Creative Mediasource problem, please he

He everyone I have a query about Media source. I'm not sure if this is the right area to post it in. From time to time when im playing music in my PC Music Librar, the player plays songs as if they are all the same length i.e. 2:27 the next will be 2:27 etc etc. It then cuts the song off after this time has passed. Can anyone think why that might be? Its prob something simple but i cant see it. Cheers

I have the same problem with my zen it freezes at the screen i was wondering how you fixed the problem.

Creative Mediasource Problems Organizing (Nomad Zen Xt

I would appreciate anyone's help or if anyone is having the same problems.
My MP3 player (Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra) works, and I just have a tiny discrepency. After downloading and installing all the new firmware and the latest plug and play and the latest version of Mediasource, I find that my experience using Mediasource isn't as comfortable as the older versions used to be.
My main problem is that when I connect my Nomad, it comes up in Mediasource as a bunch of files. Its shows up on the far left window and it's divided into two folders: Music and Playlists. It did not used to have this distinction. The problem is that when I click on the music and it finally loads up, the music isn't sorted and organized the way it is when I browse my PC MUSIC LIBRARY. There is no seperate windows for Artist and Album in the Nomad Music folder...and I remember having that before i updated all the software. I have to sort all my music in one big line rather than divide it up into artists and albums the way you can with your PC Music Library.
Also, playlists on the MP3 player are a hassle now too, because they show up as yet another seperate folder of the artist WITHIN the Music folder. This means I have duplicates of songs now in different albums on my MP3 Player without realizing it because if I have an album on my MP3 player, and then I make a playlist on my computer and send the playlist into my MP3 player, it puts the song in AGAIN, and I have all these unwanted duplicates. The only way to avoid this is to make a playlist within my MP3 player but I frankly find that to be an unpleasant hassle to go through all my music which is poorly divided and organized. It also won't let me upload tracks that have the same file name, such as a song from an album and then a li've version of the same song, with different tag information but a filename that is identical such as "Cherub Rock.mp3" even if they are from two differen albums and folders on my computer. It didn't do this in the older versions, but I can't use the older version because the new firmware doesn't work with the older version apparently.
I just want Mediasource to work the way it used too. Does anyone else have this problem? Can I organize the music on my Nomad in Mediasource any easier?

Is there an way to get the Genre/Artist/Album views back once the PalysForSure version is installed? It seems like this is a giant step backwards for the CMS Organizer, especially since the firmware is presented as being an "upgrade".

Petition for last.fm plugin for creative mediasource pla

If you want a plugin for Last.fm's audioscrobbler for your creative mediasource player, please post in this thread...once, please do not submit posts for any other reason
signature # - the_can

As a Last.FM moderator we see quite a lot of threads and requests passing by for a pplugin that would allow people to "scrobble" the tracks they played on any of Creatives MP3-players. (Take a look at http://www.last.fm/forum/276/_/26462, for example). The problem Last.FM faces here is that, by the looks of it, getting a timestamped log-file from plays on a Creative-player is not possible (don't quote me here, I am just the messenger, and have hardly any knowledge concerning the plugins...)I do know that there is a community that is pretty positi've about Last.FM and that moderators nor staff can help them here. Perhaps the nice people developing the software for your players might want to take a look at the site and decide that it might be a nice idea to open up the software a bit, or develop a plugin themselfs. It might prevent people (like me) from buying an iPod, which does allow me to submit my listened songs to the site...

Creative MediaSource Playlist problems!!

(Creative MediaSource Playlist problems!!i Hello!? I am having a huge problem trying to add music to my playlist that I created using MediaSource (I have a 30GB Zen Vision M)
I'll create the playlist, but it is only saving the last track(s) I added to it.... for example:
I add "Human Touch", "Walk of Life" and "Sultans of Swing" at the same time
Those three songs show up on the playlist
Then I'll add "What's love got to do with it" by itself
Playlist now only contains "What's love got to do with it"
I should note that I recently had to perform a system recovery (since my computer crashed but I didn't lose any data). I have the latest firmware for my Zen Vision M and the latest version of the Creative Media Source Version 3.30.35)? Any questions please ask!
Thanks!

, I would suggest using the Zen Media Explorer for your device to make & edit playlists. It is on the install disc. MediaSource is not that good. Of all the Creative software the Zen Media Explorer for each player is one I do use often for this reason.

VERY BIG PROBLEMS WITH MY ZEN MICRO AND MEDIASOURCE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE RESPOND

Ok so a while back I had to give up my computer because it wasn't working.
I thought that with my new computer I'd be able to transfer all of my music from my zen micro onto my new computer.
Now my new computer is set up and I have installed creative mediasource and everything. I started to transfer my music from my zen onto my computer. My first 2 songs transfered successfully onto my computer. On the third song, I get this message:
"Unable to read file, file may be in use, missing, or corrupted."
I thought that maybe it was just that one song so I shrugged it off. But then it says the same thing for every single other song that i have! Only my first 2 songs out of my entire music library on my zen will transfer!!!
Please i really need your help!!!
And say that there is no hope in getting the rest of my songs to transfer and i have to download 094 songs from limewire? I'll surely be arrested for downloading that much! What should i do if i must download all of them?
And one more problem with my zen: Some of my Jump Little Children songs are doing something weird. The song will be fine and then a clip from another song will play during it! And then press next and it just keeps playing all of my Jump songs in order even though my player is on shuffle and they do the same thing with the clip from another song interupting it. Whats going on?
Most importantly though, i really need the questions answered about transfering from my zen to my computer because i'll be getting a new player soon. But this is my entire music library at stake!! PLEASE RESPOND!!!

