MicroPhoto Media Source is

I previously had a 5gig Zen Micro and just upgraded to a Photo. I installed all the stuff from the new CD, but now when I use Media Source, there are no Artist and Album window panes as there were with my Zen Micro. This makes it a big pain in the butt to sort through my files and make playlists. Is there any way to get these back? I could not find a way to do it. The weird part is that they show up when I view the music on my computer.

That is what I thought, but I was hoping there was another way.
Creative - The other way was easier and worked better. Having to jump through folders is a pain. What makes it wordse was that they were in folders on my computer, but when I uploaded them, they did ot show up in folders. When dealing with 700 songs, this is a pain.

Am I missing something or am I doing something wrong? I hilight that section in the menue bar but nothing happens. Can anyone help me with this issue?

  • Creative Media Source 5 Install Problems

    (Creative Media Source 5 Install ProblemsM I've looked through some of the other install issues and can't seem to find my problem, but apologize if this is somewhere I did not find... I had installed and have been running CMS5 on my desktop for a while. Recently I had to reformat my hard dri've and reinstall Windows from scratch. Upon trying to install CMS5 on my Windows XP SP3 system, I got a bunch of errors basically saying something to the effect of "Installation is unable to continue because of one or more unresolved issues....."? Then it lists a file TagMgru.mft. After cancelling that error, they continue to come up for Id3Tagu.mft, WmaTagu.mft, OggTagu.mft, Mp4Tagu.mft. The error message comes up twice for each of the listed files, and then the installation does not complete. Any ideas? I was using an install file downloaded from Creative's [email protected]

  • Creative Media Source takeover attem

    I have a Zen V Plus, use Windows XP, and have Creative Media Source and Windows Media Player on my desktop. I use Winpatrol to monitor my startup activities, and lately it has been popping up a msg that says Creative is trying to become the default .MP3 file association. I use Media Player for managing my music and audiobooks. I keep telling Winpatrol to not allow the change, but I would like to know how to get the attempts to stop. The wonderful folks at Creative customer support? have told me that my free period has ended, but they would be happy to take my money and attempt to give me an answer. They are not going to get any.

  • Creative Media Source won't install

    I just bought a Zen Microphoto and I was anxious to upload my songs on the forementioned player. However as I tried to install Creative MediaSource which I downloaded from this very site, I encountered a strange problem.
    I clicked on the setup and my PC proceeded to extract the files, and when the setup screen loads up, there's a message saying "Looking for previously installed components" and there are two setup screens minimized to my taskbar (CMS web installer and Creative Media Source - Install Shield Wizard) Whenever I click either of them nothing will happen. I'm pretty confused about this.
    I'm sure it's not my hardware because my PC is up to date and I never had problems of the likes. I browsed the forums for an answer and I've heard of a software conflict with quicktime, I followed the advices with no results. I'm pretty desperate right now and I can't wait to use my Zen MicroPhoto. Did anyone encounter a problem similar to this?

    Hi MusicoftheNight-
    I had a similar issue when downloading the PlayForSure software for my Zen Touch. What I ended up doing was something I found in another thread. Download the installer, then use Winzip or Winrar and make an archi've of it. Unzip or Unrar it to another folder and then go into each folder and run the setup icons individually.
    This is the only thing that worked for me.
    When I needed to update just Mediasource I installed it in safe mode.
    My computer is up to date and everything as well but this is the only thing that worked. Good luck!

  • Microphoto, media expl

    I have a problem with the zen microphoto 8gb. After I installed media explore, my windows explore got "not response" many times, I am sure creative media explore caused it, because after I removed this, my windows explore can work with no problem. How to solve this? Mine is windows xp pro. edition.

    Hello
    Got a Creative Zen V, and after software installation, Windows Explorer hanged even without the product connected to the USB port. The problem is avoided by un-installing the Zen V Series Media Explorer component (5.4.07), and using Creative Media Source to do transfers between the PC and device. But, indeed, I think Creative should make an effort to solve this problem.
    But surprise, even with the faulty component removed, I still get a My Computer\Creative Zen V entry on Windows Explorer, which is enough for my purposes, who needs the faulty extension? :-)Message Edited by barcarossa on 02-09-2007:05 AM

  • 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!

  • Zen Microphoto Media Explorer Playli

    Just recently bought a Zen Microphoto Media Explorer for my wife. I have had an old Archos Jukebox for years, and like it a lot, but its kinda bulky now. Anyway, when I want to create a playlist for the Archos, I use Musicmatch Jukebox, which gives a lot of options on how ro order the songs - things like Order by artist, by album/track, shuffle randomly, etc. The Creative Mediasource organizer doesnt seem to have these options, forcing you to drag and drop your tracks one at a time is you want anything else than the order they are on the computer - not good when you have 000 songs on your player. So I guess my question is - is there an easier way to manage playlists. Am I missing something on the Creative MediaSource product? Can I use Musicmatch or Real Player (or something else) to create my playlists and then take them across to the player - I notice the playlist I have created has a 'zpl' suffix while MusicMatch is 'M3u'. Is there a plugin that would help? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance

    Does the Micro have to be running MTP/PlaysForSure to use Real for playlist management?

  • 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?
