Creative Zen stone with speaker not recognized by Vista 32

My creative zen stone with speaker is not recognized by computer. Downloaded starter pack and it worked, but the first time i disconnected it and connected again, the device is not in "my computer". It is listed as working properly under "safely remove hardware". Uninstalled drivers, and connected again, driver was installed and I am told the device is ready to be used, but it is still no where to be seen, and update tools etc. also does not recognize connected device.
thank you

Try going into "Control Panel->Administrati've tools" and clicking on "Computer Management". Find "disk management" in the left pane and click it. Your Stone should be in the right somewhere. I think you need to right click, then "choose dri've letter and paths" and give it a dri've letter with the "add" button. Let us know if that works.

Creative ZEN Stone Shuffle Mode?

%Creative ZEN Stone > Shuffle Mode? I recently bought a Creative ZEN Stone 2GB (2nd generation) MP3 Player. I created one folder with random music I like to listen to while making sports which I'd like to play in Shuffle mode and some other folders containing some complete albums, ordered with numbers in front of the file names. If I switch to the "sports" folder an choose Shuffle mode, the player seems to shuffle all the files on the Player. Of course I'd like it to shuffle only the files contained in the "sports" folder, listening to ambient music during sports doesn't motivate me too much you know. And if I want to play the "ambient"-folder in Shuffle mode, I don't want to listen to power metal at all.
Did I miss something or is the Player unable to shuffle one single folder? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you choose Shuffle mode, it shuffles all the files on the Player, regardless of any folders.
Is there any (probably 3rd-party) firmware out there with which I can make my Creative ZEN Stone 2GB (2nd generation) shuffle only one single folder?
Thank you in advance for you answers.

When you say second generation, do you mean zen stone with speaker or/and screen
On the zen stone plus with speaker ( and screen) you can shuffle just the contents of a folder without playing anything from another folder b y doing this:
Music > select a folder select play mode, select shuffle folder, job done.

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.... ?

My creative zen stone (with speakers) is being very strange! Please he

Hi!
I got a pink creative stone with speakers (and no screen) about a month ago.
This morning I tried to turn it on, and the green light came on, but there was no sound. When I plugged it into my computer, it wasn't recognised, and it didn't come up on my computer, therefore, I can't use the recovery tool
. No amount of pushing at the on and play button, or resetting it with a paperclip works.
I'd really, really like some help!!! Thankyou very much!!!!
Katherine

here's my suggestion, if you have not formatted your player before, format it using fat32. What happens is, it immediately plays the songs 3 to four seconds after you press the play button long enough.
with the default settings of zen stone, the player starts playing songs after ten or so seconds that might be the reason you had time to fiddle with the toggles before the songs play when in fact it takes that long because it wasn't formatted to fat32.

Creative Zen Stone Plus with speaker FirmWare editi

Hi, I recently bought a Zen Stone, I'm happy with this purchase, but there are a few things that I didn't like, little things like, not showing current song number in folder, or not showing ID3 artist tag.
And I was wondering if maybe Zen firmware is open source, and it's freely alowed for user to edit it.
Have a nice day.

There is a chap on here by the name of Daniel_K who re-writes Soundblaster drivers, not sure if he does anything for players though!!! Check out the lastest Reg post about him on this linky http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04..._driver_links/
Not sure if endorsed by Creative or Daniel_K though, so stand by for flaming!!! :P
Peace, Unity, Blah JailBreak

Creative Zen Stone Play is

I bought the Gig zen stone a few days ago to use in the gym. I seem to have an issue which might not be an issue but I haven't been able to figure out what I am doing wrong.
After I uploaded a few songs, and hit the play button it does not seem to play the songs, only after I fiddle around with the toggle buttons between switching folders and random play for a while only it seems to start playing, and it is very annoying.
I would like to what I am doing wrong, shouldn't the player just start to play the songs when I hit the play button.
Please advise as to what I should do to get the player to start playing instantly.
Thanks

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 Returns to First Track When Recharged???

7Zen Stone Plus Returns to First Track When Recharged?Y Hi Everybody... I had originally posted this question several months ago, but I didn't receive a response.

For future benefit to others, I'll answer my own question: No, the Zen Stone Plus should not lose it's place when plugged in for charging or adding files. I just purchased a second Zen Stone Plus, this time the one without the speaker and it remembers track location after charging.
Good thing I'm RMA'ing the first one!
