Convert Problem using Creative MediaSource of Audig

I have been following the instructions for coverting old tapes to mp3 files, but I have not had quite the success I wanted. Here's my problem: Everything records fine except instead of just the "Line In " transfer, I also get what the recorder picks up, such as my talking. Moreover, there is no "line in" only recording source as indicated in the instructions. You get choices, such as "what U hear," "microphone," "mp3/wav," and "analog mix" (line in, CD, etc). I have tried all these. No matter what I try to do, I still hear the outside sounds in my recording. I even took out the microphone from the jack, and I made sure I had the tape player connected to the "line-in" jack (not the microphone jack). Does anyone have suggestions?

I think I figured out the problem. I also have a Logitech camera attached to of my computer's usb2 ports. My guess is that it was the culprit responsible for recording the other sounds. I disconnected the camera. Now Creative MediaSource seems to be working when I use the analog mix option.

Using Creative MediaSource - No Track Ye

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I'm looking for some answers on this and here goes...
I've got a Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra player that's a few years old and I'm using Creative MediaSource .0.85.
Whenever I want to rip tracks from a CD and add them to my MP3 player using CMS, I find the CDDB succesfully retrieves the track name, album name, artist and even track number, but the track Year is always left blank and I cannot see an option anywhere to change this. So, each time I add a new CD, I have to go in to Nomad Explorer and edit each track's properties one-by-one.
What I'd like to know please is whether there are any updates available that might include the track year information or whether there is something I have missed or am missing?
I hope this makes sense to you and that someone may be able to help...
Thank you for your time. Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong forum,
Olly.
Admin note: I moved this to the MP3 forums, the Zen Xtra is a MP3 player not a PMP.

Nope, I definitly have a usb 2.0 I already had Usb on my PC but I had to buy a new usb so my mp3 player would work. And like I said my mp3 played worked fine on my PC until I had to wipe my hard dri've.
I think the problem is that the usb2.0 came with an installation disc and I've lost it so I'm gonna look on the net for some software that may help.
Thanks anyway.

Problems with Creative Mediasource-shutting d

For the past 24 hours I have been unable to use Creative Mediasource. Every time I get into the program to transfer songs from my computer to my MuVo a window pops up saying that there is a problem and Mediasource has to shut down. Then Windows sends an error message report. I have uninstalled the software from my computer and reinstalled several times but it isn't helping at all. I have no idea what's going on at all.
Can anyone help? I have Windows XP and MuVo TX, G of memory. This is so frustrating and I have no idea what is going on.
Thanks.

Hi Gilad,
If you switched from a .x firmware to a 2.x firmware, you will need some software updates aswell so your applications can communite with the new firmware.
You can find them in the Download section aswell. For MediaSource for instance, the file you need is:
Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) (23.98 MB)
Filename: CMS_PCMTP_LB__00_8.exe

Problem with Creative MediaSource and Zen Ex

Earlier today my Creative MediaSource software (the Organizer) stopped detecting my Zen Extra (60GB). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times.
Everytime I try to open the MediaSource Organizer, I get the following:?[size="3" color="#0033ff">Creative MediaSource Player has encountered a problem and needs to close.[size="3" color="#0033ff">?[size="3" color="#0033ff">Error Signature: [size="3" color="#0033ff">AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 2.2.5.0 ModName: ctcms.exe
[size="3" color="#0033ff">ModVer: 2.2.5.0 Offset: 00098c[size="">
?Can anyone help me? How can I get the Organizer working again and how can I get it to detect my player. I have installed the firmware and drivers on this site, but nothing is helping.

Try deleting the .dat file(s) under "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\MediaSource". It may solve the MediaSource crashing problem. To detect your Zen Xtra, you need to install its plugin for MediaSource. You may install it from your product CD or get the latest from the Web download. Here is what you should do:?- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site. Make sure that you install this first before installing the rest of the MediaSource plugins listed below.- (Depending on your product and firmware)
For non-PlaysForSure Zen series: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
For PlaysForSure Zen Xtra: Download and install the Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Players.
- If it is listed for your product: Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.

Problem with Creative MediaSource Organi

I recently purchased a new laptop and installed the Creative software that came with my Zen Neeon. However, whereas on my old computer I could select a recording source, on my new computer it only allows?me to record using a mic. Is there any way to fix this issue? I use the other recording options quite frequently and so far haven't been able to find a mention of this problem. Thanks.

