HOW THE **** do I get Creative mediasource organizer to work decentl

Tell me, where is the 'organization' in this program? This is the most unorganized peice of **** I've ever seen!
While trying to add a bunch of files, you end up getting them added via song , song 2, etc... so instead of them being in order via albums, it's just a bunch of random songs, each being song ... And them we can mention the fact that, 90% of time, when you try to add files the stupid program can't seem to figure out who the artist, genre, and song number it is, so you must manually enter this for hundreds of songs...
Then, you finally add these songs, only to get... A jumbled collection, that ISN'T from to the final song.
Is there another program that I can use to upload to my Xtra then this POS?

Newsboys2004: MediaSource as a program isn't bad, in fact it's quite good, just a little hard to understand perha
ps.
It isn't entirely clear to me what you are doing with the files as you don't give much detail. Are you trying to add the files into the PC Music Library, or are you copying them to the player?
To copy files to the player you don't *have* to copy them into the PC Music Library first, you can go straight from copying from My Computer to the player itself.
If you're after a quick guide on how-to-copy refer to this post.Message Edited by SSR on 04-28-2005 04:43 AM

  • Creative Mediasource Organizer Losing Year T

    I use Windows XP, Creative Mediasource Organizer version 3.30.35 and my player is a Zen MicroPhoto 8G. I have over 4000 MP3 files organized with id tags in Creative Mediasource Organizer. These are almost exclusivly?MP3 files that I recorded myself. Of the 4000 files?there are only a handful, just?one album that could possibly find tag information?to pull from the internet. Yesterday,?more than?200 of my mp3 files?had blank?year tags. I entered the correct year in several dozen of these so that only about 65 had blank year tags. Then I closed the software and turned of my computer. Today I opened Creative Mediasource Organizer to work on filling in those blank year tags. There were over 400 blank year tags today. What is happening? I have PC Music Library open. I select a single file, right click, click properties, click tag information, enter the year in the year field, click OK. Then I right click and select "update tag" click "yes" to confirm that I want the changes to apply to the file itself and not just to the PC Media Library. Please, someone help me understand why?the number of blank year tags is growing instead of shrinking? What can I do to retain the information I enter in these tags?

    YESTERDAY:?Monday March 2, 2007:?I edited my media library from within Creative MediaSource so that there are no files without a valid year in the year tag. For?each MP3 file the other standard tags also contain meaningful data. These are?title, artist, album and?genre,?but not track. I don't see any practical way to use the track field for some of these files, so not all of them have a track number. The files I want in my media library are all the MP3 and WMA files within C:/MP3 and it's subfolders. The properties of C:/MP3 as viewed from "My Computer" are 3922 files and 249 folders. About a dozen are WMA files and one is a text file. All the others are MP3 files. The problem is that?there are quite a number of duplicate entries. And the Media Library is reporting several hundred more files within C:/MP3?than "My Computer" is reporting there.
    I used "Tools/Settings/PC Media Library/ Delete invalid entries" but it did NOT remove the duplicate entries. Exiting the program and opening it again did not correct the count either. So I selected ALL the files, right clicked, and selected "update tags." I clicked YES to update the tag data from the media library to the files. When that operation was completed, I deleted all the files from the library but not from the computer. And?now I am?importing all the files within C:/MP3?back into the library. It says "now transferring 859 of 3920 files." This is good! 3920 is very close to 3922 minus the one text file. I want to see if, when this transfer is finished, I will have the correct number of MP3 files in my media library, and I want to see if the tag data, including the year data, remains?intact after this transfer. The transfer is complete. I do have 3920 files in my media library now and the data in the id tags appears to be intact. Hopefully, this will still be the case when I open the software tomorrow. THE NEXT DAY:?Tuesday, March 3, 2007: Grrr! I now have 3950 files in my media library where it should be only 3920. I did not add anything ?or make any edits. Exactly 30 of these entries?have blank year fields. I'm thinking that Creative MediaSource is NOT?loosing the data in year tags as I first thought, rather it's ADDING entries that are identical to existing entries except that the year fields in the added entries are empty. I think that if I enter the correct year data, I will end up with 30 entries that are truly exact duplicates. I don't see a pattern or clue to tell me why these 30 and not the others ... they have different artists, different albums, genres and the data in the missing year fields was not all the same. In the track fields, a few are blank, but most of them have data. "Tools/Settings/PC Music Library/Clean up now" did not elimiinate these 30 extra entries. Looking at the properties of C:/MP3 from "My Computer" still shows 3922 files (one is a text file) ... From my experiments yesterday, I am pretty sure that I can delete these 30 extra entries and be left with valid entries for all my files. This is frustrating. I'm hoping that these observations will be helpful to a programmer working on the next version of Creative MediaSource. I would send these comments directly to them, but they don't seem to provide a way for me to do that.

  • 'Creative Mediasource Organizer' Folders and the ZEN V pla

    Using the Creative Mediasource Organizer, I've set up a few Folders on the 'Creative Zen V' player but when I undock the player and use it to find and play the songs, they're not organized by the Folders. In fact, I don't the folder 'structure' at all. Is there a way I can see and use my folder structure I've set up for the player? and, if not, then why does the Organizer enable me to set up folders?Thanks.

