Love my Zen Nano P

Ordered my Nano Plus from Buy.com and it arri'ved in 3 days. It was so cheap that I expect Creative is coming out with its own Nanokiller, but I gave away my 4GB Sansa and 'downgraded' to GB on the Zen Nano.
Here's why:
The Nano has a clip and an armband
The Nano is incredibly lightweight
The Nano can be plug'n'play/drag'n'drop very easily
The Nano can be navigated without looking at it--very simple to move to the next song, repeat the previous song while running, lifting weights... whatever.
All it needs is a clock and a timer--it would then be *THE* perfect workout mp3 player.
Can you hear me Creative Labs? All it needs is a clock function!

I am not a Creative employee so that is all you're getting from me on this one. If the player won't start and you cannot connect it to the PC then you cannot reload the firmware which is what would normally sort out this sort of problem. It could just be beyond repair.

  • Zen Nano organizat

    I have recently bought a Zen Nano, and I love it. I love it's size, its color, and it's layout. When I got it home for the first time, I installed MediaSource, and this Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer. I also use Musicmatch to purchase and exchange DRM music on it. I have a few albums on it. My problem is that it is not organized by Artist, then Album, then song... It seems as though its organized by just the track. To fix this I tried putting all my music into folders entitled their artist name, then album. Now it skips directly to the album folder. I would like to know how to organize music so I can get to it by Artist, then Album, then Song. If possible. If not then why would they waste space with a GB dri've in it.

    The flash memory players work on folders and filenames not tag info. The only tag displayed is the title tag.
    Any folders without music files in are ignored. A workaround I suggested for someone else was to create a dummy file - make a? one second recording of nothing, convert it to an mp3 file then put a copy of it in each Artist folder. Then you should be able to use the Skip Folder function to pass through the Artist folder to the enclosed Album folders.
    Hope it works as I haven't tried it myself.

  • 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.

  • Mass Storage Drivers to save Zen Nano Plus...[HALLELUJAH SOLVEDDDD!

    Okay, my Zen Nano Plus was working fine until about two days ago, when it just started shutting off. The battery was full, and I switched batteries three times, but it still wouldn't stay on. I looked through the forums, and there was advice to update the firmware. [I had ..0] I downloaded it [.3.03], and ran it, but then it said that it couldn't find the hardware for the software [or the software for teh hardware?] and I didn't know what to do, but the computer [or whatever] decided to disconnect the Nano from the comp, so there was no firmware on the player at all. And now it won't turn on.
    So I looked on the forums for THAT, and it was advised to download the Mass Storage Drivers, so I did. Only I don't know if I'm supposed to double click the icon and execute the program before I do the whole "push play before connecting the player to yor computer and continue holding play for ten seconds" thing, but I did, and I don't know if I was supposed to do, and somebody please help meh because I love my Zen and if he dies I am going to die as well. And be really bored during my classes.
    Also, I am running on Windows ME.Message Edited by rubyandrest on 0-29-200708:4 PM

    Dude...i have been a loyal customer of creative for years....i just updated my firmware on my nano plus and my zen shut down....no reset...nothing. i sent an email and i recieved a generic email about paying for contact help. they have lost a loyal customer and i am telling all of my friends to never buy a creative product. mine was fine and then i saw a firmware upgrade and thought, "wow, this would be great". then after installing it is useless. no help from creative at all. i have always had soundblaster cards and creative speaker systems so i figured id get their mp3 player...now i will never patronize their company again. go get an ipod. i am on payday! they will probably delete this post and deny me access to the site after this, but i am a marketing management major and this is a big No No for companies that wish to stay around. Creative will be gone in a few years if this is the service they offer.

  • Creative Zen Nano and Musicma

    I won some downloads. They are from Musicmatch. I have winodws 98SE. I downloaded the free jukebox. I downloaded a few songs with no problem. I just received a Creative Zen Nano. I installed the software for it. I transferred those songs to the player with no problem. When I tried downloading more songs on Musicmatch it showed that the download was complete, but then it gave me a software error message. It showed that I purchased the downloads, but they did not show up in my playlist. I don't know what the problem is. Do you think it is conflicting with the creative software? Should I uninstall part of it's I had no problem downloading before I installed the Creative software. I hope someone can help. Thanks.

    <FONT face=Garamond color=#3333cc size=3>If you have MMJB V. 0, it is known for having many bugs. There are many posts on various forums about the numerous problems. I used to really love the product but since yahoo purchased it, it turned to crap. Sorry I can't offer more advice for your particular problem but just wanted you to be aware of the many bugs and problems.

  • Perfect Headphones for Zen Nano P

    I love my new Zen Nano Plus. The only thing I did not about it were the headphones they came with. The sound was tinny and they are very uncomfortable to wear. I just bought the perfect headphones for this player. The company is called Koss the they headphones are called Sparkplugs. They go in the ear and the cushion custom molds to your ear shape. They are very comfortable and the sound is amazing. They are only around $20.
    I recommend them highly!

    Sony also makes some great headphones too! Got my girlfriend some for her 52mb Zneno Nano Plus. When I went to Fry's Electronics, they literally had 75-00 different headphones ranging from $5 to $200. I sure was overwhelmed, but she got what she liked and is very pleased. I heard Sony was one of the btter ones, but it can really be hard to tell!

