Mono to FM Stereo on Creative Zen Microph

Hi I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I have just bought a Zen Microphoto. The radio seems to be stuck on mono. Can anyone tell me how I can get FM Stereo? Thanks

I think it depends on the radio station and how good of a signal you're getting that determines whether you get stereo or mono.

USB Car Stereo and Creative Zen To

Hi all,
I understand that plugging my Zen touch 20GB into a car stereo using its integrated USB port wont work. However, If I drag my MP3s into the Data storage section of my player (so it will be acting as a storage device), will they play through the car stereo with USB?
Thanks!

Amraam,
The Data storage section of the Zen Touch isn't of Mass storage class so I don't think it will work with your car stereo system assuming those stereo system work with mass storage class device.

Creative Zen Microph

Can someone please help me? I loaded all of the software for my Zen Microphoto a couple of days ago. Then, I loaded around 90 songs on it and everything was fine. However, a day later when I tried to add more music the program would not let me. It recognizes the MP3 player is connected but when I click on the folder that you drag the music into it has nothing there (even though I loaded 90 songs into it yesterday) but the music is still on the actual player. So, I tried to drag a file into the folder anyways and it said that there was an error and that type of file cannot work with this player, even though it did the day before. Now I am currently stuck with 90 songs on an 8GB MP3 player. Someone please help me!

I read somewhere that the 'root' folder of any player has a limited number of files it can hold.
Create a folder in your music player and then copy your 90 songs into it and then try adding more into that same folder.

Problems with creative zen microph

It works, but everytime I turn it on, it rebuilds the library. Also none of my PCs with find it or recongnize it, so I can not add any music to it. Help what do I do?

Have you tried going into Device Manager and updating the driver for the Micro? You don't actually have to install a driver update, you can just elect to use the driver that is already installed, and Windows will attempt to refresh the pairing between the installed driver and your specific player.

If you have RCA inputs on your stereo, just buy a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable and connect it that way. If not, buy an FM transmitter, connect it to the headphone jack on your Zen Touch, set it to a channel and then tune into that channel on the stereo's radio.

Creative Zen 32GB - Is it Dead?

Hi. I bought a Creative Zen 32gb Flash player in January 2009.
It was mostly OK for the first year or so. By then, it was almost full.
Last summer, it began crashing on me every so often. I assumed it was just because it was almost full, but as time went on it crashed more and more.
Sometimes it would play slightly garbled songs, almost like in the good old days when your cassette deck would chew up your D-90s.
When using the locking function, it would crash completely, requiring the judicious use of a pin to reset it.
Then it would crash when plugging it into headphones or the cable connecting to my AUX port on my car stereo.
The other day, it crashed and I thought - right, its been going a couple of years now, I'll back it up and then go into recovery mode, clean up the memory and then reboot, as recommended in the user guide. I tried backing up the player but it got about halfway through and crashed out.
I then thought to hell with it - I've got most of my music backed up anyway, and the clean up might not mess with it too much, so I tried to follow the cleanup instructions but everytime I let go of the Play button, it would crash out.
If I held the play button down, it would work, but the buttons are so close together, if I changed pressure on the play button while selecting "clean up", it would crash out. Still, I thought I'd managed it but it would not restart or dock, or pretty much do anything except let me go into recovery mode (while pressing Play, of course).
I then thought I'd just reformat the player - again, through the recovery menu since it would not dock with my PC (Win Vista, 32bit). That made no difference. It would not start, would not dock etc etc.
I then thought I would upgrade the firmware, downloaded it from Creative, and managed to get it to go so far, before it crashed out. And that's it - I can just about get it to start, sometimes, and then the screen will go black, or white, or red and black striped once. It will not dock at all. I can press reset as much as I like but the best I can get it to do is get to the recovery menu for a few seconds before crashing, or I can get it to display the Creative logo for a few seconds before, again, it crashes.
Its sat right now with a black screen and the blue light on. I cannot turn it off, or get any response from it at all.
So, is this now a dead mp3 player? Is it likely a hardware fault? If firmware/software, is there any way to fix this or should I just chalk this up to experience and accept that ?60 odd of mp3 player just isn't built to last very long?
And if its dead, what to replace it's I want Creative stuff to be better than it seems to be, and I am loathe to buy iPod. Sony? Wife has one and its fine, but not enough storage. Any recommendations?

I've had my Zen32GB for a year and have loved it up to this morning. I added a few photos to it and now its been stuck in "Rebuilding" for the last two hours. I can dock it and get into it, copy files, etc, but it will not play. I have been using a handy pin to reset it, then it goes back into Rebuilding. It doesn't appear to be a hardware problem as the buttons were working fine. A lost cause?
On the recovery mode screen, can you try doing a CleanUp>Reboot?

