Mp3 player nomad zen x

I purchased this mp3 payer a year ago it worked find, then I had to disconnect my computer, now when I connect it to my computer it will no run even though I here it connect, but when I try to connect from the device icon or the creative program, it says it is not connected. What to do?

You can download a driver for the player on our Downloads page.
Before this error, did you go into Rescue Mode by any chance, and chose "Reload OS"? Or did you try to update the firmware? If you did, which firmware file did you use? Have you tried running a firmware update file with the player attached, since you got this error?

1st MP3 player, a Zen Touch and it wont

I just received a second hand Zen Touch, my first MP3 player woohoo!! not!!
Day
When the player first arri'ved I plugged it into my PC and I was able to view it as a separate dri've and could see all the files and songs that had been loaded good stuff, cool!!
I installed WMP on my laptop and thought I was off and running ripped a CD and tried to transfer it's hit Sync (wasn t sure I should do that but I assumed that s how to transfer) it says the device is FULL and I know it'ss not. (25.9 GB remaining) so I tried dragging items into the sync list, hitting start sync, and NOW it tells me there is not enough storage space on my computer err!!
Downloaded the manual because obviously I don t know what I m doing no help there just more confusion.
Day 2
Note:
I deleted about 000 songs and had also plugged the player directly into my PC speakers for external sound it worked so I hope I didn t damage it'sbecause the Zen dri've shows up on my PC still, but now empty...WHAT!! But its not all songs are still there and they play, I just can't view the files
Is there maybe a setting or something I may have unknowingly screwed up I really haven't done anything except delete some artists that aren t my cup of tea.
I installed Creative Media Source 5 Organizer from thinking that was the ticket, but still I get a message telling me that there is no Creative MP3 player connected.
The seller supplied a burned CD with the driver version .0.0.0 so
I reinstalled it'sstill nothing
Tried the Firmware, not sure what this is but it was on the disc so what the heck.
(Version ..3.0 and Plays4sure 2...0) but message says the player isn t connected go figure
I followed the article on checking my USB connection still nothing
Then I found this forum and searched it only to find similar problems with no solution .can someone PLEASE HELP a newby to MP3 players
Thanks

I could recommend a few things, but will not guarantee these are the solutions.
First off make sure that your computer is detecting the MP3 player, either as a device or even a hard dri've.
Second see if there should some sort of folder structure the player recognizes, some players have this annoying functionality, where there might be hidden folders with content (since used device).
This would be my guess, see if you have a virus scanner software that may have inadvertently or through some setting may have recognized or found some content in your MP3 player unsafe and may have quarantined it, surprisingly this does happen.
If none of these seem to help then do the most default solution. Reset the player to its original settings, should be some reset button or format the MP3 player. Unplug the device remove the drivers uninstall the software and then re-install them fresh.
This is what I can think of.

Mp3 player Creative Zen V plus sound recor

Regarding the Creative Zen V Plus Mp3 player, how do I get the sound recording function to record mp3's instead of wav. My player is nearly full and I can't afford to store so many Wav's. Also, how do I change the settings for sound recording on either the player or in Windows? Thx

Sounds like you have a bad or weak battery in your player. How are you playing your music? Are you using wins Media player or another player to play your music? Do you have the orginal Creative Zen V Plus CD Installation Driver? You might try and uninstall the drivers and reinstall them again. Just some things to think about. I am having a problem w/ my Zen V plus. Read my Post about my problems. (Help w/ Zen V +) Keep posting here for help. ODIE

Mp3 player creative zen vision m 30gb doesn t turns on

Hi!! I'm an italian girl!! I got mp3 player some days ago and it doesn t turns on... It turns on only when it s charging with the adapter... Can anyone help me please???

Leave it charging for a while to make sure the battery has enough charge. Also try resetting the player and perhaps update (or reload) the firmware to see if that hel
ps.
If it still will not turn on then, it is possible there is a problem with your player. It would be best to contact Customer Support in that case (check the "Support" folder of the installation CD for contact details).

