Creative Media Sou

Hi Gang - A couple of questions about the Software
I cannot find a site that allows me to update the revision. I am currently at .0.53 and have a couple of goofy things happening.....</LI>
I have both a TV card and a turntable for vinyl connected into the line in. The connections is on a split mini-jack which seems to work fine. However, when I record I can only hear the sound in the recording option what you hear - I am sure that previously I could use line-in as an option. When I specify line in the recording works but I can't hear it from the speaker. Again I am sure that at one time I was able to hear it on the speakers.</LI>
When I close off the TV application, the software resets itself back to auxilliary rather than leaving the recording source as is. Is this normal? If so why?</LI>
Do I need to upgrade the software?
Thanks....

I'd like to know the answer to this question also. I lost the Karaoeke feature on mine.

Creative zen firmware update now trouble with creative media sou

I wanted to start downloading music from an online store and was advised that I needed a firmware upgrade for my creative zen, which I did (version 2.2.02) and could download music. However since I have done this my zen is no longer recognised when I connect to my pc - which is running on Windows XP. I took advice from creative and reloaded my firmware after starting my player in recovery mode and then I reloaded the creative media source organiser software. After that I could find the player in the organiser but everything was laid out differently with all my music in folders which made it really tricky to navigate.
The icon is this grey thing which doesnt look like a creative at all! Although I can move files around it is still not recognised on the bottom right of my pc and I can't safely remove the hardware because of this. I am also having problems with syncing from the pc library to the zen and it is not picking up duplicate files but adding them again so I am getting loads of copies of the same music - nightmare. When I am deleting it is just not recognising and I have been through this process a few times now and its getting pretty tiresome!
Should I reinstall the organiser again and do a clean up in recovery mode?

The Zen MicroPhoto is an MTP Device.
Minimum System Requirements:
Microsoft? Windows? XP (Service Pack or higher)/XP 64-bit

Windows Vista--again- Cannot install Creative Media Sou

Hello. I have a Zen Microphoto. I bought a new computer running window vista home premium 32 bit. I have been tryng to install the creative media source 5 to manange my music and playlists. I prefer this over Media Player. Every time I try to install the program, the setup program stalls with an error message, "searching for installed components" I have tried installing the program with the ZEN plugged into different USB ports and I have tried deleting the driver from the device manager and reinstalling it. Can anyone help me with this??

I would work through the reset procedures given under the various FAQ threads and then try the firmware upgrade again after getting it out of recovery mode as that seems to be the issue. There seem to be a number of threads with things to try. I would not give up but first work through the various suggestions to get it out of recovery mode. Then post separately re the recovery mode problem to see if anyone has ideas for solving that first. Did it go into recovery mode immediately after the firmware upgrade? Will it let you try to do the firmware again?When I connect it takes about 20 secs before the player is recognized by media player. In terms of transfer to your own laptop - do you have a burner on the friends PC for burning a DVD or 2. Or a slower way is multiple transfers using a USB memory stick.

Cannot transfer files using Creative Media Sou

I cannot Cannot transfer files using from my PC to my Creative Jukebox 0GB using Creative Media Source. Since I installed Windows Media Player 0, it seems that Windows Media Player 0 is the only program enabled to transfer files to my creative Jukebox. I would just go ahead and use Media Player, but Media Player won't let me change my library to one designated music file folder location. Media Player wants to find every copy of the same song on my system and is very difficult to use to transfer the files to my Jukebox device. Is there any fix to make Creative Media Source the preferred (or only) program used to transfer the files from PC to device?

i am having a similar problem, although i have not downloaded windows media player 0. The creative mediasource software wont let me transfer songs onto my zen touch (20G). i only got the player a couple of days ago and it only has about 400 songs on it so far so there's no problem with the memory. I had problems before where it wouldnt let me upload anything that began with a letter after 's' in the alphabet! i solved this (no idea how) but the problem seems to have come back and now it wont let me up load anything. When i atempt to, it comes up with the prompt "unable to read file. file may be in use, missing or corrupted." (which they arent as far as i know) I also, for some reason, cannot play any songs through creative mediasource - even though i could a few hours ago!
Please could someone help as this is very frustrating!!!!!!

TRANSFER between creative media sou

Hi guys, i've got a new computer and was wondering what would be the quickest/easiest way to transfer my music library in creative media source from my old computer to my new one? I have star rated all my songs, so it it possible to transfer this rating?

The rating should have been stored in the audio file as well. To be sure, it is suggested that you right-click on the tracks in PC Music Library and select Update Tag. This should update the tag of the files. After that, just copy the audio files to you new PC. Then re-import the files into MediaSource's PC Music Library.

Can't seem to transfer with Creative Media Sou

Ok so is anyone else having problems transferring songs from creative media source to their mp3 player? I have plenty of space on my muvoN200 so thats not the problem. When I try to troubleshoot the problem there is nothing on the error that I am getting. Anytime I try to transfer it always says "an error has occurred while transforming this file". I have over 50 songs on my mp3 player so I have had no such problems in the past and I have done nothing different. I also went and downloaded the newest version of MediaSource but the problem still persists. Unsure what is going on and wondering if anyone has had this problem or knows how to help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

You may have hit the limit in the root directory. Delete a few files off the player, create folder and transfer those files to the folder instead of root directory.

