Duplicated playlist appearing in Zen Mi

I couldn't locate any thread related to this problem. If there was any , please show me.
Sometimes, when I transfer songs to my zen micro, one of the playlist appears repeatedly in the device playlists, eventhough it's listed one in Windows Media Player.
This behaviour has taken place several times during the year I had own the device, with different playlists. I suspect it starts when I first created them and sync with the device. It "chooses" one playlist to appear repeated once in the device after the second sync. Whenever I sync again, the playlist appears one more time. I can't count how many times I have the playlist, because it surpases the lines of ZM display! (5 maybe)
Does anyone knows how to solve this? I now I can format ZM's hard disk, but: does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it from happening again?Message Edited by raft on 03-22-200605:55 PM

OK. Nobody with the same problem, it appears. I've deleted the repeated playlist and will see what happens. If it stays OK or after a while they start to replicate.

    Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
    You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play.  Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

  • When I upgraded to IOS5, my playlists no longer appear on the iPOD.  When I do a Sync, the playlists appear, but will not sync to the iPOD.  Any suggestions on how to resolve??

    I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately. 
    I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
    Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud. 
    You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
    I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
    If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
    Hope this helps.

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I create an on-player playlist on a Zen X-fi?

    How do I create an on-player playlist on a Zen X-fi? I've been trying to figure it out for some time now, but I can't. It's quite annoying.

    According to the iPod's User Guide, the iPod does not support them as they are not listed anywhere.

  • When downloading updates from iTunes to my iPhone my playlists appear in reverse order with least played at the top. I just want the playlist to appear in the same order as my iTunes library. This seems to have changed after downloading iCloud

    When dowloading updates from my iTunes library onto my iPhone
    my playlists appear in reverse order with the least played at the top of the list
    and most played at the end on the playlist.
    Therefore I cant play my favourites in the order that I like to hear them.
    This all changed when I recently downloaded the iCloud application.

    Hi Jim,
    Is this temporary cache accessing my data when I play songs from it? As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm still able to listen to these songs even when my phone is in airplane mode and the download icon is still present next to said songs. This implies that the songs are already downloaded onto my phone even if I didn't opt to download them directly from the cloud -- they're on my phone because my phone was shuffling my library on a wifi network.

  • Problem making playlists with new Zen Style 300

    /Problem making playlists with new Zen Style 300hI follow this procedure from the support page:
    http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=804
    I also have tried many other options and procedures, but each time the playlist that ends up on the player has only a few of the songs that I put on the play list. all the songs do exist on the player, but seems to randomly select only a small subset of the songs - example: 6 original, 2 get on the list, 30 on teh original, 6 get on the player's play list.
    The odd part is if I go back to the player at some later time and connect via creative central, the correct playlist displays on the PC. However, is still wrong (truncated) on the player. So it seems to remember the correct play list, but just does not display correctly on the player.
    PC OS - win7
    creative centrale version .8.03
    zen style 300 sw version: .0.07
    Anyone get this to work on the zen style 300?

    ?After many attempts? (like 6) with creative support to convince them this was a software bug, the end state response was to send the player back. Using better judgement, I waited for a new software release and indeed the problem was fixed in a subsequent release of the software.
    My main frustration here was they seem to not want to escalate problems quickly to the right level of technical support that actually understands the software/debugging? vs hardware? and can look through a set of debugging steps and tests I sent in the first notes and realize it is not something hardware related. Even after citing my degrees in computer science/electrical engineering and having designed/debugged systems much more complex than this, all I got was simple procedural steps to repeat or send it back, it is a hardware problem. Ug!

  • Import m3u playlist into creative zen V p

    Hi,
    Quick & dirt: does exist any way to import an m3u playlist into my zen V+?
    I tried the "import external playlist" feature in mediaorganizer, but when I try to transfer an error message is prompted: "not enough space on device", it's like the MO is trying to phisically transfer the files into the player rather the playlist, wich is supposed to be an index of files...
    How do I do transfer just the playlist? Am I allowed to perform such operation?

    At this point I'm start to thinking that importing an esternal playlist ain't the right way to create and manage a playlist on zen V.
    Well, just to know: what do you folks use to index / group certain songs in your library? I use media monkey to manage my huge library (50 Gb circa), and i rather use one single mediaplayer just not to mess with such library than -say- media monkey *and* creative mediaplayer.
    Also i'm using smart SW named 'music IP mixer' to easily create playlists on the go in a nice way, even nicer would be to use the same playlists on my zen, but I didn't work it out since.
    And, talking about nice things, that would be fantastic if someone from the tech staff would nicely answer to this very simple question: am I allowed to usem3u indexes on my zen V+?
    Thank you.

  • How do I export My Windows XP's WMP's PLAYLIST to my Zen MX player?

    Hi,
    I have PLAYLISTS in my Windows Media Player. I can transfer files to my Zen MX. However, I don't know How to export My Windows XP's WMP's PLAYLIST to my Zen MX player? Can anyone help me?

