Just got Zen Nano Plus -- aweso

Hey--
So... I just got a Zen Nano Plus yesterday. $60 on Amazon.
It's awesome. It's exactly what I was looking for; while I don't know about the durability, I'm surprised that it came with an arm band and rubber case with a belt clip; I don't think Amazon mentioned those. Anyway, it's great; the FM recording *does* work, and is decent quality. My only complaints would have to be the lack of bookmarks -- while the entire device has resume, you can't resume at a specific point in a file. Hence, if I use it for audiobooks, the second I play something else, I lose my place. On the upside, the folders are awesome. As is the backlight (my last standalone MP3 player -- I normally use my Palm -- was a 28MB RCA Lyra).
I'm using it on my iBook; it shows up as a dri've in the Finder, and, oddly, as a Nomad MuVo in iTunes. However, while iTunes correctly shows how much space is used/left, it only shows the files in the root directory. It'd be neat if they could rig up fake playlists to represent folders... but one of the reasons I bought the ZNP as opposed to a more expensi've/fancier model was that it doesn't need jukebox software to load music.
So far, it works beautifully. I would definitely recommend it, especially at the current price of $55 on Amazon.

It's good to hear that you like your player. Could you post the number of the firmware version that came on your player seeing as it still has FM Recording - Creative removed it and then put it back, but they haven't made the new version available to us old-timers yet. PB

Zen Nano Plus ERROR CODE -6

Hi
Have just got a Nano plus for christmas and now trying to set up the creative cd rom software.
But I keep getting an installShield Wizzard Error it asks me to do the following
-close any running programs (none open)
- Empty your tempory internet folder (empty)
- Check your internet connection (broadband always on)
then try to run the Setup again
have tried to do this a few times but no joy have downloaded MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250 but it's the same problem.
Could the reason be that i also have iRi'ver plus on the computer (other half's Mp3 player)?
I can download music via Windows media player 0 but If I want to download an update will I need this software?
Can anyone help
Thanks in advance
Niki
:smileytongue:

nikiyoung: Installshield or Demoshield? The FAQ only covers a problem with Demoshield.
The software isn't that important. The player will appear as a device in Windows Explorer, and you drag and drop files to it.
The software gives two advantages () it can rip files (but so can a lot of other software) (2) it has a "Smartfit" feature which allows you to compress files further to squeeze onto the player.

Zen Nano Plus: Line in recording from micropho

I've got a Creative Zen Nano Plus and was very happy about its ability to encode MP3s from the line in jack.
Since the integrated microphone is not very good for recording (especially loud music) I tried to connect a microphone to the line in jack. Unfortunately I had to recognise that it doesn't record anything no matter if "Sync Track" is on or off.
I'd be glad if someone can tell me what exactly the problem is. Do I need some kind of special microphone (I read somewhere that it has to be "pre-amped", whatever that may mean) or is the line in jack designed for just recording from devices like a CD player? Help is very much appreciated. :-)

Big bump.
I did some research quite a while ago and thought that I should report the results for people also having that problem.
A line-in jack is not a microphone-in jack. The difference between them is that the former is not supplied with electricity, so it can't power simple external microphones on its own. Thus, a real microphone-in jack is needed, though none of the Creative products has one included. You will still need a pre-amped microphone to get recordings with proper volume, though. A good and cheap solution is the Archos Stereo Microphone that comes with a preamplifier including volume adjust (http://www.archos.com -> Accessories -> Audio accessories).
Microphone-in jacks can be found for example in the iri'ver iFP-7** and iFP-8** series. Since this players are discontinued and newer models don't have these jacks, it's kind of hard to still use that feature.

Having same Zen Nano Plus problem as Golden Oldi

I didn't want to hijack Paloma's post, but was amazed when I read it because the same thing is happening to me!
My new Zen Nano Plus <EM>just</EM> arri'ved in the mail 2 days ago, I downloaded the software, connected the player to register it and got the USB connection symbol. When disconnected it does NOT switch on when I press or hold the scroll button.
I do believe I followed all instructions carefully, but something is really wrong. I'm not computer/electronics illiterate, but a wiz I ain't! I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks!

