Muvo N200 BIG PROBL

Hello, I have this mp3 player almost 2 years, i had some problems wih him in the past, but none of them was so big as this. I was trying to reload newest firmware .20.04, everything seems to work properly, i did it step by step as they adviced on Creative pages, but after finishing reloading the firmware, i shut down?updating application and since then does the mp3 player no response. I can't turn it on, Pc don?t recognize him. So if anyone knows what to do (beyond throwing it into the basket), i?ll be very glad for any advice. Thanks a lot. Del

when i came home my computer didnt recognized it.. in every usb port.. it says
`one of the USB devices attached on copmuter has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it `
i even try on 3 computers with win xp and got same message and when try to open recovery mode again same message.
there is no problem with listening music

Try this:
Disconnect the player and then open Device Manager.
Select View Devices by Connection and Show Hidden Devices.
Under your USB connection find all entries for your player including ones for Player Recovery Device and remove them all.
Close Device Manager, restart PC?and then connect your player.
Try this and let us know what happens.

Muvo n200 1gb probl

I have a new, less than two week old, Muvo 200n gb player that just started giving me problems today.
I was running with it this morning and it just died halfway through my run. I assumed that the battery had run out so I put a new one in when I got home. That wasn't the problem as it powers up and then shuts down after about 3 seconds.
So far I have tried reformatting it- which didn't work.
I put one folder's worth of music back on and it still shuts down as soon as it powers up. The funny thing is that if I hook it up to my computer I can access those music files and play them back. If try to play the music through my player it just goes right to it's auto shut-down mode and doesn't even give me the chance to access any other parts of the player- like the radio.
Any suggestions?
Jon

I am having the same problem with my player. It started the second day I had it. I seem to be able to get it working by reinstalling the firmware each time. When it stops working it will turn on temporarily and then shut down. I can access it as a removable dri've but it will not run under it's own power. After I reinstall the firmware it runs for a few hours and then the problem starts all over again. This is a serious problem for me as I intend to use this on a three week vacation traveling without a computer to reinstall the firmware each day. I had hoped there would be a solution on Creative's website but all I've seen mentioned about this problem is in these forums with no reply from Creative. Come on Creative..what's the deal?

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 microphone and echo probl

hi, can anyone help me to slove my muvo n200 problem? My mp3 player is in .0.2 version, I bought it for 5 months till now, the microphone recording function suddenly don't work and whenever I press it it shut down the whole system.
The second problem is just started the day before yesterday. The sound (not because of the headphone) was not right. It sound metalic and have heavy metal econ. However it only happen when I start up it for the first time in a day. After that it will be fine. I really don't know why. Should I recovery the whole system? Or I have to download something to replace it's
Thank you very much.

Tried reloading/updating the firmware?

MuVo N200 File Transfer Probl

So, I just got a new MuVo N200. After installing the MuVo Drivers, I tried to drag and drop .mp3 files to the dri've in Windows Explorer. After a couple of files transfer, the transfer hangs, and then a windows error pops up from the system tray saying that a USB device has become unresponsi've/unrecognizable, and click here to troubleshoot (which is of course worthless). The MuVo is now locked up at this point, and removing the battery is the only way to get it out of 'USB mode'. I have tried wiping everything Creative from my computer and reinstalling the software (short of running regedit and deleting all creative regkeys), I have flashed to the newest firmware .2.0, both with and without the 'Format Data Area' option, I have also formatted the MuVo as FAT32 through windows explorer, however this problem still persists. I'm going to finally upgrade my computer to WinXP SP2 (only have SP now), but I don't think this will solve my problem, as it seems to be the MuVo that is at fault (all my other USB devices, including other mp3 players work fine). Does anyone have any ideas as to other fixes I might try, or am I looking at an RMA?
Also, I purchased this through amazon.com, so I'm assuming I need to handle this as an RMA through creative, not through a return process with amazon.com, correct?Message Edited by SLOROJO on 06-3-2005 0:6 PM

I have been through some USB woes' (as SSR is aware) and don't dispair yet. What does worry me is that other MP3 players work. Make sure that is the case even after your last set of changes. Drag an equivlant amount of files to the other MP3 players. Be equal in your testing. I was able to drag a 20K file to my N200 .. but a 2MB file would get hosed.
Having said that, for me, the N200 works without instaling any of the drivers or Media explorer. I agree, go to another W2k or XP machine, plug it in and drag about 00MB of files to the N200 when it shows up on the explorer. If that works fine, then there are many ways to clean up your USB stack. Not sure if it's a USB2 issue .. and SSR has dealt with that.
I had a situation where another USB driver was interfereing with my USB phone sync program. Cleaned up all USB device drivers, and it worked fine. With W2k SP4 or XP2, have not had too many issues.

Muvo n200-not find by

hello
I got a big problem with my muvo N200. When I connect it through usb to pc it's not recognized.the picture which shows that player is connected to pc is not appearing. I can't upgrade the firmware and do anything with usb. I tried this on other pc's and different usb cables....where's the problem?

