am shocked to see how little use this little slice of this great forum is. As we all know, the earbuds that typically accompany any stock MP3 player are usually sub-standard, at best. Often they are terrible. Occaisionly they are passable, and once in a blue moon they are great. It always amazes me that MP3 player companies, Creative included, don't realize that they could really push their players over the top by adding a good set of buds. In fact, Sony has just done this. One of their new MP3 players is being shipped with a higher end set of Sony earbuds that typically go for $70 all by themselves. CNET is raving about the player, particulary how it is one of the only players out there that sounds fantastic "out of the box". And now I'm starting to see discussions on the CNET MP3 player forums comparing that particular Sony to the new ZEN with lot's of people leaning to the Sony just because it does not require a new set of buds to really bring out the quality of the music.
Now we all know that a lot of people are clueless when it comes to this aspect. It amazes me the people who will spend $500 on a high-end MP3 player and then not bother to replace the crappy buds that come bundled with it (cough, cough, iPod, cough). If you fall into this category do yourself a favor and go out and try some quality buds or headphones for your MP3 player. You'll be quite astounded how much more you'll enjoy listening to your music. As with any audio device, you'll have to pay for that quality. But quality can be found in everyone's budget. CNET is a great place to start and learn. You'll be happy to know that Creative's Aurvana buds are highly rated in their price category and quite frankly, the next time Creative releases a new higer-end product, say the ZEN 32 GB due out in first quarter 2008 (or so I've read), they would be super smart to include a nice set of these buds with that player even if it means bumping the price a bit and eating some profit.
I recently bought my fifth Creative product, the 16 GB ZEN. It's a great player. Not perfect, but certainly a top contender in the high-cap flash-based MP3 player market. As always, the included buds were passable. So I embarked upon a search for the perfect set of headphones and/or buds in my price range.
I set my price range between $100 and $150. That's a ton of money for some, nothing for others. I was pleasantly surprised with what is out there. Here is what I found, what I tried, what I thought, what I kept, and what went back. I am somewhat limited in my testing by the fact that I pretty much just use Best Buy. While I really don't like the store, the one good thing they have is a 30-day money back return policy. So I can just keep trying headphones and returning them to try others until I find the ones I like.
The first thing I tried was pair of Bose full around ear (AE) TriPort headphones. CNET has called these the poor-man's QuietComfort 2's, a noise-canceling Bose product highly rated by CNET. The TriPorts are great phones, light weight, and great sounding. Best Buy price is$140. Great audio quality and they block out most regular outside noise. The downside, for me at least, is my ears tend to sweat after extended listening. I still have these and will keep them. My daughter liked them so much she's getting a pair for Christmas although she doesn't know it yet. These are better for your ears because they don't pipe music directly into the canal and are less likely to cause any damage to hearing.
The next thing I tried was a set of Bose on ear (OE) TriPorts. These are pretty much the same drivers as the AE's but they sit comfortably on the ear instead of around them. The upside is that they don't sweat as much. Downside is, if you're a woman (or a guy) who wears earrings they can be less comfortable because they press on the earrings. The audio quality is much same, ie: great, as the AE models but not quite as good. The sound isolation is also surprisingly good. I like the design of these phones much better too. They have a single cord design (the AE's have a dual cord) and the cord is modual. I love short cords as I just keep my player in a shirt pocket so a long cord is just a drag, pun intended. The OE models also come with a much nicer, hard case, the AE's just come with a cloth bag. The phones fold up smaller and fit into the case nicely for storage and transport. The real downside to these phones, the price: $180. While the cord design and case are nice touches they really don't (to me anyway) justify the extra $40. That said, I still have these phones too as I like them for work for the short cord. The jury is still out as to whether or not I'll keep them.
Next up I tried the Sure SE210 earbuds, actually ear canal phones. These are pricey at $150 but for Shure products that's actually just a step up from entry level! I thought it would be good to have a nice set of quality buds for those times when I don't want to walk around with headphones on. The Shure's are raved about on CNET. I was not impressed. The sound was just okay and I really don't like things sticking IN my ear canals for long periods of time. It just get's painful for me. The Shure's do come with the 'comfort pack' which has several different styles and sizes of tips to maximize comfort but I just couldn't see them getting enough use to justify the price. They went back.
Next up was the Bose TriPort earbuds. These got a mediocre review over at CNET but I thought since I'd tried the other two in the line I'd give these a go. They are $99 at BB. These are not ear canal phones and are not meant to into the ear and form a tight seal. They sounded very good and were very comfortable. But they just didn't feel stable. I move around at work a lot an they always felt like they were going to fall out and the quality and level of music would change with the movement. They went back.
Last up, the Shure SE110 earbuds. Again, these are ear canal phones meant to go into the ear canal and form a seal for maximum bass and sound. I bought these on a whim. They are $99 at BB. They pretty much sound just like the SE210's to me - I'm not sure what the difference was supposed to be. CNET gives these a decent review and recommends them in their price point range. I tried them at work and was going to take them right back. But I've been unable to get them back for a few days so I tried them again last night. I finally found a set of the 'comfort pack' tips that fit me best, the small rubber ones, and I can wear them for longer periods of time without as much discomfort. And when in the ear with a good seal they sound pretty good, much better than any stock earbud, but not as good as the Bose AE or OE phones.
So the jury is out on these ones. I'm thinking they'll go back. It seems you have to go up to the SE310's to get a really good bud from Shure but that's up around $200 to $250, a bit more than I'll spend for now at least. If I end up taking the SE110's AND the Bose OE TriPort's back than I'd have enough to try out a pair but our BB doesn't sell them so I'd have to find another local or online dealer with a nice return policy. Online sucks because of course you have to send them back and pay shipping. Much easier to just go to a counter!
If you've really got a ton of money, I hear the new Shure SE530's are nothing short of fantasic - or so says CNET. I'd love to try a set but at$450 to $500 a set that's not going happen any time soon. I might just go back to BB and try a bunch of lower end stuff in the $50 to $100 range and see if anything in that price point range blows my mind.
Anyhow, I thought his forum was sadly lacking and thought I'd at least give a good post to get it going. If any of you have done this type of testing, or just have a great set of buds or headphones you use, please share your opinion's here. Let's get this rock rolling down the hill!

