MuVo N200 Problem - High Rattling Ec

Hello,
I recently started experiencing a playback problem with my MuVo, in which the songs have a high, rattling echo to them. At first i thought it was the headphones, but it's the player. I've tried erasing the dri've (I'm running Mac OSX), cleaning, etc. It still persists. I'm away for the summer and am unable to get the original receipt, so I can't take it in for repairs. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Joel

Hello Joel
Have you tried reloading the firmware in the player? This seems to cure a number of problems.
The firmware can be downloaded from:

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 Problem, please hel

Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a N200 this last month, and today i noticed that some of the songs a periodically stopping. The player has been fine up until now. I initially thought it might be the battery so i changed it, but the problem still persists. Can anyone offer any advice.
Thanks

Creative is selling millions of MP3 players. If you visit a city with millions of people, you will see many sick people in their largest hospital. A firmware upgrade is a simple matter. When I first got my n200 a number of months ago there were some noises on playback. Loading the .2 firmware solved those completely. Recently I loaded the .5 firmware. I wasn't having a problem with the player recently, but just wanted the latest firmware. Think of a firmware update as being like an update for Windows.
Since you are thinking about getting an ipod Nano, I suggest that you follow Apple's support forums and see all the problems that people start having with their ipod Nanos. Keep in mind that there are aren't so many ipod Nanos out already, so it will take some time for large numbers of support postings for the ipod Nano to appear. MP3 players are complex devices. Think of them as being like computers. Keep in mind all the computer glitches people have even when doing simple things on their pc. Don't expect an MP3 player to be like a tape player or portable radio in term of operating simplicity.

Muvo N200 -problems with so

I have tried switching headphones, reformatting, burning files directly form disk onto it, but I keep hearing a very fuzzy and distorted sound quality. I can hear noise and a bit of the music but there is a loud buzzing sound which ruins the quality. Any suggestions?

Backlight buzz, or something other?
If its not the backlight buzz (dont thinks so), try reflashing the firmware, and try reformatting. What files if it happening with? (.mp3 , .wma ?)

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.

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

Muvo n200, lower level voice recored and encoded, and wanna configue EQ in FM m

I read the topic about Muvo n200 for a few day. I have a problem same as all of you. My problem is I cannot hear the voice that I recorded in my lecture room. Sounds like Ohh Uhh Umm, I cannot catch the word and the sound is low level. Firstly, I think it's from the plastic cover but after I pull it out the sound is same as before I put out. And encode function is low level noise, I should recorded in high level but the sounds is very bad.
And I don't know why I cannot configue qualizer in FM mode. I like the the sound when I configue equalizer in Music mode, but FM mode cannot. This make me disappoint very much.
I hope a new firmware of N200 will coming soon and it should be configue my problem that I'm bore.

The microphone is quite short range.
Sounds like EQ with the radio is a wishlist item. Hopefully one of the moderators will log it for you, or you can send it direct to support.

Muvo n200 radio record

Hello
I have a Muvo N200. When recording from the radio there is a high pitched 'whine' on the recorded file.
This is present even when the recording has been burned onto a cd.
Does anyone else have this problem and if they have has it been fixed by any firmware upgrades. I have not upgraded the firmware since purchasing the product.
Your help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi, yes, the N200 radio recording is notoriously (on this forum) not all that great.
I have the latest firmware on mine, and have, if not a high pitched whine, then a sort of constant 'white noise' in the background of recordings that wasn't there on the original radio transmission.
Hopefully it will be fixed by a future firmware upgrade, (please Creative!) but for now, it looks like it's just something we'll have to li've with.
Sorry, x

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 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...

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.
