Cant use Napster to go and zen micro windows explor

If i want to use my napster to go and have to use firmware --02, but if I want to use zen micro win explorer it wont recog. my device so I have to upgrade to firmware -2-05 erasing all my dl songs from napster....what i want to do is use my zen micro to upload cd's I own and use nap to go, not one or the other.....btw I woke up today and my micro is dead no matter what I try....so let me figure that out now.....should I take this back? my battery life is only like 6hrs!!!....anyway i want to like this so if anyone can help me out?

i see a lot of threads about charging the battery.
i sell high end digital cameras, have for 6 years now. i'm not talking the stuff you find at fry's but the really high end stuff.
this stuff also uses proprietary lithium ion batteries (actually the only thing proprietary is the connectors, all cells come from the same manufacturers)
the key to lithium ion batteries is:
) let it charge overnight the first time you charge it
2) it takes about 3 full charges and full drains to get the proper life out of it
3) they dont have memory, ever. i have several abused lithium ion camera batteries that can attest to this
4) replace after 8 months without fail
my point is, don't stress over it. my micro only got about 7 hours of continous playback with eq on and it just sitting there, and not much more with eq off. the player's life on a single charge and constant crashing when switching off are the only reasons why i returned it on sunday for an ipod mini.

  • Creative MediaSource and Zen Micro Explorer Prob

    Now that i have downloaded the latest Firmware my Zen Micro can now be recognised and used with Windows media player however now Creative MediaSource and Zen Micro Explorer do not detect my Micro.
    Please Advise me on what I should do

    As of firmware version 2.00.2 (includes new beta firmware), you have to use Windows Media Player instead of Mediasource. You cannot use Mediasource to manage a Zen Micro anymore.
    Accompanying the new firmware update, you also need to update the Zen Micro Explorer to the newest version (<<< Newest version download link)

    Josejanko,
    You don't supply much info other than your machine is old, so here is some info for you to check thru.
    Before doing anything you should have a back up, preferably 2, in the event something goes wrong.
    You would have to start by upgrading to Snow Leopard, you would need to buy the disk for about $20 here  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard  
    Check the the requirements to see if your machine meets them.
    You would then need to run the 10.6.8 v1.1 combo update to get it to 10.6.8 Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    You can then access the APP STORE and possibly upgrade to to further OSX.
    You may have applications that will not be compatible with any thing past Snow Leopard, you can check those here Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta!
    http://roaringapps.com/apps
    Office 2008 will not work with anything newer than Snow Leopard for an wxample
    You may be able to upgrade to Lion or MT Lion or Yosemite, depending on your machine, from the APP STORE.
    OS X Lion - Technical Specifications Lion

  • Hoping for detailed help w/ Podcast/Zen Micro/ Windows Media 10.

    Can someone please outline what steps are necessary for someone with a 5gig Zen Micro & Windows Media 0 to download (specifically) and eventually listen to podcasts on my Zen Micro.
    I'm hoping for something like; You need these 3 things.....first you....second you....finally.... (hopefully there are only that many steps!)
    If it is already on the board, just a cut and paste response is great....or a link to the conversation.
    Thanks very much for your 'non technical'/ 'dummies' style explanation.
    Cheers,

    Windows Media Player 0 help files are very well done, and perhaps your answer is in there...
    But as for folder creation: WMP0 arranges your music as Artist\Album\Song.mp3, doesn't matter how you have it structured on your computer, WMP0 will arrange it like that. If you use Windows Explorer then it will keep the same arrangement as your computer, like you already know.
    Despite this arrangement, if you still want WMP0 to make folders on your player then:
    Connect the Micro
    Open up WMP0
    Click on Tools-> Options
    Click on Devices tab
    Select your player and click Properties
    Under the Synchronization tab check the box for <i>Create folder hierarchy on device</i>
    As for playlist creation, WMP0 will only transfer playlists using the Auto-sync options. If you select which songs to transfer over then it will not transfer that playlist, just the songs inside it. To make a playlist you will have to use Zen Media Explorer, or whatever program that supports it like Media Source, or even make them manually on the player itself.

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer (P4S) Problems, anyo

    I may have missed a thread on this, but frankly, I'm surprised that no one else is complaining about this problem.
    Since upgrading my firmware to make the Micro Audible-compatible, I find the new version of "Zen Micro Media Explorer" suddenly very deficient!
    Selecting "organize music in device" now offers a VERY limited function. The old interface is gone, replaced with just another (windows) Explorer window with a folder called "Music" in it. You can't sort your player's contents by genre or album, just artist (folders).
    If you open an artist folder, then album folder to get to the tracks, you can't "edit track properties" on more than one track at a time (for instance, if you need to correct the genre on all files for an album or audiobook).
    All these options USED to be available in the old version of "Zen Media Explorer". Now I'm regretting upgrading to the "plays for sure" firmware -- this is probably what's causing the limitations.
    I'd sure be curious to see if anyone else finds this as frustrating as I do... I can't imagine Creative making a software upgrade LESS useful, but it appears they have!
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I completely agree...this new software is a major step back! ... I get the feeling that Creative struck some sort of deal with Microsoft and dumbed down their software in favor of Media Player 0!
    For a while there, I was able to turn all my audio over to Creative's software - I was using it to listen to the music on my PC, organize, burn, transfer to my Zen, and life was great!
    Now that I've "upgraded" to this new firmware, Microsoft's Media Player keeps butting its way onto my screen and draining all the life out of my computer!
    For example, I used to be able to right-click on a song and select send to --> Zen...now all I can do is add the song to my Media Player sync list! Media Play is such a resource hog that i don't even bother... I'd rather just go into Creative's software and use the import wizard.

