MuVo 128 Format

I have the original MuVo 28 and it has been fine for the last few years but recently seems to have developed a fault. I can format it but if I copy files onto it and try to read them it says the device is not formated. The fault is intermitent sometimes the device works fine (with small files). I assume the device is dead but would like confirmation before I consign it to the bin.

Should have looked before I posted. Didn't realise you could update the firmware on this device. Have now done so and the MuVo appears to be working fine again.

Muvo Slim Format Er

Hello,
I'm am having some trouble with my Muvo Slim Mp3 Player. I got it a while ago and it was working fine until one day, all the music was erased and it stopped working. I tried to get it to work myself, having some knowledge on these kinds of things and all I could get was this error. When I was opening the Removable Disk folder it said "Disk J: is not formatted, would you like to format now?", I chose yes, and it would bring up a window. The program would run until the end, and then an error message would come up saying "Cannot format Disk J:". I don't know what else to do, and I've called up your support lines and they don't know what to do either. Maybe you have some ideas?

Please remove the battery and connect the unit to a PC.
Any data and/or music on the unit is to be lost. Do not continue unless you can accept that the unit will be erased.
Download the following firmware file:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=23&Product=0052&dlcentr ic=9425&Product_Name=MuVo+Slim&OSName=Windows+XP
Be sure to select "Format Data Area" before you start the upgrade process. Once the Close button becomes acti've, click it. Now, go into My Computer, right click on the MuVo 'removable dri've' and select Format.
Format the dri've in the FAT32 file system.
Use the safe hardware removal icon (green arrow near the clock). Once unplugged, you can replace the battery. The player should now operate normally.
If this is not the case, please contact customer support and request an RMA. Note that this only applies if the player is under 2 months old.

Muvo Nx Formatted by accid

I formatted my muvo nx by accident and now I can't play any music... My pc sees the muvo nx without a problem and I am even able to transfer files.. But when I place it in its carrier I see a picture of an IC (chip) and a triangle with a ! in the middle... I have read that to recover is to initialize the muvo... But I can't find the utility. I am currently on the road and my cd is at home... can anyone send me the utility?

Download the latest driver and firmware available at the page. Install the driver first and then proceed to use the firmware application but before that, read the details mention at the download site for the firmware on how to run the firmware update.

MuVo 128 won't keep for

I have a MuVo 28 that is about 2 years old. It seems to have some kind of formatting problem. I reformat and then transfer tracks, but the tracks sound corrupt, with numerous blank spots and occasionally I can hear bits of old tracks. When I re-insert the player in the USB port, I get a message saying that it is not formatted.
I have tried everything that I found in the knowledge base and have re-instlled the software from the CD as well as tried the new drivers, etc.
Is it possible that the device simply cannot be formatted anymore?

Well, I decided to try (for the 3rd time) executing the firmware update program I downloaded from the Creative site, after inserting the device while holding the play button. I did everything the same as I had done before, but this time it worked and have listened to two tracks without problem.
I hope this will be a permanent solution.
Good luck!

Music List to Iphone in AAC 128 format

I synchronize my lists with the option AAC 128 for Iphone happens a mistake and my restraint Iphone and it doesn't synchronize nothing else.

that should have worked, and if it is not giving you the option to change that. It could be something with the album and the way it is tagged.

Nomad Muvo 128

On Nomad MuVo 28mb, can it record the FM? Does it use a compact flash disk for extra storage?

Elisats,
The MuVo 28MB does not support FM. It uses solid state memory that is built into the player itself and is not upgradable. If you are looking for a player with the ability to be upgraded with SD or MMC cards and FM tuner/recorder then I think the MuVo Sport C00 is the player for you:

Wma 9.1 for muvo 128

im just new to mp3 players... just want to ask if the MuVo 28mb plays wma 9. files or it does only play wma 9 files?
im planning to use wma 9. if possible in order to double the number of songs to store on my MuVo.. suggestions ?
sorry for my bad english
^_^

Short answer---it will play fine.
Longer answer---9. is the WMP0 implementation of WMA9 (same basic codec). I don't know what changed in it, but I doubt you will hear anything. WMA is a standard codec and if your player supports any version, it supports them all. WMA 9 (or 9.) is a far superior compression codec than WMA 7 or 8, though (these came in previous versions of Windows Media Player). Here's something I was just about to post in another thread---try to compress your files for your player using something other than WMP0; that is, make a smaller copy (like 64KBS) using WMP0 and also try something else. I have had some really bad results with WMP0 compressing high-bitrate MP3 files (VBR) down to 64KBS WMA CBR for my Zen Nano Plus. The Creative software I got with the Nano makes clean copies--same 64KBS WMA CBR, same original MP3---go figure.

