I need ZEN Nomad jukebox software PLEASE

I bought a 40 Gb zen nomad jukebox from a friend pre-loaded now I want to add music and I don't have the software and neither does he. Someone please help me!

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox: Won't charge after sitting

    My daughters 30G Zen Nomad Jukebox Xtra sat, with the battery in, for about 3 months after she lost it due to low school grades.
    After she got her grades back up, I gave it back to her, and it won't charge at all now.
    ?The charger itself is fine (I checked the 5V with a multimeter), and the unit was charged and working when I took it from her 3 months ago, which is why I don't understand it. I did try the reset button with a paperclip. but it didn't help.
    When it's plugged into the charger, there's absolutly nothing on the screen indicating that its charging at all, when there should be an indicator light on it. HELP!!!!!!Shawn

    Well, tech support got back to me with the following instructions, that didn't help me at all, but I'm hoping it will help someone else, so I'm pasting it here.
    For my problem though, I still don't understand how a working player gets put into a desk drawer, and 3 months later, it comes out and won't turn on, even with the power adapter in and the battery out.
    Maybe its a magic desk.
    Any ideas.......anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
    Shawn
    :::::::::::The following is pasted from tech supports email to me:::::::::::
    With regards to your enquiries, I understand that you are having issues
    charging the Zen Xtra battery.
    May I know if you feel any warmth on the power adaptor while charging
    the battery for 5-30 mins?
    Please try the following:
    - Remove the battery from the player.
    - Power on the DC input connecting to the player. Power on the player
    without the battery in the player for 2 hours.
    - After 2 hours, place battery into the player (Check if it is charging)
    - If it is still unable to charge, remove the battery and place battery
    into the player again.
    - Repeat the following steps for at least 2 times.
    - If the charging indicator appears, charge the battery for 4 hours.
    Shall the issue persists, please test the player unit with another
    battery. Perharps your friends have a player of the same model? This is
    to determine if the issue is with the player or the battery.

  • Creative Zen Nomad Jukebox. Docking Station/Speake

    Hi all. I have a Creative Zen Nomad Jukebox 30GB.
    I bought it brand new a couple of years ago, but never really used it. I would like to know, if you can get a docking station/speakers that I can plug into it, so I can revi've this bit of kit. Many thanks in advance.

    In that sort of price bracket, check out these sets (with subwoofers):

  • Tips on changing from Zen Nomad Jukebox Extra to Zen V Plu

    My new Zen V Plus is on its way to me. I am looking for any tips or advice on changing over from the Zen Nomad Jukebox. For instance, is it the same Mediasource program (I have ver. 2.03.29 now)? Will my songs and playlist be able to go over to the new device seamlessly? Ideally I'd like to connect both devices to my PC and then use Mediasource to transfer from the Jukebox to the V Plus, possible? Thanks in advance for any help.........

    Scheidhaus: I would hope that the aircraft isn't interfering with the player, and I honestly can't imagine it would. I have heard of one case before with a Nomad Jukebox that failed to work when the player was at altitude, along with another recent post here about this. All I can think is that the air pressure on the plane is a factor and is causing problems with the hard disk. Very strange though.
    Have you simply tried resetting the player when you have problems? You'll need to keep a paper clip with you for this, or borrow one from the cabin crew

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox NX hangs up during EAX load

    My Zen Nomad Jukebox NX hangs up during the loading of the EAX screen. I've looked trhough similar problems and solutions on this page without finding any aduquate solution proposal.
    I've tried doing the following:
    entered the rescue mode and tried to "clean up", when i do this nothing happens and i may contiue selecting the clean up option or select another. It doesn't seem to affect the player at all.
    I've also tried to select both "reload OS" and "Format all", both times the player gives a error message, "harddisk problem".
    Since the computer is unable to detect the semmingly not functionable player I can't find access my player.
    Solution?

    A "hard disk problem" error is a serious one, and clearly indicates something awry with the hard disk. You can try the advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net at your OWN RISK. If you don't want to try this or are under warranty then contact Creative Support.
    If you aren't under warranty you can contact Creative Support to see if they will repair it. If you want to try repairing it yourself, taking the risk the hard disk is at fault, then you can follow Rudi Cheow's excellent guide. There's also a thread here at the Zen Nomadness.net forum on compatible dri'ves, and the last page of Rudi's guide also has information on this.

