Creative Media Source Organizer not working

I installed Windows 7 on my computer, then attempted to download Creative Media Organizer 5. It downloaded and installed, but when I attempt to play a music selection with it I get a notice that the program stopped working. Is it a compatibility problem with Windows? If not, what do I have to do to get it to work?

  • Creative media source organizer H

    I have a Zen extra. I view the music I have on my harddri've using the creative media source organizer.
    It shows the title, file size, type and date. I am trying to edit the properties to show more items, such as artist and album. Nothing works, I cant add these items. When I view this same music using windows explorer, the artist and album appear. Why wouldnt they show up in the Creative Media Organizer?

    Azhat is referring to his PC hard disk. So, he is actually talking about MediaSource's My Computer. I cannot remember whether MediaSource v2 allows viewing of additional columns in My Computer; MediaSource v3 allows that.
    Azhat, you can actually add the tracks from MediaSource's My Computer to MediaSource PC Music Library. You can then view additional track information by right-click to view more columns (as suggested by SSR).

  • Creative Media Source Player not fo

    Hi... I am lost & confused!!!! I purchased a new hard dri've & motherboard. I reinstalled my audigy 2zs card & loaded the install disk. To my suprise media player did not load...in fact I can't even find it on the original install disk!! I used the media player all the time and even plugged in my old hard dri've and behold..media player was on that hard dri've!! Can anybody tell me why it is not appearing on the original install disk whenin fact it was there when I loaded it the first time I purchased the card? It appears everything else will load off the install disk EXCEPT media source player.

    There are differences in the details of how the various Creative soundcards work, and it would help me if I knew which one you have. I get the impression it came in the computer, and you don't actually know the answer. Where exactly are you trying to select what u hear? The Creative Media Source Player program (I've not used it, but it seems odd for a "player" program to do recording)? The mixer program? Which mixer, Windows or Creative's?

  • Creative Media Player does not work on my

    I have removed audio card rebooted and then istall the drivers but I can't get Creative Media Player to show up on my PC
    I'm using the following on my PC:
    Wlindows XP Professional SP2
    Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Ed. 2003 SP
    Microsoft Office fRONTPAGE 2003
    Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Ed 2003 SP (Business contact manager for microsoft office outlook 2003)

    Are you installing only the drivers? Creative MediaSource is a separate installation from the audio software.

  • Creative media source does not recognice zen x

    and I have no clue what to do
    Can You hepl please?
    Ed

    If you are still having problems with MediaSource recognizing your Xtra, go to the Support/downloads page above and put in the information about your player. There is a list of software and you should be able to find the plug-in for media source/Xtra.
    As for updating your firmware be aware that a lot of people have had problems installing the plays for sure (2.0.03)version. Do a Search (above on this page)?on this player and the firmware problems before trying it on yours. I still have the firmware .20.08?on my 30 GB Xtra and it plays just fine.

  • How Do I Creative Media Source Organizer to recognize my old playli

    I have recently changed hardri'ves to my new computer. I have spent months editing my track properties to create a playlist. I copied all my music and playlist to the new hardri've, I browsed PC Library to "My Playlist", but I cannot get the organizer to recognize my old playlist. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Did you backup the old database of your MediaSource? Is your old hard disk still around?

  • Creative media source-How to apply audio cleanup permanant

    I have some older blues in mp3 format that I have downloaded and some that I have ripped from cd. They have alot of hissing and "noise" in the background, when in creative media source organizer, I use audio clean-up button to get rid of hissing and noise, but if I want to burn those songs to cd, how do I apply the audio clean up to the file.
    Also It mentioned in all of the advertising that you can "super rip" your audio cd's, which I have done, but it also says you can permanantly change your whole music "library" into better quality (I am assuming using crystalizer), but how do I permanantly apply these settings to the music files on my hard dri've. Does any one know how to do this, or if there are any good "links" or tutorials I should look at, thanks in advance for replys.

