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 not recognized by MediaSou

I have a Muvo N200. I downloaded the latest media source software. At first it would not install because it could not find a creative player attached (even though it was). After much troubleshooting I discovered that the creative install program did not play nice if I had other USB devices attached (I have an external hard disk, external DVD burner and a card reader). Once I turned all the other USB devices off then it installed fine. However now that MediaSource is installed it tells me that I have no creative player attached. The player shows up as dri've F in windows and I can read and write to it fine. It also shows up in my old MediaSource software (shows up as Muvo). I have not updated the firmware for this player as I am some reluctant to take the risk that the player will stop working. I see lots of people have problems with firmware upgrades.
Is there something I can do to get MediaSource to see my Muvo N200 player?Any help would be appreciated.

I got my problem fixed. It turns out I also needed the appropriate plugin as well. I sort of assumed it would be all one package but trolling through the forum I found reference to their being different plugins depending on what unit you have. Installing the right plug in fixed the issue.

Muvo n200 not working

HELP! My muvo n200 player simply turned off. When I turn the power on, it begins to start of, but dies again before a song gets a chance to play. I already considered that the battery may be out but I replaced the batteries about 3 times to make sure the batteries weren't the old ones.. i also reformated & deleted & change my mp3's knowing maybe my files were corupt but the problem is still there.. Can somebody please help! tnxs...

I have the same problem, what firmware update do i need? The only one I can find on the web site seems to be for viewing Thai characters only...
That is just the fix in the latest firmware - it does verything that the earlier firmwares did as well.
I would try version .2.0 first - it is not available on the Download page but you can still get it here.

Muvo N200 not working.. any ide

I have a Creative Muvo N200 for about a year now. Just recently it started having problems. Whenever I turn it on it shows the startup logo and then turns off immediately. I've tried deleting all the files on it and that worked for a little bit but then it went back to having this same problem. I tried putting it in recovery mode but I'm really not sure if I did this right because when I tried to download the firmware it, sometimes it said it couldn't detect the player and sometimes it said the player wasn't in recovery mode. Does anyone know of anything else I can do? Or can someone explain how exactly to put it in recovery mode? Maybe I'm doing that wrong, I don't know. Thanks for any ideas.

The full instructions for Recovery Mode are in the sticky thread. PBMessage Edited by PeeBee on -25-200604:50 PM

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 screen does not app

Just got the 256mb muvo n200 for xmas and was working fine then i uploaded more songs and the screen just died. The backlight works but the opening creative logo and the menu/song titles/timer doesn't appear. If anyone knows why this happens or how i can fix this please let me know. Thank you
i reformated, changed batteries undid everything and still no go.Message Edited by kungfookiller on 2-29-2004 2:27 AM

kungfookiller,
Try downloading the latest firmware update from website and use it to update and format the player. Remember to check the option 'Format Data Area'. Backup your player data first though.

Muvo n200 recognize probl

i have muvo n200 256mb. i try it on friends comp, it wasnt recognized first,but in other usb port worked fine...
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.

Install the drivers on the CD that came with your player.
Connect the player in Recovery Mode by pressing and holding the Play button while you connect it to your PC. The New Hardware Wizard should start - follow its instructions.
Then try to load the firmware again.

AB84 discovered a trick that he shared in this thread. It's for really sick N200s, and I wish it could be stickied, because some N200s won't accept firmware using Creative's instructions. Essentially, his two tricks are to
) reinstall the driver, which PB has stated above, and which can be done by just double-clicking, as that will result in a dialogue where it tells you it already has that driver, and asks if you want to overwrite it--you want to overwrite it, and
2) Instead of waiting for a "find new hardware" dialog box, he double-clicked to open the new firmware file. This resulted in a search for the player and two popup dialogue boxes, one that said something like "Media not initialized", to which you acknowledge by hitting the OK button, and a second that asks to upgrade your firmware. MAKE SURE TO SELECT THE BOX THAT SAYS "FORMAT DATA AREA", then OK.
Sorry, my two years of French were too long ago to be useful now.

MuVo N200 fast forwards tra

ok well i have the MuVo N200, with 52 mb and my mp3 player has stopped playing the tracks on it. Whenever i try and play them, it goes on pause and then just acts like its fastforwarding, jumping from like 30 seconds to a minute, to then a minute and thirty seconds. It also makes weird noises while doing this. The menu also works slower than usual and everything else like the radio, and microphone works. I have deleted all the tracks and songs on it, but that did not do anything. I tries re entering the songs again, but again it did the same thing. I really want to fix it because i already have had to return my mp3 player once or twice before. please help me! thankss..

