MediaSource vs Windows Media Pla

Do i need to update Windows Media Player if i want MediaSource to work Properly, befor i update MediaSource via the AutoUpdate?Message Edited by audiogy2newbie on -04-200605:35 PM

LOSSLESS:
Are there any LOSSLESS codecs available so my Creative components recognize FLAC or SHN or APE, etc.... ?
Or is this another WAY-BEHIND-the-TIMES Creative aspect of my X-FI Platinum money waster?
By the way, I get Crackle, Pops, Shotgun Blasts, Screamers, ASIO issues, etc... and I have a basic Intel 945gcz mobo. I am surprised no one has lost hearing when listening to this card and one of these extreme audio glitches lights up their speakers or headphones. I know I have gotten some bad ear ringing from one of those high-pitched squealers that I get while playing games with this card.
Its interesting to read this forum and see that apparently a very large majority of the owners/users of the X-Fi series have had some sort of reoccurring problem with it.
Its funny how CL seems to put the blame on the customer?
Maybe it is our fault, for purchasing the X-Fi card.
The new drivers were a band-aid at best. Create competent drivers, or repair the card, or recall the card, or refund the card.

Zen Micro is 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

Strange that WMP doesn't detect it, presumably you have v0? Worth checking the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post and installing the hot fixes.
Also make sure you have the latest software with MTP updates, by downloading and installing the following:
. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
2. Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices
3. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
Before installing connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 and 3 (the player must be connected for to verify you have a Creative product).

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.

Mediasource or Windows Media Play

Just purchased my Zen Micro and looking for some advice. I loaded MediaSource to organise my MP3s etc but it seems to do the same thing as Windows Media Player. Any advice on which I should use - I want to do the normal things - rip my CDs, organise my mp3s, purchase music online and sync with my Zen Micro. Any thoughts much appreciated....Many thanks, Confused Helen!

I use subscription music service (Yahoo Music Unlimited To Go) so I use that to manage my player rather than Creative Media Source or Windows Media Player.
The Yahoo Music Engine allows you to rent music, create playlists, rip CDs to MP3 and sync music and album art to compatible Creative Players.
I use it with a Creative Zen Vision M, Creative Microphoto, and a Treo 650 with PocketTunes.

im gettin a mac desktop and i wana copy al the music of my creative zen touch 20gb onto it. now i kno that creative mediasource wont work on a mac (stupid really), and that the plugin for itunes isnt about anymore, at least not wher i can find it. so i was gna download a version of WMP for mac, but can i use WMPlayer to transfer music back?or is there another way which im missing?!

No Player Detected for my Zen V Plus, and I don't have Windows Media Pla

I don't get it, I went to uninstall Windows Media Player , since that is what every one says is the reason my computer isn't recognizing the Zen V Plus, but I don't even have it on my computer. What else can I do? I am not so PC friendly I have to admit, I work on a IMAC at work and just barely tolerate the PC that we have at home. Any suggestions before make a trip to the Apple store and pic up an IMac and IPod?

I bought my daughter the Zen V Plus for her birthday because we were getting tired of the Sony Walkman mp3 player only playing their format (atrac3). It made it hard to get music off the net that was mp3 format. It does not convert well. Anyway, we followed the install directions to the letter. It took all day (over 5 hours) to get this set up and music INTO it.
Turns out, while Windows Media Player transfers music to the player just fine, the Creative Media Source is junk. It does NOT recognize the player so you can not transfer music to the player. The Sync Mangager just wants to add EVERY song in your computer to the player and the Creative Media Explorer doesn't know what to do. I have used Sony Connect, iTunes and Windows Media player. All require program to transfer music. Why does this tiny player need so many programs? Why not one GOOD one to organize, burn, sync? It's like non of these programs can talk to the other one. To use the Media Explorer we had to re-create a playlist we already had in the MediaSource program. Also, I miss the easy - 2 - 3 of the Sony/iTunes/Windows Media Player.
MediaSource requires like 5 steps to organize the music list the way you want it (by song, artist etc). Other programs you just click on the column title and it organizes it just like that.
?I have decided for our own sanity (lost of profanity and tears just trying to get music into the player today) that we would just use Windows Media Player 0 from now on. My only complaint about using Windows Media Payer 0 to organize and transfer music is that I don't know how to make it tell me what is already in the player when I want to add/delete or change the music around.
?Does anyone know what program has to remain on our computer to run the Zen V Plus? Can I remove the dead MediaSource? Will the player still charge without it's?

Zen Touch No Longer Recognized By Windows Media Pla

My Zen Touch stopping being recognized by Windows Media Player today. I still see the MTP connected icon in the task tray and I still it listed without a warning in Device Manager, but WMP doesn?t recognized that it is attached. I?ve tried different USB ports and a different USB cable. There are no errors in the application log. I reformatting my device and run the cleanup option, but I still can't WMP to see the device. The only changes I can think of is installing IE7 Beta 2 and installing MusicMatch. I?ve since uninstalled MusicMatch, but I still have the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or there a way I can increase the logging so I can get a better idea of what might be failing.

Hi Ted
I deleted the file and reconnected my device and it quickly grew to 600kb. I'm not sure exactly what you need and there didn't seem to be anything interesting at the end of the log, but I did find the following lines which, from what I can, is from the point when WMP tried to establish a connection with the device and failed.

