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.

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.

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

MuVo N200 problem with playba

I have an older MuVo N200. I have transferred some of my class notes to it and it had done just fine so I transferred some musice to it as well. It played back very well for about 2 days and now it is just a high pitch squelling:angry:. I have lost some of the songs that my daughter has sung because it has garbled and destroyed them ? Any way I would just like to know what is going on. I have deleted the music and?transferred it again and it works just like it is supposed to and the play back will be fine the first time around then... sounds that remind me of really, really bad radio station static. Any ideas? Help is appreciated.

I suggest reloading the firmware. This will also reformat the player, so everything stored on the player will be lost. Make sure you have copies on your pc first. Search the forum for detailed instructions about how to reload the firmware.

MuVo N200 - problem loading mu

I've been spending the last hour or so trying to put new songs onto my MuVo N200 (GB), and after a while this error message started showing up when I tried to put a new song on.
<IMG src="http://pictures.greatestjournal.com/userimg/5537928/65009">
I have 2 MB left on my player, and the file is less than 5 MB.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Sorry, thought I had gone through all of them. I'll try doing a more thourough search next time.
I did find the answer to why I couldn't load any more music onto my player, and it was the same reason I couldn't record anything.
Thanks for making me double-check. :robothappy:

MuVo N200 - help me, its de

I have a MuVo N200 player (28) and I used it for 6 months with no problem. Then my PC was formatted and before I reinstalled the software, I connected the player. After that it stopped working and when I connect it to the USB port, it just shows some display that it is connected.
Net I tried re-installing the software, but strangely the driver is not getting installed and now the device is also not gettign detected on the PC.
Even tried Device Manager but it shows no driver installed. I downloaded the following drivers from the internet but nothing happens as the player is not getting detected:
MuVoN200_PCFW_LF__20_04.exe
MuVoN200_PCFW_L4__5_0.exe
MuVoN200_PCFW_LB___0.exe
What do I do? Pls help!

Please download the recovery mode driver and install it first:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=23&Product=0&dlcentric= 7954&Product_Name=MuVo+Micro+N200&OSName=Windows+X P
Now, remove the battery from your player. With the battery removed, hold down the Play button and connect the USB cable. Wait for Windows XP to detect your unit. It will take longer then usual, and the device will most likely have a STMP or STAC name right now. Let go of the Play button.
Install the firmware update:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=23&Product=0737&dlcentr ic=947&Product_Name=MuVo+Micro+N200&OSName=Windows +XP
Be sure to tick "Format Data Area". Due to flash memory corruption, your music was already lost before you started. It is likely that you will receive a warning that the flash memory is not initialised. Accept it and continue.
Once this process completes (the Close button will become acti've), you still need to format your MuVo dri've in FAT32.
If you receive any error messages, be sure to write them down.
If this procedure does not make the N200 usable, you will need to contact customer support and ask for an RMA. Feel free to describe that you have tried a firmware upgrade in recovery mode. They will want to know what error messages you received in this process.
Note that the RMA procedure only applies if the unit is less then 2 months old.

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 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.

Muvo N200 switching o

Hi, My Muvo n200 switches off when I scroll through my music folders. I have had the player for 3 days and it was ok at first.
Now when I switch it on, go to skip folder and scroll through the folders it just switches its self off.
It is not the battery. Also some times I switch on and light comes on , I get the CREATIVE logo followed by muvo n200 logo then it switches off .
Is there a fix for this problem or do I have a dud ?
I can scroll through the options menu ok.
Thank you for any help.
Mike

Mike,
Try formatting it and loading the new firmware onto it. If it's still the same, you should contact Customer Support as there could be a problem with your player.

MuVo N200 and Mac

Hi, hopefully someone can help me?!
I've recently got a MuVo N200. I'm having a bit of trouble adding songs to it though, and am wondering whether it's because I have a Mac instead of a PC. It does seem to work with iTunes, as I have managed to add some songs, but for some reason, it won't let me fill the memory. It gets so far, and then won't add anymore. It tells me 'there is not enough room on media module "built-in" to copy all of the requested files', and refuses to add anymore, yet the display shows that the memory is nowhere near full.
It was suggested to me that perhaps certain files were corrupt, as some songs could be added, while others not. However, after deleting all tracks and trying again (on several different occasions), songs which hadn't previously worked, did, while others which had, didn't. All very confusing.
If anybody knows of what I'm talking about, and might be able to tell me what the problem could be I'd be really grateful.
Thanks.