  • Problem with transfer and ordering of tracks on new Zen Nano P

    I recieved my Gb Zen Nano Plus player on wednesday and transferred quite a few tracks to the player that night. They transferred fine, I was able to customize the playing order and all the songs play fine.
    But since then, I have been unable to transfer tracks to the player or change the order of the tracks. The player is recognised when I plug it in, but I am just unable to do anything with the tracks!! I have plenty of memory left and it isn't anything to do with the USB.
    I really need to know what's going on and how to fix it :-(
    Help!!!

    What error message do you get when you try to transfer the extra files?
    Are all files in the root folder? If so see the FAQ.

    Have tried to download drivers and software for Zen Micro. When I try to run it though, it does not install because it says that I do not have device connected. Have erased everything off of Zen Micro, but have not reformatted. When I attach Zen Micro to PC, Zen Micro displays "booted" & PC displays "Zen Micro" for a second or two, then switches to "MTP Device"?. Do I need to erase everything from the Zen Nano Plus first?2. What do you think my next step should be?Thx???

  • I am having a problem with my Zen Nano P

    When I first got the player for my birthday it was great. I transferred a lot of music onto it and would take it to work out or just to listen to it. But like all people I got bored with the list so I deleted all the music and made another one. Well after three lists I can no longer sync it with my computer. I have tried everything. The USB ports are working, I can sync other devices up with my computer, but for some reason I can no longer transfer songs. Its not like other problems I have read about like man I can't transfer all the songs I want no I can't transfer any songs, and the player has been emptied.
    So lets recap, no songs on the player, have tried Mediasource and Windows Media Player, and still can not transfer any songs at all. And I think my warranty has run out so I can't get my money back or get a new player.
    Please help if someone can.

    You are welcome. I am happy that the redownloading of the firmware helped you and fixed your problem. It is the first thing I try whenever my players don't do what they are supposed to do. I use my Zen Nano Plus mainly for audiobooks. It is a great little player.

  • Start-Up problems in Zen Nano 51

    Greetings... I just bought?3 Zen?Nano players 2 months ago, everything was working perfectly but now I'm having problems with one of them, when I press the play button to power on my player, the screen shows the Creative logo but immediately it turns off, I've tried to format the player but when I connect it to the PC, the player indeed?appears as?a removeble dri've?in My PC but when I try to explore it, a message appears that says something about like: ...the device cannot be opened due to an I/O error... I'm using XP SP2, and I have tried to format the zen even in safe mode but no response at all, every time the player is detected but the system is unable to open it. I really hope that you can help me. Is there a way to reset physically this player?, I'm going to try updating the firmware but if the system isn?t able to access the device maybe this couldn?t be possible. I expect any comments about my problem, thanks again and have an excellent day. Regards.

  • How can I get my itunes library on my Zen Nano Pl

    I have a large selection of music in my itunes library and would like to get them into my Creative Zen Nano. I also have alot of music on my hard dri've and am having a hard time getting it to load. Help!? Sloan493

    Hi Sloan,
    What format is your music in? If the music is in MP3 format then it should be fairly straightforward, you can transfer them across to the player and they should work. Where do you run into issues, and what happens exactly?
    If the music is in AAC format it will not work, that format is not supported by the player. Provided the tracks aren't protected, you can convert them to MP3 first, and then transfer to the player.

  • Zen Nano Plus WON'T START / RECOVERY / RES

    Hello ZNP friends and fellow victims of frustration,
    I have the GB Zen Nano Plus and a Windows XP operating system. My Zen is just over 3 months old, and a few days ago I started having the "stuck on Logo or hour glass (building library) problem". Like many of you, it has frustrated me beyond belief in my attempts to correct it. I'm certainly not a computer whiz, but I'm fairly good at following clear, numbered, valid instructions. I have tried many of the offered cures for this problem as provided in the discussion forum. None have worked for me.
    I have just stumbled onto/into the fix for the WON'T START / RECOVERY / RESCUE problem. At least, I hope it lasts. The bad news is that I don't know or remember the steps for the cure. The good news is that the problem can be fixed. In the frustration of trying a million variations on the steps offered in the discussion area, I happened to fix my nano plus. I was becoming like a hyper zealot playing a slot machine.
    What I do remember is this:
    ) I did download the application ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF___0 and install it, and put an icon on my desktop so I could activate it easily.
    2) I did double click it to call it up.
    3) I attached my nano plus via USB to the computer. I don't remember if I had to do that before or after bringing up the above application. (You may have to try both.)
    4) I did leave the battery out of the nano plus during this operation.
    5) I was required to reformat the nano plus which eliminated anything on it. When the instruction came on to reformat, it said "... area" so I was worried that the reformat might include more than the device itself but it didn't.
    6) Then I loaded a song, disconnected the device from the computer, put in a battery, and it started fine.
    What a task that whole process was! Of course I'm not telling you anything new. I was tempted to just get on with life, but then I thought I should really share this with those of you who have been in the trenches...to let you know that a cure is possible.
    Creative should really have a clear set of instructions by now for fixing this problem.
    Good luck!
    Buck

    Have you updated the firmware? this could be the major cause. Also, MP3 has far fewer kinks as a uni'versal format than WMA. If possible, I highly suggest using MP3 on MP3 players.

  • Creative Zen Nano player does not p

    My Creative Zen Nano is getting power on, but it does not play the music. I have many music files and those files have been played for long time, but now they are not playing. When I checked the contents of the player using my PC, the folders are shown as .exe files. Could you please let me know how to correct the player, so that it could play the files. Thanks in advance.
