Help With My Creative Mediasource Organis

When I open the program up,it says
"Your music library is corrupted & cant be recovered.Mediasource will now revert to your most recent backup available.Would you like to continue?"
Then I press "Yes". Afterwhich another pop-up appears.
It reads...
"You have no available backup.Mediasource will now create a new Music Library"
Then I press "OK". Then another pop-up appears.
It reads...
"This PC music library cant be opened as the Database Engine is corrupted. Please run the Microsoft Jet Engine 4.0 Service Pack 3 or above that is available at the Microsoft website."
I went to the Microsoft website & downloaded something along the lines of Jet Engine 4 Service Pack 8 because I couldn't find exactly the "Microsoft Jet Engine 4.0 Service Pack 3".

Some of the Microsoft Jet and Microsoft MDAC files of your operating system may be corrupted. Use a MDAC repair tool from http://www.macropool.com/en/download/mdac.html The above tool has fixed the problem of MediaSource's corrupted database problem for many users. You may want to try it. If the above did not work for you and your operating system is WinXP SP2, you may want to uninstall WinXP SP2 and re-install WinXP SP2 to repair it. Again, this has worked for some users.

Can anyone help me with downloading Creative MediaSource in Windows Vis

I've tried over and over to download Creative MediaSource through the Windows Vista application section for the Zen Touch. It continuosly gives me this error during file extracting. Can anyone help me with this?!

Hi
I have checked to see if there are any Windows 8-8.1 drivers available for your model machine from HP and sadly none are listed , Also even if it had been possible to get driver support for the upgrade you would have still had to pay Microsoft for the upgrade via Retail disk package or an online ISO download .
Kind Regards

Printing Badly Needed in Creative MediaSource Organi

I am posting this in hopes that someone with the Creative organization will read it. I have my whole collection on my computer in mp3 format, as well as on my 40GB Nomad Jukebox Zen. I want to make a printed listing of my library. I have been able to do this to some extent with a competing product, but only by second guessing the organization of their database.
Such a printout would need flexibility with regard to organization and formatting of the output, which is a lot to ask for. But a very workable compromise would be a feature which would output a csv text file whose contents could then be imported into Excel (or some other suitable program.) This is what I did with the competing software and I was able to print very small lines with bold headings for the album names, etc.
Perhaps there is some such feature already available in the MediaSource organizer; if so, someone please direct me to it. If not, I think the lack of printing capability (of some sort) is a significant deficiency which should be addressed. Even an explanation of the database structure would be helpful.
Thanks for listening.

(2)Does it mean uninstalling the current PlayCenter and then regenerating all the (my) 7000 entries? Does the printing feature on the older PlayCenter give any control over the font size and page arrangement?
I'm not sure if PlayCenter clashes with MediaSource, so you might have to uninstall it.
You have to install PC2 first, then the update 3.02.52. PlayCentre 3.02.52 (links are to Nomadness.net's download section)
The printed output was very basic with zero control if memory serves correct.
As for the WinAmp plugin, would I have to duplicate an MP3 library in WinAmp to get the HTML output?
No. It loads the library from your player. Plus you can control the display format of the queue, so have some control over the output.

Help Please! Creative MediaSource vs. WMP10 - Zen Mi

Okay, so when I first got my Zen Micro, I used the Creative MediaSource that came with it to organize all my music, and I thought it worked perfectly. However, I -just- updated the firmware, and now it's sync-ed with Windows Media Player 0. At first I thought it would be no problem, but I totally can't get used to Windows Media PLayer 0. I tried use Creative MediaSource again, but now I can't get my Zen Micro to sync with it!
Can someone please help me?!~Airiviel
ETA: can someone walk me through the downgrading procedure?Message Edited by Airiviel on 0-7-2005 0:26 PM

Ok. The way i did it:
. Download the version .3 and then delete the version 2.whatever upgrade file oof of your PC.
2. Now go onto the Zen Micro and go into recovery mode (take out the battery and then hold the power switch to on while re-inserting the battery)
3. Scroll to the menu option "Reload Firmware". This will erase the current firmware.
4. Start the version .3 update and then poof TA-DA, you have the excellent firmware on the Zen Micro.

Can't find my zen xtra in the Creative MediaSource Organi

My Zen Xtra shows in "NOMAD Explorer" but when I try to use Creative MediaSource Organizer to transfer file from my computer to Zen xtra player, I can't found Zen xtra under "my computer"
any help? My player has the latest firmware and also latest dri've was installed in my computer!!
thanks for helping

super80: Have a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net on how to install MediaSource, which also makes reference to the required plugin.

Zen Xtra won't appear in Creative MediaSource Organi

I've been using my 30 GB Jukebox for a couple years w/ no real problems except that I remember there being a problem w/ a USB port & I had to change something so that the Creative MediaSource Organizer software could recognize the mp3 player. Now I've bought a 60 GB Zen Xtra (same player, x2) & am having the same problem. I've upgraded everything & hate the new interface for transfering files... most of the time the program just freezes. I'd like to be able to use the same Creative software I was using before, but it doesn't recognize the new device. If anyone knows what I'm talking about or how I can fix it, I'd rather not have to call?Customer Service?again for $3.

