Media source 3 & 5 coexi

Finally got around to installing the update to Media Source 5. Oddly enough it also left a fully functioning MS3. Shouldn't 5.0 have replaced the earlier version as I see no point in haveing 2 versions of the same app taking up dri've space. Was considering removing old MS via add/remove programs CP but worry if that might mess up 5.0. Anyone had some experience with getting rid of the older version?Thanks in advance

We'll have to wait until a remote plugin compatible with CMSP 5 is released, or you can try with alternati've remote applications, try RMX automation, it's very flexible and you can't beat the price (free):?http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=84525

Can not activate EAX and SVM Support in Media Source Organizer with Audigy2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please there must be somebody out there able to me!Ive got an Audigy2 SB0240 (driver: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe)? and Media Source (CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe) Windows XP Pro SP2So after the CORRECT Installation and?Updates to the actuall securely workable Versions by Creative Auto Update the Media Source Player/Organizerit is not able to let me use EAX or SVM. The well known error message: "there is no audio device detected" appears after pressing Ctrl E.Each process of is own (Soundcard and all the Creative Softwarestuff) is working absolutely correct so far. Ive tryed driver cleansweeping, deinstalltion of all Creative stuff, even by Driver Cleaner Pro, Ived pulled the Soundcard out of the system during?deinstalltion and tryed any driver version (from CD and Internet)and Installation description procedures which I could find here at the forum, during the whole last days!?But there is no way. Is there someone, who knows what to do? I would be very happy if?it works. Thanks for your attention and help.

TheDarkSide,
Actually what is happening is that MediaSource does not support the Audigy card. The EAX and SVM buttons require the EAX console and capabilities of the Audigy 2 or cards that were designed for MediaSource. The way that EAX was handled and implemented was changed between the Audigy and Audigy 2 and this is why MediaSource doesn't support the EAX capabilities of the Audigy directly. You can still modify the EAX settings from within EAX console for the Audigy but it isn't integrated into MediaSource like it is with Playcenter.

How can I use my remote, without using Media Sourc

I have an audigy2ZS Platinum Pro, and I hate the mediasource remote plugin, I was much happier with my Remote Center, that was on my Audigy Platinum.. Is there anyway to get remote center on this model, or do I have to use media source?

Intelliremote is a software program that replaces the cumbersome Creative Remotecenter software that is bundled with Soundblaster Li've!, Audigy, Audigy ZS and, X-Fi. Creative had an excellent idea bundling an infrared remote control with their product...it's just to bad the software "RemoteCenter" is a 2MB behemoth that doesn't even do what you want it to do!

Premiere Pro CC won't read media source timecode?

We recently switched over some of our editing systems to Premiere Pro CC, but for some reason Premiere Pro CC isn't reading the timecode from our source footage. It works fine in CS6 and CS5, but on each of the CC systems, even though the timecode preference is set to "Use Media Source" the timecode that is displayed in the project window, the source window and even in the timeline with a timecode window effect added and set to media, the time code that is displayed starts from 0 as though it's set for "generate" or in preferences, "Start From 00:00:00:00."
All of our source footage is recorded on XDCam or DVCPro 100 and we've been using Premiere since CS5 without issue. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can you upload a short clip somewhere for us to take a look at?
BTW, exactly which version of CC are you on?

How to play MPEG4 music files using Creative Media Source

I use iTunes store for buying music pretty much and receive files in MPEG4 format.
Instead of converting to MP3 I would prefer that my Creative Media Source player/organiser could handle the MPEG4 format. I'm using the Media Source player with an Audigy2ZS and sometimed the older Soundblaster-USB for notebooks.
Is there an upgrade that I have overlooked or ...
Or shall I buy a more professional player, like BMP studio?
I don't like the iTunes player very well!

What is better creative media source or Windows media player?

Hey I just bought a new Zen player, and I noticed while ripping and uploading songs that the album art does not come along with it if I'm using the creative media source software. Now if I use my windows media player that came with my vista computer I do get the album art. So now my question is if Creative media source can't even do this simple task what is the benefit of using creative's media source? Are there things that it can do that windows media player can't do? Which is a better product to use? :smileyindifferent:angry:

And I guess another benefit to creative mediasource is converting video files for playback on the zen. Windows media player I don't think has a converter for video files for the zen.
That is part of the Creative Media Explorer not MediaSource. The Video Converter is slooow & not that great. I do use the Media Explorer it is better for making & editing playlists.

