Exporting Music listing from Creative Media Sou

Is there anyway of exporting my music listing from My Music Library to Smartlisttogo program?
Leif

Sure, if they are not protected WMP files.
Drag the audio files from the folder to the Library in the Source list
or choose File > "Add File to Library" and select the song file or folder.

TRANSFER between creative media sou

Hi guys, i've got a new computer and was wondering what would be the quickest/easiest way to transfer my music library in creative media source from my old computer to my new one? I have star rated all my songs, so it it possible to transfer this rating?

The rating should have been stored in the audio file as well. To be sure, it is suggested that you right-click on the tracks in PC Music Library and select Update Tag. This should update the tag of the files. After that, just copy the audio files to you new PC. Then re-import the files into MediaSource's PC Music Library.

Can't seem to transfer with Creative Media Sou

Ok so is anyone else having problems transferring songs from creative media source to their mp3 player? I have plenty of space on my muvoN200 so thats not the problem. When I try to troubleshoot the problem there is nothing on the error that I am getting. Anytime I try to transfer it always says "an error has occurred while transforming this file". I have over 50 songs on my mp3 player so I have had no such problems in the past and I have done nothing different. I also went and downloaded the newest version of MediaSource but the problem still persists. Unsure what is going on and wondering if anyone has had this problem or knows how to help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

You may have hit the limit in the root directory. Delete a few files off the player, create folder and transfer those files to the folder instead of root directory.

Music from Creative Media Source

I purchased a Creative Zen touch a year ago and have all my music organized on their version of itunes which is called creative media source. I just bought an ipod video and need to know how to transfer all of my music from Creative to itunes and then of course to my ipod. Is it possible to transfer all the music I have on Creative to itunes?

Sure, if they are not protected WMP files.
Drag the audio files from the folder to the Library in the Source list
or choose File > "Add File to Library" and select the song file or folder.

Playing music via Creative Media Sou

Hi, I've searched through this forum for an answer to this with no luck. Once I have songs loaded on my Zen Touch, can I play them through my computer (i.e., desktop speakers) via Media Source?
What I'd like to do is remove the music files from my desktop HD and simply connect the Zen when I want to listen to music. At this point, I can move files to the Now Playing list and play them, but the audio only comes through the headphones. I'd like to avoid having to unplug my desktop speakers. Oh, and I have successfully started up Nomad Explorer and "cut and paste" files to Media Source - is this the only solution? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Most likely your PC is USB. If it were USB2 it will buffer the files in MediaSource and play them on the PC. More here.
You can get the excellent freeware JBHTTP or the equally excellent shareware Notmad (with the Xtreamer function) which *should* play the tracks on your PC.Message Edited by SSR on 2-05-2004 0:28 PM

Creative zen firmware update now trouble with creative media sou

I wanted to start downloading music from an online store and was advised that I needed a firmware upgrade for my creative zen, which I did (version 2.2.02) and could download music. However since I have done this my zen is no longer recognised when I connect to my pc - which is running on Windows XP. I took advice from creative and reloaded my firmware after starting my player in recovery mode and then I reloaded the creative media source organiser software. After that I could find the player in the organiser but everything was laid out differently with all my music in folders which made it really tricky to navigate.
The icon is this grey thing which doesnt look like a creative at all! Although I can move files around it is still not recognised on the bottom right of my pc and I can't safely remove the hardware because of this. I am also having problems with syncing from the pc library to the zen and it is not picking up duplicate files but adding them again so I am getting loads of copies of the same music - nightmare. When I am deleting it is just not recognising and I have been through this process a few times now and its getting pretty tiresome!
Should I reinstall the organiser again and do a clean up in recovery mode?

The Zen MicroPhoto is an MTP Device.
Minimum System Requirements:
Microsoft? Windows? XP (Service Pack or higher)/XP 64-bit
You might find a work-around for not having the minimum system requirements in this thread or this thread.

Windows Vista--again- Cannot install Creative Media Sou

Hello. I have a Zen Microphoto. I bought a new computer running window vista home premium 32 bit. I have been tryng to install the creative media source 5 to manange my music and playlists. I prefer this over Media Player. Every time I try to install the program, the setup program stalls with an error message, "searching for installed components" I have tried installing the program with the ZEN plugged into different USB ports and I have tried deleting the driver from the device manager and reinstalling it. Can anyone help me with this??

