Creative MP3 player plays songs alphabetically instead of in track order

I use a Creative Nomad Zen 20GB USB 2.0 MP3 player with iTunes 7. Lately, songs listed in the correct track order on a given album in iTunes show up listed and get played in alphabetical order when copied to the Zen.
Any way in iTunes around this? I've been using XNJB, but it seems like it should be do-able in iTunes - especially since I wasn't having this problem in previous versions.
I've searched the forum but seem to have missed what is probably a common issue. Please point me to the right thread if this is the case.
Thanks, R.
PowerMac G5 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Also, I'm using iTunes 11.0.5, the latest version as far as I know.

Savings for Creative Mp3 Player

BestBuy is having a 25% off all creative mp3 player sale and I was looking at the Zen Micro Photo. I want an mp3 player that can hold alot of songs that I can run with, but I found out mini-hard dri'ves and regular ones arn't suitable for running...So I am going to stick with a large capacity player with alot of features instead of a flash player but I just can't choose. Plz leave suggestions if you were in my place shopping for an mp3 player.

bosoxxrwd,
If you're planning to do exercise while using a player. I would suggest going after a flash based player like the Zen Nano Plus, Zen Nano and MuVo series instead of microdri've or harddisk based player.

Creative MP3 Player (Microphoto) Blank LCD Display Scr

[size="">Hi, The LCD Display Screen on the Creative MP3 Player is blank. The blue background light will come on but nothing on the screen. I saw that it was suggested to update the firmware, however, I have no idea how to do that. If someone can explain to me how to do that I will try it. Or maybe you can suggest something else that I can do. I already tried several things suggested on your website, like removing the battery and installing it again, etc. I would appreciate it if someone would help me. Thanks!

[size="">Good Morning,[size="">I tried the firmware upgrade, however, the screen is still blank. Should I have removed the batter and re-install it again? I tried calling support, however if my product is not in warranty it really doesn't give me that many options or refers me to anyone. Is there a telephone number in particular I should call. Thank you for your advise though, I appreciate it!? Have a

SL3100 directly compatible with new bluetooth creative mp3 player?

Hi
I have found an old pair of creative 3100 that I though I had lost. Does they work nowadays automatically (without the bluetooth transmitter) with new bluetooth-enabled creative mp3 player like the ZEN X-Fi3? Will the command buttons on the headset work when directly connected to the ZEN X-Fi3?
Or I have to use the old transmitter? Will the command button be usable if i connect the headset via the old bluetooth transmitter?
Thanks for the answers

So far it's work fine after I update the firmware, thanks. but I still kind of '50-50' with it.

How can I connect my Creative mp3 Player and my car ste

I need to connect my Creative mp3 Player and my car stereo (Peugeot 407 standard car stareo). It haven't cassette player or an "AUX IN" hole. Any Idea?

<FONT face=Helv size=2>
Unfortunately (for us consumers) there are few options.
) Use an FM transmitter which does not work in your area.
2) There was a post in this forum where the person had a device installed that would switch from the car antenna to an FM transmitter. So effecti'vely, the FM transmitter is spliced right into the antenna line into your car stereo. The theory is that it's either using the car antenna or your MP3 player, but never both. There are no competing FM stations. The use also said this cost them $200 .... which makes option 3 a better deal considering FM will decrease the fidelity of a MP3 player.
3) Buy a car stereo with an input jack .. as SSR as sited.
4) You can buy a cassette adapter ... if your current car stereo has a circa 20th century cassette player.
5) Start a grass roots effort to lobby car manufacturers to put in a input jack in the car stereos. The American companies might be softened after this SUV bust.
If you pick #5, I'm available to stamp and stuff envelopes ......