Creative and Windows Media Pla

Hi- I'm looking in to getting a MP3 player soon and am currently on bouncing between the iPod 20GB, Creative Zen touch or Zen Micro- I'm mainly concerned with battery life and the sturdiness of the player (and the radio feature on the creatives sounds great too)
My question is regarding using Windows Media Player with the Creative Zens.. I read somewhere that it is compatible with these players, does anyone use this program with your mp3 player? I really like WMP (so much more than iTunes) and would prefer to use that to the other programs Creative offers with its players.

Zen Touch not detected by Windows Explorer though recognised by Windows Media Pla

I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem to this:
I am running Windows ME and my son has just received the player for his birthday.</LI>
Unfortunately the CD that came with the player caused this computer (and another) to lock-up so faulty CD assumed.</LI>
Loaded drivers from internet.</LI>
Camera and memory sticks all recognised by Windows Explorer but NOT the Zen Touch.</LI>
Now the surprise the Zen Touch IS recognised by Windows Media Player and my son can transfer files using that - but it is a VERY slow way of loading files and we would much prefer to use Windows Explorer.</LI>
Anyone any suggestions as to how to make Windows Explorer detect the Zen Touch?

The Touch is only recognised through Windows Explorer by virtue of installing Nomad Explorer.
Certainly make sure you have the latest version of this from the downloads page, you mentioned you have the latest drivers already.

Zen VPlus recognized by Vista, but not by windows media pla

Hello,
my zen VPlus is recognized by vista (in device manager it is in "Portable Devices") , I can also find it in Windows Explorer.
However, it doesn't show up in windows media player in the sync section; if I deconnect the zen and I reconnect it back, I can see the message "detected my zen" on the lower side of wmpl but I still get the picture "connect to a device" above.
Any idea ? The last firmware has been installed and I can directly copy files with Windows Explorer.

You need to install iTunes in order to install the necessary drivers.

MuVo V200 - Need advice on how to play recorded files using Windows Media Pla

Hi
I bought a V200.
Transferred the recorded audios to my hard disk but can't get windows media player to play it. Error message of: codecs needed.
It was recorded as a WAV file.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Apparently you are committed to certain hardware. There is no question that the SSD should be installed in the current HDD bay. Should you choose to have a second HDD, it should be installed in place of the DVD drive. Note that some early 2011 MBPs had SATAII connections to the DVD drive and some had SATAIII connections (presumably later production models).
I do not run Windows on my MBPs but I do know that parallels is a resource hog. On that basis, I suspect that it should be installed on the SSD where you can take advantage of the faster processing. The SSD will be electrically more efficient than than a HDD. If you have concerns about battery run time, then do not install the HDD in place of the DVD drive. I do not know if there are third party applications that allow user intervention for controlling a HDD in the DVD bay. You might search for same. If there is, then the argument of installing it there becomes a stronger one.
You will have to assess your own work flows to determine what impact it has on the configuration options. Since I do not know them, I cannot comment on that.
Ciao.

No sound on windows Media Pla

Hi,
I have the Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card and have recently installed vista.At first I had no sound at all then I installed the beta2 drivers. This restored sound albeit to a very basic level.At first I could play music via windows media player and media centre but then suddenly this stopped. It looks like it is playing but I get no sound. The only way I can listen to music now is via Winamp.Has this happened to anyone else and if so have you resolved it and how? Any suggestions?
Cheers guys.

Hi,
thanks for replying. How do i roll back on Vista?
I haven't had or saved any restore points so not sure what to do.
No joy on winamp. Like i said media centre works fine when i want to watch files from hard drive but no sound on tv tuner even though i get a picture.
I've tried changing sound speaker settings but stil doesnt work.
Any other ideas?

Windows Media Pla

Hello,
I am going to use WMP to transfer songs but there is a problem. For some reason when i play a cd on WMP it wont play well it does but no volume so when i transferd it to the micro no volume came out. Anybody now how to fix WMP so i can get volume. I dont now why i cant. Please help

I know this is going to sound dumb... but did you check in control panel/sounds and audio devices/... click the advanced button on the volume tab, and turn the volume up... that's the only thing I could think of... other than the Windows media 0 volume... you could also try "install new hardware" to see if your soundcards are all installed properly, other than that and updating windows media player... I don't see what else you could do... Hope I helped.

Help Windows Media Pla

Please Help. I'm so frustrated. I am trying to transfer my music from windows media player version 0 on to my MuVo 200 gb. Everything on the computer screen seems to work when I start sync and it looks as though it is transfering on to my mp3 player as it lists everything as being transfered on it but when I take my mp3 player out of the usb port on my computer it says it has no music on it. I bought this mp3 player as I was told it plays windows media player and I don't want to have use different software to manage my music files.

Tracks loaded on to MuVo won't play if they are loaded with Windows Mediaplayer 0, I believe they will with Mediaplayer 9, I spent half of yesterday trying to figure out why I couldn't see any songs but could see other files and realised it was anything downloaded with WMP0, it also made the computer behave erratic, the only remedy was to use the supplied Creative software.

Soundblaster Connect and Windows Media Pla

I am delighted with Creatives Soundblaster Connect, but here's my problem. I can Rip, Burn, and record from Cassette tapes as normal on Creative,?all tunes etc are?duplicated on Windows media Player. whilst I can Play and Burn tunes OK on Creative, I suffer a -2 sec "Hiccup" when listening and burning CDs on Windows Media Player, has anyone had this problem? or perhaps can suggest a cure, or does Mr Gates, dislike Creative!! Can someone help. The "Hiccup" occurs during the last 20 sec of each track..Cheers...Hamfist

no. it doesn't. I have just bought one and tried the same thing. The spec says it plays mp3 320kbit files.