Creative Mediasource Problems Organizing (Nomad Zen Xt

I would appreciate anyone's help or if anyone is having the same problems.
My MP3 player (Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra) works, and I just have a tiny discrepency. After downloading and installing all the new firmware and the latest plug and play and the latest version of Mediasource, I find that my experience using Mediasource isn't as comfortable as the older versions used to be.
My main problem is that when I connect my Nomad, it comes up in Mediasource as a bunch of files. Its shows up on the far left window and it's divided into two folders: Music and Playlists. It did not used to have this distinction. The problem is that when I click on the music and it finally loads up, the music isn't sorted and organized the way it is when I browse my PC MUSIC LIBRARY. There is no seperate windows for Artist and Album in the Nomad Music folder...and I remember having that before i updated all the software. I have to sort all my music in one big line rather than divide it up into artists and albums the way you can with your PC Music Library.
Also, playlists on the MP3 player are a hassle now too, because they show up as yet another seperate folder of the artist WITHIN the Music folder. This means I have duplicates of songs now in different albums on my MP3 Player without realizing it because if I have an album on my MP3 player, and then I make a playlist on my computer and send the playlist into my MP3 player, it puts the song in AGAIN, and I have all these unwanted duplicates. The only way to avoid this is to make a playlist within my MP3 player but I frankly find that to be an unpleasant hassle to go through all my music which is poorly divided and organized. It also won't let me upload tracks that have the same file name, such as a song from an album and then a li've version of the same song, with different tag information but a filename that is identical such as "Cherub Rock.mp3" even if they are from two differen albums and folders on my computer. It didn't do this in the older versions, but I can't use the older version because the new firmware doesn't work with the older version apparently.
I just want Mediasource to work the way it used too. Does anyone else have this problem? Can I organize the music on my Nomad in Mediasource any easier?

... For PlaysForSure version of firmware, the organization of the tracks in the device as seen in the PC software (MediaSource) will be by folders and not by Genre/Artist/Album. ...
Is there an way to get the Genre/Artist/Album views back once the PalysForSure version is installed? It seems like this is a giant step backwards for the CMS Organizer, especially since the firmware is presented as being an "upgrade".

MP3 Player doesn't work on my computer anym

Gooday,
after i have cleared my computer, my mp3 player, ( jukebox zen extra, 30 gb.) doesn't work anymore on my computer. As soon as i turn on my player, my mouse doesn't work anymore and my player doesn't work either.
Some ideas? I have new drivers installed, but still nothing. Forgive for my english, but i am dutch!
thank you for your help
greetings john

Sounds like a USB problem with the PC.
There are various things you can try, but as Cat suggests you should ideally check the player with another PC say a friend's just to be sure it's OK.
In terms of the PC, make sure you have the latest USB chipset drivers and BIOS for the motherboard, and that the player is connected directly to the PC itself not via a hub. Make sure to try all the USB ports on the PC.

How to repair creative mp3 player by yourself?? alyone,ple

"Name of Problem" : "headphone jack" problem (unstable sound quality,loosing left or right channel during listening)
"type of MP3 Player" : Creative Zen Micro
"When it happens" : all the **bleep** time i listen to it
now, my warranty has timed out (for 6 months now), and to send the device to service is well.. complicated for me..i had to send it to other town, so...has anyone with this "headphone jack problem" tried to fix it by himself?
For a start, how do you open CREATIVE ZEN MICRO at all?
anyone, please?

According to this post you may beable to RMA your Micro even if its past warrenty

*Read reply #4 by PartyNels
"As someone who has successfully sent my zen micro into Creative and had mine replaced. Yes you can fix it.Call Creative, tell them that your Zen Micro headphone jack is not working properly and that you have been on the forums and seen that many other people have been having the same problem. They told me that they were doing a recall on all zen micros if they are having this problem. So they will Gi've you an RMA, and you send it in. It all depends how bad of condition your headphone jack is. They might just be able to replace the jack. And don't worry, it doesn't matter if your warrenty is up, mine was and it seems like 6 months of use can result in this problem."
Couldn't hurt to try, or try again if you have already called. (Maybe a Moderator could Verify this.)
Also yes, there are instructions around on how to fix the problem yourself, but you will need to be handy with soldering, and have at least some Electronic know-how. Also don't expect to beable to RMA the thing after opening the case.

From an MP3 Player to my NEW Ipod?

I just made the jump from my old MP3 player (Creative Zen Jukebox Xtra 30 GB) to the 30GB Ipod. I want to transfer the 1100 songs that I have from my old MP3 Player to my Ipod. Is it possible to transfer these songs without having to lose any info or even downloading them all to my computer first?

Ok my problem is just like that other guy's. I have a Creative Zen Neeon 6GB but upgraded to a 30GB vid. ipod. I uploaded all my CDs to the iPod but I was still missing the files from the Zen. I went into iTunes and imported the files into the library, but when I tried to delete one from the Zen, it showed in iTunes that the files could not be found and i had to delete it from iTunes. How do I move it from the Zen to the Hard Drive to the iTunes? Step by step would be nice:) If you could help me as soon as possible that would be GREAT!