    Thanks for your replies. It amazes me that there are people in this forum who would take time from their busy schedule to answer my questions. What do you guys do for a living?
    What version of WMP are you using? If it is WMP got to sync tab >in the left-side colum click on playlists & right-click the playlist you want to sync to player & choose "add to sync list" then connect player & start sync.
    That's exactly what I did. The mp3 files transferred from WMP to Zen's folders, but not the playlists. In fact, my Zen did not have a Playlist folder displayed in WMP. Can you tell me if yours does?
    Also, can you tell me if it is better to use WMP to sync my Zen MX or is it better to use Creative's Centrale software?
    Have you tried copying from you computer and paste directly to your zen?
    Yes, but WMP creates *.wpl as playlist files while the zen creates *.mpu3. My Zen MX does not seem to recognize? *.wpl.

  • Creating a playlist on the ZEN Style M100/300 using WinAmp

    On WinAMP's left panel, right-click on "Playlists". Select "New Playlist...", then enter your playlist name.
    2) Select the songs you wish to add to the playlist, drag & drop them into the playlist name you've just created.
    3) Right-click on the playlist title example "John's Birthday Demo",select "Send to" ---> "USB Dri've H:" (assuming H: is your device dri've leter assigned to the player). The playlist and the songs listed in your playlist will be transfered into the ZEN Style M series player?
    4) Safely disconnect your player from the Windows system ,then disconnect your player from the USB cable. The player hourglass icon will appear and spin for a while, this is to generate and update the player's memory since new contents are added. Once the process has completed, scroll to "Music" --> "Playlist" then select your newly added playlist title to play.
    Note: Please make sure that you have already loaded the songs into the MUSIC folder of the ZEN Style M series player before creating the playlist.

  • How do I import existing .m3u playlists to the Zen Mic

    I imported all of my PC-based .m3u playlists into the MediaSource Organizer. The playlist names now appear under "My Playlists" in the Organizer, but I can't import them into the player! When I double click an imported playlist nothing happens and when I trie to drag and drop them to the player's playlist folder it freezes up for 30 seconds but nothing happens.

  • Is it possible to have a playlist on my ipod touch without the contents of the playlist appearing in the main library?

    I want to put lanuage learning files on my ipod touch, but don't want to listen to how to say "where is the bathroom?" in another language while playing through my main library.  Is it possible to just keep files on a playlist and not in the main library?

    No, but if you are in the habit of listening to your iPod in Shuffle mode, then set the language files to Skip when shuffling.
    To set Skip when shuffling, highlight the track in your iTunes Library and click on File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling and then Sync the iPod to the Library.
    Note that if you select a single track, the Skip when shuffling is a tick-box. But if you select multiple items, the Skip when shuffling option becomes a drop-down menu where you choose either Yes or No. Even if that option says Yes, change it to No and back to Yes. This ensuures that all tracks you have highlighted are set to Yes.
    Another option is to create a separate Playlist that includes everything except the language files. This will require you to manually add any new songs each and every time you buy new songs.
    Alternatively;
    you could even create a Smart Playlist to automatically add all the new music but to exclude the language files. To do that, set the Genre of the language files to "Language" (or similar) and then:
    Make sure you are looking at your entire Music Library, not just one part of it or a Playlist.
    Click on File/New Smart Playlist
    In the line that appears, change "Artist" to Media Kind (from the drop-down menu)
    The next two boxes should now show is and Music. If not, change them so that they do.
    Click on the + box at the end of that line (this will add a new line)
    Change "Artist" to Genre (from the drop-down menu)
    Change "Contains" to is not (from the drop-down menu)
    In the last (empty) box, type in Language or whatever genre you have given to the language files. Make sure it is typed in exactly as it is in the files.
    Click OK
    Rename the Smart Playlist as you want.
    Sync the iPod with iTunes.
    Note that this Smart Playlist will automatically add any new music to it. You do not need to add new songs yourself!

  • When duplicating a field, even when the original field is locked, the duplicated fields appear at different positions on pages that are the same size. How do I make them uniform?

    I'm trying to put a hidden time stamp field on the bottom of all pages of a thousand page document, yet when I duplicate the field, the reproduced fields appear at different positions on different pages. Is there a way to make them all appear uniformly on each page. I've tried using the Lock function in the Properties menu before duplicating but to no avail. Please help.

    I go to Tools>Forms> Edit...Do you want to detect...No. Add New Field>Text Field. I lay out my field at the bottom of the page, adjust the Properties (Hidden but printable, read only, font, alignment), Lock the Properties. Then I right-click and hit Duplicate.

  • How do I organize my songs(files,playlists) in my zen nano p

    I have read the FAQ about organizing in a USB mass storage player, but I still do not understand how to do it. I have a Zen nano plus with GB and I would like to put my songs into a certain order and/or in 'playlists'. In the FAQ it says to click on the folder where the tracks are that you want reordered, but I do not have a seperate folder where tracks are. Is there also a way to make folders to put songs into If so, how? Also, when a song is playing and I hold down the 'scroll' button a screen comes up that says root with a folder in the left hand corner and two arrows on either side at the bottom with no other words. What is this? Does it have anything to do with making different folders? Most of my songs that are in the Creative Mediasource Organizer are not under the PC music library but in Zen Nano Plus(on the left hand side of organizer) and only show when my zen nano plus is connected to the computer, is that supposed to happen? Will it help in making folders/reordering if all the songs are in the PC music library? How do I put them there(the songs that are in the library are also in the Zen Nano Plus area)? Please help.

    Right click the header bar. Select "Date Added" to add it if it isn't already a sort category. Then click the heading to sort either in ascending or descending order.
