Can't rip to MP3 format using Creative Audio CD Rip

ALL the documentation says I can choose a format besides WMA. Except when I get to the dialogue box where I can change settings, Creative provides me a LINK that "explains MP3 formats."
And what does clicking that link get me
"You have reached an outdated page."
Okay, the honeymoon's over.
Documentation is just downright bad, support is minimal (I mean, really, EMAIL ), and some things that should be simple and intuiti've (like ripping a CD track to MP3 format) just aren't. This is my first, last, and ONLY Creative product I'm throwing any money at. When this things dies, I'm just getting a Sansa. My last Sansa, though a mere 52MB, had REAL documentation and did everything it was supposed to without forcing me to follow dead links or send emails! Switching brands was a huge mistake - one I won't make again.

Can no longer rip to MP3 format - mediasou

Ive been using creative media source ver3 for a few years now, and so far i've never had a problem with ripping CDs to the MP3 format, however since 'upgrading' to version5, the mp3 format option is no longer there, instead theres a message "click to learn about mp3 formats"
clicking on this message takes you to this page, where it says you have to pay US$9.99 to be able to rip to mp3 format again.
When i origanaly purchased my Zen Xtra, the ability to rip CDs to mp3 was included with the product as an integral part of the mdeia source software, seing as i've already paid for it ( as a part of my inital purchase) how can i get it back?

Hi everyone,
Please check the version number of your Creative MediaSource software. If you have a Creative MediaSource version of 2.0.0 or greater (prior to 5.x), ripping to MP3 format is supported. Upgrading to the latest version will not impact this functionality even if you uninstall your older version of Creative MediaSource after you have installed Creative MediaSource 5.x.
However if you have a Creative MediaSource version that is older than version 2.0.0, you are recommended not to uninstall your older version of Creative MediaSource even though you have already installed Creative MediaSource 5.x so as to continue to have the rip, record and convert to MP3 functionality in Creative MediaSource 5.x.
Hope this information is useful.

Can WMA files be burned into Cd format using Creative Media Sour

If so - using what version. I have recently had to "back track" my instsallation to version 00.2 in order to get everything to run properly. But this version does not support conversion of WMA files to the cda foramt.
Thanks

Version 00.2?? I have version 3.30.2. Where did you got the 00 version form??I am sure the version 3.30 supports conversion from wma to cda format. Otherwise, use Windows Media Player, or the Creative Audio Converter to convert from wma to mp3, then burn those mp3 with Creative Media Source. To get Creative Media Source 3.30.2 go to the Downloads page and search for it. It is free, the same as Windows Media Player.

How can i records with date format using web services?

Hello
I can't record date records using web services. I get no message errors.
I can import string values but no dates (YYYY-MM-DD). Do you have any clue about that?
Regards
Arturo

hello,
That's the code I'm using to update an opportunity. In the date fields (e.g. dFecha_de_entrega_al_cliente) I've tried to put an specific date in the correct format (If i put it in another format i've got an error message due the wrong format). The CRM accepted the code but it didn't update the values that are different of string.
I don´t know if there is something missing in teh program or if the developer environment is not the adequate.
Regards for your comments

Can't move my mp3 files Using my new asus notebook with window 8 and iTunes 11.0.2 version.

HI,
Need help and advises on why I can't move the converted mp3 files to my iTunes playlist. Was okay with my old dell notebook.
it keep show ' link' when I drag the file to the playlist but can't click in...
please help !!,

Hi rachel65,
From your description, it sounds like you are prompted to "link missing files" when attempting to modify/move certain items. iTunes has lost track of the actual song file that is on your computer, and we'll need to instruct iTunes on where this file is located. The following information will assist you in tracking down these missing files:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads

If you can't find your media, you may be able to download it again if you originally purchased it from the iTunes Store:

QuickTime can play .mp3 files and can edit audio formats but it can't export to .mp3.
Use iTunes for that.

