Please try formatting your player using the Creative Media Explorer software.
. Connect your player to your computer's USB port using the supplied USB cable.
2. Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
3. Click the ZEN Media Explorer icon.
4. Click the Settings and Information button and click the Tools tab.
5. Click the Format button.
If it's still not working, you probably need to contact Customer Support for further assistance.

My second enquiry is about the capacity of the player. When my player was empty, I went into "Information" and it said Total Space: 28GB and Free Space: 2GB. Why is free space only 2GB? Shouldn't it be 28 as well?
Thanks in advance!
The battery will only last about 3yrs regardless of use.You will need to change it. Did you scroll down to see the album,picture,track counts? Did you partition part of the dri've for removable storage.

Problems running creative zen nano plus and nomad muvo on same compu

We have 2 nomad muvo mp3 players and now a zen nano plus .Have had constant problems with the media organiser .
Installed zen nano plus and selected enable smart fit to get maximum amount of songs and it worked fine but as soon as we tried to install software for the 2 nomad players it would not work smart fit for any of them.
Uninstalled everything and got the zen software in and it was running ok but then seemed to have problems and although smart fit was enabled it just copied files as the original mp3.
It then fatally crashed yesterday and I am awaiting a replacement as I had only had it for 2 days.
Is it possible to run all 3 and to be able to use smart fit on all 3 players or am I better off having just one working and using the file converter for the other 2.


Make sure that you have installed the MediaSource plugin for MuVo in order to get SmartFit You have to access SmartFit via the MuVo node of the Sources window in MediaSource. You won't see SmartFit if you access your MuVo via the My Computer node of the Sources window in MediaSource..
Here is what you should do to get the latest MediaSource software:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- (Depending on your firmware)
Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MuVo plugin .0.05 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.

Creative Zen Vision M:30Gb freeze problem skipping between tracks

Hi guys,
I bought my Zen Vision M:30GB 2 years ago. It was a regenerated model by Creative.
I'm fully satisfied of this product, i think the best of his category, but It has this problem since two years...Sometimes when i skip between mp3s (especially in random mode) it freezes and remains on the screen of current mp3, blocked...even I try to touch all buttons it doesn't unblock and i have to reset with a clip in the reset hole.
I've noticed that this problem comes especially when i use random mode of entire library (about 4000 songs) or however with a long playlist...it doesn't happen when i listen a single album (about 20 mp3s in playlist)
Sincerely i'm a little bored ...
I tried to do some clean and format up by the system menu, but the problem persists...
I've also thinked the problem could be because there are in library mp3 with variant bitrate...or a physical problem (I hope not)
What do you think of?
Thanks for help!

Hey, ZVM_00, I think these are what you're looking for. I'm not sure which one you want to buy but here they are:

As far as your problem with connecting, I can't really help you there. It COULD be your computer but I remember someone telling me to use a different USB port than you're already using. If it's plugged into the front of your computer, try using a back port. That worked for me (for a while anyway). Good luck to you two.
And try what I said, it may work!

Creative Zen X-fi Wireless Lan problem

I own a 6gb Zen X-Fi. I have problems accessing wi-fi.
I have registered a chat account and everything but everytime I try to use Wi-Fi, I am always met with a message "Log-in information incorrect". Can anyone help? In the "configure my account" menu, I use the email i registered with, as well as the password I use to log in to my chat account. What am I doing wrong?

Hello Kennybhoy,
Welcome to Creative forums!
After you input your User ID (which you have used to register for the ZEN X-Fi chat account) and password, the player will attempt to connect to an available network. If your network is secured, it will require a log-in and password to access the network. I was just thinking maybe you entered the chat ID and password instead of the router's log-in and password to connect to your network? This article may help you.

Creative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AAC

GCreative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AACZ All right, this is driving me nuts. I have a Zen 32GB and a Vista 32-bit machine. I have been encountering a lot of problems playing AAC files on my Zen--many of the tracks stop short, and the error message "There is a problem playing this audio" appears.
These are AAC files that I ripped off my own CDs using iTunes, so there are no DRM issues. ? I'm not sure if the problem lies in the actual ripping process (although the problem tracks play on my iPod without problem), the importing into my Zen using Zen Media Explorer, or my Zen trying to play the tracks. I've tried turning off my antivirus program, as well as checking the box in iTunes that double-checks for audio errors after ripping. I thought at first that it could be related to scratched CDs, but it also happens with pristine CDs.
I have latest firmware (.2.03) installed, and also the latest version of Zen Media Explorer.
I've searched this forum as well as Google for this exact error message, and don't get any related hits. Can anyone out there help me? Please?

