Help with ripping mixed cd to zen micro pla

New at this, my friend made me a mixed cd that is already tracked. I want to rip the cd into my zen micro mp3 player. After I rip it into my player will it pause after every track or will it play through the whole mixed cd. Can anyone explain to me step by step on how to do this. Thanks, Fernando

You can rip the CD using various programs, including Creative's MediaSource.
Once on the Micro you just queue the album on the player, make sure the play mode is set to normal, then it will play the tracks in sequence.
If there's any part of this that you need more detail on then post back.

  • Help with my Bran-New Creative Zen Micro Photo. [Questi

    <EM>If you don't want to see the backing of my whole story skip to the bold print at the bottom!</EM>I also want you to know I read the FAQs and searched through some topics like this, but haven't found any asking my question.First of all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching Creative's Zen for a long time now. I kept observing each one closely before I purchased a product. I then saw the Zen Micro Photo come out. This one won my attention. I loved this, I quickly searched for reviews and went for the buy for Christmas. I told my dad about it and he was "iffy" on the price, but it was better then the iPod in my opinion.Christmas day came and I opened it. Right away I checked everything out I knew a lot about the menu already and all, but not really how to control it. I checked to make sure everything worked. All systems were go. After listening to the defaults (which I loved) I went to go install the software. I already had Media Player 0 and Adobe, oh and I didn't want the freakin AOL toolbar! Lol, so I installed everything else. It took forever, but I hooked it up and I installed the drivers, but as soon as I plug in the USB connector I see: "A HIGH-SPEED USB device has been plugged into a LOW SPEED USB port.After that, I switched USB ports, btu I got same message. I hit the X and then tried to charge. I got the Lightening Bolt, but no dimming of lights. I found out that this computer is not letting me install any service packs, I'm confused about that.My question:Is there anyway I can charge this mp3 player and download music onto my Zen Micro Photo without Service Pack ? Or did I just pay $250 for a really cool glowing mp3 player to be used as a paperweight? (I love this Zen and I ran the battery dead hoping that would make the charging easier).Help?
    My Specifications:
    My Mp3 Player: Zen Micro Photo (Black)What I tried: Switching USB ports and re-installing Service Pack Software: Not sure how to determine firmware without installing something. I'm on a XP Professional and I'm using the Creative Media Source and Creative Media Toolbox

    Thank you DM for responding. I am expecting problems, but it still won't allow me to charge the Zen Micro Photo or even use the Creative Media Source. I can't upload any songs or any contacts on it. I haven't uploaded anything yet, but it's not reading the USB device. When I run Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer I get this message at the top of the screen: "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer. I can't organize anything or add songs... so it just makes all the programs I downloaded useless and my Creative product unusuable.ONe thing it does do though... whenever I plug in my Zen MIcroPhoto to the USB it turns it on and glows, but only shows my battery at the top with one red line and the green lightening bolt filling the battery up.After leaving it like this for two hours the green moves, but the red bar stays the same size.

  • Please Help - How Do I Rip From WMP Directly - Zen Micro

    Is it possible to rip directly from wmp directly to the zen micro? If so, how? I've given up on Mediasource as it won't connect to Gracenote CDDB.. Many thanks in advance..
    Pete

    I'm sure only MediaSource can do it.
    You mentioned that CDDB wasn't working with MediaSource. Did you try the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net?

    Although not for the same purpose I have answered at full on what you could do to if your PC can't see your micro.
    First of all try All three recovery options in the order presented:
    Clean up
    Format (ok, you said you already formated but whatever)
    Reload Firmware

  • Help with Creating Playlists or similar- Zen Visio

    I am starting to feel very frustrated with my Zen Vision M and the software. I have years of experience with computers but little with non-photo media or software. I ripped some 250 CD using various ripping software and no internet connection. The files are fine and are stored on my computer in folders by category...classical, new age, etc. Each folder contains a sub-folder for the individual cd's files. I want to transfer the files (data) to the ZEN so that I can go to a category and then see the individual albums and then select and play an album....seems pretty basic. However, I can not obtain a solution with either Windows Media player or the Creative Software. The play list function seems to add only tracks and not access to a particular CD. I find WM and the Creative software to be very confusing. I downloaded and printed the tech sheets on creating play lists, but I still couldn't solve my problem. I thought I could use Windows explorer to transfer folders and sub- folders to the ZEN, but everything ended in the "album" area as an alpha listing by album (folder) names, which isn't very helpful. Creative tech support wasn't helpful either. Can the ZEN do what I want? How? This is too much time and aggravation for the benefit. Thanks!?Greg

    i did some web searching and found several references to the problem. one recommendation i found was to use windows media player to organize the zen vision instead. i toyed with it one evening and it seems like it will work well. things have been too busy lately for me to really take a good look at how flexible it will be.

