Mediasource organizer doesn't allow to play a player tr

Hi all
I don't know if is it a bug or a feature. Nomad Jukebox 3 plenty of music. _I've installed Creative MediaSource Organizer & Player and the Nomad/Zen plugin for the Mediasource.
However, when I choose a track to be played on my pc the only thing that happens is the track added to the lower left corner pane ("now playing"). The song is stopped and no sound.
I use other software and o problem with this.
any suggestion?
thanks in advance

Did you try getting the latest version from Nomadworld.com downloads?
If you are getting problems installing I would suspect more that there is a problem with the Windows install.

  • Creative Mediasource Organizer Losing Year T

    I use Windows XP, Creative Mediasource Organizer version 3.30.35 and my player is a Zen MicroPhoto 8G. I have over 4000 MP3 files organized with id tags in Creative Mediasource Organizer. These are almost exclusivly?MP3 files that I recorded myself. Of the 4000 files?there are only a handful, just?one album that could possibly find tag information?to pull from the internet. Yesterday,?more than?200 of my mp3 files?had blank?year tags. I entered the correct year in several dozen of these so that only about 65 had blank year tags. Then I closed the software and turned of my computer. Today I opened Creative Mediasource Organizer to work on filling in those blank year tags. There were over 400 blank year tags today. What is happening? I have PC Music Library open. I select a single file, right click, click properties, click tag information, enter the year in the year field, click OK. Then I right click and select "update tag" click "yes" to confirm that I want the changes to apply to the file itself and not just to the PC Media Library. Please, someone help me understand why?the number of blank year tags is growing instead of shrinking? What can I do to retain the information I enter in these tags?

    YESTERDAY:?Monday March 2, 2007:?I edited my media library from within Creative MediaSource so that there are no files without a valid year in the year tag. For?each MP3 file the other standard tags also contain meaningful data. These are?title, artist, album and?genre,?but not track. I don't see any practical way to use the track field for some of these files, so not all of them have a track number. The files I want in my media library are all the MP3 and WMA files within C:/MP3 and it's subfolders. The properties of C:/MP3 as viewed from "My Computer" are 3922 files and 249 folders. About a dozen are WMA files and one is a text file. All the others are MP3 files. The problem is that?there are quite a number of duplicate entries. And the Media Library is reporting several hundred more files within C:/MP3?than "My Computer" is reporting there.
    I used "Tools/Settings/PC Media Library/ Delete invalid entries" but it did NOT remove the duplicate entries. Exiting the program and opening it again did not correct the count either. So I selected ALL the files, right clicked, and selected "update tags." I clicked YES to update the tag data from the media library to the files. When that operation was completed, I deleted all the files from the library but not from the computer. And?now I am?importing all the files within C:/MP3?back into the library. It says "now transferring 859 of 3920 files." This is good! 3920 is very close to 3922 minus the one text file. I want to see if, when this transfer is finished, I will have the correct number of MP3 files in my media library, and I want to see if the tag data, including the year data, remains?intact after this transfer. The transfer is complete. I do have 3920 files in my media library now and the data in the id tags appears to be intact. Hopefully, this will still be the case when I open the software tomorrow. THE NEXT DAY:?Tuesday, March 3, 2007: Grrr! I now have 3950 files in my media library where it should be only 3920. I did not add anything ?or make any edits. Exactly 30 of these entries?have blank year fields. I'm thinking that Creative MediaSource is NOT?loosing the data in year tags as I first thought, rather it's ADDING entries that are identical to existing entries except that the year fields in the added entries are empty. I think that if I enter the correct year data, I will end up with 30 entries that are truly exact duplicates. I don't see a pattern or clue to tell me why these 30 and not the others ... they have different artists, different albums, genres and the data in the missing year fields was not all the same. In the track fields, a few are blank, but most of them have data. "Tools/Settings/PC Music Library/Clean up now" did not elimiinate these 30 extra entries. Looking at the properties of C:/MP3 from "My Computer" still shows 3922 files (one is a text file) ... From my experiments yesterday, I am pretty sure that I can delete these 30 extra entries and be left with valid entries for all my files. This is frustrating. I'm hoping that these observations will be helpful to a programmer working on the next version of Creative MediaSource. I would send these comments directly to them, but they don't seem to provide a way for me to do that.

  • Itunes doesn't allow me to send some songs to my iphone or allow me to play them?

    When i drag and drop some music files on my itunes it doesn't allow me to play or send the song to my iphone? The song details are shown in a light grey with the 'refresh' like button the very left hand side.

    I had a problem getting any calendar events after a hd failure and reinstall. Someone here told me to try this and it worked!
    1. Launch iTunes - Preferences - Devices - Reset Sync History - Confirm - Give it 1 min. You may or may not see a progress bar. Ensure Outlook is closed when you do this.
    *Now go ahead and sync Outlook Calenders to iPod
    2. Attempt to try and sync using the different USB Ports in the system and see weather or not syncing takes a bit longer and actually copies information over
    3. If you are able to Restore the iPod as a new iPod so it has a fresh info.. And sync everything to it like it is the first time.
    Hope it helps!