Problems burning cds with Creative Media Sou

Hello,
Everytime I try to burn a CD with Creative Media Source it says "No supported CD recorder device is found". Can anyone explain to me what this actually means? Does this mean Media Source is not recognising my CD dri've? I can burn CDs successfully using other programs.
Thankyou

Your dri've may be a model that's not supported by MediaSource burner engine. See this Knowledgebase article SID5364 and follow the steps mention in the article to update your MediaSource burner engine.

Windows Vista and Creative Zen Touch/ Creative Media Sou

Hey there, I just got a shiny new laptop with Windows Vista (32 bit) and would like to install the media source player. Unfortunately I lost the CD with the installation long time ago. I downloaded all kinds of files for the Zen (the media player and the drivers) from the Creative site, but I just can't get it to work. Can anyone please tell which files I need to download and in which order That would be lovely! Many thanks,Julia

Zen Touch - Can't Load Library to Creative Media Sou

Background: Creative Zen Touch, 40GB, with 536 albums/5800 tracks. Microsoft XP. Have loaded latest version of MediaSource. Have also deleted library from laptop hard dri've (as instructed on Creative knowledgebase site, with assumption that it could be corrupt.) Have not reset the player, since it seems fine, standalone. Have rebooted the laptop.
I'm a moron...though I really did try to search forums and knowledgebase before this plea for help.
Symptom: Player works fine. When I plug it into laptop, it's recognized, and "Loading Library, Please Wait" screen appears, but there's no activity shown in the screen (e.g. progress bar). Player shows "docked".
How I may have screwed things up: I was in MediaSource yesterday, looking at library of the player. I noticed a typo and changed it in MediaSource. Other than that, I'm not sure what I might have done. No changes to laptop configuration.
Sincere thanks.

Update: I've now uninstalled and reinstalled the software (player and MediaSource) from the laptop. I've also reinstalled the device driver, since this didn't seem to come across in the full-software installation. No change in symptom: laptop still won't loan library from player. Thanks.

Zen MicroPhoto and it's CREATIVE MEDIA SOU

Since last year I have a Zen Micro 5Gb and I always could change the MP3 informations (name, album...) in the MP3,using the program. Today I've the Zen MicroPhoto 8Gb and I upload the music in it. I had a mistake and a write as a album's name "Taxman" and not "Revolver" (revolver is the correct). I tried to change the album's name as the Zen Micro 5Gb but i can't! If I use the Creative MediaSource as a friend told me, it frooze and then I can't use it. How I have to do it's
Lot of thanks. Lot of peoplo without you don't now what to do.

Before buying a charger, be sure to test other USB ports on your computer [or on other computers, if one is handy].
Some computers do not provide full power all the USB ports.

Playing music via Creative Media Sou

Hi, I've searched through this forum for an answer to this with no luck. Once I have songs loaded on my Zen Touch, can I play them through my computer (i.e., desktop speakers) via Media Source?
What I'd like to do is remove the music files from my desktop HD and simply connect the Zen when I want to listen to music. At this point, I can move files to the Now Playing list and play them, but the audio only comes through the headphones. I'd like to avoid having to unplug my desktop speakers. Oh, and I have successfully started up Nomad Explorer and "cut and paste" files to Media Source - is this the only solution? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Most likely your PC is USB. If it were USB2 it will buffer the files in MediaSource and play them on the PC. More here.
You can get the excellent freeware JBHTTP or the equally excellent shareware Notmad (with the Xtreamer function) which *should* play the tracks on your PC.Message Edited by SSR on 2-05-2004 0:28 PM

Burn List Missing in Creative Media Sou

I reinstalled my OS and SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Patinum with the latest updates. I saved my burn list that I used for my previous installation on another partition and now I can not get CMS to recognize it. I know it's there I can view the folder and contents but CMS will not open it when I try to open the burn list with it. I know that before I reinstalled only CMS 3.30.2 would open it so I have both versions installed now 5.0.38 and 3.30.2. Neither will open the burn list. Anyone have an idea how to get CMS to open the burn list. Everything is up to date. The extensions for the files in the burn list folder are .EBL or .MDB.

Jeez the response is overwhelming. So anyway I created a new burn list and found the directory that the file was saved, in. C:/documents and settings/user/applications/creative/burn cd. So I copied the files from my saved burn list to it and when I opened CMS I was able to get all of the burn list titles to be displayed in the burn list title box. But when I selected a title from the list none of the tracks included with the list would be displayed only the title of the list. Any ideas, anyone?

Recording/playing back with Creative Media Sou

I have a C00 Mp3 player which came bundled with some creative software, including a software Mp3 player and recorder for windows.
I have tried recording via the sound output of the sound card, and at 28kbps it does fine. But when I record at 40kbps (for example a radio talk show), then try to play it back, it plays back at many times the correct speed.
When I open the 40kbps file that I recorded with this Creative software, using Winamp, it plays fine. The creative software mp3 player can open and play other 40kbps files I've recorded (using Audacity) with no problems.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I haven't played it back on the C00 - I mean it plays back too fast on the windows software they include (but fine on Winamp).
Any ideas?
