How to disconnect CREATIVE Zen

Hi everyone...
Just a question...
When I disconnect my player from the PC after Sync, Did I have to follow particular procedures (Like Disconnect button in iTunes for the iPod) or I only have to Unplug the Device?

Close the ZEN Media Explorer and unplug your device.

Creative Zen Firmware overd

Its been almost 8 months since the latest firmware upgrade. Is there plans on a new upgrade before the end of the year :smileyindifferent:

This have to be; by my opinion, the shortest 'end of life' item ever made by Creative based on item release date and possibly the last firmware upgrade with the timeframe of less than 6 months since its release back in September 2007. Its nothing against Creative but at least give us something we can be happy with besides the Zen X-Fi and the Zen go down the toilet because if I can say, if there was never a Creative Zen Flash-based player, there would never be a such product as the Zen X-Fi. I understand the Zen X-Fi is a successor to the Zen but with the sales of the Creative Zen most likely tripling since its release and its World Record 32GB model says its name that Creative is the company that made the first 32GB Flash-based player. A ton of stores in and around Baltimore,MD are selling out of the Creative Zen? and one popular website? Newegg? have all of its 4GB models in stock on backordered because they were bought so quickly. Not to be harsh but just or 2 more firmware upgrades before it can be considered 'end of life' would be appreciated then Creative can be really proud of how big the Creative Zen have went so far in just 3 months and probably assume the name of "Best Flash-based player ever made."

Creative Zen Disconnects Automatical

Hi, first time poster.
I've done a quick search and can't seem to find this exact problem, apologies if it has already been posted.
I received my Creative Zen 6gb the other day, and it kept disconnecting automatically from my PC. I have tried alternati've usb cables, and different PCs, as I saw some people already suggest, to no avail. The time it takes to disconnect seems to be very random, is it something to do with it being fully charged?
I hoooked it up to my Xbox 360 (via USB) to listen to it while playing, and the same disconnection problem happened. I haven'tdone anything to the players firmware yet, as I wasn't sure how to, and whether it would be neccessary.
Can anyone help?
thanks

Could be an intermittent fault in the connection between the USB cable and the Zen, or between the USB cable and the Xbox/PC, or the Zen's USB plug and its mainboard. First, try a new USB cable. If the problem goes away it was a duff cable. If the problem remains then there's a problem on the Zen end of things.

Creative Zen 8 gig - How do I play all videos at one time and skip to next vid

I was able to do this with the Creative Zen V plus 2 gig, why can't I with the large and more expensi've one?
THanks,
John

I have the same question as the original poster.
I am loading the zen with music video files only (wma) and would like to have the same playback options as mp3s.
I understand video file dont have "tags" like mp3s used to facilitate searcing for tracks eg. artist,album etc and i wonder if this could be a problem.
The question is...How do i get the player to play a list (or folder contents)) of video files either randomely or consecuti'vely without having to do it manualy for each and every video ie set up a playlist. Or is this not possible
Thanks

Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

Creative Zen Vision 30GB - How to set IR Remote ON with Navigation keys not working in the play

I have Creative Zen Vision 30GB player. Within a month of buying, its navigation keys stopped working. I took it to the customer service of store where I bought it and they fixed it (their solution was to make firmware update, even though I do not understand how come that can fix this issue). Anyways after another 5 months of not so often use, the same problem returned (key pad stopped working and without it this player is useless). I sent it to Creative and they returned it saying that as it has few scratches on the edges, they believe it has been hit. I never dropped the player and these are normal scratches at the end if you do not use any skin (which I could never find for this player). Btw from my other friend's experiences, Creative always does like this, never considered warranty (so beware!). Anyways now the problem is that I have IR remote for Zen vision but it can not work till IR Remote setting in System->Player Settings is switched ON. And this can not be done as the navigation keys are not working. So please please suggest me some other way if anybody of you know to enable this setting through software. Otherwise this costly player is just a 30GB harddisk for me

Creative Zen 32GB - how do I remove blank FM presets???

How do I remove blank presets from the FM list? I have about 20 stations set up as presets but the other 2 blank ones are still there. Delete doesn't delete them. All delete does is to erase the station from a preset that has a station programmed into it. I want them GONE so that when I sequence through the station presets I don't have to go through the 2 blank ones to get to the next good one. If this is not possible, holy cow, what an oversight on the part of the programmers! Please tell me this can be done!
This is for a Creative Zen 32GB. Not a Zen V or a Zen XFi. Just a Zen. Just a plain Zen.
Thank you.

Wow. That's very odd indeed. Seems pretty logical to be able to do that. There's no way I could program in 32 stations and I li've in a major radio market. There are not 32 stations I'd ever be interested in listening to around here and I don't even think there are that many even on the air. Again, since that's software related, please put that in a firmware update.

I just reset my computer How do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer aga

Hi, I just had to reset my computer and i lost all my music... how do i get the music from my Creative Zen Touch onto my computer so i can listen to music again on my computer?

itsVASH,
Basically you do the reverse of how you got it onto the player to begin with. You will open up mediasource, select the Zen Touch in the left hand source window, select PC Music Library on the right hand side. Select your songs and press the arrow pointing to the right.

