Install Media Source 5

Can't install Media Source 5 on Vista!
My Zen Touch with PlayForSure-Firmware is connected via USB to my PC and recognized by Vista (explorer and WMP ).
If I try to install Media Source 5 using CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38.exe I got "can't find product".
if I try to install the plugin for PlayForSure-Players for Media Source 5 I got "can't find Media Source 5"
-> no Media Source 5 without plugin - but also no plugin without Media Source 5.
What to do?

Have you installed the software below in order, if it's already recognized by Vista you should not have any problems. This worked for mine. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. . Creative ZENcast Organizer .04.06 Suite 2. Creative PlaysForSure Devices Plugin 5.00.36 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer 3. Creative CD Burner Plugin 5.0.3 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer 4. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38

Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

Hello Creative Users,
recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi everyone,
as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
properties.
Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
Now you should be ok and able to install.
Regards
Rolf

Media source 5 pr

Hi,I have been trying to re-install media source 5 but I get an error saying it is not a valid win32 program,had to re-install because previous version stopped working for some reason,I am using windows vista premium,anyone had similar probs and if so how can I get prog to intstall,thnx?

Yeah, I'm afraid it seems you are using Windows XP drivers.
That, or you have the 64bit version of Vista, and yet, trying to use a 32bit driver.
Its definietly one of them. Try downloading, if available the appropiate program for your Windows installation
I hope this helpsMessage Edited by flame on 09-09-2007:28 AM

Can't re-install media sou

I lost my nomad disk for my Jukebox 2LX and when I upgraded my windows I did a clean install. When I tried to find the original media source program (on the support webpage, only upgrades) I couldn't find it.... Is there a specialized link I have to follow or do I have to buy a replacement Nomad disk?

I am trying in the same order but, mediasource installation continues to fail at 47% with message "creative mediasource not found, please install your mediasource before running this setup program. setup will exit". I am inthe process of installing media source, so i do not know whats the logic behind this error message. After I reboot I could see media source organizer working but not the install for Nomad Jukebox Type 2 plugin. Did anybody face this error? It worked seemlesly in my laptop <IMG height=6 src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-sad.gif" width=6 border=0>....i would appreciate any help. thanks

Creative Media Source 5 Install Problems

(Creative Media Source 5 Install ProblemsM I've looked through some of the other install issues and can't seem to find my problem, but apologize if this is somewhere I did not find... I had installed and have been running CMS5 on my desktop for a while. Recently I had to reformat my hard dri've and reinstall Windows from scratch. Upon trying to install CMS5 on my Windows XP SP3 system, I got a bunch of errors basically saying something to the effect of "Installation is unable to continue because of one or more unresolved issues....."? Then it lists a file TagMgru.mft. After cancelling that error, they continue to come up for Id3Tagu.mft, WmaTagu.mft, OggTagu.mft, Mp4Tagu.mft. The error message comes up twice for each of the listed files, and then the installation does not complete. Any ideas? I was using an install file downloaded from Creative's [email protected]

Yes I realize that--I'm thinking more specifically that CMS5 doesn't play well with SP3? The problem with your solution is that I don't like WMP. At least, I don't like the fact that you can't play your music straight from your device. You have to sync your device and copy all of your music onto your hard dri've to play from the device connected to the computer. That was mainly what I used CMS5 for--playing music directly from my device through the computer?without having to copy all of its contents onto my hard dri've. I keep my music stored on my Zen Microphoto so it doesn't take up space on my computer...
I would Google the errors & see what comes up.. I'm fairly certain that Sp3 probably included WMP with it so that may be the source of the conflict if you installed it. Since it was a reinstall I don't know if you'll be able to install WMP0 instead.You could try that & see if that hel
ps.
If you don't have backup copies of your music(cd or external dri've)you should do so. If the player's hardri've ever fails for whatever reason at least you will have an archi've & not lose all your files.

Creative Media Source won't install

I just bought a Zen Microphoto and I was anxious to upload my songs on the forementioned player. However as I tried to install Creative MediaSource which I downloaded from this very site, I encountered a strange problem.
I clicked on the setup and my PC proceeded to extract the files, and when the setup screen loads up, there's a message saying "Looking for previously installed components" and there are two setup screens minimized to my taskbar (CMS web installer and Creative Media Source - Install Shield Wizard) Whenever I click either of them nothing will happen. I'm pretty confused about this.
I'm sure it's not my hardware because my PC is up to date and I never had problems of the likes. I browsed the forums for an answer and I've heard of a software conflict with quicktime, I followed the advices with no results. I'm pretty desperate right now and I can't wait to use my Zen MicroPhoto. Did anyone encounter a problem similar to this?

Hi MusicoftheNight-
I had a similar issue when downloading the PlayForSure software for my Zen Touch. What I ended up doing was something I found in another thread. Download the installer, then use Winzip or Winrar and make an archi've of it. Unzip or Unrar it to another folder and then go into each folder and run the setup icons individually.
This is the only thing that worked for me.
When I needed to update just Mediasource I installed it in safe mode.
My computer is up to date and everything as well but this is the only thing that worked. Good luck!

