Creative MP3 Players Zen V Plus with vista 64 bits

Hi... I really need help... I just bougth a new computer with vista home edition 64 bits. But my mp3 does not work with vista. I cannot use the Creative Media Explorer because the program is not associated with any other program.
Does anyone knows how I can install my mp3 correctly... without problems...
I send a message to the technical services but anything to do... I do not understand what they say...
If you can answer me in french... il will be more easy for me...
Thanks to everyone and happy new year 200.

This sounds similar to another thread I read here. I think the answer is to uninstall WMP (rollback to WMP0) and then reinstall WMP. I think there may have been something else you need to do as well.
I'll see if I can find the thread for you.

Post for happy owners of Creative mp3 players

Welcome in the island of the happy owners of Creative mp3 players! I open this post because I see in the forum that there are many topics about unsatisfied customers. I think that many people that is satisfied of these mp3 players don't go in forums, because forum are used above all to find solution at problems!Anyway I'm happy owner of a Creative Zen 6 GB And all works fine! All is perfect! And this player is really a little wonder!The battery life (I saw that there is a post about it here) is about 8 hours using player in normal use, with songs at more than 92 kbps.
I'm really satisfied! It is the best player that I got!My list of players began with the Zen Xtra 40 GB, after the Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB and then the Zen Vision:M 60 GB. I have the little and nice Zen Stone Plus too! All work perfect!

I posted about my zen experience allready, but my list of experiences just got a little longer so I'll recapI am a music freak. with a capitol K , my very first mp3 player wasnt even creative it was he weird kind with the disc that fits in the back. only held ten songs without the disk disk could hold twenty. then I got a real job and got my first creative mp3 player. it was nomad, and nomad was good. jump dri've lookin thing with a red power supply (case the battery goes into) it weas either 256 or 52, cant remember for sure. but it sounded pretty and held my songs, and was small enough I could take it to work without arousing suspicion.nephew found it (two years old, my own fault) and separated the dri've from the power supply still have power supply, cant find dri've. So I got a muvo v00 gig it lasted virtually forever, even went through a washer and dryer trip, and still played till about a month after it got laundered. when it mysteriously powered down. I upgraded to a v+ which I love. I have had it since june and its still goin strong, even went with me on a 3 day camp out, still works great.. only problem I had was the power didnt last till the end of the third day. but all three of these sounded awesome. the v+ still does, plus Ive put a couple episodes of "psych" on it for video entertainment. I recently took it to work with me and was stocking shelves in the cooler for a few hours (about 28-32 degrees) and I learned two things. . cold temperatures do adversely effect battery life, but not horribly, and 2. we have an anti headphone policy of which I was not previously aware. nevertheless it performs great even on the job. on a side note I put the brass or copper (not sure which) connector plate back on on my muvo v00. my cousin uses it now instead of her ipod I'm so happy.
cudos creative for making players that can go camping, and even withstand a full wash and dry cycle. (machine washing and tumble drying your mp3 player is not reccomended.)

Do ALL Creative MP3 players have Bookmarking capabiliti

I currently have a 28 MB MuVo but am looking to upgrade to to a newer model. Before I buy a new model I need to know the answer to the following question.
Question: Do ALL of the Creative MP3 players have the bookmark feature including the Zen models?
If all of them do not have this feature, which Creative models do or do not have bookmarking capabilities?
Thanks for the info!

What is Bookmarking?
Imaging you are listening to a 5 hr audiobook file and you decide to stop and turn off your device at 2:34:22 into the file. Later you desire to listen to the file where you left off, only you discover that you are the beginning of the file and must fast forward to the point where you left off.
Bookmarking allows the MP3 device to continue where you left off listening when either switching tracks or turning off the device.
WARNING:
I have discovered two types of bookmarking that I call
.) firmware bookmarking - MP3 players that will bookmark ALL file types
2.) software bookmarking - MP3 players that will bookmark SPECIFIC file types ONLY. Some audio providers like Audible.com appear to get around the MP3 firmware limitations by downloading drivers and software to interface with their specific audiofiles.
For example:
Creative 28 MuVo has firmware bookmarking capabilities and works on ALL my audiofilesSanDisk
Sanza e40 software bookmarks audiobook files from Audible.com.
HP IPAQ software bookmarks audibooks from Audible.com.