Creative Zen Nano Plus..cords..warnin

Hello. i just got a Creative Zen Nano Plus and while I was going through the manual that came with it I noticed there was a warning about the cord(s): "WARINING: The cord(s) included with this product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproducti've harm. Wash hands after handling. " I'm wondering if Creative has changed the components of these cords. And if so can they be replaced somehow. I don't want to use a cord that may cause cancer or birth defects.

From a previous thread on this:
California law states that notification should be given if a product contains certain amounts of lead. Many types of electrical cords use small amounts of lead to make them more flexible and the USB cord used with many of our products is no different.
I believe a more official source of information regarding the Lead disclaimer, it's origin and purpose, can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html

ZEN NANO PLUS PLAYING QUEST

I just bought the GB Zen Nano Plus and I love it. But today something weird happened, it was playing through my songs as normal the at the end of a certain song when it went to the next track, this next track did not automatically start playing as it should, i saw the solid square icon meaning stop on the player, and to play the track i had to repress the play button then it played through fine, so i erased the track before the track that would not play thinking i would just reload it when i got home, but that didn't fix the problem so i also erased the actual track that would not play until i repressed the play button, finally after erasing a few more tracks in the sequence, it stopped happening, it was weird because everyother track just plays through one after another like it should, my play mode is on normal, each album that i have tracks from on my player is in a separate folder. i am going to reload the problem songs and see what happens, just thought it was weird
any thoughts?
thank you

My N200 plays all the way through until the end of the last folder. You must have a different Play Mode set.

Zen Nano Plus Battery co

I've just broken the battery cover on my Zen Nano Plus and customer support say they haven't got any replacements available. They suggested I did a web search to try and find one!?Does anyone know of an source for the battery covers? I also wondered if contacting support in another region (I'm in the UK and receivedthe reply from European support)? might be worthwhile - or possible. Thanks?Ian

Don't believe the last post about getting a replacement battery door. I bought three?Nano Plus's?about 6 months ago and the tab on one of the battery doors bent and finally broke off. Not only don't they have blue ones anymore, but they want $6 for a door and $6 dollars to put it in the mail. (They don't consider poor design a defect.)Message Edited by jcpny on 09-24-20070:42 PM

Zen nano Plus, say i have alot more space but i cant upload more so

I just got the Zen nano Plus and it says on the organizer I have 698.3 MB of space left and I cant upload any more songs at all, anyone have an idea of whats wrong?
thanks

See the section "I can't seem to fit any more files on my flash player yet I have free space, why?" in the FAQ post.

Zen Nano Plus static on voice recordings while driv

I have a Zen Nano Plus GB and I'm pleased with the quality of the voice recorder in general.
However, all voice recordings I've made inside an automobile traveling over 55 MPH contain a lot of very loud static interference noises. I was hoping to create most of my voice memos while driving, but the recordings I've made while driving (in two different cars) are unusable because of this frequent static sound. I've tried holding the device in different positions (near the window, away from the steering column, above my head, etc.) and it does not seem to help. This does not happen in any other situation.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Then what is the point of recording FM if you can't even save it's I'm just going to have to convert it the old fashioned way, but before I do, I want to note that the SOLE reason I got the Zen Nano Plus is because I wanted to record an event off FM. No, there is no prohibited copyright stuff on this, it's all meant to be recorded. I really wish this would be worth the money, but it seems that I am going to have to get another MPIO. Easier to use and fewer nuisances.
The shame...

Problems running creative zen nano plus and nomad muvo on same compu

We have 2 nomad muvo mp3 players and now a zen nano plus .Have had constant problems with the media organiser .
Installed zen nano plus and selected enable smart fit to get maximum amount of songs and it worked fine but as soon as we tried to install software for the 2 nomad players it would not work smart fit for any of them.
Uninstalled everything and got the zen software in and it was running ok but then seemed to have problems and although smart fit was enabled it just copied files as the original mp3.
It then fatally crashed yesterday and I am awaiting a replacement as I had only had it for 2 days.
Is it possible to run all 3 and to be able to use smart fit on all 3 players or am I better off having just one working and using the file converter for the other 2.

<FONT face=Helv size=2>
Make sure that you have installed the MediaSource plugin for MuVo in order to get SmartFit You have to access SmartFit via the MuVo node of the Sources window in MediaSource. You won't see SmartFit if you access your MuVo via the My Computer node of the Sources window in MediaSource..