I cannot get Media Source Player to work at all. I always receive an error message called:

Also, there is an error report that I am asked to send, but I myself can't understand it. Also, I cannot uninstall "MediaSource" from the "Add or Remove" prgram in 'control panel'.

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.

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?
emprof

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.

Please assist with Creative MediaSource installat

I'm installing the Creative MediaSource software for my new NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra 40GB and I've been given the option of installing any or all of the following components:
- Creative MediaSource Nomad 2/3/Zen Plugin
- Creative MediaSource Jukebox Plugin
- Creative MediaSource MuVo Plugin
- Creative MediaSource II / MG Plugin
- Creative MediaSource Player Skin Pack
It seems to me that some of these are unnecessary in my case. Can anyone suggest which of those options are necessary for proper use with my player?
Thanks for the guidance!

Those plugins are there only if you have any of the other players listed so that Creative Mediasource will recognize them when they are being plugged into your computer. But you still probably need to install their drivers. As long as you have the drivers to recognize your Xtra in Windows, then Creative Mediasource should have no problem syncing with your Xtra.

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) (<FONT color=#222222 size=><B>23.98 MB</B>)
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.

Creative Mediasource Organizer Losing Year T

I use Windows XP, Creative Mediasource Organizer version 3.30.35 and my player is a Zen MicroPhoto 8G. I have over 4000 MP3 files organized with id tags in Creative Mediasource Organizer. These are almost exclusivly?MP3 files that I recorded myself. Of the 4000 files?there are only a handful, just?one album that could possibly find tag information?to pull from the internet. Yesterday,?more than?200 of my mp3 files?had blank?year tags. I entered the correct year in several dozen of these so that only about 65 had blank year tags. Then I closed the software and turned of my computer. Today I opened Creative Mediasource Organizer to work on filling in those blank year tags. There were over 400 blank year tags today. What is happening? I have PC Music Library open. I select a single file, right click, click properties, click tag information, enter the year in the year field, click OK. Then I right click and select "update tag" click "yes" to confirm that I want the changes to apply to the file itself and not just to the PC Media Library. Please, someone help me understand why?the number of blank year tags is growing instead of shrinking? What can I do to retain the information I enter in these tags?

YESTERDAY:?Monday March 2, 2007:?I edited my media library from within Creative MediaSource so that there are no files without a valid year in the year tag. For?each MP3 file the other standard tags also contain meaningful data. These are?title, artist, album and?genre,?but not track. I don't see any practical way to use the track field for some of these files, so not all of them have a track number. The files I want in my media library are all the MP3 and WMA files within C:/MP3 and it's subfolders. The properties of C:/MP3 as viewed from "My Computer" are 3922 files and 249 folders. About a dozen are WMA files and one is a text file. All the others are MP3 files. The problem is that?there are quite a number of duplicate entries. And the Media Library is reporting several hundred more files within C:/MP3?than "My Computer" is reporting there.
I used "Tools/Settings/PC Media Library/ Delete invalid entries" but it did NOT remove the duplicate entries. Exiting the program and opening it again did not correct the count either. So I selected ALL the files, right clicked, and selected "update tags." I clicked YES to update the tag data from the media library to the files. When that operation was completed, I deleted all the files from the library but not from the computer. And?now I am?importing all the files within C:/MP3?back into the library. It says "now transferring 859 of 3920 files." This is good! 3920 is very close to 3922 minus the one text file. I want to see if, when this transfer is finished, I will have the correct number of MP3 files in my media library, and I want to see if the tag data, including the year data, remains?intact after this transfer. The transfer is complete. I do have 3920 files in my media library now and the data in the id tags appears to be intact. Hopefully, this will still be the case when I open the software tomorrow. THE NEXT DAY:?Tuesday, March 3, 2007: Grrr! I now have 3950 files in my media library where it should be only 3920. I did not add anything ?or make any edits. Exactly 30 of these entries?have blank year fields. I'm thinking that Creative MediaSource is NOT?loosing the data in year tags as I first thought, rather it's ADDING entries that are identical to existing entries except that the year fields in the added entries are empty. I think that if I enter the correct year data, I will end up with 30 entries that are truly exact duplicates. I don't see a pattern or clue to tell me why these 30 and not the others ... they have different artists, different albums, genres and the data in the missing year fields was not all the same. In the track fields, a few are blank, but most of them have data. "Tools/Settings/PC Music Library/Clean up now" did not elimiinate these 30 extra entries. Looking at the properties of C:/MP3 from "My Computer" still shows 3922 files (one is a text file) ... From my experiments yesterday, I am pretty sure that I can delete these 30 extra entries and be left with valid entries for all my files. This is frustrating. I'm hoping that these observations will be helpful to a programmer working on the next version of Creative MediaSource. I would send these comments directly to them, but they don't seem to provide a way for me to do that.

Creative Mediasource problem, please he