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox Extra- Player stops working on airpl

    OK this is weird but recently I noticed my Nomad Jukebox Extra won't work on airplanes in flight. It starts working early on but about 3 or 4 songs into the flight and it starts sketching. It jumps around on a point in the song and then quits playing the song. If I hit play the arrow appears but the timer doesn't advance- stays at 00:00. I reset the player and it doesn't help. Then if I try more I get the repair/reload OS/reboot screen. Now to make it more complicated when I land and the engines stop the player plays fine.
    My thoughts : Recently I upgraded the OS to the latest version. I wonder if there could be interference from the engines or if my headphones which have a volume control are acting like an antenna and intereferring with the play. I haven't tried different headphones or seeing if the song still freezes with no phones.

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox 3 questi

    I no longer have the install cds and I am trying to install an old Zen Jukebox 3... any suggestions, advice?I have the computer finding it, but I can't locate it to transfer from or to. In the device controller, there are two USB ports on this old computer, one holds a mouse, the other holds the Jukebox. It has a listing that shows three USB ports... one unused, one with Human Interface (the mouse), and one with unknown. When I double click on the unknown, assuming it's the Jukebox, it says the device is working properly and no drivers were installed. When I look further and ask to see hidden devices I find the Jukebox, it says that the software it has is the best it can suggest. HELP!?!?thanks,?Ot

    I don't see any mention of this in your post, but did you download any files from the website? If you select the product on the Downloads page, it will show a page that says the product is a legacy device, but if you click on "Search archi'ves now" you will see the files that are available for it.
    You can download a driver for the player, and software (MediaSource and the plug-in).

  • Need the Nomad Jukebox Expert He

    I Have just put a new hard dri've in my zen xtra,got the songs put on,everything was fine,but now my pc wont recognize my player,and when i play a song it has no info on the screen but the music plays anyways.any help would be appericiated.thanks in advance

    Thank you for replying but I've tried every combination of driver and firmware available on this site, using firewire and USB connections, on 3 different computers. Via firewire the error message is "An application is interfering with the flash program...". Via USB the errors vary but?with older firmware it's "Your player cannot startup properly" or with later firmware it's "You cannot use this firmware upgrade with your player" . One combination of driver and firmware actually led to the ability to press an upgrade button but after the progress bar completed it said "Failure". If I start with the latest driver and then run the latest firmware, and I'm using firewire, the firmware installer says the existing driver must be replaced, which it starts to do and then BSOD's (same behavior on 3 dif PCs). After a reboot the same firmware installer reverts to the familiar "An application is interfering with the flash program." Maybe the BSOD prevented a clean install of whatever special 394 driver the firmware installer was attempting to install but I can't tell.
    The JB3 worked fine with the first PC before I attempted to upgrade the existing firmware. The latest firmware upgrade wouldn't work so I figured I needed to use the recovery mode's option to erase the OS before it would accept the new firmware. That was a fatal assumption, though if this particular hardware rev was not intended to be upgraded Creative should publish that info rather than give people the ability to brick their JB3. At this point it's in permanent recovery mode, though with some drivers it will display the icons indicating it's linked to the PC.
    These forums contain experiences similar to mine and the one published solution was to use the original v.0000 driver so I think I'm at that same point.

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox X

    Hi
    Had my jukebox for about 6 months now and all was well until yesterday! I had just copied some photos to the Zen for the first time (Loads of spare space still remained). After this, all the buttons froze. I can only switch it off by removing the battery. After reinserting the battery and switching back on, it tells me that it is rebuilding the library. It does then and then gets to the main menu but all the buttons are frozen out again. I have tried using a direct power feed but to no avail. I have also used the reset button, again unsucessfully. I have tried the USB connector and although my laptop does think about it - it tells me that the player is not connected. I am stuck with nowhere to go. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions? All gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Phil

    Phil,

  • Need original Nomad Jukebox 3 v1.0.0.0 driver

    I foolishly?erased the OS on my Jukebox 3 and now cannot load any firmware into it. When I try to install firmware v ..07 I get "Your player cannot startup properly". When I try any subsequent releases I get "You cannot use this firmware upgrade' (but the NJv3's display shows a connection to the PC). I read a post here that recommends starting with driver v.0.0.0 that came on the original CD and then loading the oldest firmware. Can anyone provide me the required original v.0.0.0 driver?

