How Do I Creative Media Source Organizer to recognize my old playli

I have recently changed hardri'ves to my new computer. I have spent months editing my track properties to create a playlist. I copied all my music and playlist to the new hardri've, I browsed PC Library to "My Playlist", but I cannot get the organizer to recognize my old playlist. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Did you backup the old database of your MediaSource? Is your old hard disk still around?

  • Creative media source organizer H

    I have a Zen extra. I view the music I have on my harddri've using the creative media source organizer.
    It shows the title, file size, type and date. I am trying to edit the properties to show more items, such as artist and album. Nothing works, I cant add these items. When I view this same music using windows explorer, the artist and album appear. Why wouldnt they show up in the Creative Media Organizer?

    Azhat is referring to his PC hard disk. So, he is actually talking about MediaSource's My Computer. I cannot remember whether MediaSource v2 allows viewing of additional columns in My Computer; MediaSource v3 allows that.
    Azhat, you can actually add the tracks from MediaSource's My Computer to MediaSource PC Music Library. You can then view additional track information by right-click to view more columns (as suggested by SSR).

  • Creative Media Source - Problem adding a song to playl

    I created playlists for my Zen Vision M using Creative Media Source. I did not use the PC Library but rather used the player as the source and created play lists. I have successfully added songs to the playlists over the past several months. Yesterday when I added a song, it replaced the entire playlist with the one song that I was adding. I tested several more times by creating new playlists and the same thing happened.
    I can accomplish the same thing using the explorer but prefer Creative Media Source. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any advice?Thanks. Jay

  • Creative Media Source Organizer not working

    I installed Windows 7 on my computer, then attempted to download Creative Media Organizer 5. It downloaded and installed, but when I attempt to play a music selection with it I get a notice that the program stopped working. Is it a compatibility problem with Windows? If not, what do I have to do to get it to work?

  • Creative media source-How to apply audio cleanup permanant

    I have some older blues in mp3 format that I have downloaded and some that I have ripped from cd. They have alot of hissing and "noise" in the background, when in creative media source organizer, I use audio clean-up button to get rid of hissing and noise, but if I want to burn those songs to cd, how do I apply the audio clean up to the file.
    Also It mentioned in all of the advertising that you can "super rip" your audio cd's, which I have done, but it also says you can permanantly change your whole music "library" into better quality (I am assuming using crystalizer), but how do I permanantly apply these settings to the music files on my hard dri've. Does any one know how to do this, or if there are any good "links" or tutorials I should look at, thanks in advance for replys.

    No, you cannot apply audio clean up permanently to the files. Audio clean up is a unique feature of MediaSource's playback. The noise will be removed by MediaSource before MediaSource plays the audio. However, the physical file is not changed at all. One trick you can use is to record What U Hear while playing the files with clean up enabled. This way, you can record the clean audio.
    SuperRip's audio enhancement cannot be applied permanently to your existing files. You can use the same trick of recording What U Hear.

  • How do you Interface Zen Vision M with Creative Media Source 5 in WIndows XP?

    I am having problems getting the Zen Vision M player to interface with Creative Media Source5 in Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
    It does show up in the Device Manager System as a Portable Device and shows it working correctly.
    When I try to download one of the updates for Media Source 5 it will not install "player not found message"
    So now how do I get it to work with the Creative Media Source? It does not show this player at all.
    Just a note: I did get this player to work in Vista 64 and interface with Creative Media Source 5 but could not download Creative Explorer with Vista 64.

    Well thanks again!!! I must have downloaded the wrong file think it was the 38 version. I downloaded the 36 version and it works great!!!
    I think everything is working on both computers. Im glad because I bought another Vision M from someone on HardForum.
    One of the two might work for a Christmas present for my wife. Now we can get rid of our old Rio Players.

  • 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!

  • Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corrupt

    0Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corrupt? After doing some backup utilities on my music archi've, and relocating them to a new larger dri've, I am now receiving messages that my PC Music Library is corrupt, and is unusable. All of my playlists are gone, and I can't make new ones. it attempts to access a backup copy of the PC Music Library, fails at that as well, then reports it will make a new one. This fails as well, and the message recommends to repair the Microsoft jet Databse Engine and the MDAC, etc.
    So naturally, I go to the Microsoft website, as instructed by Creative, and that's about as useful as you'd expect...none.
    I have attempted to delete what remains of the old one, both via Media Source and Windows (XP),? and have even reinstalled media source. The problem persists. I'm less concerned about recovery of the old playlists than I am simply starting over with new ones (it was time for a redo anyways).
    Media Source itself works fine in all other apsects. It can read files, play music, and interact with my Creative Zen Xtra device. But it's all useless if I can't make playlists for use on the PC and transfer to the Zen.
    Anyone have any ideas? I just want to be able to use my stuff again.