Zen Nano Plus and N200- the sa

Yesterday I ordered a N200... or a Nano Plus, actually i don't know since the title said Zen Nano Plus, but the pictures and text said N200. Of course I asked support which I was going to get when I ordered and in their reply they said they are the same but with different name... so I don't really know what i'll get tomorrow, but then I guess it won't matter if they are the same with different name... But are they really the same?

Hello,
Just so you don't make a mistake, the 200 and the Zen Nano Plus were different for me. Both I bought were GB but the software was different on the N-200. I was told NOT to load the N-200 on the Zen Nano Plus. I also bought Notmad software and they said that the ZenNanoPlus would be supported soon.
I mistakenly thought I had to upgrade the firmware to get Audible compatibility. I did not. It was Audible ready out of the box. It was .00.02 from the factory. I got 2 different Creative support people telling me 2 different things...including how to upgrade the firmware with N200. One support said DO NOT do it.
Finally I got someone who said it was audible ready as it is. I tried it and it worked perfectly. So...just check. I am not sure who was right. All I know is I blew one up once trying to upgrade and I am real cautious now. At this time, I would not trade the Zen Nano Plus for anything......except perhaps for a copy of the new firmware for the Zen Touch ! Had to get that in.

Armband ZEN Nano Plus/MuVo Micro N

I just bought a Zen Nano Plus Gb, and I'm looking for the armband. It is on the creative website, but it seems that nobody got that in store. If anybody knows a store where I can order it or a website, it'll be very helpfull !!
Thanx everybody

"I received it this morning, and I'm very pleased, it's perfect! Looks like a geniune US one (has the Creative logo on it) which is $9.99 (but they wont ship outside the US)."
That is so silly. Why doesn't Creative stock all the items in its US internet store in its other internet stores?
Imo it is also not a good idea that they have different package contents for different regions. In addition to confusing and disappointing many consumers, it must also add unnecessary additional complexity to their inventory management. I can imagine situations arising where they have too much inventory of an item packaged for one region, but are sold out of it packaged for another region.

Zen Nano Plus/MuVo TX FM/MuVo V2

I'm contemplating buying a Creative MP3 player, but I've never had one before and I'd like to know about a couple of features. What's really pressing on my mind is if the players support folders, meaning if I can chose a folder and play all the songs inside, or if the player just takes all the songs in all the folders, sorts them alphabetically and plays them.
I want a player with GB memory, and I'd like to use it as a USB storage, too, so it should support other filetypes. Radio would be great, and I'd like to know if the radio also functions when I'm on holiday in another country, maybe even on another continent.
Until now, it seems that the Zen Nano Plus, the MoVo TX FM and the MuVo V200 are my most likely choices, plus, I like their design and they're not too expensi've. But before I buy any of them, I'd really like to know all the differences between them, so I can make the right decision. It would be great if you could help me with that.
Thanks! AldaraMessage Edited by Aldara on 0--2005 07:08 PM

I can offer some questions answered for the N200/Nano Plus, there are many others here who are more knowledgeable on the flash players.
The Nano Plus does allow you to pick each folder and play them, depending on your play mode (shuffle, normal, repeat folder etc), the folder will play how it's been told to. But, the songs are played in alphanumeric order (Eg, ,2,3,a,b,c, so you'd need the songs like 0-track.mp3, 02-track.mp3 etc). I think all Creative Flash players work that way actually.
The Line-in on the Nano Plus isn't all that good, I wouldn't really use it tbh.
It can be used a flash dri've (as all the others can)
The Radio generally on the Nano/N200 (mine's an N200, so I'm not sure how much exactly it'd differ, but they are the same player, just rebranded) is usually very good for me. I'm in London, and with the autoscan feature, I pick up the radio stations I want to listen to. I did recently bring my player to Mauritius where I did also get a good reception (in the Capital and around the Island, not where I was staying, because that's well... on a hill, I never really did try it). I also tried it out in Australia, Perth, where I actually got nothing at all, not radio station on autoscan. If I did manually go to the radio stations I did get a muffled sound. This was only where I was staying, I didn't really have time to mess around with an mp3 player while I was out.
Hope that answers some questions, feel free to ask more.