I would work through the reset procedures given under the various FAQ threads and then try the firmware upgrade again after getting it out of recovery mode as that seems to be the issue. There seem to be a number of threads with things to try. I would not give up but first work through the various suggestions to get it out of recovery mode. Then post separately re the recovery mode problem to see if anyone has ideas for solving that first. Did it go into recovery mode immediately after the firmware upgrade? Will it let you try to do the firmware again?When I connect it takes about 20 secs before the player is recognized by media player. In terms of transfer to your own laptop - do you have a burner on the friends PC for burning a DVD or 2. Or a slower way is multiple transfers using a USB memory stick.

M3U from Creative Media playli

There is a facility to import from M3U playlists to Creative Media but with the new DAK playlist manager I could easily print the playlist. Unfortunetly I can't find an export facility to move my Creative Media playlists to an M3U format.
Has anyone been able to find a way to export Creative Media playlists to M3U format?

Personally I've never heard of one. I know that Notmad can backup playlists onto the PC, but I'm not sure what format they're in. I'm thinking it isn't M3U though.

Cannot transfer files using Creative Media Sou

I cannot Cannot transfer files using from my PC to my Creative Jukebox 0GB using Creative Media Source. Since I installed Windows Media Player 0, it seems that Windows Media Player 0 is the only program enabled to transfer files to my creative Jukebox. I would just go ahead and use Media Player, but Media Player won't let me change my library to one designated music file folder location. Media Player wants to find every copy of the same song on my system and is very difficult to use to transfer the files to my Jukebox device. Is there any fix to make Creative Media Source the preferred (or only) program used to transfer the files from PC to device?

i am having a similar problem, although i have not downloaded windows media player 0. The creative mediasource software wont let me transfer songs onto my zen touch (20G). i only got the player a couple of days ago and it only has about 400 songs on it so far so there's no problem with the memory. I had problems before where it wouldnt let me upload anything that began with a letter after 's' in the alphabet! i solved this (no idea how) but the problem seems to have come back and now it wont let me up load anything. When i atempt to, it comes up with the prompt "unable to read file. file may be in use, missing or corrupted." (which they arent as far as i know) I also, for some reason, cannot play any songs through creative mediasource - even though i could a few hours ago!
Please could someone help as this is very frustrating!!!!!!

How do I move my music list from one external to another?

As per my post a couple of minutes ago, I do not want to run the risk of Itunes deleting all my Ipod files again.
I have put all my files onto an external hard drive. I was up until 4am this morning removing duplications in the music list. I never want to do that again.
Here is what I would like to do: the external HD is labeled as drive E under "preferences"; it is a drive that requires ac. I have copied all the files to a USB 60 gig drive. The USB drive shows up as drive F so Itunes would not be able to find the files. The last time that happened (i.e., 2 days ago), it erased all my Ipod files.
How can I make Itunes find all the files on the USB drive? If I can get that to happen I can always have the files with me.
Thanks for help,
Chuck

Note: Canned response, so may not specifically address your questions, but may be enough for you to figure out what you want to do...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

How to play MPEG4 music files using Creative Media Source

I use iTunes store for buying music pretty much and receive files in MPEG4 format.
Instead of converting to MP3 I would prefer that my Creative Media Source player/organiser could handle the MPEG4 format. I'm using the Media Source player with an Audigy2ZS and sometimed the older Soundblaster-USB for notebooks.
Is there an upgrade that I have overlooked or ...
Or shall I buy a more professional player, like BMP studio?
I don't like the iTunes player very well!

Recording from Creative Media Aborts

Hi all,
I have been experiencing some probelms trying to record onto my computer via the creative media console. I have sound, and the computer registers the sound, but after a certain amount of time, the program simply stops recording and prompts a message "the recording process was aborted".
I run win XP with a sound blaster audigy 2 sound card. The drive I am recording onto has over 39 gigs of space and I am recording from a pioneer djm 500 mixer plugged in via rca cables to the aux line 2.
I am trying to record dj mix sessions and needless to say it is quite aggrevating to realize that nothing is recorded. The maz time I have tried is around 80 min (that of a cd).
Here is the record settings I have been using:
Channel: Auxiliry 2
WAV, STEREO, 96,000 Khz, 16bit sample rate.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance - Michael

How do you maintain multiple device music lists from 1 computer?

How do you maintain different music lists on separate devices to be synched from one computer? Is it best to establish multiple ID's?

I would just make playlists.

Moving music files from windows media player to itunes

when I first got my ipod, only half of my music files moved from windows media player into itunes. Is there anyway I can import the rest of the music from windows media player into Itunes? I have tried using the import function and add file or folder to library and they do not seem to work!

iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.