  • WHY WON'T CREATIVE ZEN MICRO MEDIA EXPLORER RECOGNIZE MY ZEN MI

    I am wanting to start transfering music over from my laptop to my zen micro.
    I try go into Zen Micro Media Explorer and it says this: The device is not connected. Please connect your zen micro to the computer.
    My zen micro is connected and it says "docked" on the screen.
    When I connect it to my laptop with the usb cable it makes the connection sound and MTP Media screen pops up giving me 2 options: syncronise files to this device using Windows Media Player or to take no action. Shouldn't the micro media explorer option pop up here too?
    How can i solve this?

    No problem
    It's better to direct folks to the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post, which takes them here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net. This has the full set of help that has worked to-date with solving MTP problems.

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer not working

    Recently I purchased a new PC. winxp. My zen worked just fine on my old PC. I installed my zen and the media explorer. When I launch the Zen Micro Media Explorer everything is grayed out. I cant click on anything. Windows media explorer shows my zen, but the Zen Micro Media Explorer is just all gray. I have FW version .3. I figued I would upgrade the FW and when I try upgading, it says the zen is not plugged in. I need to edit my playlists and I cant get into the media explorer. help!

    I'm having exactly the same problem with my Creative Zen Touch 40 gB - a couple of months ago I had to re-instal windows and manage to re-install MediaSource and all the Audigy and Creative Zen drivers and they all worked together nicely. I've now upgraded the motherboard and processor, re-installed windows and cannot get mediasource to see my device. I've tried intslling the plays-for-sure software suite and it says it can't see my device and to check that the firmware is updated to PFS devices, which it is. I've tried the updated drivers, updated mediasource, uninstalled the device and re-installed it and nothing works. I'm running Windows XP Professional which has been updated with all the critical updates and also runs Media PLayer .
    I know this doesn't help the previous poster, but if anyone else can help, that'd be fab.

  • Help .. my Zen Micro Media Explorer (MTP) is in chin

    When i have installed Zen Micro Media Explorer (MTP) . It turned out to be in chinese .. is there anyway to change it to english ? .. the previous version of Zen Micro Media Explorer is in english version .. yet i cant figure out why Zen Micro Media Explorer (MTP) is in chinese .. please reply asap .. thanks !

    draike,
    Most likely you had set the regional & language setting in control panel to be in Chinese and that's why your Media Explorer are installed in Chinese. You should uninstall the Media Explorer and make sure that the regional & language setting in control panel are set to English and then proceed to install the Media Explorer application.

  • Problem with Zen Micro Media Explor

    I got my Zen Micro the other day, and installed the software, but when i try to load the Zen Micro Media Explorer my computer goes to a blue screen and then restarts. I reinstalled the software but still have the same problem. Please help me!

    Try downloading the latest version to see if that has the same problem.
    Also turn off automatic restart so you can see what file is giving you the error, if there is a file.

    a hint or two:
    . i had the same problem with my Rave mp3 player and the service support fellow asked me to download the files from usbman.com, still didnot work. returned the **bleep** thing.
    now i have the zen and guess what, it is doing the same thing, wonder if it is windows me?
    2. when i restart the computer is get the following message (this is new for today)
    windows could not upgrade file % etc. etc. this error happened on the restart after installation.
    help me please.

  • Zen micro media explorer error mess

    I can't seem to get zen micro media explorer to acknowledge that my player is docked into my computer. I keep getting a message that says "the device is not connected. Please connect your Zen micro to the computer".
    Has anyone run into this?
    g2

    Just to tag along with this thread. I also updated the driver and applications for my Zen. All works fine. The only flaw is after upgrading the MediaSource to 3.30.2 the PC desktop shortcut icon is not automatically created after removing the earlier release one. I gotta manually create it. And there is no need to uninstall any earlier release cuz it seems the installer is smart enuff to detect earlier release and do uninstall before install the latest version.
    I feel some changes in the software but not so critical but I guess I want the latest version to keep up with the times :smileytongue:

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer - Zen Micro not showing

    When I start the Zen Micro Media Explorer, all of the options are blurred out and it says "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen Micro to the computer." But I have it in my USB port, and all the other programs see it....just not the Zen Micro Media Explorer.
    What is wrong?

    Make sure you have the latest version, called Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update on the download page, click the link Support > Downloads on this page.

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer not sorting alphabetica

    I just had this problem ever since I installed the 2.20.05 firmware. I backed up all my music in a folder, I chose detailed view and usually when I click on those buttons on top that says Artist, Size, Name, etc. They arrange it from A-Z or Z-A. Zen Micro Media Explorer didn't do this for me, I clicked on Arist and everything gets mixed up. Also I have lost my Genre in all of my music during the process of backing up. It made it harder for me to sort my music back together.
    And the weirdest thing is that Creative Mediasource properly sorted my music from A-Z just like how it looks like under Windows Explorer. But under the Zen Micro Media Explorer, it still doesn't display correctly.
    Any reasons why this is happening?

    ^^ I also have the same issue, but only with one of my two microphotos. I first noticed it when I was trying to update my firmware. My first player worked perfectly, the second one always tells me that my player is disconnected (yes i've jiggled the cables and such). It then tells me that my player is not compatible with creative media explorer. Trouble is both players had the same firmware as i bought them at the same time, but one doesn't work while the other does.

    It's not looking for your PIN - that is only used over DTMF-based interactions - it's looking for your CUC password. If the mailbox is synced from LDAP and you have LDAP Auth enabled on CUC, then this would be your AD password. If it's synced over AXL, not synced at all, or LDAP synced but without Auth, then there will be an alphanumeric password field on the mailbox under Edit > Change Passwords.