Which is better? Creative Muvo (128 meg) or Creative Nomad Muvo (128 m

Sorry for the newbie question, but I can't seem to find the difference.
I bid on of each and ended up winning both (on eBay). I'm trying to decide which one to keep.
Are they the same thing and just labeled wrong on eBay?
Thanks in advance.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=57887837&rd=&sspagenam e=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=

They should both be USB2.0 (and the capacity is the same), so the only difference is the colour.

I-Trigue 3400 + Muvo 128mb

Hi, you have the Creative I-Trigue 3400 + Free Muvo 128 mb MP3 player on at 60, could anyone tell me if the MP3 player is suitable for the UK as it says on the order screen French/Dutch.

ChrisN,
Yes it should be fine using in UK since the player does not have any specific adaptor or items to use with. It uses AAA battery and USB and both of these is not country bound. If there's any doubt on this, I would suggest contacting online store and confirm this with them.

MuVo TX FM 512 MB - Can only fill up to 240

Hi,
Just purchased a MuVo TX FM 52 MB and I can't fill it more than 240 MB. I used the copy&paste functions from Windows XP and the Creative media source organiser tool. Once I reach 240 MB, both methods don?t allow for more transfer.
The MuVo is formatted in FAT. If I look at the property, I clearly see that there is 495 MB capacity and that the dri've is only half filled.
Can you let me know if I can fix it or if I should exchange it's
Thanks, Francis

Francis,
If you're copying that all directly onto the player (in the root folder), then that's normal. You need to create folders first to save your files in, as you only store so much in the root folder (file system limitations).
For instance, create folders based on genre or artist, and store the files in those.

Question about AAC formating

when you format songs to 128 kbps it makes a duplicate, my question is how do you tell which one is the duplicate. I know there is a "view duplicates" option but when i click it it shows both the duplicate and the original mp3 file, i still don't know which one to delete since i don't want two of the song on my ipod. also is there a way to always know which is the dup? thanks in ahead

Highlight one of the duplicate tracks and right click. Select "Get Info" and look at the Summary tab. You will either see the original format or the AAC 128 format.

Missing or invalid version of SQL library PSORA (200,0)

I am trying to configure App. Server on Vista laptop machine.
The machine name is VRGhati03.
It is a logical 3 tier archtecture. Its a EPM 9.0 Install. My database (PFDMO) is all configured and I am able to signon using a User ID VP1 and password VP1. My connect id is people with password of peop1e.
My access id is SYSADM.
I have created a user id in Oracle as VP1 and granted him the PSADMIN role .
When I try to boot up the App. Server it tells me ' Missing or invalid version of SQL Library PSORA' and 'Could not sign on to database PFDMO with user VP1'
The VP1 sign on works via SQLPLUS.
I also created a User Account of VP1 and tried to boot the appserver under that id but still no success.
I have gone thru some of the postings on this topic but they have not helped me. What am I doing wrong?
Below are the details of the log files, portion of my psappserv.cng file and the system environment variables.
Can somebody help. Thanks in advance

[SOLVED] unable to play mp3 or flac files in mpd, .dts files play fine

I had a perfect running mpd setup before I tried to fiddle around with some dependancies to get xbmc-svn to compile without errors. I installed some AUR packages (ffmpeg-svn, x264-git, libva-sds, libvpx, libid3tag).
After that I started to experience trouble with mpd, it start fine and says it plays audio files just fine but whenever i play a mp3 or flac file the progress bar just looks like it's playing the file but I hear no sound. Whenever I play a .dts file i hear the sound correct.
I'm very curious to why this happends.
I rolled back the packages mentioned above but the issue remains unsolved.
My setup: pc is connected to receiver by hdmi cable using the latest alsa version with digital passthrough over hdmi, currently using mpd-git from AUR
mpd -v --no-daemon shows the following:

Nevermind..got it working after configured that I have to put this line in .ncmpcpp/config:
visualizer_look = "+|"
Anybody have a better look for the visualizer?
I also have tried several figures like "=="..hmm..kinda like it..