Thanks for that response--I was beginning to feel a little neglected. It's disappointing, though--one of the reasons I bought the Zen was because it advertised AAC compatibility, so that I could have just one library of AAC files for my iPod and Zen, instead of entirely duplicate libraries of AAC and WMA files. Most of the AAC files I've imported into the Zen play fine--I just have to check all of the tracks to see which ones have that audio error. Usually, if I re-import the track, it comes out fine (eventually).

Creative Zen Touch no longer docking; problem has appeared out of the bl

For the last couple of years, I've used my Creative Zen Touch without any issues. I managed to upgrade to the MTP firmware with no troubles whatsoever. When I tried to plug it in a few days ago and add a number of songs, the computer no longer recognised the player. The USB ports seem fine, and when I plug it in the player boots. It doesn't come up with the "docked" screen on the player, however, and in Windows a "trying to add new hardware wizard" window pops up that never used to pop up before. Whatever I try to do, it never works. I'm using Windows XP SP2 and like I said, I never used to have any issues before until this popped out completely unexpected. It just won't realise that the Zen Touch is a MTP player for some reason!

The people on the forum who would respond are customers, like you, being rude to them probably won't encourage them to help.
These two pages contain some useful tips, have you checked these yet?

Creative Zen V Plus and libmtp

First off, for some reason whenever I plug my creative zen in, my laptop assumes this is some sort of photo device. In additino to that, Amarok won't recognize it.
When I did mtp-detect:
Listing raw device(s)
Found 1 device(s):
Creative: ZEN V Plus (041e:4152) @ bus 0, dev 15
Attempting to connect device(s)
usb_claim_interface(): Device or resource busy
LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to initialize device
Unable to open raw device 0
OK.
Should I be concerned about the LIBMTP PANICE?

hokasch wrote:However, I have still not found a linux app that transfers album art. Does Banshee copy the album covers? Or does anyone know about another tool? I read amarok1 schould be capable of this, but I can not get it to recognize the zen.
Amarok1 can definitely do this and I think it's probably got the best interface for copying tracks to the player - I only keep amarok1 installed purely for transferring tracks to my player!
danielsoft wrote:wait, does that mean that this player cannot be connected as a generic USB storage device?
My Vision:M can partition part of the harddrive that will mount as a storage device, but that's only for files. Audio and Video is transferred only through MTP which is a pain in the wotsits. I'm not sure about all creative players, but I think the majority are MTP.

Creative Zen overheating error, and now just a white screen?

<C CHi, My Creative Zen mp3 player, 8Gb, 2 years old recently decided not to work properly, it's the first time in 2 years of loyal service it finally failed on me It happened like this: I turned it on, and first it began to execute commands without me pressing any buttons, like skipping to next song, or pausing, in a wild frenzy of quick actions, and strange colours. Then a error message, "overheating, shutting down" appeared, and then the player shut down, but the player did not feel hot, there were no sounds coming from the player, and i have never left it in a hot place, ever I left it alone overnight, the next morning, i turned it on again, the error message came up again one more time, and then i turned it off again, the third time i turned it on, no more error message, now simply it turn on to a white screen, which fades into a lighter white, or like a grey, and after 20 seconds, goes to black (off again, by itself). I tried to connect via usb to my laptop, and at first it appeared in my computer, but i wasn't able to keep the connection, and now it doesn't connect at all What do i DO?

Have you tried resetting the player with the little button on the side?

Creative Zen 40Gb - touchpad AND buttons not work

Orite all, my names tom, n i got my creative zen last october...after about a month or 2, the touch pad would only go down, then it stopped working completely. gradually, none of the buttons worked except the buttons on the right (not including the play button). To add insult to injury, the validation of purchase i had was thrown in the bin as well as the guarantee.Brilliant, and the jack is broken too. Is there anything at all i can do?! or any advice for attempting to fix the product? help would be brilliant

Did you buy the player on credit or debit card? Creative will typically accept this as proof of purchase.
All you can do is get the player repaired by Creative, whether under warranty or not.

Creative Zen Micro Photo 8GB Driver Problem XP USB

Xp couldnt find driver to install for Creative Zen micro photo 8gb. I have P4 Xp sp2 USB .. It works fine with other.
But when i connect zen Micro Photo 8GB it says "Unknow device creative zen micro photo" the player doesnt come with any driver.

Is it something to do with firmware?

