Creative micro media explo

i have been trying for a week to get my creative media explorer to recognize my zen micro. I have updated firmware, removed firmare(even had the prob of my own computer not recognizing the updated firmware etc)updated the firmware for the playforsure that a mod suggested. I have now transferred all tracks/playlists back to my mp3 and at least half of the songs dont show up due to some licensing error. some were able to be re-registered and some were not. It this typical to have all of these struggles? Any suggestion on how to get creative media explorer to recognize it or what i may be doing wrong to get the tracks back on my mp3. I have already sent it in to creative once, so that is not an option. thanks in advance

thanks...if my computer recognizes the yahoo music engine that i use to dl songs, wouldnt windows media explorer notice it as well? I havent dl'e the playforsure firmware, but dont care to lose all of my files and have to add them back to my player..do you suggest i dl the firmware to see if that is the issue?

    i got the new firmware for my zen micro 5 gb. since then zen micro media explorer wont work so i'v had to use the Creative MediaSource Organizer and i dont like it. Is there a way for me to update Zen Micro Media Explorer so i can organize my player in a easier way or is there a better organizing program?

  • Experiencing some problems after updating Zen Micro Media Explo

    I downloaded this update: Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB) (3 Jul 05)
    And now the Create a new playlist in device option is not available.
    Also, when I click Organize Music In Device, the following message comes up (but it still works ok, just a bit worried about the error message): Windows cannot find 'C:Program Files\Creative\Creative Zen Micro\Zen Micro Media Explorer\CTJBPlay.exe' etc...
    What's wrong?
    Answers to both questions would be greatly appreciated.

    Try these few things.....
    - Connect ur micro before u insert the CD
    2 - Try reinstalling the program, which should normally do the trick
    3 - Update your firmware. (not sure if that will help)
    4 - Try to rip cds that are only copyrighted (rip only original cds that u get in stores)

  • Updated Zen Micro Media Explo

    I've just updated to the newer zen micro media explorer, so that I could use it with my newly updated firmware. But now I find the explorer missing alot of stuff that was there in the old one? What happened to the neat sorting by artist/genre/album boxes to the left? Right now it just displays the list of mp3s as files, how am I suppose to edit and reorganize my music?
    Someone help?
    Thanx

    For MediaSource to detect your PlaysForSure firmware Zen Micro, you have to download and install "Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)". However, it will not have the Genre/Artist/Album windows. That is the nature of PlaysForSure firmware whereby the track listing is by directories.

  • [MICRO] Zen Micro Media Explo

    When i try to transfer music files with Zen Micro Media Explorer (with the "import music" function) to my Zen Micro, it always says the tranfer is failed. But the player IS recognized by the program.
    Also i know it is not my usb-cable or the files i try to transfer, because when i try it with WMP0 it works fine. As i think WMP0 is not as convenient as Zen Micro Media Explorer, i would like to fix it. Anyone has an idea? (Creative MediaSource works fine too)

    Downgrade to firmware version .0.03 and uninstall any software you have and start from the CD. Then re-install the Zen Media Explorer from CD. It should be fine.
    You could also download the update for the Zen Media Explorer with firmwares that have PlayForSure technology. Updates are here

  • Creative micro media explorer connection is

    I recently upgraded the firmware on my zen micro to the latest 2.XX version on the website to make it Plays for sure compatible. That all went fine and the player is functioning well. It shows up in windows explorer and I can transfer files properly. WMP 0 & , creative media source, zencast and zen sych manager all recognize it as connected and transfer files. The only thing that doesn't function is zen micro media explorer that shows it as not connected despite the fact that micro media explorer starts up as soon as the player is connected. Already running the latest micromedia web update from the website. Wouldn't matter except that I cannot use the PIM functions that are only accessible through the media explorer. Tried to contact creative but they blew me off since the player is past warranty, despite the fact that their software glitch caused the problem. Seem as if the software doesn't support the firmware update..... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I'm having the same issue. Upgraded the Firmware to the 2.2.2.0 version due to Media Player wouldn't cooperate, it does now. But then my version of Media Explorer says that it can't detect a device. I then downloaded & have been attempting the?Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB)(that comes with the "Plays for Sure" )?Have been trying to no avail to get that to install properly, only to be running in circles.
    It'll start up looking like it'll cooperate, then it prompts For your Device to plugged in & turned on, then asks for which version of firmware is currently running, (Version 2 selected), then the prompt of "Setup could not detect any portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected."? Click OK to continue.
    Then I get the prompt "Please remove any Zen Micro Devices before the installation"? I unplug my Zen Micro, click OK, prompt "Please reconnect the Device", I plug it back in...and continuous error prompt of "Setup could not detect any portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected."(Hello! It's plugged as requested)..and round & round it goes to no avail. Any Help?

  • Zen Micro - Problems with Zen Micro Media Explo

    I've successfully installed the Zen Media Explorer and Media Source. I've used Zen Media explorer at work just fine but seem to be missing something on my home desktop. Everything in Media Explorer seems to work except for the "Rip Audio CD Tracks to Device" mode. When I select this feature in the main menu screen, it says insert audio cd in dri've, which I do. Then it says cd detected...but then all of the sudden I get a new dialog box that says "Error: Unable to load database component. The program will now exit." Has anyone else seen this? This is quite annoying as I have it working just fine at work and I think this is the most seamless method of getting cds tracks onto my micro....
    Thanks for any help you can provide...

