Muvo Slim 1GB- Mp3s Corru

I loaded a full 990mb. Music plays fine for days. Than out of no where, music cannot be played. It starts the song and than a high pitched beep and it does that for almost all the songs. I usually do a format, fat or fat32. I have the latest firmware. Also when uploading songs it will reject mp3s after 400mb for some reason. Cannot copy. I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced these problems and have found ways to fix them? I'll just have to format AGAIN...
Thanks!

"Can you play the file directly from the player (when it's connected and shows up as a memory stick)?"
-- No, I can't.
"It's possible the file was corrupted during transfer, can you delete it and copy it again?"
-- Well, that's the problem. I was hoping not to do that, because the original file I can get just tommorrow.
"Did you put it in a folder originally?"
-- Yes.

On Linux you need proper GStreamer support to play mp3 files with the HTML5 media player.
*media.gstreamer.enabled = true
*Bug 794282 - Enable GStreamer in official builds

MuVo Slim 1GB - Mass Storage Device probl

I have MuVo Slim GB and I copied there a 55 MB large file (not mp3, but .avi). Now I cannot get it out, the error message is "Cannot read". I can copy any of smaller files, I can move this large file to different folder (of the same mp3 player space). Any help, please?

Lots of Questions about the Creative MuVo Slim 256MB MP3 Pla

Hello, I'm thinking of buying it...but I got lots of questions that i want it answered first before I buy it.

. How long does the battery last? Like would I even need to replace the rechargeable li-ion battery every year? month? never?
2. I know I can only charge the battery via USB cable, so approximately how long is the wait time until it has fully recharged?
3. Is it possible to recharge using an adapter instead of the USB? Because I found it easily.
4. Do you think this is worth buying? Or should I wait on a future release? 
5. Is the voice recording clear? And can you record 5-0 feet away?

Thank you very much for your time in answering my questions.

. Lithium Ion batteries last at peak performance for about 3 years, or 300-500 charges, whatever comes first. They will still work after this for several years, but at reducing performance.
2. Sorry, not sure...
3. Again, not sure. You're taking a risk that the adapter is compatible.
4. Only you can make that decision. Just look at this and the other players and compare the features and price.
5. The in-built microphones are not great quality, and really only good for recording interviews and meetings, that type of thing.

MuVo Slim issue - randomly playing tracks

I recently bought a MuVo Slim 256MB MP3 player and have uploaded an assortment of tracks (5) from various artists, albums, etc. I'd like the player to randomly select from all of the tracks, which are not stored in separate folders.
This feature works, that is, it randomly selects from the 5 tracks (i.e., starts at 26, 49, , 7, 0, 24, 28, , etc.).
But, when the unit is turned off (holding down the play/pause button) and then back on, the unit will start the music playing at the last track played (say , for example...which is perfect), but then it will jump back to the first randomly selected track 26 and will continue in the previous order (i.e., 26, 49, , 7, etc.). As a result, most tracks are never actually heard because the list always starts back at the begining. Very frustrating.
I've tried the different random options, but nothing seems to get the unit to deviate from it's defined random list.

Jason,
Thanks. I just downloaded the latest firmware for my MuVo Slim (..03 -- previous version was .02.0) and it has corrected the problem! Perfect!

Muvo slim probl

I've had my Muvo Slim 256mb MP3 player for 3 months now, and all of a sudden i realized that it wasnt recognized by my computer(XP)
I have tried reinstalling it again and again, i have also tried to change the letter dri've of the device to fix it but it doesnt show.
-the connection is secure
-all of the USB ports are working
-the player works on my other computer(windows 2000) but that computer is a piece of crap, and doesnt have any of my files.
-"there are no drivers installed for this device" appears in the device manager properties
-my computer is a fairly new, with Windows XP on it.

iwantanimac,
You are being so exaggerated about 0000 post regarding this player. Anyway back to your problem. Check in device manager when the player is connected and see if it's properly identify with no error under USB controller. If there's no problem shown in device manager then probably you will need to reassign a driver letter to the player. You can see the steps here to reassign the dri've letter.

MP3 MuVo Slim Battery

Hi everybody,
A few days ago I found my MP3 MuVo Slim didn't run. Besides, the MP3 body was expanded or inflated. The reason was the battery. As I had leave the MP3 kept for long, with the battery into the MP3 body, caused by temperature or any other cause, the battery was inflated?and this supposed the MP3 body was inflated too.
The problem is I couldn't find any shop that sell this type of battery in Gran Canary, Canary Island, Spain. It seems to be that there isn't any CREATIVE distribuitor here. What is more, the Muvo Slim model is out of catalogue. What can I do?
If I try to buy one by Creative Site, what would be the cost of the battery and total cost taking into account deli'vering expenses?
Is buying a new battery worth, or It's better buying a new MP3, or even better choosing a MP4?
I hope your anwsers.
Thanks in advance,
Bye

Yes when it's charging, there is a lightning flash symbol flashing across the battery indicator.