Hi methos1979,
This forum has only just been created, all the other forums have been on the board much longer, so we should hopefully see more posts appearing here.
While I appreciate and understand the intention of the thread, this is not a suitable place to discuss non-Creative products. This forum was intended for discussion of Creative headphones, headsets and earphones.

Help! My MP3 player Died and I'm trying to recover my song

Hi Guys, I don't know if you'll be able to help me but I thought it was worth a shot.
I had a pretty ancient MP3 player (The creative Nomad Jukebox Zen USB 2.0). It basically stopped working (it wouldn't switch on or charge). However it had all my songs on it which i'm trying to gett off the hard drive and put onto my computer.
I've taken out the hard drive and I've put it in a little hard drive case that i bought off Ebay which i connected to my PC via USB. It seems to be recognising it as a USB mass storage device but when i go into My computer there is no additional drive. Below are the details of what I am using
My MP3 player

The hard drive Case
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:MEWN:IT&ih=09
Any help is much appreciated

your best option would be to find a replacement player, and swap the hardri'ves.
One of the things i've seen countless times on here and other forums are people desparatly trying to find a way to rescue their music as they only have it stored on thier mp3 player/portable device.
With hard dri'ves being relativly cheap, as well as other storage methods it seem odd that people rely on portable devices as their only storage for their digital files.
It doesnt matter how well you may 'look after' yourt mp3 player, at the end of the day ts a portable devices, and will be subjected to some knocks and bumps along the way as well as a multitude of other risks ( ie accidentaly dropping it down the toilet, spilling beer in/on it and so on)
All of my Music is backed up on my P.Cs main hard dri've, and everything on my P.Cs hard dri've ( including the music) is all backed up onto an external USB hard dri've that is stored in another location to my P., also i have another back up on DVD RW of my music files.
Hard disks are cheap, as are adaptors/caddys to plug them into a USB socket, DVD RW media is cheap, your data files are irreplacebale, make sure that you have a back up[ of your stuff.

Mp3 Player as

Hey guys whats up? I'm new here, how you can tell....
I am going to a trip, and I have a digital camera, but not enough memory in it, so I was thinking about buying a MP3 Player and use as a HD, I know it is possible but.. Do I have to have a laptop with me? Or can I do this directly from the camera!?
Thanks a lot!

The one caveat is be VERY CAREFUL about using an MP3 player as the single source for your photos. I've noticed some places allow you to download your camera data to a CDR, which is probably a safer option, especially if you can do two copies.

Why can't i buy a creative mp3 player in a normal retail sto

i find it really rather disturbing that creative mp3 players are not more widely available in normal retail stores. i li've in one of the top 0 major metropolitan cities in the USA and i go into my local best buy and all they have is a 5GB micro, a 20GB xtra, and a 20GB(?) touch. why is that all they have? if i want a MUVO, i'm screwed. meanwhile that same best buy has every style, size, and color of all the ipod crap and a million accessories (bleh) but NOTHING for creative. the only micro they have is the black one, and only in the 5GB size. i go to another place like Staples, and they have the muvo TX, no micros.
I go next door the the compusa, they've got a full lineup of all the ypod crap, nothing from creative.
i find it really irritating when one wants to say, buy a player for a friend and cannot find what they are looking for. makes it real easy to buy the freaking ypods. ugh.

