  • 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.... ?

  • Zen Stone Plus Speaker. Browse music without starting the first song in the next fold

    Hi everyone,
    I'm not sure what I want is possible.
    I've had this player for about a?week now and I believe I could browse to the folders while listening to a song. For some reason when I do that now the player?start playing the first song of every folder when I browse through it.
    I'm starting to doubt if I remember it right that it was possible to browse through while listening to a song before?
    I tried playing with the setting and even did the recovery tool thing to put the player back at the setting it came with. But it didn't work.
    Anyone know if this is posible, and how?
    Thanks.

    Tag support: the ability to select music by album/artist/track instead of folders
    Display always on option - i know its to help save battery life but sometimes it would be helpful if the display stayed on
    Display artist and song name, inst4ead of just the song name/file name
    Alarm clock function: my Zen stone plus has a speaker, and a clock function. My Zen Xtra has a clock and an alarm clock function but no speaker other than headphones (if any are plugged in) for the alarm to sond through, the same is true with my visio:M? the Zen Stone plusw/speaker has a clock but no alarm, and if anything it would make a fantastic little alarm clock with a 'sound' to music or wsound to beep? function.

  • 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

  • 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 Micro won update firmware

    I have Creative ZEN Micro and i cant get it to update i do everything right but it doesnt have enought battery power. and i cant get it to charge. so wat do i do

    Try starting the player into Recovery Mode, see if that works:
    <EM>Ensure that the Zen Micro is turned off.</EM>
    <EM>Remove the battery.</EM>
    <EM>Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and re-insert the battery to the Zen Micro. Hold the Power button until the rescue mode appears. </EM>
    <EM>The following options will be displayed:</EM>
    <EM>) Clean Up (Performs a disk scan on the players harddisk)</EM>
    <EM>2) Format All (Formats the players harddisk - Note: all contents will be lost)</EM>
    <EM>3) Reload OS (Reloads the Operating System on the Jukebox. Note: Reloading your OS, will not effect the contents of the files stored on your Zen Micro) Caution: Do not select this option until a firmware update has been downloaded onto the PC</EM>
    <EM>4) Reboot (Reboots the device).</EM>
    If you can get into Recovery Mode, try the Clean Up first.

  • 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