Muvo Slim Mp3 songs skipp

I just got my new 256Mb Muvo Slim two months ago and now the songs are begining to skip as if I was fast forwarding the song, and I know I have'nt dropped it. The radio still works fine, and it seems to only be skipping in the songs that i have downloaded, the songs from CD's burnt onto my computer work fine but anything not from a CD skips the whole way through the song. I have all the right software and I dont have any detectable viruses. Can a Mp3 have a Virus and does Creative warranty cover any reapairs or replacements

Davidthefirst,
You mention that MP3 ripped from Audio CD works fine but not downloaded music files. Where does those come from? From the way I see it, I don't really think the player is faulty since it plays fine from those MP3 ripped from your own CD. My guess would be those downloaded files are corrupted.

[MuVo Slim] Charging from USB p

Hi
Over on the Nomadness MuVo forum someone asked about how to charge a MuVo Slim when away from their PC as it charges via the USB port.
I answered that if all they needed was a powered USB hub then they could buy an external, self-powered hub and then connect the player to it, without it being connected to a PC.
Would this work or does the player need to be connected to the PC for the charging cycle to begin? Or does it just need the power that the port supplies?
PB

Yes, I also tried this with a CyberPower 420 MP USB hub that is battery powered with an on/off switch http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/CPH420MP.asp But even with that hub turned on, it would not charge the Slim unless I connected the hub to a PC.
I use the Zen Micro charger to charge my Slim when I'm not near a PC. I had read an SSR post on this board where he recalled that someone had said that combo (Slim and Micro charger) would work. The Zen Micro charger provides 000mA, which is high for a flash MP3 device (higher is good) from 5V. So I tried it and it has worked fine. (I had a Zen Micro as well as the Slim, so it cost me nothing extra.)

Muvo slim battery charg

Ok, this might be a dumb question but i'm very green in the area of mp3 players. I recevied a Muvo Slim for christmas. After some reformatting problems, it now works great. (Thanks to this message board) Anywho, I was wondering how to know if your battery is charging? I know you have to plug it into your computer with the usb cord and I've done that, but does the battery icon flash or something? I think there is a little lightening bolt that comes across the battery when it's plugged into the computer. Sorry if this question sounds so dumb, I just don't know. :smileytongue:

Yes when it's charging, there is a lightning flash symbol flashing across the battery indicator.

MUVO SLIM 1 GB with firmware 1.13.02 garbled so

Hi,
Since a couple of months I have the following problem
After I have downloaded several times music to my player I get all of a sudden garbled sound. The other day I was listening to a podcast and turned it off. Then when turning it back on the again ( hour later ) the podcast was completely not understandable.From now on all other songs sounded weired as well.(metal sound ) Even erasing all songs and putting new ones had the same effect. The only thing left to do is to re-firmware the Muvo Slim again, then everything works normal again ( for some weeks )
I have also tried :
- not to upload the firmware , but just formatting the dri've in FAT or FAT32 , but this doesn't help.
- remove the battery for some time
- no mix of WMA and MP3 songs on the player
when listening to the mp3's that are on the MUVO player via the pc ( thus via the removable dri've) , there is no corruption in the files.Everything seems to be perfect.
So the usb flash dri've has no corruption.
The playrate seems to be ok , but the sound seems hardly recognizable.
I have tried to find something to reset my Muvo (instead of reimage ), but have found anything yet.
Please help.

Well, as I have said ,the problem seems to go away after I have done the firmware update again.But after a while the problem start again with no apparent reason
I always download the firmware from the creative website.
so at least I'm sure the firmware file I have is not corrupt.

Creative MuVo Slim and WM

I recently bought a MuVo Slim to supplement my Zen Micro. I like to use WMP0 to organize mu music library and I use playlists heavily. I find that the best way of managing my music os to organize it in playlists the way *I* want them and then synch selected playlists with my device. This works flawlessly with my Zen Micro (using MTP firmware of course).
But this does not work at all with my MuVo Slim. WMP will transfer music OK and organize it in a folder structure like this on the MuVo Slim:
\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\<Tracn name>.mp3
This is fine except that my MuVo Slim won't recognize any music at all. I have played around a bit and moved my music files manually so it's all under one single top directory, e.g. \Music\<Track name>.mp3. The player will then find the files but there is no way to tell WMP0 to organize the music this way, neither do I want it organized like this. I assume the problem is in the firmware and lack of support for multiple subdirectories. I find little (read no) information about this in the manual or other placed I have searched.
Can anyone confirm this limit and confirm if there is a update planned that will make the device work with WMP0?
The device is useless to me right now and I'm about to send it back if there is no solution to this (using a different software to manage my music library is not a solution for me).
Anyone?

I organize all my music by playlists in WMP0 and depending on my mood I would like to quickly chose which playlist to synchronize with my player. That's why I don't want to do it all manually. And besides, because of the current 2 level directory limitation of the player it won't recognize all the music when I fill the player all the way up ( GB). That is, unless I rename files and reorganize them. That's just too much of a hassle so throwing it out the windows seems the only logical choice, at least that gives me some weird sort of satisfaction.....
BTW I have a track record of destroying things that does not work as expected. I once invited both the Sales Director of Compaq in my country (before the merger with HP) and the local computer press to witness as I made a big fire of 36 Compaq laptops that my company had nothing but trouble with. The Sales Director of Compaq didn't show up but the computer press did. Needless to say it was a lot of fun.
So don't you make the mistake of not beliening me when I say I'll throw it out the window :smileyvery-happy:

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.
