Fast forward problems with Zen Touch (1.01.03 AND PlayForSu

Device: Zen Touch
Firmware: .0.03
Some files cause fast forward problems. Suppose I fast forward to the end of the song. Then I reach the - 00:00.00 marker. HOWEVER, the song goes on and on. It doesn't stop, even if it should (these files aren't corrupt, they work properly on my pc). For e.g. this file causes problems: http://www.hollywoodsaloon.com/podcast/THS-ep9.mp3 and this file http://meandawg.com/audio/MDTop5_0002.mp3.
Anyone know if this is a common problem, and can I fix this by installing the playforsure firmware?Message Edited by Nicos on 07-27-200703:42 AM

Problems With Zen Touch Turn

After just recently purchasing a Zen Touch in December 2005, I already have problems with it.
I have never dropped it or hit it. I plugged it in to re-charge one day after using it and when it was done charging I turned it on, used it for 5 minutes then set it down. The next morning I went to turn it on to use it, and it wouldn't turn on. The blue light at the side on the power button was on, but the screen just wouldn't show up. Now the blue light won't turn off. I have read about these problems with Zen Micro freezing up and read about Zen Touch freezing up back in 2004 when it was released. I have phoned the number but couldn't seem to get through. Should I consider taking it in? Or is there an easier way?

Have you tried resetting it's Connect to the mains adapter and press the tiny recessed button on the side of the player. Don't use anything sharp to press it, a bent paper clip is best.

Problems with Zen Touch - Need He

I bought a Zen Touch about 5 months ago and so far its been great! (apart from the occasional freezing) but all in all I'm quite happy with my choice of MP3 player. Until recently. A problem arose when i deleted all my old music off of the Zen and burned in some new music - It has an error message saying "Add Music from Library" - And i press menu button and it freezes and i can't switch it off.... The oddest thing is that my pc shows that all the tunes are on it but for some reason i can't acess it. I tried everything; i reburned software, reburned the tunes back on, deleted them, waited for the Zen to run out of battery... I'm really missing my Zen at the mo and any help would be GREATLY appreciated....thanx

Problem with Zen Touch & Mediapla

Hi there!
I've recently bought the Zen Touch and I am still quite happy with it. From Windows Mediaplayer I've already put around 0GB of music on it. But since this morning I've got a serious problem. When I start Mediaplayer to play some music it works fine, but when I plug in the Zen Touch, the programm crashes. This means that I can't put on new or delete old music from the Zen Touch.
Does anybody know a solution?
Thanx,
Stefan

Probably worth trying a disk cleanup from rescue mode.
If that doesn't help, is other software like Creative MediaSource working?

Problems with Zen Touch, Player doesn't conn

HiI'm working with Microsoft XP. I've just installed the software which came with my creative zen touch., without any problems. When I plug the player into my computer, it seems to connect as the message appears: new device, creative zen touch player. When I open then the Media Source Organizer it starts updating the music library, but after a few seconds, the following error message appears: player isn't connect. Does anyone knows the problem and how to solve it'sMany thanksCornelia

Go into Device Manger. Look for Zen Touch under USB devices. If it has an exclamation point next to it, there is something wrong with the drivers. Right click on it and then click on "driver", then update the driver.
I had a similar problem with my computer telling me the player was not connected. It turned out that no drivers were installed.

Fast forward problems with 2nd room DVR

I am enjoying my new FIOS set up very much. I have the Home Media option on my HD DVR and STBs. I'm having trouble with the "Fast Forward" when watching shows in my "non" DVR room. When the show is longer than about 45 minutes... after scanning thru commericals the program jumps back to the beginning. This is very frustrating and in some ways defeats the purpose of the multi-room option. I'm considering canceling this option but wanted to check first to see if there's an easy fix.
Thanks in advance.
Arnie

Hey nascar,
All three problems are reported issues and due up to be fixed. The first of your problems isnt a problem with the site, as it is a problem with IMG. The DVR content isnt being flagged properly after finishing it. Number two, you already know what is causing it. I don't know too much about this problem as ad insertion is handled on the network level. I do know they are reporting to be working on a fix at this time. Only a few areas at this time experience this problem as verizon does not locally insert ads in every market. Number three has been around for a while. We have attempted to fix it but the "fix" actually broke more things than it fixed so we had to pull it off the boxes. This one is still a work in progress to be fixed.

