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.

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.

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

Buying a creative ZEn Vision M Please help !

Hi there
I am debating on buying a creative zen Vision M after two years of i pod problems. My issue is can u convert the music from the i tunes libary to the player? or will u lose all that music
Thanks

--- If you have purchased the music from the iTunes Music Store, you will not be able to use the music on the player - iTMS music is iPod only.
There is a workaround (but it might not be legal, if you like to stay that way) - burn the music to a CD, then re-rip it in MP3 format using your favourite ripper. (iTunes will rip to MP3 - the option is under the 'Importing' tab on 'Advanced'.)
--- If your music is in AAC format, you can use a converter to change them into MP3. Be advised that this causes a major loss in quality - and if you own the CDs, you'll be better to re-rip them from scratch to ensure that they sound good.
You can do this conversion in iTunes - simply make sure that the format in the Advanced/Importing settings is set to MP3 (92kbps is fine for conversion). You can open the Settings window by clicking 'Preferences' in the Edit menu.
--- If your music is in MP3 format, you don't have to do anything! The ZV:M will play it nati'vely.Message Edited by Lokiz0r on 07--2006 09:8 AM

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!!

Help with the Zen Vision M Charg

I just got a multifunction cable and when i pluged my ZVM into my windows XP nothing happens. I have a Creative Media Source but my screen remains black. The woman on the help line says it takes up to 4-6 hrs before the player can work again if the battery is fully drained. Is this true. I have had it in now for almost more than 5 hrs( i un pluged it a couple of times and tried to turn it on) Has this ever happened to anyone else. What is wrong what can i do and is my player broken? Please help

If your battery drains completely, then I'm told recharging from the USB socket won't work (though others here have disputed that). Usually the ZVM takes anything up to 8 - 0 hours to charge fully, so my advice is leave it charging overnight. If it's still dead in the morning, get an AC adaptor and plug it into the wall, try again.
^I forgot to turn my Zen Micro off last night after I unplugged it from my car's stereo last night. It ran all night in my coat pocket and had the Low Battery warning when I looked at it in the morning.
I plugged it into a USB port, it started charging and now has 2 bars after being plugged in for a while. USB charging will work with a dead battery, though I don't recommend letting your battery run flat too often.
Normally I don't let it run down and keep the battery 'topped up' after each use.

Help With Creative Zen Vision M

Hello.
My iPod was one of the versions with the known issue of the battery frying out after a year (of course it happened about a month after my warranty expired) so I went out and bought a Creative Labs Zen Player. Now I don't appear to be able to import any of the songs or videos I purchased on iTunes, and I purchased a lot. Can anyone tell me how I can convert these files, or am I just out of luck?
Thanks
Marc

Go back to the main menu, and go to Videos>Video and pick a folder in there, press the dropdown menu button (The bottom right black button) ontop of that folder, and click protect. Go back to the Player settings menu (The one you went to before) and tap the touchpad on Protected content : Show, it should say Hide instead of show. Your folder is protected.

Nothing. i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below." and it already has two diffrent paths located in the entry box and i have tried them both and it keeps giving me the same message as i posted above. i am so lost and it dont help that i dont really know a whole lot about computers. i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