How do I import music and picture files from my Creative Zen?

I have a Creative Zen media player, which uses Windows Media Player to operate. I have downloaded media player for Mac OS X, but cannot figure out how to import my music. On my old PC, when I plugged in my mp3 player, it automatically was recognized. Nothing happens when I plug it in to my iMac. What do I need to do?

I have bought a couple of Creative MuVo's for loved ones, and they, as removable USB thumb drives, work well with any OS. The Zen, on the other hand, doesn't have the design simplicity of the MuVo, which is why I didn't buy one. I think that they will pretty much only work with Windows.
One thing is for sure: If you plug in the Zen and it doesn't mount on the Desktop or in a Finder window, it isn't going to work with OS X--yet, at the same time, might possibly get corrupted or damaged when it fails to mount correctly and then you unplug it
P.S. Windows Media Player 7.1 for Mac does not have any support for portable players, and given the availability of Microsoft's free Flip4Mac plugin, is truly a worthless download. If this program has been installed, it would probably be best to delete it (and its preference files for that matter) to avoid potential conflicts with the up-to-date Flip4Mac plugin, which I assume you're going to install. Keep in mind that this plugin has nothing to do with adding support for portable players, but since we're on the subject of Windows Media Player, I thought it in good judgment to mention this.

How to save video to play on Creative Zen Vision M

My (PC using) friend just bought a Creative Zen Vision M (the competitor to the video iPod). It will play MPEG1, 2, and 4SP and will play MPEG's created in an older version of iMovie (I forget which, it's been a few years). For some reason, the MPEG4 version created by iMovie HD6 is not compatible with the Zen player.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to export from iMovie HD 6 in a format that can be used by the Creative Zen Vision M?
Thanks.

>Hi,
Sorry about your ZEN Vision:M. From what you mentioned, I don't think the data is recoverable under normal means. You probably might want to take it to a technician? or someone who is familar with electronics to see if they can remove the harddisk from the ZEN Vision:M and recover the data.

How to transfer files from Creative Zen Touch to Creative Vision:

Is there a way to transfer my music files from my Creative Zen Touch to my Vision:M?If so, can someone tell me how to do this. ?I know this has probably been asked before but I am new on this message board and am in need of assistance. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you have both the player and you're using MediaSource, just connect both the player to the computer, select one of the player as source and the other as destination and just transfer over it. Note, protected content will not be transfer over though.

Creative Zen - how to order playlis

I just got the new creative zen but I can't figure out how to order the playlists. When I create a new one, it orders it alphabetically. In media explorer, if I drag/drop it to a new place, it doesn't fall into the new position, it adds all the songs from that playlist to the one I just dropped it on. It never "fits" in between the other playlists.

"Because wma files take less space than mp3 files. "
That is a myth. For lower bitratrate files, such as 6 kbps or 32 kbps, WMA files will sound a bit better than mp3 files at the same bitrate. Files at such low bitrates are typically lectures and podcasts, and not music. Music files are usually 28 kbps and up. At
those bitrates, there is little quality difference between WMA and MP3 files at the same bitrate. WMA files do take more processor power to decode though, so expect shorter battery life when playing WMA files rather than mp3 files. Furthermore, recompressing files that are already compressed will result in lower sound quality. For example, if you have some mp3 files at 256 kbps and want them on your player at 60 kbps to save space, you should make the 60 kbps mp3 files from the CD, and not from the 256 kbps mp3 files if you want the 60 kbps mp3 files to be the best quality they can be.

How do I turn off image/picture from Creative Zen display?

:How do I turn off image/picture/cover art from Creative Zen display?
I wouldn't mind it, but it's almost ALWAYS wrong! Why is that? It seems to pick a random - and I mean random - album cover every time I upload songs. WHAT makes it decide this? I have dance collection cover pics turning up for rock songs!
If someone an help me solve this problem, I don't mind having the images show up.
Thanks!

>Hi,
The album art is usually associated with an album artwork and is supplied together with the music tracks. The player will not display it if there isn't one. You might want to make sure that the album art is linked correctly to the music track.

Creative Zen M 30GB, How do I select folde

I have a Creative Zen M 30GB and I cant seem to find a way to select folders.
The player lets me select music by albums, artists, genres... but It does not let me select the folders as they are on the mp3 player.
This reallly sucks becase I have music sorted and picked out, in seperate folders....
Any one know how I can select folder on this player or can it even do this?

I have the same question as the original poster.
I am loading the zen with music video files only (wma) and would like to have the same playback options as mp3s.
I understand video file dont have "tags" like mp3s used to facilitate searcing for tracks eg. artist,album etc and i wonder if this could be a problem.

How can I delete all my songs from my Creative Zen Micr

Hi,
I have one of the older pink creative zen micro's and I want to delete all of my songs from it as most of them are really old and I want to put some new ones on there. However, I have recently got a new computer so lost my installation of the zen micro and I cannot find the disc for it so I cannot install it.
The only way I can find to delete them all is delete them all indivually but this is going to take ages. Is there a faster way to do so?

reformat all.in the recovery menuremove battery while off, hold power switch in on position, insert battery. continue to hold power switch til the menu with 4 options comes up. one is reformat. do NOT select reload firmware by accident.