    No, you cannot apply audio clean up permanently to the files. Audio clean up is a unique feature of MediaSource's playback. The noise will be removed by MediaSource before MediaSource plays the audio. However, the physical file is not changed at all. One trick you can use is to record What U Hear while playing the files with clean up enabled. This way, you can record the clean audio.
    SuperRip's audio enhancement cannot be applied permanently to your existing files. You can use the same trick of recording What U Hear.

  • Creative Media Source + Windows XP Media Cen

    I have always used the Creative Media Source as an audio player and as a method of creating playlists etc.
    I just recieved a New Dell XPS400 with a Dell installed Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Music card. This machine has WinXP Media Center Edition installed as an operating system, for which I did a clean re-install. In reistalling the software from the Creative disk that was supplied with the computer I noticed that Creative Media Source was not included as part of the package. I further noticed that the in the download section of the website that this isn't an available download for the Win XP Media Center OS, even though it is available for Win XP Home edition.
    Is there a compatibility problem in using the Creative Media Source with this OS ? Is there a conflict with the other Creative software that is typically installed with this card? In case it makes a difference; in playing back wav and mp3 audio files I am not interested in opening up the Win Media Center interface in order to play those files or create playlists, I simply want to associate those audio files to open and play with the Creative Media Source as I have always done with previous versions of Windows XP.
    Thanks for any advice and clearification !

    Hi m8. Just install the Windows XP version (Professional), and it will work, as I use Creative Media Source with Windows Media Center 2005, no problems. After, try the "product update" under support on the creative site, to see if there are any new things to update, just incase.

  • Creative media source and Live!

    Does anybody knows what is list of selected cards that can use crossfading in Creative media source?
    Why Li've! 5. cannot? Not even EAX?
    Thanks in advance

    If you have the newer 24-bit versions of the Li've cards then disregard the following.
    Perhaps you've installed some of that updated modded stuff? (I've tried it at times too, but always returned to the official 252 driver/software Uni-Pack stuff.)
    The software you've got is not designed for the Li've series of cards. If you used the official cd's for the Audigy 2 series (not ZS), it all works as long as you choose not to install EAX Console and Speaker Calibrator. You should also not install MediaSource Player, choosing instead the PlayCenter 3.02.52 and , on XP, updating it to 3.02.70.
    You'll probably need to use the ctcomp.exe (search) on the Audio\language\Setup\Setup.exe file. So you'd need the cd copied to a folder on your harddri've so you can let ctcomp adjust the files.
    Then you run AudioHQ and choose to run on startup and load in systray in the options dropdown and use the EAX Control applet to control your effects. The AdvancedEQ effects work as long as you choose the effect, click the ParametricEQ in the center, then tick the volume slider tab with your mouse, exit and save. You need to do this everytime you apply an effect.
    Or, you can install the U-UPAX stuff which has been modded (driverheaven forum for links). I believe MediaSource works with their setup.
    I'm telling you though, your card will not give you any extra stuff it is not hardware designed to provide. So, you still only get EAX and 2, no Advanced HD EAX 3 or 4.
    And, the sound quality for music is superior with the official 252 Li've Uni-Pack setup. Unless you like overwhelming, booming bass and the midrange missing sounds. Those updated Audigy 2 and up drivers may have settings and files for the Li've, but they are tuned for the Audigy 2 and up.
    The 3 best optimizations made for the Li've were the old Li'veware 3.0 vxd drivers, the APS mod for the Li've (both for 9x), and the kXProject drivers (for XP). By far the most problem free software package was the Li've Uni-Pack. And it sounds okay.
    So there you go. Now, if after you uninstall whatever you've got, the setup file of the package you select doesn't say "No SoundBlaster hardware installed" you'll be lucky. Modern Creative drivers oftentimes remove something when uninstalled that messes up the hardware detection and if installing with CTZAPP doesn't magically let the software setup recognize the card again then only a format will fix it.