Hi ted, can you tell me What is MTP device n wht its connection with WM0?please.. It will be a great help! ?
MTP is a protocol. For our purposes it means that the driver should be included with WMP0. (...and that is the connection, you get the driver by installing WMP0.)

Creative sound blaster Z Khz and Format problems giving no more sound

Hi there.
First off let me say that i know little to none about audio, so i'm not a audiofile.
Second i have some qeustions/problems with mij Creative z soundblaster and hoped someone else has tackeld these problems and is willing to teach how to setup this sound blaster.
I'm using a Creative soudblaster z that is hooked up thourgh a toshlink cable to mij Logitech speaker set (z550) and till today al was working just fine!
But i recently read something about the (i hope i say this right) Sample rates or KHZ that can improve mij Sound quality, so i read thath the blaser z can handle up to 128 Khz or something... so i thought let's give that a try!
So in windows when right click on the speaker icon i got to playback devices and there i find 2 icons a SPDIF- Out and the Speakers icon of the creative z sound blaster.
So i went to Speakers and changed the Default format( default is 24bit, 48000) to 24 Bit, 96000 (Hz studio quality).
After this change i rebooted the computer and after the reboot al sounds where working!
So after that i decided to got The Spdif-out and go to the Supported formats page, here i unchecked the 48.0 Khz box and checked the 96.0 Khz box.
Also under Advance i changed the default format to 2 channel, 24 Bit, 96000 HZ.
Now when i pres the test button EVERYTHING WORKS, when i run the windows speaker setup thiny al 5.1 speakers react the way they supposed to react.
But when playing music or video there is no sound!
Everytime i reboot windows and start up Aimp to listen to some music, the music wil play but there is no sound! When aimp is playing and i w8 for like 5 to 10 minuts the Decoder light on mij speaker console will light up and then i will hear sound!
Normaly when i reboot windows the decoder light starts glowing imediatly now i either must w8 (this might tak hours somethime) or i go the sounds configuration and after pressing let's say 20x time the test souns button the sound start working for no reason!
So is there anyon who has these problems (oh yeah deinstalled and reinstalled driver 4 time by now so it aint the driver or mij speaker because mij ps3 aswel as mij ps4 work properly and do give me sound) or better yet know how to resolve this isseu!
Or did i not configurate the sound settings well ? please inform how i need to set them.
And oh yeah Like i said i'm no audiofile, but as far as i understand the BOX the creative z comes in, it tells me i can go up to 128 KHZ so... the 98khz Should not be the problem, the sound card should be able to do this ? right !?
So for everyone who read tis post Thank you for tanking the time to read it!
For those who replyed even more thanks
ooh yeah before i forget, if the post is a bit unclear for you pls don't hessitate to contact me or sent me mail for a more or better explenation of the problem, if you need aditional info PLS say so and i will post it

Set your SPDIF to default settings. The Logitech speakers will be doing all of the work DECODING what you are outputting to it with your sound card. The SPDIF is strictly digital. The setting in your "speaker" option sets up the Analog to digital conversion bit depth and sample rates. With dolby digital and DTS connect though those will output at 16 bit, 48 khz. If you were connecting to your logitech speakers with the three analog cables (green-front left and right, Black-rear left and right, and yellow-center and surround) then your setting choices in the 'speakers" applet of control panel, sounds would have an effect on downsampling, upsampling, and output quality.
Lastly, make sure to right click on the Speakers icon in the sound control panel applet and choose "set as default."

Creative zen not detected and freeze at creative l

I got firmware problem and tried to reload firmware.when i was doing it, my zen vision got freeze at creative logo and now i can't excess anything. i can't see that recovery option,firmware update option, format option too...and my mp3 player is not recognized by my laptop i m using windows xp..please help me to solve this problem....i tried to remove the battery and hold power key and again inserted it but even this one is not working.

When did you get it's Has it been dropped, shaken hard or something like that? They are not made to be used while jogging or workingout because it is a HARDRIVE. The dri've can be replaced the player is easy to oopen with the right tools. If it is still under warranty opening will void the warranty. The person in the video repairs them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Drkr...eature=related

The screen on my 8gb Creative Zen is distorted and unreada

I have used the reset button, reformated the player and reloaded the firmware (.2.0). Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Looks like you have a defecti've Zen. Contact Creative.
This is my canned statement: There could be a million things that could go wrong with your Zen player so you will not be the FIRST or LAST to have a problem. Keep in mind, there are many, many others that have a Zen with no problems whatsoever. Things happen, but Creative is there to help. Contact them!
