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.

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)

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

Why does the Vision M come with old Creative Mediasource ,and not version

I just got a Vision M player and was disappointed to find it came with the older version of Mediasource, I recently purchased and returned a Zen V 2 gb. player that came with version 5 software. I'm confused why the M only gets version 3.30.35 . I removed version 5 before I loaded the M software thinking I should to avoid conflict. Has anyone had any problems using version 5 with the new Vision M ? I should have copied the disc before I returned it,oh well. I've tried to update using the autoupdate with no luck I keep getting an error at 33% then windows asks to send and error report or de-bug. I've given up on the update site.Message Edited by Roadslayer on 09-26-2006 07:03 PM

Zen Vision M was released earlier than Zen V. As such, it has the older version of MediaSource in the product CD.

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,
ZP

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 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.

Creative MediaSource and SB Audigy

I have an SB Audigy Digital Entertainment and have installed Creative MediaSource 3.30.2. My question is how do you enable eax, svm and crossfading in MediaSource? All of them are grayed out from the Play menu. Also the effects bar does not appear. From what I know audio cleanup, time scaling, svm and crossfading is supported by Audigy.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have SB0360 (SB Audigy 2z platinum pro) with the exact same problem. EAX, SVM and Crossfading options are grayed out from the Play menu and also do not appear at bottom of player view...
I have CMS Version 03.30.2 installed. Also have the Audio Console. I tried installing the
SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_2004.exe drivers. The install messages indicated a successfull installation and instructed me to reboot.... I then attempted to install the DVDA_PCApp_LB_2.00.75.exe but the Install generated the msg ' setup did not detect the required components setup will now exit '
I'm confused... (I received no errors when installing 2.08.2004 drivers)
I am running Windows XP SP2. I went into the hardware device manager to display the driver version under the Sound, video and game controllers (Creative SB Audigy 2ZS (WDM). Drivers are identified as
Driver Provider: Creative , Driver Date: 2/8/2005, Driver Version 5.2.8.64
I'm confused by the CMS version versus the driver version...
Does the CMS Version 3.30.2 mean I've got .84.55-R version of drivers?
I bought the PC in OCT 2004 with the Card already installed... The install disk is dated 2003 and has a s/n 320ML0000230 on the sleeve and on the disk...
I'm assuming that this is not the 2.08.2004 drivers but how do I know for sure?
Can anyone help explain how I can resolve this?

Creative MediaSource and Zen file l

When I attach my Zen Micro to the PC and open Creative MediaSoure the album list for the Zen is not complete. It displays only about 70% of the albums that are on the Zen. The Zen plays perfectly. Do I need to do something to make sure I get the complete list displayed?

Does MediaSource and the zen xtra support secure WMA fil

I bought a CD that uses some encryption utilities from a company called sunncomm (real blockheads @ that company, from the tech support to the VP by the way) It would seem that I'm able to download the "digital keys" from their web site however I get the message "license required" when I try to copy the songs to my zen extra using mediasource.
Anyone ever had experience with this?
....and for the record I would not recommend buying any CD's that are using this company's (sunncomm)system, or anything from RCA records. In their effort to thwart illegal distribution the two have decided to punish those of us who legally purchase their products and simply want to listen to it in our preferred format and on our preferred players. I really don't listen to anything on CD anymore, as my CD's just get loaded onto my player, in fact I'd taken the CD player out of my car all together and the zen is the only thing that gets played there. Without the ability to transfer the songs from CD to my player what I wind up with is a fifteen dollar coaster

The CD is Contraband from Velvet Revolver. It's released on the RCA label under BMG music. The name of the company that delevloped and runs the protection software is SunnComm. I'm working on a list of other titles and artists that have this installed on their releases well. CL product users may find that useful as a list of titles to avoid.
The thing that is really bothersome is that nowhere on the CD did it indicate this protection was there when I bought it. Only when I popped it into my PC did it become evident. This as it turns out would have been a bit different if I owned an ipod, as since ipod has it's issues with WMA files to begin with they don't even pretend to support anything related to ipod. While that's a move that I'm sure CL thinks is just fine, it's seems like a bit of a bonehead move for the record company. What really irks me about sunn comm it they are quite frankly lying about what their product does, it does NOT allow someone who has legally bought a music release to listen to that release on a digital player like they it does ... which as a consumer is a right I expect to have when I purchase music in any format. I've spoke with several people at sunn comm and they are of no help and obviously do not care about any issues a consumer has with their product. I'm also in contact with RCA and BMG about this mistake they are making in not properly informing consumers about what their product actually is. I'm not a music pirate, I bought their release intending it only for my own personal use, but they have turned the simple act of buying music in to a week long Odyssey and headache. No one at Sunn Comm or BMG seems to understand that which does not bode well for for either company or industry.

Just downloaded the trial for the Creative Cloud and the desktop icon won't open

I wanted to try out photoshop before I bought it, so downloaded the trial of the creative cloud and whilst was downloading photoshop, it crashed my laptop, forcing me to restart it and now when I try to open the creative cloud icon on my desktop it doesn't open at all. Can anyone suggest anything please?

uninstall it using the uninstaller, clean per Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
and then try reinstalling.

Zen Vision, MediaSource and the Mac

I am considering recommending that my girlfriend?purchase of?a 30 or 60Gb Zen Vision M as a basis for digitising her music collection. This recommnedation is based on my happy experiences with the excellent MediaSoure product on my ageing JukeBox III. However, she has a Mac computer and not a PC. Any basic (or?indeed detailed) guidance or recommendations that anyone can offer?Much appreciated. Also, does anyone know how I might be able to get MediaSource 5 (PC) to work alongside my olde Creative JUkeBox III -according to the autoupdate, this old thing is supported any more??Nick

APerfectCircle,
The Zen Sleek Photo does exist and it's available. It may not be within your region for purchase but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Since the player does exist, this thread really serve no purpose at all and will only mislead others so I'm closing this.

Creative MediaSource and I

Is their anyway to get creative mediaaource to manage the music on my ipod shuffle instead of having to use itunes(itunes irritates me endless).

I suppose, only, if you can import iTunes playlists into MediaSource.
Since I have no iPod I can't tell if next suggestions are usable the way you want.
If you can see iPod listed on Sources (MediaSource Organizer) can't you make a playlist using Organizer (your sources have to be saved as wav, mp3 or wma then).
There are also a a free free Traktor BeatPort Player (supports importing iTunes playlists and suffle).
Also, can you make other format playlists (.m3u or .pls, ...) on iPod/iTunes so MediaSource Organizer can import them.
Supported formats are "Windows Media" playlists (asx, wpl) "WinAmp" playlists (b4s, m3u, pls) [as named by Creative ].