  • The launch feature of Creative Media Source 5.

    I need to clarify my question. I was able to install components of the latest version of Creative Media Source 5 from the WEB. All but the Go! feature seem to work OK!? Am I missing something or am I doing something wrong? I hilight that section in the menue bar but nothing happens. Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Yes I realize that--I'm thinking more specifically that CMS5 doesn't play well with SP3? The problem with your solution is that I don't like WMP. At least, I don't like the fact that you can't play your music straight from your device. You have to sync your device and copy all of your music onto your hard dri've to play from the device connected to the computer. That was mainly what I used CMS5 for--playing music directly from my device through the computer?without having to copy all of its contents onto my hard dri've. I keep my music stored on my Zen Microphoto so it doesn't take up space on my computer...
    I would Google the errors & see what comes up.. I'm fairly certain that Sp3 probably included WMP with it so that may be the source of the conflict if you installed it. Since it was a reinstall I don't know if you'll be able to install WMP0 instead.You could try that & see if that hel
    ps.
    If you don't have backup copies of your music(cd or external dri've)you should do so. If the player's hardri've ever fails for whatever reason at least you will have an archi've & not lose all your files.

  • Creative Media Source - Problem adding a song to playl

    I created playlists for my Zen Vision M using Creative Media Source. I did not use the PC Library but rather used the player as the source and created play lists. I have successfully added songs to the playlists over the past several months. Yesterday when I added a song, it replaced the entire playlist with the one song that I was adding. I tested several more times by creating new playlists and the same thing happened.
    I can accomplish the same thing using the explorer but prefer Creative Media Source. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any advice?Thanks. Jay

  • Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corrupt

    0Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corrupt? After doing some backup utilities on my music archi've, and relocating them to a new larger dri've, I am now receiving messages that my PC Music Library is corrupt, and is unusable. All of my playlists are gone, and I can't make new ones. it attempts to access a backup copy of the PC Music Library, fails at that as well, then reports it will make a new one. This fails as well, and the message recommends to repair the Microsoft jet Databse Engine and the MDAC, etc.
    So naturally, I go to the Microsoft website, as instructed by Creative, and that's about as useful as you'd expect...none.
    I have attempted to delete what remains of the old one, both via Media Source and Windows (XP),? and have even reinstalled media source. The problem persists. I'm less concerned about recovery of the old playlists than I am simply starting over with new ones (it was time for a redo anyways).
    Media Source itself works fine in all other apsects. It can read files, play music, and interact with my Creative Zen Xtra device. But it's all useless if I can't make playlists for use on the PC and transfer to the Zen.
    Anyone have any ideas? I just want to be able to use my stuff again.

    Re: Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corruptn Wasn't aware that it was possible, and haven't seen anything that tells how it could be done. Typically I make my playlists in Creative Media Center, in Organizer mode. As I'm pawing through the archi've and want to add a specific track to a playlist, I? right-click>add to playlist, select the playlist from the drop-down, and move on.
    After deleting the old corrupted playlist files, and starting over from scratch, here is what happens:? I attempt to add a track to a playlist...no playlists exist, so I create one on the spot. Upon submitting the info, CMS crashes. ? I reopen CMS, now the PC Music Library is corrupted again, the backup is corrupted, and no playlists exist, etc. At that point, I can delete the playlist files again, and start the process over again (resulting in the same: CMS crashes and I have corrupted playlists.)

  • Creative Media Source record volume level slider doesn't w

    I had an older version of Creative Media Source and a installed the latest version off the website to try to fix the problem, but the same thing occurs in the current version. I want to record, but the slider is grayed out and when I try to use it, the whole media source window moves, not the slider. It's stuck on zero. My sound card drivers are installed and working correctly. I can play music and adjust the playback volume. The record volume used to work. I don't know why it stopped.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Russ

    Recording level is not used when ripping CDs.