Fast forwarding problems with 1.9 update

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems fast forwarding a show since the update. When I am fast forwarding it often skips the commerical break and the show up to the next break on anything more than 2x forward. It does this more while viewing DVR programs from the other DVR. It is also stopping the show with 10 seconds left of recording.

If rebooting the box (done by unplugging power cord for 30 seconds then plugging back in) does not fix your problem, please send a private message. This way we can look into this for you.

Problem with Zen Touch Playlists Resol

With the help of Jean-Francois, a colleague of my husband's, I figured out the problem I was having with putting playlists on my Zen Touch MP3 player in the order in which I wanted them to play, and it's a simple solution but one I thought I'd pass on to others in case anyone else runs into this problem:
Simply put, when you make playlists, have your MP3 player docked with your computer, and make sure that in the MediaSource Organizer program, the player is highlighted (well, it's a gray bar) when you start making the playlist. Then start with "new playlist," give it a name and enter the songs you want in the order you want as usual. What you're doing is actually building the playlist in the player rather than in the MediaSource Organizer, and the playlist will be created as you want it to be.
If, like me, you then want to transfer the playlist to your computer program, you'll find that it will turn up on the 'puter in alphabetical order (the problem I was having with the Zen Touch player); but it's a simple matter to click'n'drag the songs around until they're in the order you want - and, as far as I can tell, they will stay in that order once you've moved them.
So, problem solved - would have been nice if the User's Guide specifically said "you must dock your Zen Touch player to the computer while making playlists if you want the playlist to be in the proper order on your player," but we figured it out.....

Ok, so i plugged my zen touch into my pc yesterday to transfer files (rmvb) to my lappy, but it wouldn't work. so i updated all the software and now the pc recognizes the zen, but the programs (nomad, organizer) won't recognize it. so i used my laptop and it works fine except that it still won't transfer rmvb files. oh, it used to be able to transfer my rmvb files before this. i'm using windows xp. so i'm assuming that this is not a problem with my lappy or my pc... and it's a problem with the actual mp3. oh by the way, besides trying to fix the rmvb file transfer,
Data files are often a problem with the player. It sounds like you've tried pretty much everything you can short of a disk cleanup from rescue mode.
Failing this you could try formatting the player in case something has become corrupted. Of course make sure to backup the player first.
Also there's lots of advice via the "PC connection problems with your player" link in the FAQ post.

Problems with Zen Touch and MediaSou

I have a Zen Touch and I'm trying to figure out how to easily tranfer songs onto a PC. I've downloaded the latest version of MediaSource and drivers, but it doesn't recognize that the player is plugged in. However, the PC and the Nomad Explorer do recognize it. Unforunately, it doesn't seem that you can easily use Explorer to tranfer files onto the PC in an organized manner, nor can you use it to play tracks that are on the Zen. My Zen Touch is Version .0.03, and i'm reluctant to upgrade the firmware because I can't back up the tracks on my PC! Is there anyway around this? Thanks!

mattisb,
Did you download the Jukebox plugin (Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource) that's meant for the Zen Touch player? If not, go to the website and download it.

Having connection problems with Zen Touch...Please h

I haven't used my Touch in a while but I went to install everything last night on my XP machine and when I load MediaSource it says there is no player attached. Windows recognizes the player is there and I can see all the songs in Explorer and I even did the firmware upgrade and that worked. I also tried re-installing MediaSource and it knows the player is there during installation (cuz otherwise it would give an error) but once it is installed, the program can't find it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I'm trying to use MediaSource Organizer, as that seems to be the best way to recover the data without installing a new program/driver to my PC (as I said, my computer is really close to dying and I'm afraid if I have to restart it won't turn back on).Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to get MediaSource to show data files. All I can see are media files. I figured out how to show all files on My Computer menu but not for the Zen Touch menu. How do I see the data files?
MediaSource can't show data files. I believe only PlayCenter, Nomad Explorer and Notmad can do this (and also Creative File Manager, which is essentially a non-music version of Nomad Explorer).

This can't download data files, only audio (if it can even do that, from the player to the PC).

Problem with Zen Touch 20

Hi to everyone....
My Zen Touch is recognized by my computer, but the Creative player doesn't play the Mp3 files selected (the player reads the file, but speakers don't play nothing!!)...
If I connect my Zen Touch to speakers, they play the selected tracks!!!
Can You hel me?
Thanx...