Latest MediaSource Plugins for various Creative MP3 Players are now available for downl

Just went to the product support site. Guess what? The latest MediaSource plugins for the various Creative MP3 Players are now available for download. I am sure the latest plugins should have fixed several problems.
Don't forget to download the latest Creative MediaSource v3.30.2 too. Install the latest Creative MediaSource first before you install the MediaSource Plugins of your respecti've MP3 Players.
Note: According to the download site, the latest MediaSource plugins require you to have at least v3.20.57 of Creative MediaSource.

Thanks micromouse
... but there's no new plugin for the original Jukebox
I've always had trouble connecting to MediaSource with my JB and was hoping for a new plugin to sort all my problems.

Creative MP3 Players and Car Au

Hello,
I'm a newbie and I don't know a lot about MP3 players so I hope you can help me out. I have a brand new Kenwood car audio with an USB cable to plug your MP3 player in. My friend's Samsung MP3 player doesn't work, after some research I find out that the MP3 player has to be an MTP one to work with the car audio. Now my question is: are all Creative MP3 players MTP maschines and do I have to make a software update or what ever to "make them be" a MTP player?
Thanks a lot for any support!

Are you sure about this? Which Kenwood is it exactly? The info I've seen on the Kenwoods say that the USB device must be MSC (not MTP).
Perhaps your friend's Samsung is MTP, and that's why it didn't work.

Creative Mp3 Players MTP Problem Solution

Hi,because of the firmware and windows problems,if you have a mp3 player with a firmware that doesn't support MTP problem,sometimes even if you reformat your computer,you can get "player not connected" error. To solve this you must install MTP supporting firmware on your mp3 player,but if you don't want to upgrade your firmware (because of being afraid of stucking in the recovery mode,some other reasons)there is some other solutions to solve this problem.
Editing registry keys,and some other patches did nothing to solve my problem.So I deleted all Creative Drivers and programs from Add/Remove Programs,and I deleted Windows Media Player 0 and installed Windows Media Player 9,than I installed everything from my mp3 player's cd (media source,nomad explorer,device drivers,etc.) and I downloaded and installed new device driver (version 2...) from creative web site. I restarted my computer,and my problem is completely solved. Try it...

Comparison of Creative MP3 Players - How to Choo

Is there a comparison anywhere at the Creative site, or elsewhere online, where someone can compare the features of all the Creative mp3 players - at least by product line - to each other so as to make an informed decision concerning which one to buy. I'm not exactly a simpleton, but I have to admit that the sheer quantity of them is a bit daunting... I realize, for instance, that the Zen has a higher capacity than the Zen Micro, but how does one start comparing the Zen Micro to the Zen Touch, or to the MuVo models, etc...
Thanks,
JP

I did find this:

It doesn't include every model but it's an example of what I'd like to see.

Thump / Pop noise when switching on / off Zen Stone Plus with Spea

Hello,
I just bought a 2Gb Zen Stone Plus with Speaker and I was disappointed by a very loud thump occurring when turning on/off the player. Moreover, starting with the player switched off, it is sufficient to press the on button (not necessarily until switching on completes) and the thump is there... each time I press the button! It is like an electrostatic discharge.
The thump is quite dangerous for my ears (for instance using high quality in-ear monitors) and for my 2. speakers system.
Is that normal? Should I return it's

Are you sure this isn't normal?
I hear a sort of electronic cracking sound in my right ear, quite loud and lower volume pop in my left ear after that when turning on the player. I also thought it was just cheap electronics.
I don't want to go trough the trouble of contacting the vendor for an exchange if a new one has the same thing.

Belt clip for zen stone plus with spea

I've had a Zen Stone Plus with Speaker for a little less than a year now. The speaker makes it wonderful for riding bike trails without using earphones to stay alert to the surroundings. It's worked quite well when used with a (technically unsupported) non-Windows PC. A careless person in a store collided with me yesterday, flinging it to the ground, with no damage to the electronics. It is disappointing to find, however, that there seems to be no replacement clips available for the one she damaged. Does anyone know if the clips sold with the multi skin packs for earlier models, sold elsewhere, might be the same spring clip

Hi,
Yeah..appreciate it very much.
I'll pass this to someone here for their reconsideration.
Cheers.

Creative MP3 Players (Especially ZEN Touch 2) durability: satisfied?