Thanks.

Creative media source and Live!

Does anybody knows what is list of selected cards that can use crossfading in Creative media source?
Why Li've! 5. cannot? Not even EAX?
Thanks in advance

If you have the newer 24-bit versions of the Li've cards then disregard the following.
Perhaps you've installed some of that updated modded stuff? (I've tried it at times too, but always returned to the official 252 driver/software Uni-Pack stuff.)
The software you've got is not designed for the Li've series of cards. If you used the official cd's for the Audigy 2 series (not ZS), it all works as long as you choose not to install EAX Console and Speaker Calibrator. You should also not install MediaSource Player, choosing instead the PlayCenter 3.02.52 and , on XP, updating it to 3.02.70.
You'll probably need to use the ctcomp.exe (search) on the Audio\language\Setup\Setup.exe file. So you'd need the cd copied to a folder on your harddri've so you can let ctcomp adjust the files.
Then you run AudioHQ and choose to run on startup and load in systray in the options dropdown and use the EAX Control applet to control your effects. The AdvancedEQ effects work as long as you choose the effect, click the ParametricEQ in the center, then tick the volume slider tab with your mouse, exit and save. You need to do this everytime you apply an effect.
Or, you can install the U-UPAX stuff which has been modded (driverheaven forum for links). I believe MediaSource works with their setup.
I'm telling you though, your card will not give you any extra stuff it is not hardware designed to provide. So, you still only get EAX and 2, no Advanced HD EAX 3 or 4.
And, the sound quality for music is superior with the official 252 Li've Uni-Pack setup. Unless you like overwhelming, booming bass and the midrange missing sounds. Those updated Audigy 2 and up drivers may have settings and files for the Li've, but they are tuned for the Audigy 2 and up.
The 3 best optimizations made for the Li've were the old Li'veware 3.0 vxd drivers, the APS mod for the Li've (both for 9x), and the kXProject drivers (for XP). By far the most problem free software package was the Li've Uni-Pack. And it sounds okay.
So there you go. Now, if after you uninstall whatever you've got, the setup file of the package you select doesn't say "No SoundBlaster hardware installed" you'll be lucky. Modern Creative drivers oftentimes remove something when uninstalled that messes up the hardware detection and if installing with CTZAPP doesn't magically let the software setup recognize the card again then only a format will fix it.

Creative Media Source Prob

Whenever I transfer albume to and from my Zen V Plus, Media source insists on adding the album title to the song name. This makes very long titles which can't be easily read in the Zen V. I have tried a number of transfers, and media source always appends album names to song titles. Is there a way around this, or is this Creative Media Source bug. It's a real pain to have to edit every title on every transfer. Thanks for any clues.My Zen V firmware and Media Source software are up to date.

Which mediasource did you download? I believe you have downloaded the mediasource installation mean for their MP3 player and that's why you cannot install. Their sound card mediasource don't have any standalone installation as far as I know. If you need, you will need to install the mediasource from your installation CD. If you don't have the installation CD, you can download the ISO CD image here.

Creative Media Source Player not fo

Hi... I am lost & confused!!!! I purchased a new hard dri've & motherboard. I reinstalled my audigy 2zs card & loaded the install disk. To my suprise media player did not load...in fact I can't even find it on the original install disk!! I used the media player all the time and even plugged in my old hard dri've and behold..media player was on that hard dri've!! Can anybody tell me why it is not appearing on the original install disk whenin fact it was there when I loaded it the first time I purchased the card? It appears everything else will load off the install disk EXCEPT media source player.

There are differences in the details of how the various Creative soundcards work, and it would help me if I knew which one you have. I get the impression it came in the computer, and you don't actually know the answer. Where exactly are you trying to select what u hear? The Creative Media Source Player program (I've not used it, but it seems odd for a "player" program to do recording)? The mixer program? Which mixer, Windows or Creative's?

Windows Me media source lock

I have recently installed Creative media source on Windows ME
I am experiencing a problem in Ripping from CD to the HD.
The MoVo N200 is not connected to the USB as i am only trying to Rip to the Hrad dri've
when I hit the RIP button the transfer window appaers with 0% complete, It stays at 0% ( probably for ever ). if I delete at this point the transfer window locks up and just responds with a Bing noise.
I can paly CDs from Media source but the Ripping action does not work.
Any thougts would be appreciated
Thanks,
Andy T

It's either a problem with MediaSource, or a more general problem with Windows. Try installing some other ripping software (some favourites are listed here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net) and see if these work. This will identify at least where the problem lies.

Media Source Player 5 failing on Vista

Until recently, my Media Source Player 5 has been working normally, with no problems. But starting about a week ago, each time I try to start the player, I get the following error message:
Creative Media Source Player 5 has stopped working
I provides two options,
Check online for a solution and close the program, or
Close the program
I have downloaded and reinstalled the latest Media Source 5 components, but, I still see the failure. I then uninstalled everything from Creative, and then rebooted and re-installed everthing. The player still fails.
Would anyone have any suggestions??