Did you try a disk cleanup from rescue mode?
also i remove my battery for a long time that will also erase all my songs anyone have this problem or know how to fix it i had this thing for about year and a half
No, removing the battery won't remove the songs. Be careful if you don't use your player for some time though. If you leave the battery like this in a discharged state it can be ruined.

Nomad Zen Xtra - Why is Media Player 10 Converting to W

When I copy MP3's to Zen Xtra using Media Player 0, it converts the MP3's to WMA and I lose the track information. Can I avoid this? My MP3's are encoded at 300k. I do not want to convert to WMA...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In WMP 0, go to Tools and select the Nomad in the Devices tab, then the Properties button. You'll now see Synchronize and Quality tabs. Select the Quality tab and uncheck "Convert files as required by this device"

How to transfer all music in my Zen Micro to either my PC or another mp3 player....help ple

i have a creative micro zen with about 000 handpicked and some very hard to find songs on it...i don't really have trouble with the player itself, just the software and the continous problems seems like everyone is having with something... my question is this..........if i wanted to get another mp3 player as a backup in case this one crashes, then what does everyone think about one of the smaller ipods? what about their software and such? and, if i do decide to get an ipod, then how would i transfer all these 000 mp3 songs onto the new ipod? would there be an issue with the fact that they are not bought from itunes?? would it not be safe to do that? and if it is okay to do that,? how would i transfer the songs back onto my PC, as i have tried everything suggested on this board recently in trying to do that using Mediasource and it just won't work even after downloading all new plugins etc. if someone has an idea about this, please let me know step by step if possible about how i can get these songs that are valuable to me from my zen micro, to my computer, and then onto another mp3 and if ipod (nano for instance) is a wise choice or if there is another player in the same category that others have found they have waaaay less problems with and better support/service with it's?any help anyone gives would be greatly appreciated!? i appreciate all the suggestions to my other questions as well!?thanks,barb

for a new mp3 player, i would get this one, its awesome (and the one i would get if i had a choice instead of my microphoto that broke)... here's a link
http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_YP_T9_4GB_black/4505-6499_7-3208083.html the 4gb one is $80, the 2gb one is $30... so thats cheaper than an ipod, and much better features and stuff

Creative Zen vision M 30 GB MP3 player does not resp

My Creative Zen vision M 30 GB MP3 player stopped working. It does not turn on, does not charge, does not respond to anything. Is the battery dead or what would be the problem. Please help.

There are a multitude of problems that could be causing your player to exhibit this behavior in addition to battery failure, including the failure of the main logic board. If the player has been dropped a few times, exposed to excessi've heat, or high humidity/water, the problem might not be the battery. On the other hand, if the battery has been allowed to fully exhaust on a regular basis and left uncharged for long periods, it is possible that the battery could be dead, but LIon batteries usually last at least 2-3 years with regular use and normal recharging practices if they haven't been abused.

Thoughts on new mp3 player "Zen&qu

I love the whole design/interface and I'm sure will continue to provide great video playback, music quality with customizable EQs, and good battery life. MY only issue is the space. I will definitely miss out on the 30gig hd space of the creative zen vision m's (I wanted to buy it, but it's not being sold anywhere). I think it was a mistake to discontinue it because people are still willing to buy. I don't mind the bulkiness of it compared to the ipod video because it excels at everything else.
I guess flash dri'ves are easier to work with for creative (Cnet says that Creative isn't making anymore hard dri've players).
So far the only creative mp3 player i've owned is the creative zen micro (5 gigs) so I was hoping for more space than 8 gigs (since i'll be watching some videos too).

No more hard-disk based players from Creative?
Well, with all the problems their hard disk players are facing, I don't blame them for making that decision. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones with a wonderful 30GB ZVM. 9 Months and still ticking beautifully, although I do admit that syncing is a pain in the ass sometimes as Window$ Media Player would randomly do stupid things like upload the same song twice into the player when I change album or artist name (I make stupid typos like that sometimes, or it would be because the FreeDB/CDDB/Windows Media Online entry has typos), and think that a file has already been uploaded previously even though it's already been deleted. Then again, that would be M$/WMP's fault.
Anyway, given how the price of flash memory has dropped, I think we would once more be seeing 30GB devices from Creative in the market in the near future. And they would not be as sensiti've to shocks, bumps and drops that plague any hard disk based players.
Psst, Creative, now that the product's abandon ware, care to tell us how to upgrade our 30GB ZVMs to 60GB? or enable USB host? Message Edited by RAMChYLD on 09-03-20072:9 AM