  • Zen Micro not recognised using zen micro media explo

    Hi?get the error "device not connected" when I use the above facility,even though IT IS plugged in with the USB cable?Player is recognised in Windows Media Player. Any ideas ??Thanks??

    The problem will be the same I would think because the issue is that the player is an older one, so WMP does not recognise it. Unless they change it in te full version, which is probably only a slim chance, you will still need to download the hotfix and the other update.
    But if i were you i wait for the full version anyway, the Beta 2 is better but still far from perfect...

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explo

    I've lost the Cd that came with my Zen Micro Photo and i can't seem to find any places where I can download zen micro media explorer.
    I tried the Zen Micro's media explorer but that doesn't work.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks

    Hmmm, are you opening it up after you plug in the Zen?

  • WHY WON'T CREATIVE ZEN MICRO MEDIA EXPLORER RECOGNIZE MY ZEN MI

    I am wanting to start transfering music over from my laptop to my zen micro.
    I try go into Zen Micro Media Explorer and it says this: The device is not connected. Please connect your zen micro to the computer.
    My zen micro is connected and it says "docked" on the screen.
    When I connect it to my laptop with the usb cable it makes the connection sound and MTP Media screen pops up giving me 2 options: syncronise files to this device using Windows Media Player or to take no action. Shouldn't the micro media explorer option pop up here too?
    How can i solve this?

    No problem
    It's better to direct folks to the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post, which takes them here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net. This has the full set of help that has worked to-date with solving MTP problems.

  • Creative micro mp3 pla

    i am trying to download driver for my mps player it is the red creative micro 2004 i have windows vista and it says not supported can any one help me resolve this

    You did not say if it is MicroPhoto or the black&white(just micro) any way I would say you need to update your firmware to plays for sure. It would be easiest to do the forware update on an XP machine if one is available. 2.2.02 is the firmware needed to make it useable on a Vista machine with windows media player . The firmware listed above is for the Micro not the MicroPhoto That firmware # is.3.0(for microPhoto) Read the requirements first you may NOT be able to update the firmware using a Vista OS ?? http://support.creative.com/downloads/welcome.aspx?

    just got a zen micro and guess what i am having the same problem, running on widows ME, went through the installation procedure. get a big red x that says windows cannot find driver, tired to reinstall the drivers both from the cd and from the usbman.com site, all end up in the same place, reinstalling drivers is not just happening. the systems subolder shows a yello question mark under zen creative.
    a hint or two:
    . i had the same problem with my Rave mp3 player and the service support fellow asked me to download the files from usbman.com, still didnot work. returned the **bleep** thing.
    now i have the zen and guess what, it is doing the same thing, wonder if it is windows me?
    2. when i restart the computer is get the following message (this is new for today)
    windows could not upgrade file % etc. etc. this error happened on the restart after installation.
    help me please.

  • "Not Compatible" to media explo

    I got a zen micro for christmas yesterday. I've tried to transfer my cds to it since last night, but I can't seem to figure it out. I've followed the instruction manual btw.
    So, I think the problem may have something to do with an error screen ("not compatible to media explorer"). Please, could someone help me out with this? I really want to get this thing going. Much thanks for an of you guys' help.
    Lauren

    First things first, make sure you've got the latest drivers and software. Assuming you're running the v firmware (check on the player using System > Information) then get the following:
    . Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
    2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
    3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource
    4. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
    Install , then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2, 3 and 4 (the player must be connected for 2 to verify you have a Creative product).
    If the player still doesn't seem to connect, have a look in Device Manager and see if it's showing without error and with a driver version.

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer (P4S) Problems, anyo

    I may have missed a thread on this, but frankly, I'm surprised that no one else is complaining about this problem.
    Since upgrading my firmware to make the Micro Audible-compatible, I find the new version of "Zen Micro Media Explorer" suddenly very deficient!
    Selecting "organize music in device" now offers a VERY limited function. The old interface is gone, replaced with just another (windows) Explorer window with a folder called "Music" in it. You can't sort your player's contents by genre or album, just artist (folders).
    If you open an artist folder, then album folder to get to the tracks, you can't "edit track properties" on more than one track at a time (for instance, if you need to correct the genre on all files for an album or audiobook).
    All these options USED to be available in the old version of "Zen Media Explorer". Now I'm regretting upgrading to the "plays for sure" firmware -- this is probably what's causing the limitations.
    I'd sure be curious to see if anyone else finds this as frustrating as I do... I can't imagine Creative making a software upgrade LESS useful, but it appears they have!
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I completely agree...this new software is a major step back! ... I get the feeling that Creative struck some sort of deal with Microsoft and dumbed down their software in favor of Media Player 0!
    For a while there, I was able to turn all my audio over to Creative's software - I was using it to listen to the music on my PC, organize, burn, transfer to my Zen, and life was great!
    Now that I've "upgraded" to this new firmware, Microsoft's Media Player keeps butting its way onto my screen and draining all the life out of my computer!
    For example, I used to be able to right-click on a song and select send to --> Zen...now all I can do is add the song to my Media Player sync list! Media Play is such a resource hog that i don't even bother... I'd rather just go into Creative's software and use the import wizard.