If your new laptop has only microphone input, then you can only record from microphone.

Problem installing Creative Mediasource, please hel

I have a Zen micro but have lost the installationcd, so instead I tried downloading the programs off of the site, the problem is, when i try to install it I get an error message saying: Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Click the retry button to re-detect your device and continue the installation.Click the cancel button to go back to your windows desktop. This happens regardless of if I have the zen plugged into the computer or not....What is the problem? Does anyone have a solution for me please?I should add that I use Windows Vista....

ps.
.. Im not sure what firmware I have, how can I find out?
To check your Zen Micro's firmware version number:
. Turn on Zen Micro.
2. From the main menu, select System -> Information.
The firmware version number is indicated under Version
Vista requires the PlaysForSure firmware: Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware update 2.2.02 (2.32 MB)
I don't use Vista, but I believe that you need to install firmware version 2.2.02 on a computer running XP first and once it's installed on your Zen Micro, it should be recognized by Vista.

Album details ripped using iTunes cannot be read in Creative MediaSource. Any f

Hi.
Most of my CD collection was ripped using iTunes. All album details are viewable when using iTunes, Windows Media Player, Real Player & Nero Player.
Creative MediaSource doesn't see the album details and, of course, won't pass them on to my Zen NX.
Any tracks ripped using Creative MediaSource show full track listing etc on my Zen NX
Is there a way to make Creative Source read or import the album & track information?
I have tried using WMP and Real Player to upload to my Zen NX but (on 2 PCs) it just hangs.
All programmes are upto date - as is NX firmware.
Appreciate any help.
Wint.

Be very careful. There's a bug in at least some versions of MediaSource which will strip tag data from files encoded in iTunes, due to the way it formats the track number field.
It might also be a problem with the ID3 tag version that iTunes uses being incompatible with MediaSource.
The first thing to do is go to http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/drivers and get the latest version of MediaSource.
Also take a look in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net for alternati'ves to MediaSoure and also some tagging programs.

Creative Mediasource for Creative Zen (2-38

Hey everyone,
I am well aware that the current version of Creative Mediasource is not available for the Creative Zen. Now I figured that eventually they would make a version compatible with the Zen. I'm currently up to my 3rd Generation of Creative Mp3 players (from Zen Touch to Zen Vision: M to Zen 32 gb ), and I constantly used Creative Mediasource to edit the track information, usually the genres which awere so totally confused (Hip Hop should never be associated with Country :S). However, now that the Zen operates through Windows Media Explorer, instead of being able to select whole cds and right clicking them to 'edit genre', I now have to individually select each song and rewrite the details.. this could be a problem in the near future; I just got my mp3 player last tuesday, and though right now i'll manage, my media database is a little off in terms of assortment, and editing 600 tracks manually seems to be a rather tedious task >.< So, my question is(are):
When (if they ever decide to do so) will a Creative mediasource version for the Creative Zen be released?
Is there a faster method that I'm unaware of to edit the tracks?
I did take the time to look through the forums before I wrote this, taking the precautions by searching for Creative Mediasource, Creative Mediasource Zen flash, etc.Thanks in advance!

Well, I usually avoid Windows Media Player because the computer I use is also used by the rest of the family, and every once in a while it chooses to autosync music onto my Zen.. but if you say it's useful to edit multiple ID3 Tags (so that's the official name for them, oh..), i'll give it another try. And I'll try MediaMonkey too, because it sounds like the program was made specifically to make ID3 tag updating easier.
Thanks for all your help!

Technical question about Creative MediaSource 3.30.21‏

Hello:
I use Creative MediaSource software to manage my Creative MP3 player. When I hook up the MP3 player using the USB cable, I can play songs in the "player" within the MediaSource organizer. How do I set it so that the songs (which reside on the MP3 player) will play on my computer speakers (not through the MP3 player)?
Im summary, when I play a song that li'ves on my computer, it plays through the computer speakers, but songs that li've on the MP3 player play on the MP3 (even though I'm controlling them via the MediaSource software). How do I play all of these songs on my computer speakers?
Thanks in advance for any help!

