ok, I will tkae that under consideration. Now I have another battery issue, after fully charging the MP3 player I noticed that the battery life drain rather quickly while it is off. I lost 9% of it's charge from taking it off the charger at midnight and then plugging it into the usb port of my computer the next morning at 10:00am. The clock is turned off so it should not be doing anything for those 0 hours.

Creative Stone Plus 2GB Music will not show

Hi,
I have filled the stone plus with music, about 29 albums in total, to use up the whole 2gb. When I disconnect and use the player then only about 9 of those albums show up under browse music. I reformatted, used the recovery tool and tried to update firmware, but the update program keeps saying the player isn't connected.
It seems to be recognising more of the music now than before I formatted; before it would only show around 0 albums, I've no idea why it won't show them all (they are all mp3s, 92kbps) as when I connect to the computer all the music is on the dri've. So annoying that I have to put on as many albums as I can and then hope that some of them will actually play.
It doesn't matter whether I use Creative Media Lite or just drag and drop..
If anyone can help, please do!?

can anyone [email protected]

Battery Replacement Zen Stone Plus

Li-Poly batteries last approximately 3 years after manufacturing (charged or not). So if your Zen Stone ceases to function and it has not been abused, it'ss likely a dead ? no longer can be charged - battery.
I purchased a battery (actually 3 to meet their $ minimum) from allbattery.com? Polymer Li-Ion Battery 3.7V 240mAh. Order it with NO PCB option. $3.99 each plus shipping. After they arri'ved, I note the brand name is ?Tenergy. Original battery specs from Creative are 280mAh, a nominal difference. Specifications I didn?t have were charging requirements, but I?m happy to report they recharge seemingly identical from the Creative OEM batteries.
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0[/img]<tr><td>This battery replacement takes some skill and is, obviously at your own risk. Suggest examining ribbon cable prior to ordering batteries. My unit is a Zen Stone Plus with Speaker.
</td></tr></table>?
BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
Run Exacto knife or small utility knife around sides and end NOT including end opposite display (or you will cut through a ribbon cable) penetrating no more than 0.075 (/6th inch) to split case of Zen Stone. It may be necessary to insert small jeweler?s screwdriver directly at corners to gently pry, releasing positioning studs. If you?re lucky, you won?t break off studs, but if you do, don?t worry they are mostly for alignment purposes.
Lift off control pad (volume up down, fast forward, reverse, center select button) Remove two Phillips screws holding pc board to bottom case and lift edge of pc board with small screwdriver under USB port.
Hinge pc board up with headphone jack on top and lift up battery with screwdriver.
Examine ribbon cable, which is folded around control board and sandwiched between control board and pc mother board. If cable is torn (or cut) you?ll probably have to throw Zen Stone in trash as this cable may be impossible to repair.
Remove white tape from top of battery and unsolder + and ? connectors
Tint ribbon cables with solder (I used a little solder paste to get solder to stick), the solder in wires, paying attention to + and ? terminals. Be very careful not to touch the ribbon cables together or solder on a metal surface.
Cut a piece of electrician tape and wrap around ribbon cables and soldering joints.
You can test your Zen Stone prior to assembly.
Reassemble in reverse order using a pin, tooth pick or small paper clip and clear silicone caulk around edges. Wrap elastics around unit holding upper and lower case together while caulk dries.

Creative Zen Stone Plus Returns First Track On Player After Recharge

? Hi Everybody... I didn't see this topic posted on another thread, but I wasn't going to read thousands of posts to get this answer either. My problem is I own two players, one is a Creative Zen Stone and the other is the Zen Stone Plus. My Zen Stone does not return to the first track on the player when I recharge it (it remains on the same track), but the Zen Stone Plus does. This normally wouldn't be a big deal, but my mother-in-law listens to audiobooks. Sometimes those books don't have seperate tracks which means there is a single track that runs for like 6 - 8 hours. Is there a way to allow the player to pick up where it left off? It is a real pain to have to fast forward through most of an audiobook, especially when my player (the less expensi've player) continues where it left off. BTW.... Letting her have my player is not an option since hers has a display screen and mine doesn't.

So, reading the forum, it seems we have seroiusly problems with charging.... I'll try all I've read: disabling "energy conservation mode" on USB root, using an USB powered hub as Battery Charger, updating the Firmware, formatting / resetting the player and then using cml and the led to charge it to the full. I hope it solves, at least for me.... ?

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 ...