I am not a Mac user, but I had a similar problem when I first started transferring files to my MuVo N200. I was only able to store up to around 450 MB to 460 MB of music files out of 52 MB. When I used the customized "Explorer" program that Creative offers for Windows, the problem was resolved. Does the MuVo N200 include any Mac software? Anyways, hope someone can help you get around this.

Volume button on Muvo N200 not work

I have a MuVo N200 Gb. A week after getting it the volume button stopped working. Rather than adjusting the volume, the mp3 player crashes and turns itself off immediately. The player can subsequently be turned on, pause/play button works and toggle switch works, in addition to music playing as normal. However, as soon as the volume buttons are pressed the mp3 player crashes again.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
I have the latest firmware update, which is "MuVo N200, FW release .".

Thanks for the help.
I tried the new update and it solved the problem. Someone had posted a similar problem on this site; in their case the player crashed each time the radio option was selected on the player. There must be a bug in the software that is dri'ven by some kind of event.
The thing that concerns me the most is that when I used the "automatically check for new firmare" option on the creative site I was told I had the most up to date firmware, which clearly wasn't the case! Oh well...

Muvo n200 - background noise, to l

hey hi
i bought muvo n200 and i had problem with voice recording because it was to quiet, so i decided to upgrade firmware, but after i have these problems:
. voice recording always to quiet
2. but music and radio plays to loud, at minimum volume is FM still so loud that i can't hear when somebody talks to me
3. thare is the backgroud noise, when the backlit is on, after i updated, before it wasn't
help please, otherwise i kill the player

no exact procedure, i was just trying with a bad feeling that something bad (with the player) will happen
i downgraded from .20.04 (latest), don't know what was the original version in the player, battery was in,
i've tried to run the .2.0 in normal mode and it did some errors (as expected), nothing happend
than i've tried it in recovery mode (i had problems to connect it - some drivers problem i suppose), but i did it, than i ran the .2 firmware and was trying to start(the firmware upgrade) it but i got some error or something, i tried all the buttons there, i think i wanted to format the stuff - it didn't work, and finally i ran again the start and curiously it started to upgrade - as u can see no exact process - realy don't remember how, i was only trying and suppose the firmware too (many creative bugs), (maybe it installed some drivers between i pushed the same button later)
but i remeber after i disconected the player there was still the usb connection logo on the player display, so i needed to reset it (removing battery), (and was hoping i didn't destroy it), and than power on and the excitement moment and .... it worked (luck?)
maybe i'll write a creative novel :-|

MuVo N200 auto-shut d

I bought my MuVo N200 player 2 or 3 months ago. Recently, I found that it would auto shut down when it try to jump to next track. And when I try to skp to next track, the same problem occurred.
I actually formated the player and reload music tracks. Unfortunately, the prolem is still there. What should I do to correct this?

I wonder what is happened as I just use it as normal, voice record & play loaded soundtracks. The problem simply came up so suddenly.
sasalove,
You got the same problem before?

Muvo n200- exchange it or jack

I bought a muvo n200 three weeks ago. It was working great until a week ago. I was listening to a track, it started to distort a bit here and there, and then it stopped in a loop of distortion.
I replaced the battery a few times with similar results. The track would proceed for a minute and a half with occasional distortion before freezing altogether. Additionally, the track count time was wrong. It would count ,2,3,4,5,6(fast), <skip 7>, 8(slow), 9,0,,2,3(fast). The specific numbers would change, but the pattern is basically the same.
I removed all the tracks and placed a single album back on with the same result.
I installed the muvo n200 drivers from the CD (previously just used windowsXP explorer to transfer tracks) and formatted the player (fat32), placed an album back on and had the same result.
After emailing support, I installed the latest drivers (MuVoN200_PCFW_LB__2_0). Now, the tracks seem to play and there is no freezing, but the track counter problem persists. A 2:33 track shows as 4:6.
Thank you for making it this far. Is there something else I can do to fix this? If I take this back to Fry's, should I exchange it for another n200 or just get a different type of player altogether? I like the concept of the n200 (no moving parts, inline radio), but I keep reading more horror stories on these forums.
Thanks...

Little bit strange, I'd get it exchanged for another one because the N200 is an excellent little unit and very high quality. If you have problems again (very very unlikely), you may want to see if you can get something else.
If you do have the same problems again, it could be that your MP3 or WMA files are corrupted? Have you tried re-ripping your music from CD?Message Edited by scorpian007 on 07--2005 02:42 AM