Creative Zen and in-car ste

Hi everyone!
I've bought Creative Zen recently (http://pl.europe.creative.com/produc...4&product=6999) and I tried to connect it to my car stereo. I have brand new car with iPod and USB support but after plugging my Zen into USB port the stereo says "No media". In the car stereo manual I found that it works only with storage with FAT6 and 32 file systems. It was also said that VHAPPTL sector should be placed at 52 or 2048 byte. I've been googling for any information about file system on Zen but couldn't find anything, about VHAPPTL either :/ Can anybody help me solve this problem?
mp3 player: Creative Zen with 2GB flash memory (no SD card inside)
car: Hyundai i30 Comfort with basic car stereo (without CD changer)
p.s. The very first thing I have done was upgrading Zen firmware but didn't help

I forgot to write that very simple Samsung mp3 player did work fine with the stereo set.

The new "Creative Zen&qu

Creative is came out with a new Creative zen. im not so sure if it out now or if its coming out soon.
but i was just wondering if anyone has it and can tell me if you can rotate the screen so it would be easy to click the buttons with your left hand...
the old muvo's alowed you to rotate the screen for better left handed controls so i was just wondering if i should spend the money on this.

"although it is a nice player it leaves Creative's current line-up with no large HDD player "?How much storage do you need? I could understand that if a player has hundreds of hours of battery life then having a huge storage capacity would be useful. With 25 hours for music or 5 hours for video, how many hours of entertainment do you need?
You're not thinking outside the box. Imagine having a collection of 300 albums connected to your home stereo. Without the hassle of sorting through hundreds of CD.
The convience of being able to travel with that collection anywhere you wanted, such as a school dorm, saving alot of free space in the room.
As for battery life, well you don't have to use a battery in every scenero, if you have it plugged into a stereo system then just use the AC Adapter.
Creative needs to start increasing the size of the HDD players an support lossless codecs.Message Edited by TimT on 09-25-200709:32 AM

Creative zen v and line in on 10.4

i have a creative zen v and an imac w/ 10.4 on it.
i want itunes to see the zen, but that wont happen.
i do have xnjb which sees the zen, but doesnt play the mp3s on it. it does let me copy mp3s from the zen to the imac which i dont want to do. i want the imac to play the mp3s from the zen.
the zen has a headphone jack. the imac has a microphone in jack. i want to play the songs on the zen, and run a headphone to headphone cable to the mic in on the imac and have the zen play the songs and the imac play what it is recieving from its mic in jack. anyone know how to do this? like what program plays mic line in?
thanks in advance.
imac 800mhz Mac OS X (10.4)
imac ? Mac OS X (10.0.x)
imac ? Mac OS X (10.0.x)
imac 800mhz Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Sorry but the iMac 800MHz doesn't have an Audio Line-In port; it only has a built in microphone, an Apple Pro Speaker connection, a mono internal speaker and a headphone port.
Personally I'd copy the mp3 from the Zen and then import them to iTunes so the device doesn't need to be connected.

Creative Zen Nano Plus audio line-in recor

Im planning to buy Creative Zen Nano Plus GB.
. Does Creative Zen Nano Plus audio line-in recoreder offer excellent quality of sound music when you record a certain music through a CD player's line-in?
2. Please rate the quality of recorded sound music from to 0.
3. Does the recorded sound quality the same as when you just download the music file through your PC's USB connection?
thanks.

Is there something I need to set in the player to allow it to play out of it's line-in function?
You connected the ZNP's headphone out to your car|shelf|portable stereo's line-in, right? The line-in on the ZNP itself is only used to record external audio sources onto the player. The stereos may need to be set to play back from their line-inputs if they don't detect the signal and switch automatically, but that should be explained in the corresponding manuals.

Major audio problems with Creative Zen Micro 6Gb... need h

I have had this device for about a year and a half. about a month or 2 ago, there has been problems with the headphone jack. If the base of the headphone cord (all 20 of them i tested) moved, the audio will either go mono-tone, or play a signle layer of the audio file, or no audio at all. although when applying pressure to it, it will play well. I do NOT want to not go hands free just to enjoy my music, so please help me out!
-Bash

Although a failed power switch is not unknown, I only recall seeing two or three other cases of this. It's not common.
If WMP isn't working with the device having v2 firmware something is wrong. Unfortunately this can be difficult to fix, but take a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
MediaSource won't detect the player if there's some issue e.g. WMP0 not detecting it. You can of course also try installing Zen Micro Media Explorer (Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update to be specific) which has MTP support.
Are you are presumably under guarantee, and as you bought from an Internet store, it's best to return it direct to Creative. Contact Creative Support to arrange this.