Try this:?http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=23264?Read posts 3 and 4. Several N200 owners have gotten satisfaction from this, e.g.,?http://forums.creative.com/creativel...d=00348#M62247?I occasionally come back here to check on N200 failures, because Creative just won't put this in their FAQ, I guess they feel they have to see it work for themselves. Even the uber-posters won't acknowledge this fix discovered by AB84. Hope it works for you, as it has for several of us.

Muvo n200 brow

I just got the muvo n200. I notice that the full manual isn't yet available on the creative website. Anyone know when it will be? Also, I'm wondering if the unit has a browse mode - where I can scroll through songs on the player without advancing to them. Right now I only seem to be able to scroll from song to song.
Thanks
Heather

I am using the latest firmware .2.0 , mostly .WMA's with close to 500 songs on my GB n200.
I have been very satisfied with this player, however my gripes are still (people make too big of a deal out of the back light noise!!):
- Inconsistent folder playback i.e. When using shuffle modes, many folders get skipped out or are rarely ever played. Its very annoying. When using a "shuffle" feature, one expects to be able to listen to a multitude of songs, rather then songs from only a few folders.
- No way of browsing songs without advancing to the next song, very annoying considering I have around 500 songs.

Muvo N200 support playlis

I am seriously considering purchasing a muvo n200 GB, however I would like to know if there is anyway to organize the songs e.g through playlists , or is it just one big space to dump all your songs, and you'd have to scroll through every song just to find one that you want to hear.
thank you for reading my post, any input is greatly appreciated.

There seems to be some confusion on this topic. Hopefully this post will help clear the matter up.
I just bought the MuVo n200 and I really like it (256mb model). I had the same question you did about playlists. You can create playlists on your computer with the software provided but the player itself does not support playlists. The player does support the use of folders, so essentially you can accomplish the same task as a playlist by creating folders and storing them on your player. Once the folders have been stored on your player, you simply skip to the folder you want to listen to. When a folder is transferred to the player the songs in the folder will be arranged alphabetically. I have not figured a way around this but it is no big deal if you keep your folders reasonably small.
Also I have noticed that you cannot put a folder in a folder (like you can in Windows directories). You can do this on the computer with the software provide but you cannot transfer the embedded folders. For example, if you create a folder named Rock and put several folders in that folder named Boston, REM, Dire Straits, etc and then transfer this data to your player, the player will not recognized the folder. All this means is that if you create a folder you must put songs in it, not other folders. Again, no big deal as long as you know this.
I like this product. The only shortcoming I have seen is the documentation is lacking. This is somewhat made up for by the quick and accurate response I got from Tech Support though. They got back to me in about 5 minutes. I have pasted the response from Tech Support below.
Thank You for being Creative Customer.
For using the muvo micro to store playlists, I'm afraid this is not
supported by the player. It can store folders instead.
Thus in place of playlists, you may wish to create folders at the ROOT
directory and store the files you want, into each folder instead.
And to playback the songs in a particular folder, you may skip to that
folder directly.
I apologise for any inconveniences caused to you.
We look forward to serving you again.
Thank You for contacting Creative technical support.

MuVo N200 Headpho

I just purchased a muVo n200 and I am quite pleased with it but I really don't like ear buds. What would be a good pair of headphones with this unit. I bought a pair but they weren't that good with it.
Any advice/assistance would be great?
Thanks
Joe

jpawela: It depends a *lot* on your preference for style and budget. I'm a big fan of the Sony EX5/7 canalphones. But as Jason suggests, search on headphones and you'll find many past threads on this with many opinions

MuVo N200 Screen Too Small To Re

Hi,
I just bought the MuVo N200 (52MB using Win XPHome) and trying to figure it out. Now that I got the software up (w latest the firmware installed), I'm challenged by the tiny screen area.
Dunno if I'll rue this purchase therefore!
Getting out by sunlight or holding it under a bright light helps (The backlight goes off before I've begun to make things out). A magnifying glass helps a bit too.
How have others of you managed with this (I can't be the only one!)
Thanks
Chet

I would like a larger display, although that would probably mean that player needs to be larger. That would be okay though, since I also want the player to use a AA battery and have an AM and FM tuner. Having models with 52 meg, gig, and 2 gigs to start(with higher capacity models coming later as flash memory prices drop). I would also like to see a deluxe model with a much higher quality mic(so students can adequately record lectures given in large lecture halls, or businessmen could record meetings) and a high quality line in(then the mic and line in could be omitted on the standard model).

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...

PLEASE HELP MUVO N200 ERROR EVERY TIME I TRY AND DOWNLOAD A SONG

hi every time i try and download a song it says error. i put it into recovery mode and it fixes it but i have to unload all the songs off and then start again but the same thing happens again and sometimes i don't even know if my player goes into recovery mode because my computer doesn't detect it. is there anything i can do about the error every time i try an ddownload a song? please help i am relly frustrated!!

"Download" as in from LimeWire or some such program? Or loading your player with songs.
If it's from LimeWire, the song file is probably corrupted.
If it's loading your player with songs, either you haven't installed the player's corresponding driver correctly, or something's happened to corrupt your firmware.
Try downloading the firmware from Creative and re-loading it onto your player. Very easy to do.
If that doesn't fix anything, try uninstalling and then re-installing the Creative MuVo N200 driver onto your computer. Get somebody that <EM>really</EM> knows what they're doing to help you.