Media Source no longer op

I have the Zen Touch 20Gig and love it to bits - fabulous sound quality but, and it;'s a BIG but I too long for the FIRMWARE UPGRADE to allow it to be used with NAPSTER TO GO!!
Here is the problem though........
I have downloaded some software upgrades from the Creative site, and, I think this has been the trigger for Creative Media Source no longer opening when I click on to it!
I also have Notmad by Red Chair and this is working fine, but the problem with that program is that I don't think you can access Internet based Track Information (CDDB).
Can anyone tell me how to get Media SOurce to work?
I have completely uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled to no avail.
Alternati'vely, does anyone know ho I can automatically label CD tracks when using the more versatile NOTMAD software which is still well worth the $25 reg fee, because of the ase of playing tracks from the MP3 player on WMP0.

A window opens saying that MediaSource has "encountered a problem and will close" - clicking on the tech report it lists a load of error messages none of which mean anything to me! I have uninstalled programe again, and on instruction from someone at Support at Creative have deleted what was left in the Creative folder in Windows - although 3 or 4 .dll files would nt delete at all.
I am just about to reinstall 3 files from the Creative Donload site, on recommendation from them -
Is there any other way I can get Track Data off sites like Gracenote using Notmad - then I would not need to use MediaSource at all???
Thanks for your interest, I am leaving to go to Sicily for a week at 0500 GMT 0 September for a holiday with my wife -bit if do reply tnight I'll see it,

MP3s won't play correctly in Media Sourc

I just downloaded Media Source 5 (5.0.38) for my Zen. I have discovered quite a few of my previously ripped MP3 suddenly don't play right. They played great in 3.30.2 and still do.
I ripped all of these myself several years ago. A single version of MusicMatch was used to do all the ripping, hundreds of CDs.
I've discovered this pattern. If one track of a CD is wrong, all tracks from that CD play wrong. Otherwise all tracks of the CD play perfectly.
With Media Source 5, when I start play on a bad track, the progress bar zooms across at about 0 times normal speed. When it gets to the right end, playing stops, despite the song being far from finished.
So I tried the MS Media Player. Also bizarre behavior. The bar shoots across just as fast, but the song doesn't stop with the bar hits the right.
Media Source 3 always works correctly on all mp3 files. Trying to find a pattern, I tried other mp3 players. Here is that result:
These are the ones that play it correctly:
Creative MediaSource 3
Nero Showtime
MusicMatch
PowerDVD
Garmin GPS
Wrong:
Creative MediaSource and mp3 player 5
MS Media Player
Based on the above pattern it doesn't make sense to be that just some CDs could be "damaged", since either all tracks or none of a CD are "bad". Also, the same program was used to rip them all. They play fine on most players, just not MediaSource 5 and MS Media Player .
Has anyone ever heard of this? It there anyone here that can examine a sample file and figure out what's "wrong" with it's My purpose here is to discover whether this is a player problem or something else. MediaSource could be using a Windows resource to play mp3 files which would explain why both it and Media Player both fail.
Thanks.
Bruce.

Creative Media Source won't display tracks on Zen Mi

When I hook up my Zen Micro, Media Source displays the music on the?Zen Micro in folders named by artist. Sub folders contain albums by that artist. The next sub foolders display track names. Can I change the settings so all of my tracks are shown as one list when I first choose the Zen Micro.

I have been chatting to some others and it appears that it isn't a WMP problem. Having seen a thread re: Zen synch, I tried to play the music through the Creative player but the Zen is not detected on that either.
In Windows XP I can see the Zen when I dock it, and I can see it in WMP, but it is not visible in the Creative Player?
Any ideas, is it a case of uninstalling the Creative software?

Thanks.

Creative Media Source 5 and Zen

I own the Zen VW and use the Creative Media Source 5. The problem I find is when I try to transfer songs to the Zen. I am trying to copy my smart playlist of fi've star tracks over. On the pc it has over 000 tracks, but only 550 or so end up on my Zen, what can I do to make sure all the tracks transfer over?

What I have to do to make sure that every song gets transfered over, is to copy them in sets of 50 at a time. But with each set of 50, I dont get every song on the Zen, I have to delete how ever man of the 50 came over, and transfer the set of 50 again, the second time, every of the 50 songs transfers over. This is a pain when I have a play list of 000 songs. I have tried the whole list of 000 songs in one transfer, and I only get about half, and with a second transfer, I dont get much more.
What can fix this problem?

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.
