Creative Mediasource 5 and 24bit flac

I cannot get 24bit flac files to play with Mediasource 5 ver 5.26.02
I have previously downloaded flacs from the same site and regularly make my own. Media source has no problem with these. My own flacs are made from 16bit CDROMs using Exact Audio Copy and the latest Flac encoder (I buy and keep the CDs as backups and use the flacs to play music.)
I suspect the problem is the 24 bit Flacs as they have a far higher bit rate. Typically around 1750kbps as opposed to under a 1000kbps in my home made and other flac files.
The files are not corrupt as Win7 Media Player and Foobar2000 plays them fine!!
Anyone know what is wrong with Mediasource 5 Organiser / Player?

Bump!!

Creative MediaSource 5 and Roxio Creator 2009 Incompatabilit

Hi,
I would just like to bring to your attention what appears to be a program incompatability between one of the Roxio 2009 Creator Suite applications and Creai've MediaSource 5.
When the end-user installs the suite, and updates, and reboots, if the user were then to launch Creative MediaSource 5, it will launch the Windows Installer and begin configuring CinePlayer and ask for the install media.
This will happen everytime the application is launched.
If you require any further information for diagnostics purposes, please let me know.
Andrew.

I?have both?Roxio Creator Suite 2009 ultimate version ..0 build B0E and Mediasource 5.20.23 on my PC (XP SP3) and do not observe that. Mediasource organiser or player open normally, no windows installer launch. Roxio Cineplayer works normally, as do all other parts of the suite.
However, I have not (yet) had?any updates to creator 2009 offered, so maybe that update you mention?is what causes the problem in your case. On the Roxio boards, some report getting offered an update, others not. You could check out there, see if anyone has similar problem, or post there.

Creative MediaSource Organiser not responding ¡HEL

Hello,
I have a Muvo v00 for a long time now, and it works great, but some time ago I installed the Creative MediaSource. It was working great for some days (really good for transfering the music from my computer to the Muvo, etc) and then one day it suddenly stopped working: when I started the Creative MediaSource Organiser, and imported files, I got an error window saying that the program encountered an error and had to be restarted. Since then I cannot use the MediaSource Organiser, although the normal MediaSource Player is working (one song at a time). Could anyone please help me solve the problem with the Organiser?
Thank you very much!
Alexandra

Yes, while playing a song in Creative Mediasource for no reason the sound goes off completely. This affects all the sound for the computer. Quiting Creative Mediasource does not restore the sound, neither does restarting the computer. I have to use the restore defaults to get the sound back and this works immediately. As I said this problem has only started with the new drivers.
That is why I said that MediaSource is not the cultprit. The driver probably is the cultprit.

I installed MS5 using auto update but it did not uninstall the old media source. After the install of MS5 I was having a conflict with another program that is in my startup folder causing it to not start. So I uninstalled media source 3 thru add and remove programs in control panel and it seems to have fixed the conflict with the program in the startup folder. Media Source 5 works fine but when I check the Creative website for updates it wants me to install all the Media Source 3 programs. Is this necessary or a glitch at Creative?
It seems that MediaSource 3 and MediaSource 5 are designed to coexist with each other. I believe that MediaSource 3 may still be needed for some (old) products. That may be the reason why installing MediaSource 5 does not automatically uninstall MediaSource 3.

Creative mediasource resets my computer when I run

<SPAN class=postbody>Hi I have Win XP Home with latest updates, 3.0ghz pentium 4 cpu, 000mb ram, 20gig harddri've, Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 sound card. When I run Creative Mediasource Organizer or Player my computer it immediately loads, and then crashes and resets. It worked perfectly a month ago when I last used it to put music on my Zen Touch. The creative mediasource software and drivers were included in my CD-rom that I got with Audigy 2 sound card in Christmas 2003 (I think). I have tried uninstalling all the creative software and drivers and then doing a re-install but the same happens again when I run Mediasource Organizer or Player it resets. I am trying to put music on to my Zen Touch and I can't because of this problem. I am just going to use my brother's laptop to see if I can get it work on there. Thanks if you can help.

Got it working now.

Creative Zen Micro and Podcast

I want to subscribe to a series of National Public Radio podcasts on a tool (maybe iTunes but I don't think the Creative Zen Micro works with iTunes) and be able to easily sync these onto my player. I have a Creative Zen Micro about a year old (or more?).
Does anyone subscribe and download podcasts to the Zen Micro that can post a How To? I open the Creative MediaSource Tool and can see the podcasts I want to sync to my mp3 in the "now playing" window but don't know how to get them to upload to the mp3.
Thanks for any help.