    Folders on the device are merely for your own convenience and organization. The device relies solely on ID TAGS on how it plays and displays the various tracks. You will need to get your tracks in order and edit the tags.

  • Creative Mediasource Organizer is missing a dll-f

    When I try to start my Creative Mediasource Organizer (CRM), I get an error saying "CTCMS.exe - the component wasn't found. This program couldn't start, becaus CTHml.dll wasn't found. It is possible, that the problem can be solved by reinstalling the program" (a bad translation from Danish - sorry (-: )I've tried reinstalling the program, but it didn't solve the problem. Has anyone got a solution?Best regardsMads

    IceMan,
    You can install the CDRW database update for the MediaSource. That should fix your problem. Go to the driver download page and do a search for this filename - CDBD_PCApp__00_05.exe

  • Creative MediaSource Organizer disapearing TRACK

    I just got my zen, and instaled and updated all of the software. its at V 3.30.35. So i am switching from itunes, so i go over and tell the CMO (Creative MediaSource Organizer) to import all the files in the itunes files, and use exsisting tags. they all import fine. But, when i close CMO with the X in the cornner, when i restart CMO, all my songs are nowaer to be found. they are all still in the itunes folder, and in none of the playlists of CMO. I was wondering what is wrong with it and how to fix. (all my audio files are associated with CMO)
    HELP?!

    I assume that you are saying that before you close MediaSource, you can see the tracks being listed in MediaSource's PC Music Library. After you close MediaSource and re-launch it, the PC Music Library is empty. Am I right?
    By the way, how did you import the tracks to MediaSource's PC Music Library? Did you click the Import button in the PC Music Library panel?

  • Creative MediaSource Organizer....Will it work with Zen 16GB

    I still have Creative MediaSource Organizer that I used when i had my Sleek Photo. I really liked using this program to edit the names/albums. Will this program also work with the ZEN 6GB? If not, what program do I use?

    Great! Thats what I thought it would be, they were probably covering themselves with the 'works best with' so no one could come back and say "My mp3 player won't play the movie files" you know what some people are like

  • Creative MediaSource Organizer w/ Zen Micro Probl

    Hey, i just recieved my refurbished Zen Micro from creative, and my Creative MediaSource Organizer wont wont.(It used to work on my old zen micro when i first got it, but then after a while, the organizer wont even open). So i uninstalled all creative programs i had, and reinstalled them using the Zen Micro Installation Disc. The computer can detect my Micro and i can put songs on through Zen Media Explorer. But it was much more convinent to use Organizer. Got any ideas? Thanks.
    p.s. when i click on MediaSource Organizer, it says it cannot find CTCMS.exe and before i re-installed it, i clicked the icon and nothing happened.

    Zen Xtra 30G
    I have the same problem. I have actualized my Zen Xtra with the firmware: 2.0.03 and the Creative Mediasource doesn't recognize the Zen Xtra since then.
    I have the latest mediasource ( 3.30.2 ), which requires windows xp sp2 (that I have).
    The compluter explorer does recognize it, but not the organizer, so it is awful trying to organize songs.
    Do I need another version of MediaSource?
    Can I organize songs with Windows Media Player? because it only recognizes it to sincronize, but not to change the name of the songs and so on.
    Help!!! Please!!
    Thanks

  • Slight Zen Micro/Creative MediaSource Organizer Prob

    i have a 5gb zen micro and when i plug it in to add songs, it says device not found when I double click on the Creative MediaSource Organizer...but when i go to My Computer...it says that it has found Zen Micro Media Explorer and all the cords are tight and everyting
    Could any one help me? espically SSR?
    Thanks
    p.s. this happened to me before and i uninstalled my Zen Micro Software and re-installed it and that fixed it, but i want to find another way to solve it besides un-installing then re-installing

    What do you mean by "it says device not found when I double click on the Creative MediaSource Organizer"? Do you see a Zen Micro node in the Sources panel?

    Strange that WMP doesn't detect it, presumably you have v0? Worth checking the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post and installing the hot fixes.
    Also make sure you have the latest software with MTP updates, by downloading and installing the following:
    . Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
    2. Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices
    3. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
    Before installing connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 and 3 (the player must be connected for to verify you have a Creative product).

    Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
    I got it working now!
    I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
    THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • How the consumption valuse gets updated in the table MVER

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me how the consumption value gets updated in the table?
    Would you please be able to confirm that all movement types are considered for updates in table MVER. If not, i would need the movement types that are considered as pertaining to u2018consumptionu2019.
    Thanks
    Srini

    Hi,
    Consumption both in material master view and table MVER are updated as soon as the movement is made, ie, real time data.
    To see the movements relevant to consumption, use OMJJ to review movement types or table T156. In this table, select Consumpt.postg. field not equal to blank (so blank is excluded).
    This should then show all movement types subject to consumption posting. The likely ones to see are below, with majority being G.
    (blank)     No consumption update
    G     Planned withdrawal (total consumption)
    R     Planned, if ref. to reservation, otherwise unplanned
    U     Unplanned withdrawal (unplanned consumption)
    Thanks.