  • MediaSource Organizer Never Delet

    Let's say I have 0 albums on my computer's playlist. And let's say I have a brand-new MuVo2 FM unit. I connect it via USB, I run a sync, and voila, I have the exact same ten albums on my player.
    But then let's say I get tired of one of the albums. So I delete it from my computer playlist, meaning I have 9 albums now on my playlist. On my next sync, I expect my MuVo to also have 9 albums. I expect it to get rid of the one that's not on my playlist.
    But no -- after doing some searching on the board, I've come to the conclusion that Creative MediaSource Organizer never deletes anything from my MuVo2 FM unit. Is this true? I can't believe Creative expects to compete with Apple if they don't allow a sync to be a true sync.
    If they're afraid of newbies losing their music somehow, then should't they at least have the option to allow the Organizer to delete files from the MuVo?
    I've tried the Realplayer since one of the messages says it does sync, but Real makes a total mess (no directory structure, and it doesn't even write the playlists).

  • Creative MediaSource Organizer Alternati

    Ok, so I have a Zen Vision M, and I can't figure out a way to listen to the songs that are on my mp3 player through my computer. The only way I've seen that even offers me the ability to do this is through MediaSource Organizer, and that quite frankly is terrible. Everytime I want to find a song I have to find the artist folder, then find the album folder, then find the song. I can't stand it. I'm the type of guy that is looking for a song, not an artist. I can't figure out a way for it to have all the songs on my mp3 player to come up in like an "All Tracks" list or anything - I'm stuck having to go through 3 different folders everytime I want to hear a single song. Now, is there any way that I can listen to my songs on my computer without using this player? I'd prefer to use Windows Media Player since I'm most familiar with that, but so far I haven't been able to figure out how the hell to play the songs, only sync them. I definitely don't want to have to upload everything from my player back onto my computer in order to listen to it. If by some chance the ONLY thing that allows me to play the songs on my mp3 player through my computer is Creative MediaSource...then can someone please tell me how I can set it so that it just pops up with "All Tracks" in alphabetical order or something? This is killing me. Thanks guys.

    I've also been looking for an alternati've to MediaSource. It used to be a good program, but the whole MTP Playforsure crap ruined everything.. I really wish I had not upgraded my Zen Xtra.
    Its makes the performance really slow and brings in way too many limitations.
    I mean it takes nearly 4 mins to get MediaSource to display all the files on my Zen Xtra, and Vision M, that's just unacceptable. Before I upgraded the firmware it only took a couple seconds. And I was able to sort the music by artist, Genre, album, and the using the search feature brought back results instantly.
    I know that Playforsure support was a major request for some users, but I wonder if they knew that things would wind up like this! Becuase this decrease of performance and loss of functionlity, was not advertised in there description of the new firmware!
    And its not fair that I wasn't even given a choice with the Zen Vision M!
    I used to have an MPIO HD300 and a iAudio X5. Both of the players were both MTP I think, but they showed up as a dri've letter in Windows and any music program could access the files. I wish Creative would take a hint from that.

  • 'Creative Mediasource Organizer' Folders and the ZEN V pla

    Using the Creative Mediasource Organizer, I've set up a few Folders on the 'Creative Zen V' player but when I undock the player and use it to find and play the songs, they're not organized by the Folders. In fact, I don't the folder 'structure' at all. Is there a way I can see and use my folder structure I've set up for the player? and, if not, then why does the Organizer enable me to set up folders?Thanks.

    Folders on the device are merely for your own convenience and organization. The device relies solely on ID TAGS on how it plays and displays the various tracks. You will need to get your tracks in order and edit the tags.

  • Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra Wont appear in the creative mediasource organiz

    I plug it into the usb dri've, and it doesnt show up. I look on My Computer, and it shows up as an audio device, and other. I go to my mediasource organizer, and it doesnt show up. I can access it on my computer, but it takes longer and I have no way of organizing my songs. I tried to re-install it, but it still doesnt work. It also doesn't work on my brothers 60gb one. Any help?

    hol3_c4t,
    Did you install the Nomad Jukebox Type 2 plugin also? If not, go to the download page and install those in order for the MediaSource application to identify the player.

  • MediaSource Organizer problem on Windows

    I just installed everything that was on the creative CD that came with my Zen NOMAD Xtra 40gb but ever time I run the MediaSource Organizer and something pops up telling me that there was a problem and then it will ask me if I want to send an error report to microsoft. I am running windows xp home edition sp. When I installed the software on my windows 2000 computer it worked fine but I don't use that computer anymore anyone know what the problem could be? Thank you for the help in advance.