Hi
This sounds as though you need to reload the firmware. The best thing to do is reload the version you already have - find out which one from Settings, Information on your player.
There are links to each version available in this thread.

MuVo N200 random pops and crack

Hei!
Just want to report that the old and known problem with a lot of MuVo N200 units, the random popping sounds, is not completely removed by the new firmware .2.0.! The total amount of these ugly noises decreased, thats right, but a few of them are still there. Have double-checked this by rewinding and re-listening (then the noise is gone), and also back-copying to the harddisk and re-listening from there (the noises are also gone).
Does this really ugly firmware-bug ever get properly fixed?

I'm curious as to what exactly are the circumstances that lead to crackling, because it has never been a problem with my unit. Maybe it's just the way I use it, or the luck of the draw.
My guess is that there's many possible causes for the crackling, and the Creative team is only finding (and fixing) the ones they know about?
Not trying to be all Creative-loving on anyone, but just trying to figure out what's the difference between my experiences and those of others.

Muvo N200 - In-ear Headphone Recommendati

I li've in the UK (Edinburgh) and I've just purchased a Muvo N200 GB and am extremely pleased with it. However, the supplied headphones are not particulalry good and I find the volume level is pretty low. I did ensure that I downloaded the non-European firmware as per advice on this forum. Can anyone recommend a pair of good quality 'in ear' headphones which would help with the volume levels?

I like using the N200 with Sennheiser MX400 earbuds. The MX400 is only around $3 and has great sound. It has plenty of bass and is very efficient. The new Sennheiser MX550 is even more efficient(louder maximum volume with your player), but is supposed to be brighter and have a bit less bass than the MX400 or MX500. The Sony EX5 or EX7 only have an efficiency of 00 db/mw, while the MX550 has an efficiency of 23 db/mw, a huge difference.

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.
Last but not least, thank you for your interest and continuing support
for Creative products. Feel free to contact us again if you require
further assistance on our Creative products, giving us a full

All MuVo n200 users should read this!!! really wo

Hi i?m pepe, and few days ago i wrote for help, i was having problems with my muvo n200 when i wanted to listen mp3 file it played then with a scratch sound in the background.
Finally after reading, and reading, and more reading found this advise from a genius person who must work for creative, and i really mean it cause the gays from "support" treat my problem as a child?s stuff, "is the battery working" "is your player pluged correctly" dammn it.
So every one having problems with MuVo N200 shoud go to this page.

Hi. After I dont know how many hours I finally got mine to work. I hope this helps you, although I am not sure if it will. I am not exactly sure why it worked, or how ( maybe just a whole lotta hoping!)
Anyway....So I did a bunch of stuff a billion times. But here Is what I did most Recently to get it to work: ) Delete any old Creative files related to your player. 2) Reinstall the CD 3) Download Firmware upgrade .20.04 to your Desktop. 4) Download Mass Storage Driver .07.00.250 to your desktop. 5) Try to put it into recovery mode like you have probably done before by taking out the batter and holding play while you plug it in. 6) Instead of waiting for a "find new hardware" dialog box, i double clicked to open the new firmware file I had downloaded. This searched for my player and found it. 7) A box will pop up to upgrade your firmware. MAKE SURE TO SELECT THAT BOX THAT SAYS "FORMAT DATA AREA" before your start. ( I think this is where all my problems came from.) This worked for me and that was all I had to do. I didnt actually do anything with the Storage Driver download except put it on my desktop before i plugged my player.
After multiple correspondences with some not-so-bright support people, they did say if the recover mode wouldnt go or i couldnt get anything to work that I would have to send it back in for "Return Merchandise Authroization." If your contacting them, dont hold your breath too long....it takes a very long time for a response.
Hope this helps you!

Yeah, I don't know why he didn't link to the original thread, where you can see all of AB84's posts and another post (from me) that gives an alternati've for reinstalling the CD. Here's the link:

He's right, though, to advertise to N200 owners with a shouting title (we should bump this occasionally), as Creative just won't put this in their instructions, yet there seem to be plenty of us N200 users that get stuck where our computer can't recognize it in recovery mode.

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.
