MediaSource Organizer - system cr

Allways when I try to open one special folder in which i have my downloaded files (soulseek), the media source player/organizer breaks down and it is not possible to start it again until I remove it in the windows taskmanager.
When I import the files in the music library it works, the problem occours only when I try to open folders that are not in the music library.
After this crash it is not possible to navigate through the "workplace" until a new installation of Media source. In the right window is only shown the content of the folder that I tryed to open.
Would be great, if somebody could help me!
I'm sorry for my terrible english

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 Performance

Looking for some help or feedback regarding the performance of the MediaSource Organizer for my Wireless SB. I have a rather large library (better than 20,000 songs) and it is incredibly sloooow. I have downloaded and installed all the latest upgrades, drivers, and firmware, but it wasn't much help. The remote searches through the songs just fine, but the Organizer is just way too slow. It makes setting up a playlist next to impossible.
I would like to keep the unit, so does anyone have any suggestions out there? Thanks in advance!

Hi
Yes, it's a limited organizer (and not the only, believe me).
I have tried many of them (J.Ri'ver Media Center .0 is said to be a good choice (has ASIO support too)).
I've been using Pinnacle Systems/Steinberg's - myMP3PRO 5.0 now couple of years and I'm happy with it.
It's really FAST compared to MediaSource Organizer (of cource have tested it with only
~0 000 file library).

Mediasource Organizer has stopped working

Hi
I am having a problem with Mediasource Organizer version 2.0 with a Windows7 system. The organizer worked fine until about a month ago and I have been trying to troubleshoot it ever since. When I open the organizer the library is missing in the window and if I click on any part of the window an alert opens and says "Mediasource Organizer has stopped working" and the organizer window closes.
I have searched and searched trying to find out what has changed to no avail. I have tried uninstalling the program and Windows or something won't let me. I have tried downloading Organizer 5, but is fails to install. Would 5 not install because the earlier version is still there?
I am completely perplexed and have little idea what to do next. Does anyone havea possible solution? Thank you in advance....... Glenn

I'm wondering why my computer thinks I have a "Creative Gameport" device, when there is not actually a physical gameport connector on the card (Audigy 2 ZS).

Zen Micro is NOT detected by Creative MediaSource Organizer or Windows Media Pla

Well, I have read through a good part of the message forum and have found nothing to help my case and I believe, truly believe that I have tried everything!

My Zen Micro is detected by my computer and when plugged in I am prompted by MTP Media Player to
Launch Windows Media Player and synchronize files </LI>
Take no action</LI>

If choose to launch Windows Media Player it does not detect the portable device
If I choose to take no action and launch Creative MediaSource Organizer instead, the device is still not detected.

I have checked my Device Manager and it says that the device is working properly, drivers are installed (this is the most common problem ? but for me this is the part that is working correctly).

When I open the Zen Micro Media Explorer it tells me that the device is not connected. I cannot transfer music files with Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource because both programs do not detect the Zen Micro.

I should note that the Zen Micro does work properly on another computer in my household.

Can someone please offer suggestions?
Thanks

Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
I got it working now!
I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

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.

MediaSource Organizer closes after it opens upon detection of the Zen Sle

Basically, i plug in the USB for my Zen Sleek, and then Creative MediaSource Organizer opens for a second then closes instantaneously. I don't know why this is happening. I look under processes in my task manager and i find CTCMS.exe running and so i try to end task it, but it will not let me. The only reason i find this would be happening is because i recently (just today) installed a new Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card. Is there any way of fixing this problem? And by the way, if i do need to uninstall/install the MediaSource Organizer again, will all of my playlists be deleted? (took me a looong time to get those playlists organized)Message Edited by mdjstudios on 2-3-2005 03:52 AM

I am pretty sure that it is caused by the Audigy 2 drivers. I have seen other users having the same problem, and have fixed the problem by updating their Audigy 2 drivers. You should update your Audigy 2 drivers. Let us know if it works for you.
And don't worry. The playlist will not be deleted when you unintsall MediaSource. The entire PC Music Library, including playlists are kept intact.

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).

However, when I try to explore the content of my jukebox in the organizer, instead of listing the contents on a track-by-track basis, I am presented with a standard windows-explorer style screen, with the contents listed by folder. This doesn't occur when I explore the PC music library.How can I restore the original view, which allowed me to explore my mp3 player on a track-by-track basis, and allowed me to sort by genre?
That's how it works when you have the PFS firmware (2.0.03) loaded.

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 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 is missing a dll-f

When I try to start my Creative Mediasource Organizer (CRM), I get an error saying "CTCMS.exe - the component wasn't found. This program couldn't start, becaus CTHml.dll wasn't found. It is possible, that the problem can be solved by reinstalling the program" (a bad translation from Danish - sorry (-: )I've tried reinstalling the program, but it didn't solve the problem. Has anyone got a solution?Best regardsMads

IceMan,
You can install the CDRW database update for the MediaSource. That should fix your problem. Go to the driver download page and do a search for this filename - CDBD_PCApp__00_05.exe

'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