Creative Zen Micro - FM Radio Bro

Hi, I want to explain my bad experience with a Creative Zen Micro 6GB.
I bought it in late December 2005, and until now always worked fine.
Suddently, some days ago the Radio FM men? disappeared, as described in some other messages here in the forum. I've tryed to reset it, and to upgrade firmware again.
The upgrade procedure went fine, the reset/disk cleanup/format ecc. from Recovery Men? went fine too, but as final result the FM Radio doesn't work anymore at all.
Sometimes FM Radio men? appers, sometimes not (yes, randomly); moreover, when I try to enter FM Radio men?, the Creative Zen locks
I think I can't do anything else more, I already contacted Creative for support.
I already had nice experience with Creative support, so I don't worry too much; I'm just annoyed that a brand new product broke so soon...

just a straight stereo patch cable (like with the headphone jack on both ends)...from your player to the line in jack on your sound card. they are like 5 bucks at radio shackMessage Edited by flyer608 on 02-07-2005 2:50 AM

Creative zen vision:M video download probl

I have a new creative zen vision:m devise and I'm having real trouble downloading videos purchased from 7digital.co.uk and itunes. I'm able to convert videos that I either took with a digital camera or downloaded for free easily but wmv files will not convert. I get the error message that either the file is protected, not supported or missing codec directshow(r) despite the fact that the website and Creative user guide suggest that both wmv and mpeg4 files are compatible. Please help! I'm running windows XP

SOLUTION:
After lots of searching through the web, I have found this solution to our problems regarding transferring purchased video from 7Digital. This doesn't solve the mystery of the missing directshow codec (I haven't got a clue why VideoConverter thinks it is missing as I have just about every directshow/directX pack installed). This process involves making a copy of a copy of the video, but it looks fine to me:
) download and install the excellent freeware application ZD Soft Screen Recorder, available at http://all-streaming-media.com/recor...-recording.htm This is a brilliant resource which will allow you to record video from your computer screen and record the corresponding sound in the same file. It is totally legal as it merely copies an output and does not break any DRM.
2) Launch ZDsoft and queue up the purchased video in Windows Media Player. Play the video to see the area of the screen it occupies and check 'record specified area' in ZDsoft. Then click 'select an area' and use this tool to draw a border round the area of the screen occupied by the video. Make sure no toolbars or cursors appear inside this border, otherwise they will be recorded too.
3) In ZDsoft select 'AVI' as the output file, and choose the quality. DON'T choose WMV otherwise you will get the directshow error message again.
4) Make sure 'record sound' is checked and click the 'settings' tab next to it. Choose one of the 'stereo mixer' options. Select 'start' to begin recording. The window can minimise if you wish.
5) When the video comes to an end, right click the minimised window and click 'stop'. ZDsoft will then show you where it has saved the file and will ask you if you want to view it. If you select 'yes', make sure you have a media player set up to play .avi files. (Using an up-to-date real player as your default player for .avi files will result in the video then playing back in real player).
6) Launch Creative VideoConverter. Add the .avi file you have just made to the conversion list and connect your Vision M. Select 'next'. The output seems to be restricted to WMV at 320 x 240 resolution and I don't know how to change this, but this is perfectly acceptable. Select 'crop to screen size' and 'transer to player' (or you can transfer later using MediaExplorer). And voila, you have your video on your Zen Vision M!

Audiobooks on Creative Zen Touch???????????????

Hello
I recently got a Creative Zen Touch 40 gig. The help I request seems both simple and hard. Okay first let me explain that I got the Zen Touch because I wanted to listen to audiobooks. I already had a gig muvo for music files. The Zen was bought because I love audiobooks and I needed something with a larger storage capacity for the audiobooks. Now what I want to do is store both music files and audiobook files on the Zen. The problem is getting the Zen to play the audiobooks in the correct file order.
Please let me explain where I get my audiobooks from before I ask my main question. My audiobook files come from two sources: They are files made by me, from audiobooks I get from the public library where I li've, about 90 percent are ripped from CD's the rest are ones I convert from tapes with my computer. Secondly I get audiobooks from mIRC where I trade with others who like audiobooks. My question is how do I get the Zen to recognize these files? Most of these audiobooks contain anywhere from 28-0 CD's, ripped at 28-60 kbps and I have an audiobook library of over 250 audiobooks, which is why I selected the 40 gig Zen. I name my audiobook mp3 files like this
Sandra Brown - Envy - CD3 - 04 of 20
Stephen King - The Stand - 09 of 46
Michelle Feynman - Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From The Beaten Track - CD-0
So it is the naming goes Author ? Title ? CD# - Track#
I know that getting the Zen to play them in order has to do with the id tags, so can anyone recommend a program that can handle the job? Also as a side note how do I get organize the audiobook files on the Zen say for instance if I put 5 Stephen King books on there it looks like all the books are one album when I have put them on using the nomad explorer in their own folders i.e.,
Stephen King - The Stand (Complete Parts & 2 in stereo)
Stephen King - The Talisman (in stereo)
But when I go to organize the Zen all of the Stephen King will be under his name like they are all on album. I just got the Zen about 3 days ago and trying to organize it has been a BIG headache. Can anyone help me with this please?
Thanks

Do the files have tags already? If not you can pull the data from the filename into the tag using a program like Tag & Rename or The Godfather (Google to find these).
Both of these should also be able to autonumber the track number field of the tag, which governs order, which typically they do in filename order. For more on order see the "how to make sure tracks play in order" link in the FAQ post.

To have books under different albums you need to use the album tag to diffentiate between them. For example those for The Stand should have that, or similar, in the album tag.
