MP3 newbie - MuVo N200 Micro prob

Hello. I'm new to MP3 players and got my N200 Micro at the weekend. When I first listened to the radio, that was fine, I could scroll through the other settings, and I copied some tracks straight from my CD player using line out without problem. However, despite setting up the software and disconnecting the N200 as instructed, tracks transferred from my pc don't copy properly - they stick at 0.00... and when I listen, I just hear clicking.
The really worrying thing is that I've now lost all the functions - scroll doesn't work - and player won't even turn off unless I remove the battery!
I've only used this once - for about hour - and I followed the instructions so I'm at a loss to know what's gone wrong. Have I got a duff machine? Is there something I can do, or should I get a refund?
Help!

Thanks for the suggestion. Despite getting a message saying I already have this version, I've reloaded from the fw update link posted on this site. All I'm getting is the MuVo blue screen for approx minute and now the display reads 00.00.00 EN002 MP3 - pressing Scroll doesn't call up any options, eg Radio, and I still can't turn it off other than by removing the battery.
I'd be v grateful if you can suggest anything - otherwise I'll be asking Amazon for a refund PDQ.
Thanks.

Music Balance Problem -MuVo N200 Micro

I've had my MuVo N200 Micro (GB) for about a year now and its been fine all this time. But recently is had a problem where certain tracks will only play in the right earphone. I've change earphones, unloaded and reloaded all my music and its still the same. Some tracks are OK, but most of them play on right phone at reduced sound level. I don't think anything is physically wrong with it. Can anyone help me out here?
Many thanks

To put the player in recovery mode, you first need to have the driver installed on your pc. Use the link I gave to download the driver. Next you need to remove the battery from the player, and hold down the start button while connecting the player to the pc. Don't let go of the start button until the player is recognized by the pc.

Review about n200 micro - in polish! generally - bad it

PozdrawiamW czwartek kupi?em w Media Markt muvo n200 micro 28 MB - za 79 z? (taka jest cena w MM zar?wno n200 jak i v200 28 MB), do tego 24 miesi?czna gwarancja. Odtwarzacz przetestowa?em do dzi?, oto moje osobiste wra?enia:Musz? stwierdzi?, i? niestety odtwarzacz troch? mnie zawi?d?. Oczekiwa?em czego? wi?cej. Jako? muzyki nie jest tak osza?amiaj?ca, jak si? mo?na by?o spodziewa?. Wcze?niej u?ywa?em jako odtwarzacz mp3 siemensa sl45i - i my?la?em, ?e poprawa b?dzie zauwa?alna-niestety nie.Radio-tu tez si? zawiod?em.Wroc?aw to wojew?dzkie miasto, niestety, poprawnie radio mog?em odbierac tylko stoj?c w miejscu. Poruszaj?c si? (id?c, nie biegn?c) przerywa?o czasami; dotyczy to nie tylko lokalnych stacji, ale tak?e takich gigant?w jak RMF FM i ZET. Ta sama sytuacja w Legnicy. W miejscu -jest ok; idac, biegn?, jad?c wind? - ju? gorzej. Pzzechodz?c przez przej?cie podziemne-same szumy. Kiedy? mia?em do swojej slki do?czane radio z przyciskami "scan" i "reset"-i lepiej ono odbiera?o stacje w Legnicy ni? n200. Tam jad?c samochodem, mog?em pos?ucha? RMF FM, MuVo znalaz? w Legnicy zaledwie 4 stacje (autoscan), do tego podczas jazdy samochodem wyst?powa?y lekkie szumy. Wyj?cie USB - to w n200 kompletne nieporozumienie pod wzgl?dem ochrony. Jest to wyj?cie micro USB, kt?re ochraniane jest gumow? klapeczk?. Na pewno ta cienka, gumowa klapeczka odpadnie - tym bardziej, i? USB cz?sto si? uzywa i trzeba ja odgina?, by w?o?y? kabel. Nie wiem, kto wymy?li? ten spos?b zakrywania USB, ale wyobra?ni nie mia?. A w?tpie, by uznali to na gwarnacji, bo powiedz?, i? to uszkodzenie mechaniczne...Rzeczywista pojemno? odtwarzacza to 20 MB.
Zaskoczy?o mnie za to wyj?cie line-in. Okaza?o si?, i? jego jako? jest ca?kiem dobra, lepsza, ni? si? spodziewa?em. Tak samo dyktafon - zgrywa czysto i ?adnie. To moje opinie na temat tego odtwarzacza. Mo?e pochopne - ale spodziewa?em si? czego? wi?cej, tym bardziej po Creative. Wczoraj wystawi?em owe n200 na allegro-sprzeda?em je dzi? za 90 z?. Tyle mego szcz?scia.Podsumuwuj?c - nie polecam n200. Radio-nie ma na co liczy?. Wej?cie USB-klapka to pora?ka. Jako?c dzwi?ku nie a? taka osza?amiaj?ca. Samo wyj?cie line-in nie rekompensuje tych wad.