    Re: Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corruptn Wasn't aware that it was possible, and haven't seen anything that tells how it could be done. Typically I make my playlists in Creative Media Center, in Organizer mode. As I'm pawing through the archi've and want to add a specific track to a playlist, I? right-click>add to playlist, select the playlist from the drop-down, and move on.
    After deleting the old corrupted playlist files, and starting over from scratch, here is what happens:? I attempt to add a track to a playlist...no playlists exist, so I create one on the spot. Upon submitting the info, CMS crashes. ? I reopen CMS, now the PC Music Library is corrupted again, the backup is corrupted, and no playlists exist, etc. At that point, I can delete the playlist files again, and start the process over again (resulting in the same: CMS crashes and I have corrupted playlists.)

  • Creative Media Source 5 and Zen

    I own the Zen VW and use the Creative Media Source 5. The problem I find is when I try to transfer songs to the Zen. I am trying to copy my smart playlist of fi've star tracks over. On the pc it has over 000 tracks, but only 550 or so end up on my Zen, what can I do to make sure all the tracks transfer over?

    What I have to do to make sure that every song gets transfered over, is to copy them in sets of 50 at a time. But with each set of 50, I dont get every song on the Zen, I have to delete how ever man of the 50 came over, and transfer the set of 50 again, the second time, every of the 50 songs transfers over. This is a pain when I have a play list of 000 songs. I have tried the whole list of 000 songs in one transfer, and I only get about half, and with a second transfer, I dont get much more.
    What can fix this problem?

  • Creative Media Source Player not fo

    Hi... I am lost & confused!!!! I purchased a new hard dri've & motherboard. I reinstalled my audigy 2zs card & loaded the install disk. To my suprise media player did not load...in fact I can't even find it on the original install disk!! I used the media player all the time and even plugged in my old hard dri've and behold..media player was on that hard dri've!! Can anybody tell me why it is not appearing on the original install disk whenin fact it was there when I loaded it the first time I purchased the card? It appears everything else will load off the install disk EXCEPT media source player.

    There are differences in the details of how the various Creative soundcards work, and it would help me if I knew which one you have. I get the impression it came in the computer, and you don't actually know the answer. Where exactly are you trying to select what u hear? The Creative Media Source Player program (I've not used it, but it seems odd for a "player" program to do recording)? The mixer program? Which mixer, Windows or Creative's?

  • 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.

  • Creative Media Source takeover attem

    I have a Zen V Plus, use Windows XP, and have Creative Media Source and Windows Media Player on my desktop. I use Winpatrol to monitor my startup activities, and lately it has been popping up a msg that says Creative is trying to become the default .MP3 file association. I use Media Player for managing my music and audiobooks. I keep telling Winpatrol to not allow the change, but I would like to know how to get the attempts to stop. The wonderful folks at Creative customer support? have told me that my free period has ended, but they would be happy to take my money and attempt to give me an answer. They are not going to get any.

    Yes I realize that--I'm thinking more specifically that CMS5 doesn't play well with SP3? The problem with your solution is that I don't like WMP. At least, I don't like the fact that you can't play your music straight from your device. You have to sync your device and copy all of your music onto your hard dri've to play from the device connected to the computer. That was mainly what I used CMS5 for--playing music directly from my device through the computer?without having to copy all of its contents onto my hard dri've. I keep my music stored on my Zen Microphoto so it doesn't take up space on my computer...
    I would Google the errors & see what comes up.. I'm fairly certain that Sp3 probably included WMP with it so that may be the source of the conflict if you installed it. Since it was a reinstall I don't know if you'll be able to install WMP0 instead.You could try that & see if that hel
    ps.
    If you don't have backup copies of your music(cd or external dri've)you should do so. If the player's hardri've ever fails for whatever reason at least you will have an archi've & not lose all your files.

  • Creative Media Source Probl

    Hi, i figured this should go in here.
    Everytime i try to run creative media source i get the "Creative MediaSource Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." error message and it just wont open. The error i get says it has something to do with the file "C:\DOCUME~\BARRYT~\LOCALS~\Temp\WER687.tmp.dir00\ appcompat.txt" but i am sceptical as to how much this file actually has to do with anything. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as how to fix this.
    Also if it is unfixable, is there anyway to back up my music library so i can reinstall creative media course without having to re-add all my MP3's (i keep them on various locations on my PC you see, i also fear if i reinstall, ill have to tag all my files via mediasource again)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Delete every files and folders under "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\MediaSource" and try launching MediaSource again.

  • Creative Media Source record volume level slider doesn't w

    I had an older version of Creative Media Source and a installed the latest version off the website to try to fix the problem, but the same thing occurs in the current version. I want to record, but the slider is grayed out and when I try to use it, the whole media source window moves, not the slider. It's stuck on zero. My sound card drivers are installed and working correctly. I can play music and adjust the playback volume. The record volume used to work. I don't know why it stopped.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Russ