Converting a WMA format to MP3 format

I received some promotional free downloads from a contest and when I downloaded them, they are all wma and I can not get them into my itunes. I click the button that says "convert" when prompted, but then it says it is illegal or something to convert it.

how can i convert a recorded file to a mp3 format using java swings

This project involves I/O, JavaSound/JMF, converting audio formats, GUIs and SPIs. It is best broken down into parts, roughly along those lines.
The fact you would dump your entire project description into a single post (without asking a clear specific question), supports that you are a newbie.
Other notes:
- You get more respect if you take the minimum effort needed to make your post more readable. To do that, add an upper case letter at the start of every sentence.
- It is "Java Swing" not "java swings".
- GUIs are an advanced subject, and you should first get this working from the command line, before ever considering a GUI.

Converting .wav files to mp3 format.

Hi,
I am trying to convert a wav file into mp3 format using the below code. I am not seeing any errors in the console but at the same time the mp3 file is created without any content. Any ideas on how to address this issue ?
Format[] FORMATS = new Format[] { new AudioFormat(
AudioFormat.LINEAR) };
String srcFilePath = "C:" + File.separator + "Users"
+ File.separator + "vkiran" + File.separator + "Desktop"
+ File.separator + "test" + File.separator + "4a714ea2.wav";
String mp3FilePath = "C:" + File.separator + "Users"
+ File.separator + "vkiran" + File.separator + "Desktop"
+ File.separator + "test" + File.separator + "4a714ea2.mp3";
File srcFile = new File(srcFilePath);
File destFile = new File(mp3FilePath);
MediaLocator source = new MediaLocator(srcFile.toURL());
DataSource d = Manager.createDataSource(source);
ContentDescriptor cd = new ContentDescriptor(
FileTypeDescriptor.MPEG_AUDIO);
Processor p = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(new ProcessorModel(d,
FORMATS, cd));
p.configure();
System.out.println((p.getDuration()).getSeconds());
MediaLocator destination = new MediaLocator(destFile.toURL());
DataSource ds = p.getDataOutput();
DataSink sink = Manager.createDataSink(p.getDataOutput(),
destination);
sink.open();
sink.start();
sink.stop();
sink.close();
p.stop();
p.close();

You are converting the WAV files to mp3 format before transferring them to the iPod?
You're using iTunes to do this?
Just for the record, the iPod will not play mp3 files below a bit rate of 32kbps nor will it play compressed WAV files.

Need help removing Creative Audio Control Panel

So I've been trying to get the Creative Consol Launcher to work with my soundcard again and found that in my "Programs and Features" list in windows 7 there is one item of Creative labs software that I can not remove. It is called "Creative Audio Control Panel" and when I attempt to uninstall it it tells me "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallSheild Installation Information\{7E96A7F-AFE3-47-87B-583E37639E8}\SUPPORT.Cab not found."
Whenever I try to use the Creative Console Launcher it tells me "There are no supported audio device[sic] available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now."? I assume it's trying to launch Creative Audio Control Panel which for some reason or other is no longer present on my system but was never properly uninstalled. Also, great work on that error message - seems like Creative needs more proof readers.
In other words it seems the file I need in order to uninstall this broken program is missing - any idea what I should do? I've tried seeing if I can reinstall the program but I can't find any setup file for it online - all I can find is "Creative Console Launcher" which seems to intigrate a launcher feature into volpannel, but since it doesn't have the Creative Audio Control Panel to actualy launch it just gives me error messages if I want to get into my EAX settings or mixer or anything like that. If anyone knows how I can uninstall/reinstlal this program (in windows 7) I'ld be very greatful.