    Frankly the problem IS Mediasource with Win XP Sp, IMHO. I had terrible luck with it for 3 days (I'm a wiz at figuring out difficult software too!) constant crashes in Win XP SP (and no thanks I don't "want" SP2). So I went to www.nomadness.net and saw the post overwhelmingly praising Notmad (redchairsoftware.com) even though it's not free ($25 register fee).
    USB recognition of Xtra interface within Mediasource is dicey at best I found.
    My daughter has a Xtra too (bought two both working great) and runs Mediasource on Win 98 SE with zero problems. So it must be Mediasource and Win XP not playing nice, I figure.
    I strongly recommend uninstalling the CMC and keeping only the needed driver on your PC. You can transfer songs with Windows Media Player if you need a "free" solution, but nobody does it better than Notmad. Also there are lots of free ripping software choices as well.
    Good luck and post your progress.Message Edited by LivNgD34Dgrl on 0-07-2005 06:53 AM

  • MediaSource Organizer - Analyzing KOed my Vol

    I'm relati'vely new to Creative. After being burned by ipod, I bought the Zen Vision: M (30gb) earlier this year. To get the player up and running, I installing the proper software. While in MediaSource Organizer, the program asked if I wanted to analyze my music. While analyzing my music, it managed to mess with the volume level of my computer. Now mp3 files, programs, web downloads, system sounds, anything, is at less then half volume. I have a Boston Acoustic, three piece speaker system that was once very loud. Now I have to turn the computer volume and the speaker volume all the way up to hear just above a whisper.
    I contacted tech support. They said to uninstall, then reinstall program. I did what they suggested and it solved nothing.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,
    Chris

  • Mediasource Organizer import crash at 1000 tra

    I'm using the very latest version of Mediasource Organizer (5.00.20), and have found that it crashes consistently before I reach 000 tracks in the PC Music Library with:?"Faulting application ctimprtu.exe, version 5.0.5.0, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.2600.280, fault address 0x000a6d." It doesn't matter what the track is - importing any new track into the library reproduces the problem. I have 999 tracks in the library at the moment ?Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix (apparently not, if I have the latest version from the Creative site...)??

    ?If msvcrt.dll were really that buggy, I suspect far more applications than Mediasource would be failing... By the way, the version of msvcrt.dll in \windows\system32 is 7.0.2600.280
    Do a web search for the error you are getting and you will see that a lot of other apps have problems with this exact same version of msvcrt.dll. Apologies for appearing to talk down to you in my reply but not many people in here have as much software knowledge as you so we have to give a reply that will be OK for all levels. PB

  • Creative MediaSource Organizer....Will it work with Zen 16GB

    I still have Creative MediaSource Organizer that I used when i had my Sleek Photo. I really liked using this program to edit the names/albums. Will this program also work with the ZEN 6GB? If not, what program do I use?

    Great! Thats what I thought it would be, they were probably covering themselves with the 'works best with' so no one could come back and say "My mp3 player won't play the movie files" you know what some people are like

  • Mediasource Organizer - How can I reorganize my mu

    Hi
    I have had a a Zen Xtra for just over a month and immediately transferred most of my albums onto it using Mediasource organiser. All my music is stored in D:\Music and there are no sub folders as I did not change the media folder settings for my PC music library (the defaults were set to None). As my library builds up I am encountering problems such as duplicate file names (even though the songs are by different artists). I currently get round this by renaming tracks e.g Sing (Travis) and Sing (Carpenters).
    I have just looked at the help topic Advanced Use Of Creative Mediasource (better late than never!), see link
    http://dmzweb3.europe.creative.com/S.../,Case=obj(623)
    This suggests changing the settings so that each album is stored in it's own folder. My questions are as follows :
    . Will I have to completely delete my PC music library and start from scratch in order to organise my music in such away or is there some other clever way of doing this.
    2. If there is no easy way of doing this then it would probably take me a couple of days to do manually. Is it worth it or should I just persevere with what I've got.
    3. If there is no easy way of doing this is it worth changing the settings so that all future music transfers are organised in sub folders.
    4. If the answer to 3. is yes and I keep all my existing music in the same format, then when I add new albums I will have a mixture of music which is in sub folders and which is not in sub folders. Is this a bad idea.
    I very new to mp3 playes so any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the both for the help/suggestions. I get my music in to d:\mymusic by either ripping in Mediasource or coping mp3's using Nomad Explorer (when I use Nomad explorer I copy the mp3's onto my Jukebox Zen Xrtra first and then do a sync using Mediasource Organizer).
    I'm not aware that I changed Mediasource settings to None but I suppose it's possible.
    I have now changed my settings to create Artist/Album folders within my d:\mymusic folder so going forward everything should be more organised. I have ripped a couple of cd's since changing the settings and these new albumns are indeed in artist album sub folders.
    With regrads to reorganising my existing music, I would like to try micromouses suggestion but I don't see how this will work, as the tracks in d:\mymusic prior to me changing my settings are not in artist/albumn subfolders, so how will doing this actually put the tracks into sub folders in d:mymusic. Am I not fully understanding your instructions? From what you said I think that what I need to do is use Mediasource to delete everything from my PC Music Library and then copy everything from d:\mymusic back into my PC Music Library. Can you confirm that this is correct.
    I'll also look at the tagging programs and see if one of these can help me.
    Thanks again