You're most likely using USB. See here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

Various problems with Zen Micro, but getting smaller and small

Last night I turned on my Zen Micro and heard Led Zeppelin's All of my Love for about 4 seconds before the micro froze and started buzzing, reminding me of my Nintendo when the cartridge was dirty. So I tried restarting it several times and it continued with the same. I left it for the night, since I was at someone else's house and had not installed the new firmware; I needed to be at my laptop to mess around with it. In the morning, I looked up some stuff and found out how to access the recovery mode, which I did. I did all of the options, the last one being to format the hard dri've. I had already erased the firmware, but I formatted the hard dri've after I plugged it into my USB port and saw that it had been corrupted anyways and it was completely empty. Then, seeing as everything was gone anyways, I took the opportunity to download the firmware updates and install them, or at least attempt to. I got a message saying the battery level was too low, and to charge it before installing the firmware. I took out the battery and it ran on main power while I installed the first firmware. Then, I put the battery back in and installed the second firmware (newest) and it gave me the same error message about the level being too low. I took out the battery again, but this time it just turned off. I didn't quite understand so I just went to sleep and left it charging. I woke up and was able to install the firmware. Then I went to Windows Media and synced my library to the Micro. Bad idea. I don't know if it's the same with any of you, but I don't exactly love all the songs in my music library. It took every audio file I have on my computer and put it on the Micro. So I figured I'd just open MediaSource and do the whole editing thing I did before it got busted. That doesn't work because of course the music under Creative Zen Micro is different from the music under PC Music Library which, until today, were identical. Now. All I want to know is how I can look at the music inside my Micro in the same way I would if it were in my PC Music Library, where I have a scroll bar on the side with all the artists and albums and a list of tracks next to it. I need this because instead of everything being free and looking the same way it would in my downloads folder, everything is now in folders by artist name and it will take me forever to figure out which songs I do and do not want. Still, at least I've got it working now.

It shouldn't be, assuming you synced via WMP the contents of the PC Music Library. Ultimately the contents of the PC Music Library is irrelevant though as don't you want to edit the contents of the player? I'm guessing you're using the v2 firmware which makes this a little harder...

You can't. That's the problem with the v2 firmware. You might want to go back to the . firmware. For the differences in the firmware versions look at the FAQ post.

New problem with Zen Touch PlayForSure Media Organi

Ok so I started transfering all my music to my Zen last night after upgrading my firmware to play for sure only to discover that ever single album has the tracks number incorrectly.
The first track of every album has no track number and the second song is listed as track and then the rest are numbered wrong from there. It did this to every single album. So I have to go in the track properties and change each one which is VERY time consuming. Is there a fix for this?
I am somewhat annoyed that my hours and hours of music organizing was wasted when I upgraded and I am even more annoyed that the new software that works with the new firmware seems to be crap compared to the original Media Source software.

Anyway I think Media Monkey can rewrite the tag information based on the file name of the mp3.
Will Media MOnkey let me edit files already on the Zen?

Problems With Zen To

Help!:smileysurprised:
I'm going to email the creative people. I have had problems with my zen touch, I've only had it for 2 months. I had to reboot yesterday because it didn't want to turn on or off, it just had the light switch on with no screen information, it was pretty frozen. I rebooted it and connected it to my computer and it fine again but then it seemed like it was fighting to play music or be docked. Once it's docked, it fights and starts playing music again. I just got the smaller version, MUVO 52mb on my computer also. I wonder if it's because I have both drivers on there?
This is the second time this is happening. The first time, my zen touch was going crazy, and the volume and clicker didn't work. I updated it with the firmware and it got fixed. I just wonder, if I just have a messed up crazy, mp3 player? I should return it.

If this is the second time I would say that it's probably just something odd that happened and caused the Touch to go a little crazy, just some anomalous behaviour. As you already have the latest firmware you could try running a disk cleanup. To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
If the behaviour continues then I would consider contacting support to get it replaced.
I doubt drivers can be the issue as assuming you're not using Win 98 SE, the MuVo doesn't use any of Creative's drivers (and they wouldn't be related really to the Touch driver anyway). It might be there is some more general USB issue with this PC though.
