I Need Help With My Zen Vision M 30GB Player ASAP

Tonight i had started deleting of my music folders on my creative zen vision m 30gb player and as it was doing that i accidently disconnected the usb cable from the player. After that the player was froze on the docking mode and i hit the reset button with a paper clip. Then after that for some strange reason my computer does not detect my zen vision m player as being connected to the computer. the docked screen appears on my player but the arrows keep spinning and my pc keeps saying found new hardware mtp device and does nothing but repeat that over and over again. I run windows xp pro service pack 2 with windows media player installed. I really need help asap to resolve this issue and have my pc reconize it normal again where i can access my music folders and playlists again.

The core problem is related to Microsoft Windows Media . To resolve the issue, you need to uninstall MWM v from the Add/Remove Programs. Then it will rollback to MWM v9. Unplug the player from the USB port. Reinstall the supplied software from Creative if you need too. Reboot, plug the device into the USB port. Reinstall the device driver for the MP3 player. Reload the latest firmware. The file can be downloaded at

I need help with my Zen Vision M.. PLEASE HELP

Hey, I'm having sooo much trouble with my Zen Vision M... so i was wondering if anyone could help me out.. i hav a couple of ?s that i desperately need answered. . All of my album art is the same and its driving me crazy. How do i change the album art?2. Is the battery in the Vision M removable?3. Can Zen Vision M shuffle songs?4. I used to have an Ipod.. i was wondering if?i could directly transfer songs from itunes to Zen MediaSource?~~~~~~~~~?Any help will be really helpful! Especially if?someone can help me with the album art!! THANKS GUYS!!

. All of my album art is the same and its driving me crazy. How do i change the album art???Not an easy answer for this one without knowing more about how you are setting the album art.
There are two types of album art embedding.
One is where the album art is embedded directly in the tags of every Mp3 file. (a bit waste of space)? The second option (which is the more common method) is where each file has embeded information pointing to an external image for the album art. This is more efficient on space, and is often the one that end up with people having the same art on every song.
Usually what happens is people put the songs in a common directory and not in subdirectories such as Artist/Album/mysong.mp3. With all the files in one flat directory often the album art (depending on software) gets saved with the same filename such at album.jpg.
And he album.jpg file gets overwritten, and since all the songs think "their" album art is in the album.jpg file they all end up with the same art being displayed.
Easiest solution is to copy the files into folders to organize them by album, and then reapply the album art.
Since doing that on my ZVM I haven't had any problems with art getting lost or duplicated in ways I did not want. ?2. Is the battery in the Vision M removable???Unfortunatly it isn't.
?3. Can Zen Vision M shuffle songs???There are several random play options for music.
In my opinion doesn't really feal that "random" though. 4. I used to have an Ipod.. i was wondering if?i could directly transfer songs from itunes to Zen MediaSource??You will need to export them to MP3 from itunes. Checkout the Creative KB on how to do it. Its solution ID 4653.

Need help with Creative Zen: Vision M 60 gig vers

I have?a somewhat?complicated problem. I went to the store set on buying the largest possible storage space, that was not an Ipod. The salesman told me that the 60 gig version was not available at all where I li've (Norway). I believed him and, somewhat disappointed,?bought the 30 gig version instead (It didn't have enough?space for everything I intended to put on it). I went home, installed the program, inserted the player?and everything worked fine. It recharged normally, the media explorer could locate the player and I could transfer files back and forth. Then I went to my buddy's place, whose?50 gig, perfectly organized?music collection was my main reason for buying this thing. I wanted to copy his whole collection, but since I only had a measly 30 gigs, I only copied what I viewed as most essential. I was reasonably happy with my purchase. Imagine my surprise then when I browsed the Creative homepage and saw that you could have the 60 gig?Vision M shipped to Norway for only a meager increase in cost over what I had paid at the store. I cursed the?sleazy?swindler of a salesman, who?was probably trying to empty?his stocks,?and promptly went back to the store and traded in my 30gig for an imported 60gig?(I didn't have the balls to denounce the salesman, unfortunately). I received?my new gadget?a few days later. I was a little curious about whether my already installed Media Explorer would work with the new player, but it seemed to work fine without having to reinstall the program included in the new package. Not so on my buddy's computer. When I inserted the player in his USB dri've, the computer recognized it's(a notice popped up asking me what to do next time the player was inserted) but the Media Explorer did not. "Your player is not connected". Ah well. I brought out the CD and reinstalled the Media Explorer. Still nothing. I reinstalled everything that was on the CD. Nope, still can't find it. What?to do? I want that?music!!