I'm just giving this topic a bump. I've upgraded to Creative MediaSource Organizer v 3.30.2, but it won't recognize either of my mp3 players when I plug them in. I'm able to use the Zen Xtra Media Explorer, but?most of the time it just freezes up. I'd like to be able to use the software I'm familiar w/, so if anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it. I seem to remember having a similar problem when I first purchased my 30 GB Zen Xtra.

I need help with my Creative Zen Vision M 3

Hi!? So I was listening to my creative zen vision M 30g mp3 player when it froze in the middle of a song. I tried to reset it using the reset hole on the bottom. When I reset it, it rebooted to the recovery mode and it has been stuck there ever since. I tried using all the options on the screen, clean up, format all, reload firmware and the reboot. The only one that really works is the reboot. The other ones will go through the motions then stop and give me the message " hard disk problem"? anyway, I can fix this at home or do I have to send it away? I have had it for about /2 now so its factory warrenty has expired so I guess I am concerned about the cost of repair. At the same time however, It was almost $300 when I bought it so I dont want to just settle for the fact that it is now not working.
Any help or advice or similar stories would be helpful. Or cost?Amas2

Upgrading Creative MediaSource Organi

Hi All,
I have a 30GB Zen Extra with firmware .03.02 and MediaSource Organizer 2.0.07. They're running on an XP ServPak 2 laptop with all current critical updates. I was thinking of updating to Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38.
Question: Will my existing player firmware work OK with Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38? Or will I need to upgrade my player firmware?
Thanks!
Advait

I have a Zen Sleek. Same deal... I wanted to upgrade the MediaSource software to version 5 because there are some bugs I've noticed that I was hoping were fixed in the new version.
I tried to use automatic update from within Mediasource - it did not work. I downloaded the new version manually.
Upon uninstall of old version and install of new version I get this wierd error CTXCommonDoInstall.return fails to launch error code 247024864.
What the _______ is this?
The install stops in its tracks. Now I have neither the old nor the new version on my system. How does one fix this?

MPEG-4 Audio and Creative MediaSource Organi

I used iTunes before purchasing Audigy 4, and a good chunk of my music is in MPEG-4 Format, but my creative Mediasource Organizer won't play them. Anyone know what and how to convert them so they will play on the Organizer?

iTunes will convert to MP3. I think this is probably your best option.

Help with a creative Zen Tough 40gb Model No. dap-hd0

I have had this MP3 player for a long time, and I had to replace the harddri've in my computer. When I installed the drivers that is on the creative website. Creative Mediasource will not recognize the player. I tried using WMP but it gave me an error message of something like this device uses a driver that is not supported by windows media player roll back to the previous version. I did do that but windows media player 0 will only put files on the MP3 player not take them from MP3 player to computer. I'm just wondering if there is a archi'ved driver somewhere or am I stuck without a way to get songs off of my MP3 player. Thanks

There was one other method that worked for me some months back, and that was to first revert back to Windows Media Player 0 by removing WMP and Windows Media Player Runtime and to also use add/remove programs and remove all Creative software, then try adding your firmware onto your MP3 Player. After the firmware was installed, I could go back and add all my software. At a later date, by accident, I updated my WMP0 to WMP and everything still worked fine. I can't stand to use WMP 0 for my MP3 Players.
That was information that I got off fixya.com ( a repair site for MP3 Players of all brands)

Error messages when transferring to Zen Touch with Creative MediaSource Organi

Hello all,
My name is Allana and my lovely fiance bought me a Zen Touch for our 6 year anni'versary. I already love it dearly but transferring MP3s using MediaSource Organizer is a real nightmare.
It will transfer about 5-0 tracks then I will get a 'Server Busy, switch or retry' error, which is quickly followed by a 'Player is not connected or is busy' error.
Has anyone else experienced these errors? What did you do to fix it's
It is taking me absolutely ages to transfer tracks at this rate.
Please help!
Thanks,
Allana

Connection problems can be due to a lot of reasons.
Have a look through the list here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

Problem with Creative MediaSource Organi

I recently purchased a new laptop and installed the Creative software that came with my Zen Neeon. However, whereas on my old computer I could select a recording source, on my new computer it only allows?me to record using a mic. Is there any way to fix this issue? I use the other recording options quite frequently and so far haven't been able to find a mention of this problem. Thanks.
Message Edited by cleomau on 09-8-2008 0:35 PM

If your new laptop has only microphone input, then you can only record from microphone.

Creative mediasource organi

whenever i start up i get a bunch of error messages saying it doesn't recognize certain files. including mp2, mp3, aif, etc. after burning a cd it says it has an error and must shutdown. the cd is burned with the music but to get the information, song title, etc, i have to open up the organizer and reinsert the cd and make sure it has the information.
any idea how i can fix this?
thanks for any help, alex

you dont understand. theres nothing wrong with the mp3 player, its fine. i just updated the firmware and sort of formatted it. the problem is with the mediasource organizer that freezes and screws up my computer whenever i try to transfer files. im not sure whether it has to do with that playforsure thing which im not sure what it even does or whether its something else. my firmware is version 2.0.03, and the mediasource organizer is version 3.30.2 . it works fine until i connect the player and it has that thing on the upper left side with pc music library, music store, and my computer, and when u connect the jukebox another option is added, and when it tries to open that it freezes.
anybody who has any idea whats wrong or how to fix this please reply as soon as possible.
thanks