Recharge batteries with MuVo N200 Mi

hy guys,
i'm a new subscriber of this forum. I have a Creative MuVo N200 micro and i haven't yet understand if i can recharge my batteries connecting my MuVo to pc with usb.
Can you reply to my question.....
Thank you all

It does. It runs off the USB power while connected, so there's no need to worry about battery power loss.
I've got rechargeables for my N200, 800mAh ones, though I'm not sure how long they last in one go, last me about a week listening for a few hours a day

I really need help with my creative MuVo N200 mp3 pla

i got my MuVo N200 mp3 player for chirtmas of last year, and it stopped working in 3 months. it used to shut off every few minutes and the mic doesnt work any more and i cant record music from the radio. right now it doesnt even work for a minute, it shuts off as soon as i try and turn it on. i emailed creative when it first started happening and they sent me a email saying what to do on there website, something about downloading something. i tryed it and it didnt work, im not sure if i didnt do it right. And right now i have no idea what to do. and creative won't help me unless i pay them money to fix it for me which im not about to do. has anyone have the same problem with the MuVo N200 mp3 player? what am i suppose to do to fix it's I still have there email telling me what to do, but i just dont get how to do it and if it will work. It only worked for me 3 months, and now im mad and thinking about buying a new one thats not from creative but i really want to try fixing it again to see if it will work. please help me.

Good question, unfortunately I have absolutely no idea. Reflashing/-formatting generally takes care of the usual cases of wonkyness this player develops, and there isn't anything more drastic you as a user could do.
Do you have a directory named "Recorded Tracks" on your player? Should be created automatically, but if it isn't you could try creating it manually...

MuVo N200: WAV plays fine, MP3 gives corrupted so

Hi,
My MuVo N200 plays WAV files fine, MP3 files play, but give corrupted sound. The following other remarks can be made:
- FM radio plays fine
- recorded FM radio or microphone play both ok (both WAV files)
- if I connect the N200 to my PC and I double click an MP3 file under Removable Disk, the sound is absolutely ok, so the MP3 files itself are not corrupted!
Anybody any idea?
Thanks,
Ton

Ton,
Can you rip some new tracks from a CD to the player, and see if they have the same problem?

MP3 MuVo N200 direct encod

I just bought a MuVo N200 today. One of the reason that I got it was that it has the direct recording/encoding function.
However, I have tried with various stereo sets at home, my hi-fi to DVD/CD players, it seems that either the recording was not good or I cannot put the plug into the socket (line out - from Hi-Fi stereo).
Can any one help me on this? Or is the direct recording good fot small discman or walkman?
This is what I did:
hi-fi stereo - Line out (typically 2) Left or Right. I plugged into Right. I tried and the recording was okay. But when I listen, only side of my ear piece has the music.
Please advise and thank u!

Hey guys, wake up!
Maybe there is a reason to use the line in for direct encoding, such as record li've-recordings from radio, TV, rehersal-rooms or copy old Vinyl-LP or other....
Line out from the stereo should be ok, but if the volume is too low, you may want to try the Tape-out on your amplifier. And you should use a Steres-phono to Stereo mini-jack cable. If you only record to one side, it could be the Cable, the Amplifier line out or the mp3 line which is broken in one side.Message Edited by oelund on 04-04-2005 0:9 PM

Muvo N200 - Searching Through BIG MP3 fi

A positi've note in a sea of grumblings !
I have copied a 4 hour MP3 file onto the Muvo N200 and it took just over 30 seconds to search through to get to hour in. I am pretty impressed by this. It seems to handle big MP3s no problem too - this one is encoded at 92 KBPS and is 330Mb in size.