Need Help with my ZEN MX

Need Help with my ZEN MX9<font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans">Hi folks. On my computer I have about 9G of different music, or 52 albums. I can't figure out how to get that music on to the player. To correct myself, I mean I know how to physically/logically copy it over to my player. All of that music is also?on the player in "Music" folder. I have this "Creative Centrale" installed and working. I need step-by-step instructions on how to create a PLAYLIST (I'm guessing), and have the?player play song after song in an album, not randomize the play. I think that is why I created that playlist. Thank You folks For Your Help?
<font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans" size="3"><font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans" size="3">?

I guess you have a problem with the inability of mx to play folders. i have used folders as playlists since i got my first computer since i just want to throw the folder with the files over to another media for playing. Not to be able to play tis is truly annoying.

Zen Vision:M 30GB Player Prob

The problem is that my Zen Vision:M 30GB Player is stuck in recovery mode. I turned it on the other day with no previous problems, and now it only goes to recovery mode. The player is detected when I plug it in, but it does not leave recovery mode.
I have tried:
) Cleaning Up
2) Formatting
3) Rebooting many times
4) Reloading firmware
All to no avail. When I try to reload the firmware on my computer by using the MP3 Player recovery tool it says "Upgrade Failed" at the end. I even tried downloading the firmware and upgrading it manually, but it only ended in the same outcome.
My firmware is v.62.02_0.0.23?
Any help is much appreciated.

As said above you can not move mp3 files between folders, which I also find very annoying, along with not being able to rename files or albums on the player itself. Hopefully Creative makes these minor modifications for the benefit of future purchasers, other than that the player is great.

Accessories that come as standard with the Zen Vision: M 30gb.

Hi,?This may be a silly question, but do headphones come as standard with the Zen Vision: M? The only reason I ask is because I know it isn't standard to get?a charger. Also, there is an option to buy an accessories pack which has a charger but also has earphones. It is possible that these earphones are just better than the ones included but I thought it better to ask the silly question before I buy ?Thanks

Need help with using Zen V Plus in a

I have a Zen V plus 2GB and I'd like to use it in my car with a FM transmitter/charger combination. The one I bought says it works with Creative zen MP3 players, but will not charge the player even though it has a USB with 5 VDC as output. It does play the player through the FM reciever just fine. I also noticed that I can only charge the player through the very same USB port on my computer where I first connected it when I was setting it up. Any other of the USB ports will not charge the player. Does this have something to do with this problem?

Hello al9spike,
Welcome to Creative forums!
I'm not sure when you said "reset and play while plugged in" is the same as resetting the device by inserting a paper clip in the reset hole while plugged in. If not, then you can try this. There is a also a similar thread here with the same problem your experiencing right now. Maybe this could help you. Otherwise, if the unit is still not turning on, I suggest you contact support for further assistance.
Best of luck,

Can anyone please clarify?

Zen Vision M: 30GB//Player gets stuck @ "ZEN vision M" lo

Alright, this player loads, but it freezes at the "ZEN Vision M" logo (as I said in the subject). I tried formatting it, and all those other options on the boot menu, except for updating the firmware (I can't, since I do not own Windows Media Center anymore). The warranty is past it's date, and I am not sure what else to do. Any suggestions, because I do not feel like going out and buying a new one. I'd like to send it somewhere to get it fixed but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to do that.

Need help with my Zen Touch. I have no clue what's wro

I downloaded some firmware a few weeks ago, and ever since then my Zen Touch hasn't been working properly. My current is version .0.03. As soon as I downloaded that my computer would not detect the player. When I plugged it in the USB I got three quick low pitched beeps, and then nothing. Since the player isn't connectng to my computer of course I can't transfer any music. I've tried to get it to connect a million times but it's always the same. I evn tried it on another computer so I'm guessing something's wrong with the player itself.
Can anyone hel me please?Message Edited by Shart780 on 02-4-2006 08:09 AM

because they are needed to detect your player, that is!
just try it out, you'll do no harm by doing so