Well I believe I have found a solution to my problem and it is manyfold so here goes.
First off, Creative Customer Support Americas corresponded with me via e-mail and notified me that there are known issues with all PCI cards and Creative Audio Consol in Windows 7 (which is to say they don't work together at all).
After getting this info I removed my SB 0790 card and plugged in another one I had handy - it's still a SB X-FI Xtreme Audio but this one is has a PCIe interface and a digital audio in/out jack on the back to boot - this card is manufactured not by Creative but by MSI (licenced I assume) and came with my motherboard (good thing I had it laying around).
Initialy I had the same issue - even uninstalling everything related to creative and re-installing the hotest newest drivers from the site simply wouldn't resolve the issue. Finaly I downloaded a 3rd party program called CCleaner - a freeware utility that can clean up registry errors and delete items off the program list by force if need be (and it was in this case). I used that to completely eradicate Creative Audio Console and Creative Console Launcher, re-installed the latest drivers and audio pack for the PCIe card, and then even had windows update the driver again after that (the result of which was not a new driver version but it did seem to download and install something - no clue what). After all of that I once again had a functioning version of Creative Audio Consol back on my computer - and now it recognizes that I have a valid card installed and I've got access to all the features I was missing. The interface for Creative Audio Console looks a bit different than it used to (no longer a fake looking stero but instead a fairly plane interface) but whatever it's working and that's what I care about.
Oddly enough with all those installs it never put Volume Panel or Creative Consol Launcher back on my computer, I wound up having to install those off of the MSI card's driver disk to get easy access to the Creative Audio Panel again (otherwise I'd have to either make a shortcut or go straight into the install directory any time I want to launch it - now though I can launch it right through the Volum Panel).
One persistant issue still remains: In my recording audio device list I am still missing: "What U Hear" but it has been this way since I installed Windows 7 for the first time in October when it releaed, and I have given up hope on ever seeing What U hear again - If I want to record from my soundcard I have a 3rd party freeware utility called "Virtual Audio Cables" that are a bit clunky but get the job done.
Conclusion:
Though it may claim on Creative's support page for the SB0790 (Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio) soundcard that the latest drivers support Windows 7 it is abundantly clear that this is NOT the case. You will manage to get audio out of it, but almost no other creative aplication is going to work with your card or even detect that a valid working SB card is installed. It seems the only aplication I could get working relyably was the auto updator (which was able to see I had the card installed) and Volume Panel. By the admission of Creative Customer Support America, however Creative Audio Panel will not work, and I have observed that Creative Consol Launcher does not function properly either. Indeed even plowing through the file system you'll find support only for XP and Vista versions of the drivers - there is no Win7 specific driver for either this card or it's PCIe counterpart.
Also don't expect to have access to the "What U Hear" utility - this goes for the PCIe version of the card as well. As ever, it seems the marketing guys are making claims about the card that can't actualy be backed up, sure it's techincaly illegal, but only if your customers are willing to start a class action lawsuit over a 50 dollar soundcard that sort-of works anyway.
Issue resolved for now - and I am no longer pulling my hair out in frustration.

HT1473 I have songs in iTunes that were loaded from a CD. I want to make them MP3 format so I can use a converter to play MPe files in my wifes car. I plan to use a USB plugin and pass the songs through a cheap FM type converter. Don't want to spend hundr

I copied music from CDs into iTunes on my desktop. I downloaded a lot onto a USB stick. I want to play them in my wife's Toyota Avalon but I must use something like an FM converter and that requires all songs be in MP3 format. How can I reformat the CD songs into MP3 format? Not important enough to buy an iPod Nano!!

"but I must use something like an FM converter and that requires all songs be in MP3 format."
No it doesn't.
An FM converter takes audio and sends it over FM to the radio.
A USB stick does not play audio.
You need something to play the audio (like an iPod) and plug the audio out into the FM converter.

Converting from WAV to MP3 using Creative MediaSou

I am trying to convert from WAV to MP3 using Creative Media Source Version 3.30.35. The program says it is converting the file to MP3 but when it has finished and I examine the properties it still says the file format is WAV. Can anyone shed any light on this, thanks?

It doesn't change the original file - it creates a new file in the new format. Check where your file destination is set to in the Audio Converter screen.

p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

Micky,
The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format. Most Android phones can play AACs. Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
(This conversion does not require burning.)
For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices. You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.