Zen Stone Plus Charg

Good day! I have a problem with my Creative Zen Stone Plus unit. The battery does not get a full charge and according to my Creative Media Lite, it's only 20% or so full. However, when I turn the player display on, it indicates that the charging is already complete (blinking blue LED and a plug sign instead of the lightning sign). In turning the product on, it reads that the player only has two bars? left and then turns to one bar after just 5 minutes of playback. This is crazy since I charge it as sson as the battery indicator reaches one bar. So obviously, it isn't charging. I've already installed the new firmware, resetting and formatting the player, and everything else that I could think of I've already tried them. Went through the messages in this site and all I can see are problems with their own players and no worthwhile solution from the Creative Tech team. I went on as much as to locally look for the service provider of Creative here in the Philippines but they all seem to know less than myself regarding the product.
A side question and comment is if it would be better for my battery to run until there's no more bars in the indicator left (not necessarily drain it) or charge as soon as it hits one bar. The crazy thing is, I'm presumming with the hassle that it is producing, most probably the battery is not in its optimum condition anymore due to the trials that I have been doing to resolve this problem. The crazy thing is that the service provider I've been mentioning also told me that I can charge the player even when it is on, now reading the messages and from my stock knowledge I realized that what she did was irresponsible and utterly detrimental for my battery. This is such a sad condition considering that Creative is just building its name and they seem to be unable to provide a good customer support base for their clients.

Not sure if this hel
ps.
.. I had a similar issue with my new Zen Stone.... Following it's first charge (+3 hours), I used?the player?until the battery went 'flat' and it turned itself off... I tried to charge the player up several times?without success - Creative Media Lite continually reported the battery as having 7% charge - but this never improved... Prior to me taking it back to the store I bought it from, I did a 'reset' (paperclip hole on the top side)... Low and behold - the player started to charge up again....

Zen Stone Plus won't turn

Hi,I recieved a new zen stone plus for christmas and it told me to charge it for at least 3 hours.Well...it's been 2 days and I can't get it to respond or turn on. It responds when i plug it into the usb and it says it's charging, but the light never blinks. It just keeps charging.When i hit menu, it does nothing at all.Any ideas?

One might want to read this thread..... right here..... http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&thread.id=2477
You know, the one that is stickied.....
More specifically, this part.......
"Battery - Lithium-Ion Polymer
#. Battery won't charge "out of the box" new player.
A. First, read above "Getting Started"
B. Next, try a different USB mini cable.
C. Next, there is a battery manufactuer's failure rate < %, in which the Lithium-Ion Polymer battery refuses to charge.
Creative, ships the Zen MP3 players with no charge so there is very small probability that? you could have one.
I call it the "Deep Six Discharge Battery" Call / Contact Creative.
#2. Battery won't charge properly after using the player for some time.
A. When you plug in your player into the USB port via mini USB patch cable, the connection resets the player to the "docked screen" with the battery level gas guage , in the right hand corner.
Sometimes this action does not reset the player properly but there is no indication to you that the player is charging.
Just disconnect/connect the USB cable again.
B. Sometimes, the Zen player gets confused and you have to do a Recovery Mode "paper clip reset" which forces the player into a "special menu screen" to clean-up the player and to reset the player which allows showing the "docked screen" while charging the unit. See Zen User's Guide for explicit instruction und FAQ.
C. Since the Zens came out late in 2007, the maximum of 300-500 charge/discharge should not apply YET? but users beware, as with any other Lithium-Ion Polymer battery it will not charge fully "like new"? because of a " fixed shelf life" (2-3 yrs)?OR too many charge/discharge cycles. A battery replacement is in order."
There is a reason why that thread is a sticky guys. You're supposed to read it.

Used Zen Stone Plus purchased on eBay

%?I have just bought a used Zen Stone Plus MP3 player from a seller on eBay. It came without any software (i.e. a CD) and I have had a problem accessing the Starter Pack from http://support.creative.com? (It downloads the ZENStonePlus_PCApp_CLE_E6__52_0.exe file but gives an error when I run this.)
I expected the display to light up on a long press of the central button (with the USB lead and headphones disconnected) but it shows no response. Windows XP Home recognises it when I connect via the USB (direct to a port), the display lights up briefly and the LED shows blue.But leaving it connected for several hours does not seem to have charged the battery. (The LED continues to show blue until the USB lead is disconnected.)
Any advice for a confused first-time user would be welcome!