R.U. lazy? Why can't you try it by yourself.
Well, I tried it. But it pops out a message saying my system doesn't have the proper components (some such thing -- I'll try to get the exact message next time)...
I have an SB Audigy card properly installed with the latest drivers (and functioning without problems).
As for nvidiot's suggestion to run the setup.exe program. I believe I also tried that method and it showed up the same error message (sorry, will jot down the message next time).
However, I'm interested in this "ctcomp" utility you mentioned that can patch the setup files. How is the ctcomp used? (I recall having an experience with a pre-patched Audigy2 drivers quite some time back. It already had a prepatched ctcomp.dat or some similar thing which allowed the Audigy2 sound driver to install on Audigy sound card.)
So I surmise this method might work (assuming the Creative MediaSource relies on the same identification mechanism).
~~~~~~~~
(edited/added)
Ok, I've finally gotten this thing to install. I probably wasn't running the correct setup.exe program as mentioned above. I went to the SETUP\SETUP directory and run the SETUP.EXE there. The CMS program started to install and after a few minutes of hard disk activity, the setup program told me to restart the system, after which the Creative MediaSource program is installed. (no need for the ctcomp thing)
Thanks to all that helped me here.Message Edited by dta on 0-08-2006 03:3 AM

Creative Mediasource opens a strange win

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...angeWindow.jpg?When I open Creative Mediasource it does a strange thing and opens the window shown in the clipped screenshot of my desktop. Stranger still, the window has no handles, and will not respond to normal windows keyboard shortcut?(Alt + SpaceBar)?that would normally allow you to access the restore/minimise/maximise menu option. I am stuck with this window. I know for a fact that it is a window, because it behaves as a window in every other way. I can drag it around my desktop, in other words. Also, it reacts to the transparency settings given by my Graphics Card. Does anyone else share this problem, and would anyone be able to help troubleshoot this problem? I have used Creative Mediasource for?almost a year now, and I have finally decided to whip this little puppy into shape.

If your MediaSource is older than v3.30.2, then?download and install MediaSource v3.30.2 from your product download site.

What's the Downside of Not Using Creatve MediaSource (Nuvo 200 1

Hi guys... I found that installing the Creative Media Source leaves a mess on my WinXP. I've left it on but haven't been using it with my 500 MB Creative Muvo 200. I just plop a folder of classical music or 2 and several folders of BBC type spoken word programs into my player and go.
Reason for asking: I just got a GB player so I can load a wee bit more music and spoken word stuff...more choice while I'm out there!
However for this player I did not try to have it recognized by Creative MediaSource and went right to updating the player's firmware.
Then I loaded it with my stuff.
The one thing that's different is that my PC recognizes this new player as Dri've "F" (my old one is recognized as "M"). No problem... I guess
Can I uninstall the Creative Media Source?
What's the downside of not using the 2nd of 2 downloads for MediaSourcebelow)? (Installed & in use apparently with my 500 mb player)

Help Please! Creative MediaSource vs. WMP10 - Zen Mi

Okay, so when I first got my Zen Micro, I used the Creative MediaSource that came with it to organize all my music, and I thought it worked perfectly. However, I -just- updated the firmware, and now it's sync-ed with Windows Media Player 0. At first I thought it would be no problem, but I totally can't get used to Windows Media PLayer 0. I tried use Creative MediaSource again, but now I can't get my Zen Micro to sync with it!
Can someone please help me?!~Airiviel
ETA: can someone walk me through the downgrading procedure?Message Edited by Airiviel on 0-7-2005 0:26 PM

Ok. The way i did it:
. Download the version .3 and then delete the version 2.whatever upgrade file oof of your PC.
2. Now go onto the Zen Micro and go into recovery mode (take out the battery and then hold the power switch to on while re-inserting the battery)
3. Scroll to the menu option "Reload Firmware". This will erase the current firmware.
4. Start the version .3 update and then poof TA-DA, you have the excellent firmware on the Zen Micro.

Creative Mediasource

Hey
How Come original users--Audigy 2 Platinum etc users, are stuck using Creative MediaSource .0, when Audigy 2 ZS users have Access to Mediasource 2, this is so unfair from Creative, I like that program, but I guess Creative doesn't feel us original Audigy 2 USers need updated software at all.

Anyone have some input on this question? but if no replies I guess not
Overall I'm happy with my Audigy 2 Platinum..just wish updated software was provided,and then I'd be perfectly happy. My last soundcard was SB Li've value--and used for over 5 years, and I was so glad that one that the li'veupdate pack or whatever it was called, when I got this Audigy 2 Platinum, I was so happy, but for a while there I was having driver/software issues, those are all resolved now.