Hello,
I'm willing to buy a ZEN Touch 2, it look so amazing!
However, what I would like to know more: durability!
Is the ZEN Touch 2 (Or any other MP3 Player from Creative) durable enough?
I'll still have the year warrantee, but I'll need to ship it in the US, it'll need to be shipped at another adress in the US, and then shipped back to me (I'm in Canada).
That'll be a though job, you know.
My first MP3 , an Archos .5 Vision, died on me when it ran out of batteries for the first time; strangely, I reloaded it, and it had trouble booting.
My second and actual MP3, Archos 2 Vision, has brokens contacts in the headphone jack... -___-
Well, it still work, but it's really annoying.
If you are a ZEN Touch 2 owner, please give me your feedback!
Thanks you very much!

Hi Gamex I have a Zen Touch 2 with GPS in the UK. In the first 3 weeks, it froze 3 or 4 times, and then finally died when downloading the Creative update to Android 2.2. You need to be aware that Creative Tech Support seem not to have yet caught up with the fact that they have a new type of MP3 player, and all the Knowledgebase articles they will refer you to are not relevant, as they deal with the older hard dri've type of player. It took me all but a fortnight of shouting to get them to authorise its return for repair/replacement, which is where it is currently. In addition, if you're going for the GPS model, advertised as 8GB, be aware it's capacity for music etc is a mere 4.gb, and any apps you download will eat into that. The way round this is to buy a big micro SDHC card (I got a 32gb one) which integrates seamlessly into the player. You can opt to put the apps on there if you so wish. That's the bad bit; the good bit is that it looks and feels great, and the touchscreen, while not as responsi've as some, is more than acceptable, to me at least. The sound quality is not as good as some other Creative players, mainly due to the fairly low spec earbuds supplied. Get some good ones, and the sound is fine, although strangely there is no equalizer facility. The FM radio, with RDS, gives quite astonishing reception on the move. You can import playlists from Media Player, but there is no option for crossfading, so you get a fairly significant gap between tracks. There are a fair selection of apps available, including an antivirus one (I see you were asking elsewhere about that) but you cannot access Android market; apps are downloaded from the Ziio website. Battery life is obviously dependant on what you are doing; wifi and GPS use will inevitably eat power before your very eyes. Using it for music was giving me around hours (less than claimed). Video playback (which is also very good) brings that down to around 4 hours. Overall I would say I was a little dissapointed with it, but that said having been without it now for nearly 3 weeks I realise how much I want it back, so it can't be all bad! Hope this helps? Regards Mike F

New Mp3 Zen V Plus with Vi

My zen V PLUS has no firmware because it was curropted and wouldnt load... and it wont connect to my comptuter what do i do?

I have the same problem that Vista won't recognize my Zen Plus. I have tried every thing I could think of and nothing works. The recovery tool didn't work.
Vista won't even put up that disconnect icon in lower right. and Creative Media Organizer won't see the Zen Plus either.
I think Microsoft and Creative should get their products to working together...........but they are making money and we are wasting our time trying to get things we have paid for to work.
Does anyone at Creative know how this Zen Plus will ever work with Vista?
Should I listen to the Creative e-mail support and return my Zen Plus?

Problem with my brand new mp3 player Zen Stone Plus 2GB ( with built in speaker )

Hi .
I have purchased the following Zen Stone Plus 2GB with built in speaker on 24.06.2008.
From day one, it had a charging problem . Initial charging it'snever go beyond 87%.
After using it for 2 days, at the time of recharging , I found my player won`t get dectected in my PC .
I took the set to the vendor for a checkup . He tried to solve it by resetting , formating etc. But he could only able to to format it's sacrificing its 50% of its allocated space.
My vendor then changed the set with a brand new one, againts that faulty one .
Now the new one worked well for 3 - 4 days , but it is now totally dead .
But the set did not give any indication before it become completely dead.
A few dust particles inside the LCD screen was also observed. I can`t understand how come dust particles can enter inside
a player which is sealed box pack .
Next issue is with the battery which CREATIVE promised of giving a backup of approx 20 hrs of continious playback , which with minimal scuffling and with minimal settings lasted for 0 hrs approx ( 50% less than promised ).
Another thing that i must state is the problem of FM Reception . It is simply terrible . In the same area where my mobile's FM reception is fine , Zen Stone's FM failed to give any reception .
I came to know about Zen Stone Plus from of my friend , who is using Zen Stone Plus GB without any problem for long time.
Pls tell me what to do now, since my player is compleately out of order now , and pls suggest me something regarding the issue of battery backup , FM reception ... etc.
Now i am in a total mess . I just dont know what to do with the set that is few days old .
Pls help urgently .
Waiting for any valued suggestion .
Bye ...