  • Frozen Zen Nomad Jukebox X

    Please please help - previous requests for help have so far gone unanswered.
    Everytime I switch the unit on it goes straight into re-building the library. It completes this after a minute or so and then presents the main menu. At this point the unit is frozen and will not respnd to any of the buttons being pressed. I have tried the reset but it always goes back into the rebuilding library mode then frozen and so on. I estimated that I have used about 20% of the available capacity. Please help as it really is frustrating.
    Many Thanks

  • Nomad Jukebox help please!!!

    I have a three part question, the first is once I transfer mp3s on my jukebox can I transfer them back? If so how? Second, how do I get my jukebox to play one track after another? I'm finding that it will play one track and stop I might have something wrong in my options. Third, what is the life of these rechargeable batteries? I might have had a 20-30 min charge and then it went out on me.

    . Yes, using the reverse procedure in PlayCentre/MediaSource.
    2. The play mode is probably set to single track. Read the manual about play modes.
    3. Depends on the capacity of the batteries. Good capacity batteries 800+mAh should last 4 hours or so playing average MP3s. If you play WAVs, do a lot of copying etc. the battery life will drop dramatically.

  • Zen Nomad Jukebox Prob

    I've had my player for a few months now and everything's been great. i'm loving it!.
    I normally make sure the battery is completely flat before recharging it so as to try and make it last longer.
    I recharged it as per normal and for some reason it needed to rebuild the library. (i'm assuming because the battery ran flat midway through a song) but it couldn't finish rebuilding it came up with the 'firmware problem' error.
    So i accessed the recovery mode menu, i did a disk cleanup, i even reformated it to no avail.
    So i downloaded the latest firmware to install it, but my laptop says that the player is not connected, my other PC says the same thing, and the firmware driver tells me to connect the player and restart the program....
    So i can't install the new firmware to get it going again.
    I need to fix this quickly, i got this mp3 player for an upcoming trip!
    help!

    This is not necessary with Lithium Ion, and in fact it's better for the overall life of the battery to top it up rather than deep cycle it.

  • Should I install "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSourc

    I have the Play For Sure firmware on my Zen Touch, now I'm going to first install the driver on my computer, then install the creative media source, then the play for sure software suite, and then the media source CD plugin. Should I also install the Zen & Nomad Jukebox plugin afterward or that's only for ppl who haven't upgraded the firmware?
    Thanks!

    The "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource" is for those who have the non-PlaysForSure firmware. So, you do not need to install it.

  • Nomad Jukebox 2

    I am new to the forums so I am sorry if I do something wrong or make a stupid question but I have a nomad jukebox 2 with a 0gb hard dri've in it. I want to be able to use it as an external hard dri've because I have a CD player for my truck that allows me to attach an external hard dri've via USB and play the music directly from the device and the cd player can scroll through the hard dri've for the music I am looking for. Is there any way to turn the nomad into something like this? Thanks again for your help.

    Hello Will, Nomad Jukebox 2 is very old product (but I still like it). Its USB port does not support as external HDD (eg. as external Flash disk). This USB port on Nomad Jukebox 2 can be connected with PC only for download or upload songs, playlists, etc. Nomad Jukebox 2 communicate only with Creative SW (CMS_PCAPP_LB_2_03_29.exe) and only via special installed Creative USB driver (nmdrv_us.exe). Maybe it can function with some other music players eg. WMP or Winamp, I am not sure.
    If you do not need your Nomad Jukebox 2, you can send me it, because in my Nomad Jukebox 2 failed electronic board and I have 6GB HDD full with my favorite songs without backup. I would like to listen them and I cannot. Thank you for your understanding. Tomas