My Forth Creative Mp3 Player and counting

I have just got my fourth creative Mp3 player. You would have though I would have learnt my lesson by now!
First one (Zen Micro)was faulty when purchased so went straight back to the shop.
Second (Zen Micro) lasted 8 months before stopping working one day.
Third (Zen Microphoto) lasted 3 months before the screen stopping working correctly.
Forth and current(Zen Touch 40gb)lasted 3 days before becoming faulty.
I've contacted support as it seems to have the same firmware error problem as numerous others. Is there a fix? I have seen so many threads but not many positi've results.
As far as I am concerned this is the last Creative player I shall buy. If they can't get me fixed up it's going back to the shop for a refund or exchange for anything but a creative player.
Do others have such a poor experience of Creative players or am I just having a bad experience?Message Edited by Ainslie on 07-0-20070:37 AM

I bought a 30gb Nomad Jukebox Xtra 3 or 4 years ago, and only now it quit on me. And only the LED screen, after going through a rainstorm; everything else still works. I just bought a 30gb Zen Vision M to replace her. So far so good. Defecti've products happen. So do unlucky people

Muvo Creative MP3 Player prob

My MUVO Creative MP3 player...as seen here-http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=25&product=099
Well, anyway,Whenever i turn it on, the green light that signals it being on, will flash red, and after about minute or so, turn off, i thought this was just a battery problem..but i switched in a brand new fresh battery...and it still did it, anyone know the problem?
thanks

The manual says that a flashing red light is a battery problem. Have you checked your battery contacts and cleaned them up? How is the player when you connect it to your PC?
You could try a firmware update - there was a new version on the UK site in July of this year. It needs Recovery Mode so make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. You also need to d/l and install the Mass Storage Driver at the top of the page first.

IPod Nano 6th Gen. How do I get it to play songs through my car in album order instead of each song in alphabetical order ?

Basically I've got a Volkswagen Passat which allows me to play an MP3 player through the radio system. I also own a iPod Nano (6th Generation) which I'm hoping to use in my car. Have just tried it now and it seems to just want to play my songs in alphabetical order instead of each album in order. Is this something I need to change on my iPod or in my car ?

Hi wisdoms2,
It sounds like the settings may be set to play the same song over and over. Check out the chart on page 21 of this user guide and see if that is what is causing the issue:

I can't put my songs that I purchased on my Creative MP3 player

Can someone please help me?

The protected AAC songs sold in the iTunes Store are not compatible with any portable player except the iPod. If you want songs for your Creative, you would be better off shopping at a store that sells mp3s, such as audiolunchbox.com or amazon.com.
The Creative line also plays protected WMA files, which are sold in many online stores, but I suggest you avoid them too.
As for your iTunes purchases, you can use iTunes to burn them to an audio CD.

Creative mp3 player compatibility with PFS car au

I was wondering if the "Plays For Sure" compatible Creative Players will work with the PFS compatible car audio receivers from Kenwood and Alpine. I'm mostly wondering about my Zen Xtra, but I'm sure others would like to know if their players would work also. Is Creative pursuing testing this, or should I just assume that all PFS works with all other PFS?

I purchased music from iTunes, but there is one
problem, I can't play it on my Creative Zen Vision
MP3 player.
Yes, you are right.
I even burned a CD with
the music, and it won't play on my car stereo??
You must burn a CD-Audio to play it in your home/car stereo.
If you also want to play those songs on your Creative player, once you've done the CD-Audio you can rip it again in MP3.

Using Purchased iTunes Music on my Creative MP3 player?

I purchased music from iTunes, but there is one problem, I can't play it on my Creative Zen Vision MP3 player. I went to iTunes because they seem to have the best selection, but if I can't play it on anything that an iPod, then what's the point? Can anybody help me so I can play it on my music device? I saw the info in the knowledge base about converting music to mp3 from AAC, but you can't do that with purchased music. I even burned a CD with the music, and it won't play on my car stereo?? Help!!!

Speaker systems use with creative mp3 player.

i was interested in a creative speaker system and was wonderin if they are any systems available that enable you to play music from them via my creative zen mp3 player? could someone help me out here.
many thanx

p3dlow,
Any speaker system that can receive input from a single 3.5mm stereo minijack should work with a MP3 player. Are you looking for a 2.1, 2.0, portable or docking station? Btw, exactly which player do you have?