hey blood, you're completely missing my point... I KNOW i can order them online at a million places.
the poster that said they don't want to compete with prices, that's insane. there would be NO STORES anywhere if stores were really afraid of that. internet prices are lower for EVERYTHING.
my point is i guess, why don't stores stock more stuff from creative (other then soundblaster stuff)? the answer to my own question is probably that creative stuff does not sell as well as ipod stuff.
the reason i say this is a friend of mine was heading out of town and was interesting in getting an mp3 player for the trip so i suggested he might look into the new creative MIX thingy but we everywhere we looked they had nothing, so the dolt ended up getting an ipod shuffle. oh well. we lost another one due to players just not being in the stores. sad!
I bought my zen micro from a retail store.. In canada. In holland in the one electronics store they have the touch,3 colors of micro, 2 muvo players, and a Xtra. They only had the ipod mini...

If i only want a 1gb mp3 player, isn't it better to get the u10 over the zen v pl

all i really need is gb mp3 player that can watch some video clips, wouldn't i get the same audio quality and such for a cheaper price if i go for the u0? i mean what does the zen v plus gb have over the gb u0? and cnet gives both of them the same rating (8.3)

well, neither one will work if you want to watch video. The only mp3 players that creative have that can watch video are the Zen Vision and the Zen Vision M. And both of those come in much larger sizes that you want (both have 30gb hd's). I recomend getting a Zen Vision, because it is much easier to get videos on mp3 players when you have plent of space (don't have to move around files to get it all fit in exactly gb.)
But if you don't want video, I say go with the Zen V because it is a new mp3 player, tiney, has great sound and screen quality, and is just overall sweet.
And if you insist having only gb, then go with the u0, because creative doen't have any video players with such small hard dri'ves. Buy you really should look at Creatives Vision series

Creative mp3 player compatibility with PFS car au

I was wondering if the "Plays For Sure" compatible Creative Players will work with the PFS compatible car audio receivers from Kenwood and Alpine. I'm mostly wondering about my Zen Xtra, but I'm sure others would like to know if their players would work also. Is Creative pursuing testing this, or should I just assume that all PFS works with all other PFS?

I purchased music from iTunes, but there is one
problem, I can't play it on my Creative Zen Vision
MP3 player.
Yes, you are right.
I even burned a CD with
the music, and it won't play on my car stereo??
You must burn a CD-Audio to play it in your home/car stereo.
If you also want to play those songs on your Creative player, once you've done the CD-Audio you can rip it again in MP3.

Which MP3 Player Should I buy?

After using a MP3 player in my clunky 5 year old cell phone for years, I'd like to buy a player. I understand that the I-tunes program that my sister downloaded onto my computer, along with her songs will only play on an Apple I-Pod. Does that mean I have to buy an I-Pod, or can I use her songs on a different MP3 player? Is the quality the same for the different brands? I wouldn't be a fan of the monopoly that Apple has if I can avoid it. I just want something light to use for excercise, perhaps a Nano or Sony with 16 GB or so.
Thanks

Nokia is correct the iTunes files are in .m4a format. However you can easily right click on the song in iTunes and select "Create ___ Version". I left that blank in there because iTunes has different conversion options like convert it to mp3, acc, apple lossless, wav or aiff. I should also note this will not affect the original song. It will just make a second copy of it with one being the original in .m4a format and the second being in whatever format you selected.

A Creative Zen MP3 Player which can work on Windows 2

Hi,
I am wanting to get a Creative Zen MP3 player (or two) which can work with Microsoft Windows 2000. I want to put a number of podcasts on it as well as some music. Unfortunately my PCs are all Windows 2000 and it is not worth my while upgrading.
Now I think that some of the Creative Zen Micro units used to work on 2000. But later versions after firmware upgrades only work on XP. How can I get the right working units?

You can try to get some old Zen players.All new Zen players need at least Windows XP to work and sometimes even the last service pack. If you know that the Zen Micro works on Windows 2000 with a previous firmware, I think that you can find easily on the web this firmware or simply ask to Creative.

What makes creative mp3 player diff from the othe

I know creative sounds better than other players but what is it that makes it better?
As far as my little knowledge is concerned, the thing that matters the most is SNR. Zen is 98db whereas iRi'vers are 95 and ipods are around 90. Am I correct?
I am in the market for a new MP3 player. I have owned a zen before but I am not able to convince myself to get another zen. Now I need a new one.
I am looking at zen micro but not sure if the headphone problem still persists with creative players.
What are the new players in the market?
Anyone heard about gigabeat from Toshiba? Any new players with comparable sound quality?

Those features and the fact that iTunes is like the surburban shopping mall of music. I wanted to be able to download the wild blue yonder, so I never even considered and ipod.