    My Micro suddenly just went into Recovery mode and i have tried all the options and have had no sucess with any of them has anyone else had this problem if so did you get out of it !! i need help cause the bus ride home is no fun with out it

    Ohareehoh,
    If the Zen Micro is clicking at the point you are describing, then it sounds like the Hard Dri've has been damaged and you are physically hearing the clicking of the dri've. I would suggest contacting support for repair options.

  • Zen Micro is compatible with Audible.co

    Creative Labs Direct Sales responded to my question with this quote "Yes, the Zen Micro is compatible with Audible.com. Any format used at Audible.com should work just fine with the Zen Micro."
    Everytime I try to transfer Audible content to the Zen Micro I receive an error message. Is there software that needs to be downloaded? Is the transfer process different?
    -Rukauf

    It's not... there are a few other threads here containing workarounds (sorry I don't know how to post the link to them here) that involve either ) burning the Audible.com files to CDs and then ripping the CDs or 2) converting the Audible.com files to wav files using a program called Microsoft Graph Edit, and then converting them to mp3 or wma.
    You aren't the first who states they have received incorrect information on this subject. Further, I contacted Audible about their future plans to support the Zen Micro. They responded that they currently have no plans to support it (as of late January)
    I am a huge fan of this player, but if you want to be assured of seamless Audible.com supprt, you should probably consider a different player until a clear direction is determined.
    Good luck,
    Craig

  • Zen Micro as a portable HardDisk: PROBLEM WITH BIG FI

    Hello,
    i own a Zen Micro 5 GB, firmware is 2..02.
    When i tried to put a DIVX-movie on it, to take it to another computer, the file (around 700MB) was put succesfully on the Zen Micro's harddisk, but when i tried to copy it to other computers FROM the Zen, it failed, giving an error about insufficient memory. (on the zen i suppose, because this error came on different, good computers). Also, smaller files (like mp3) give no problems with this.
    IS THE ZEN MICRO ABLE NOT ONLY TO STORE LARGE FILES, BUT TO COPY THEM AS WELL, because using it as a portable harddisk was one of my main reasons for choosing this product.
    Or is my product faulty? Or firmware?
    Thank you for reactions, (others who experience this?), suggestions or solutions!
    Greetings!

  • Creative MediaSource won't recognize my Zen Micro all of the sudden!! What is going o

    When I first began using my Zen Micro, Creative MediaSource worked fine. I could start my player and it recognized it right away. Then I was told I had to update my firmware and download an update to MediaSource. I did both but shortly thereafter I started having problems! Primarily, when i plug in my Micro a window pops up where I have 3 options, none of which are Creative MediaSource. The window has "MTP Media Player" across the top bar, but i havn't a clue what the "MTP" stands for. The 3 options given are "Sync your music using Napster", "Synchronize media files to this device using Windows Media Player", and "Take no action". I initialy tried "Take no action" and then opened MediaSource only to find it didn't recognize my Micro any more. I then e-mailed Creative for help and got a reply telling me to.............
    Thank you for contacting Creative Technical Support.
    In regards to your issue, you can try uninstall and reinstall
    MEdiaSource with these procedures.
    . Click START -> RUN -> type MSCONFIG and click OK.
    2. Click SELECTIVE STARTUP and then uncheck LOAD STARTUP GROUP ITEMS.
    3. Apply the changes and reboot the computer when prompted.
    4. Uninstall MediaSource from the system using ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.
    5. Manually delete the MediaSource folders from the computer system :
    C:\PROGRAM FILES\CREATIVE\MEDIASOURCE
    C:\PROGRAM FILES\CREATIVE\CTCDDB
    C:\PROGRAM FILES\CREATIVE\MEDIA MANAGER
    C:\MEDIA\MUSIC
    6. Right-click your My Computer icon and click Properties.
    7. Click the Hardware tab and then click Device Manager.
    8. Remove any listings for Creative NOMAD products in the Device
    Manager
    (they will most likely be located in the Uni'versal Serial Bus
    Controllers category).
    9. If you have a category call Other Devices, look for listings in
    there
    called USB Device. If you have any, remove them.
    0. Install MediaSource only from the original installation CD.
    NOTE: DO NOT OPEN MEDIASOURCE WHILE PERFORMING THESE PROCEDURES.
    Also, you can try reloading the Zen Micro's firmware through recovery
    mode.
    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.
    Clean Up: Performs a disk scan on the players hard disk
    Format: Formats the players hard disk All contents will be lost
    Reload OS: Reloads the Operating System on the Jukebox. Do not select
    this option unless you have downloaded the firmware. Reloading your OS
    will not effect the contents of the files stored on your Jukebox Zen
    Reboot: Reboots the device
    Please attempt the options 'Reboot' and 'Clean Up' first. If they do
    not
    help, you must try 'Reload OS'. To do this, you must have a downloaded
    firmware from our website ready. Please let us know the results after
    these steps, as soon as possible.
    For faster service please reply with previous correspondence when
    replying to this email.