Creative MediaSource Go! software updat

I've scanned the postings and can't find an answer to this. How do I update Creative MediaSource Go! to a newer version? I was viewing the other updates available for my system, I saw that the CMS Go! version needed to be 3.0 or newer. I have .0.26.0 and SB Audigy 2, which came with my Dell in 2004. After I updated the driver about 2 weeks ago, everything seems to be working fine, but if there is a way to update CMS Go!, I can't find it.
With all the problems people seem to be having with SB lately, I'm reluctant to fix something that currently isn't broken, but I'm thinking about the future. If I don't update what might need updating, will I be abandoned at a later date?
Thanks.

Creative MediaSource and ID3 t

Creative MediaSource doesn't seem to update it's internal database from ID3 tags. For example I ripped a CD and MediaSource failed to get the year of the album. So, I added the information to the Id tags using Winamp. I reimported the file into MediaSource but it still fails to display the year correctly. Does Mediasource ignore ID tag information accept to overwrite it's
Thanks,

Thanks, yes that worked. It's a nuisance that the updating doesn't occur automatically but it's much better than not working at all.

'Creative Mediasource Organizer' Folders and the ZEN V pla

Using the Creative Mediasource Organizer, I've set up a few Folders on the 'Creative Zen V' player but when I undock the player and use it to find and play the songs, they're not organized by the Folders. In fact, I don't the folder 'structure' at all. Is there a way I can see and use my folder structure I've set up for the player? and, if not, then why does the Organizer enable me to set up folders?Thanks.

Folders on the device are merely for your own convenience and organization. The device relies solely on ID TAGS on how it plays and displays the various tracks. You will need to get your tracks in order and edit the tags.

NOMAD Explorer and Creative MediaSource cr

Is anybody experiencing this frustrating problem?
I recently purchased a Creative Nomad Zen Xtra and installed the included software (drivers, Creative MediaSource and Nomad Explorer) on a Toshiba M200 notebook. My Creative MediaSource version is 2.02.06. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP.
When I plug in my Nomad, Windows detects the device just fine.
When I run MediaSource, everything looks good. I can see PC Music Library, My Computer and NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra in the left Sources pane. When I click on the NOMAD icon in sources, then on Music Library, all the music on my Nomad shows up in the right pane.
By the way, so far I've been using Windows Media Player to transfer my music files to the Nomad, no problem. The reason I started using MediaSource is that I want to create playlists for my Nomad, and I can't seem to find a way to create or transfer playlists themselves using Windows MP.
Here's the problem. Whenever I click (left or right mouse button--it doesn't matter) on one of the music files shown on my Nomad, MediaSource crashes. If I run Nomad Explorer, the same thing happens when I click on a music file located in the right pane (file is located on the Nomad), except here Windows Explorer crashes, of course.
I tried upgrading my Creative software to get the latest version of everything, but the same crash keeps occuring. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, etc, but nothing seems to work. In total frustration, I installed the Creative Software on a different Toshiba notebook (also running Windows XP Pro SP). On that machine, the old version of the software (from my CD) works just fine! However, I really can't use that system for my music.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this crash? This consistent bug is preventing me from doing anything useful with music files on my Nomad using the Creative Software.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for the information.
Yes, I did try upgrading ALL of the Creative software on my notebook, including the driver. That did not solve the crash problem. At that point, I tried uninstalling all Creative Software, rolled back my system to the state before I installed any Creative software (using WinXP System Restore), and reinstalled the original Creative software. The problem remains. I guess I could try rolling the system state back again, but then install only the latest version of the software. I don't know. At this point I am flailing and I am thinking there is no way to make this stuff work on my computer.
An alternati've route is this: Is there any other software I can use to create/manage playlists on my Nomad? If Windows Media Player 0 can do it, I would be thrilled. It seems pretty solid, as far as I can tell.

Creative mediasource and Burning Di

I got Creative Mediasource with my Creative Nomad MuVo2 Player. I have "auto upgraded" the software and the plugins through the site.
There doesn't seem to be any burn option, although the help file tells how to do it.
I know that there are better burning programs out there, I have Nero, but thought that it might be convenient to burn from Mediasource.
Anyone know why I can't burn with my version (latest upgrade as well)?

Do the update manually. 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.
- For NOMAD MuVo series: Download and install the latest Creative MuVo series plugin .0.05 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.

MPEG-4 Audio and Creative MediaSource Organi

I used iTunes before purchasing Audigy 4, and a good chunk of my music is in MPEG-4 Format, but my creative Mediasource Organizer won't play them. Anyone know what and how to convert them so they will play on the Organizer?

iTunes will convert to MP3. I think this is probably your best option.

Creative Mediasource and the

Hi everybody. I am new to this forum but I have been a Creative user for a long time. My question is this I just bought a new 8gb Zen and the software that came with it did not include the Creative Mediasource organizer. I love the mediasource organizer becouse it puts everything in one easy window, i can see all of the songs on my computer and also what is already on my player. The Zen Media Organizer that came with my new Zen is not very easy to work with. It just shows the songs as File folders. Am I missing something here, why doesn't the new Zen come with the Mediasource Organizer. I like the Mediasource better than Windows Media Player. Please Help

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.