Out of interest, do you get any visual indication of where you are in the file?

Muvo N200, 1GB installation prob

I made the mistake of connecting the Muvo to my computer before
installing the software. Not a good idea. Even after installing
the software the device manager keeps on indentifying the Muvo
as an "Unknown device". I then tried installing it on my wife's
computer in the proper order and the Muvo was recognized properly.
But I want to install it on my computer. Unfortunately all my
system restore points were overwritten by my many install attempts,
so now I am sunk. I've got to figure out how to fix the damage
manually. Even removing the device using the device manager,
uninstalling the software, reinstalling in the proper order,
and finally connecting the MP3 player doesn't work. When I plug
in the MP3 player itstill recognizes it only as an unknwown
device.

It did work on other computers, so as you pointed out, it was
clear the problem was not with the Muvo N200. I tried updating
the BIOS and all the MotherBoard related drivers. Then I removed
all USB stuff via the Device Manager and let XP put it all back.
... Plugged the muvo back in ...
Drat. It just says "Unknown Device" and does not show another
disk dri've.
> and you could try creating another user account ...
Tried that too. Same problem
> Try using other available USB port ...
The four main USB ports on the MBD back panel were all
in use so I had been using one of the four USB ports on
a PCI add-in card I installed to give me more ports.
I tried switching to the USB ports on the front of the
computer (which are cabled to an aux USB connector on
the motherboard). Same deal - unknown device. (This is
getting old).
Finally I tried unplugging my digital camera base unit
from on the the four main USB ports on the MBD back panel
and I plugged my Muvo N200 into that. Instant Recognition!!!
A new disk dri've appears, and it even knows that it is a
Create Muvo. So then I plugged my digital camera base unit
into the USB add-in card and it works just fine too. (It
also shows up as a disk dri've).
So now all is well except for my fragile understanding.
Here I thought all USB ports were created equal (well except
for the ver verses ver 2 thing). But clearly on my computer
they are not. Perhaps there is someting wrong with my MBD
or its setup that causes this.
Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions, especially since
I don't think I would have figured it out on my own.

Muvo N200 prob

I have a muvo n200 which for the past few days has turned itself off when ever i tried to increase up the volume. I tried to resintall the latest firmware upgrade but now my player has stopped working. When I turn on the player all i get is dots on the lcd screen with the backlight on. I tried to reinstall the firmware again and the firmware cant find the player connected to the computer, although windows explorer detects the device. Please can you help. Thanks in advance.
Model muvo n200 GB
Computer dell optiplex gx270
windows 2000 service pack 4

If it's recognised on the PC, try formatting it first and then try updating the firmware again. If you can try the player on another PC, try updating the firmware there to see if it works.
Otherwise it would be best to contact Customer Support for assistance, the player could be faulty.

Muvo N200 freezing & sounds prob

I've had the Muvo N200 for three weeks now without a problem until the past three days. At first, when I'd turn it off, the screen would freeze and there would be an annoying sound that wouldn't stop. The problem would be temporarily solved when I removed and re-inserted battery or inserted a new one. The player turns on fine, but the same thing would happen again if I tried to turn it off again. But after a while, the thing would freeze and the sound would come back when I try to go to the menu or turn it off. When I turn it on, the player starts playing a random song at a random volume number.

Did you install the new firmware?

Muvo N200 FM Radio - no stereo so

I have a Muvo N200 52GB with latest firmware (.2.0).
The only problem I have with it is that the FM Radio sound output is mono even if the display indicates stereo reception.
I can achieve stereo sound if I pull out the headphone jack a little way but the connection is not secure if I do this and I don't have to do this to listen to WMA/MP3 music.
This could be down to firmware but I have only seen one other post with this problem.
I will try to reflash just in case but would appreciate any other suggestions.
In my opinion, even if FM reception is mono, sound output should still be directed to both right and left channels and not just one (left channel in my case).

Obviously the player is faulty as even if it's in mono you will get output from both channel. You can try reinstalling the firmware on the player and see if that helps just in case. If not, you should return to creative and get it repair.