    I followed the directions, but 3 of the folders listed in step 5 didn?t exist (only C:\PROGRAM FILES\CREATIVE\MEDIASOURCE did), there were no Creative NOMAD products listed as in step 8, and there was no ?Other Devices? as stated in step 9. I did everything else for all the steps through step 0.
    I then re-installed Creative MediaSource from the CD only to find it still didn?t recognize my player! I?ve now done this twice with the same results!
    Zen Micro Media Explorer doesn?t even recognize my Micro when it'ss plugged in! It just keeps saying ?The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen Micro to the computer?.
    I?m hardly a tech expert, but it seems to me that something on my PC is detecting my player and decieding for itself that the only 2 programs it will let manage my Zen Micro are Napster and Windows Media Player. If this is the case where do I go from here?!?!

    LakeTahoeGuy,
    Just as SSR mention, if you're using v2.xx.xx (MTP) firmware then you will need to get the correct version of Media Explorer that support this firmware and also install the MTP plugin for MediaSource. Both the software and plugin are available from the site SSR mention.

  • Zen Micro isn't working on 2 computers out of th

    Hi everybody.
    Once I updated my zen micro player's firmware, it doesn't work on 2 computers out of 3.
    There doesn't seem to be any sort of conflict with the device. The Zen Micro works on my laptop that runs a windows xp HOME edition. This seems to be the only difference with the other two computers, that have an OS win xp PRO.
    The weird thing is that when I connect the device, a window pops out asking me if I want to synchronize the files. So far so good. The problem is that it is not recognized, there doesn't seem to be any device connected to the computer, and the pc asks me to connect the device. On the Device Manager the player is shown normally, that's why I say there should be no conflicts.
    I tried unistalling and re-installing the installation cd, I also tried to update several times the player with a new driver. But I cannot do anything with the player because the pc tells me to connect the device.
    This is driving me insane.
    Hope somebody can help! =)

    johnnyenglish,
    Take a look at knowledgebase article #0053. It covers this topic and how to resolve it.

  • Creative Zen Micro vs Windows Vista 32

    Hey guys, Looking for a little help and this seems to be the right place to get, lots of helpful people! I have a 3 year old Zen Micro, 4/5Gb I think and it worked fine with my old Dell laptop which ran XP, I used to drag and drop mpg files easily with the bundled software, all was well. Back in January the Dell laptop reached the end of it's life and I layed my hands on a new Sony Vaio laptop, running the all singing, all dancing brand new shiney Windows Vista. For whatever reason, I had no need for the MP3 player for most of this this summer and now I've come to need it again and it obviously needs updating (all my music is 6 months out of date) and it seems I've lost the original software disc, bummer. So I downloaded the ZenCast Organiser & Sync software off the Creative site as it said it ran with Vista and plug in the Micro and .........nothing. The Sync manager thing just says that there's no player attatched and it won't hook up. Am I missing something Do I need another driver for it'sor something I've had a look through this site and all I seem to be able to find is what I've already downloaded. Help!

    What firmware is your Zen Micro running? [Menu-> System-> Information]
    There are lots of threads that discuss Vista's problems recognizing Legacy Devices- here's one of them.

  • Creative Zen Micro failing to boot

    I'm stuck with my 3 month old Zen Micro failing to boot up. It gets stuck at a screen showing 'CREATIVE' and refuses to go further. It happened to fall from my hand to the ground a day previous to this. But immediately after it fell down, it was playing properly and I listened to a song before shutting it down. I tried charging it. It is not turning on or off. It will automatically discharge. My cousin bought this from the US. I am in India and I don't know if I can get any service centre to check for hardware troubles. Can you help me?

    Unfortunately that does sound like a hardware problem. If it is broken because it was dropped then this would not normally be covered by warranty. For more information on warranty or possible repairs, you can contact Customer Support for India:
