MuVo Slim Batt

My daughter received a MuVo Slim as a Christmas present. The battery that came with it has a white label the surrounds the black plastic case for the battery. There appears to be a large air bubble between the lable and the plastic case which makes the battery fit EXTREMELY tightly into the MP3 player. In fact, it such a tight fit that I am sure once the battery is inserted, it will never be able to be removed. Having read some of the postings on this site, it appears taht occasionally it may be necessary to remove the battery at times (especially if I ever want to replace it). My questions is - can the white battery label be safely removed so that the battery fits more loosely into the player? Or is the label an intricate part of the battery?

I would recommend you contact Creative Support direct.

  • Need help - Error while updating the firmware of Muvo Slim using the recovery t

    Hi ,
    While I am trying to update my Muvo slim firmware using the recovery tool it throwd up an error. And from then onwards if I am trying to power it up it won't.
    If I again try to update the firmware, it throws up the error that "Unable to Write to Device: Device Time out".
    I am afraid that my Muvo slim got bricked. Can you please help me in recovering the same.
    PS: My PC OS is Windows XP.
    Thank & Regards

    On my XP system, the last time I wanted to reload the firmware, I had to remove all of my Creative software programs,?and then revert my Windows Media Player back to 0 and then use The Recovery Tool. It is a bit of a pain, but does seem to work when you are getting errors with the firmware download.

    Almost forgot. Make sure your player is fully charged or has a fresh battery before starting any firmware download.

    You didn't wait very long for any responses!
    Did you try a full reformat and firmware update? Have you spoken to Customer Support yet to see if they can help?
    Did you try creating a folder on the player, and copying some MP3 files into it's

  • Problem with Muvo Slim

    My dad has a new Muvo Slim and I am trying to put music on it for him. I can get it to copy up to 28Mb but not to fill it, is there a setting that I have wrong?
    Thanks
    Kizzmo

    Make sure you have the latest firmware.
    Also try the player on another PC to see if the issue is with your PC, or some incompatibility with your PC and the Slim.

  • [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.)

    It charges via its USB socket, so you can't use the Xtra's power supply.
    What is displayed in screen and can i use drag and drop transfer method from windows explorer?
    It works as a flash dri've, so appears as a dri've letter in Windows Explorer.
    Finally can i use the mediasource 3.20 softwear update i now use with my zen or must i input different mediasource version for slim than one i use with the zen? thanks matt
    Go to Nomadworld.com downloads and you'll see the Slim listed there with MediaSource and the MuVo plugin.

  • Muvo Slim Not playing fi

    My recently purchased Muvo Slim is no longer playing music files. It will play Audible files since I upgraded the firmware. When I try and sync the device with WMP0 the program locks.
    I've looked all over the KB to no avail. Actually, the whole KB is really quite lacking in content. I've filed a customer service request but I'm not hopeful. Does anyone know how to reflash to a previous firmware? I think my problems began with the new firmware for Audible files.

    I had the same problem, less then 48 hrs after buying a Slim.
    I had reformatted it and did so in Fat32. I then had that error. Reformat it as FAT and it will work agian.
    (To Reformat ...
    Open "My Computer". Find the "Removable Storage Dri've" the Muvo made, and right click it. You will see this:<IMG src="http://www.acsontario.biz/help/muvo_reformat_step.JPG">
    Select the option "Format".
    <IMG src="http://www.acsontario.biz/help/muvo_reformat_step2.JPG">
    Select the dropdown box option of "FAT".
    Click "Start" and it will reformat. For a faster reformat you can select "Quick Format".
    SECONDLY ..... the new "Scroll" feature works by HOLDING THE JOG WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT to 'ff' or 'rw' thru the song, like you would with an old CD Player, tape deck or VHS machine.Message Edited by kmodorex on -3-2004 03:23 AM

  • 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 works perfect except Recovery Device Mode. H

    Hello,
    Recently my MuVo Slim has started to be recognized by my PC as a STMP3500 device and so I have run the "Mass Storage Drivers" programm to make it a Player Recovery Device to handle it.
    Currently everything about the device works perfect except causing extra work while connecting to the PC: I have to run the Firmware update program each time I want to browse the files in MuVo Slim.
    Only after the message "A device has been detected in recovery mode and is being initialized. Please wait..." is seen, recognizes the PC the MuVo as an external storage device. (Thereafter I simply close the window of firmware update program)
    Btw, at that point if I click 'start' and upgrade the firmware of MuVo (or downgrade, that makes no difference) it is then again not recognized by PC! In this case, I have to go through the step I've described again: Run the Firmware update program , see the "A device has been detected in recovery mode and is being initialized. Please wait..." message and close the firmware update window, and so on...
    Now what I'd like to learn is if there 's a way to skip this step of making the PC recognize the MuVo Slim? Please remember that my MuVo Slim works perfectly except that.
    Thanks

    Does anybody have solution? I still have to run Firmware Update program
    "MuVoSlim_PCFW_LF__3_02.exe" each time I want to browse files within my MuVo Slim.
    Please help!

  • 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.

  • Can I use MusicMatch w/ my MuVo Slim instead of Creative MediaSource Softwa

    I would like to use MusicMatch with my new Slim MuVo instead of the MediaSource software that came with it, but I can't find my player in Match's list. I think I need a MuVo Slim plug-in for it. Where can I get this... IF I can get this? HELP!!
    Beth

    I am almost sure that the MuVo Slim will not need a plug in for MMJB. My MuVo?4 appears as a removeable dri've under Windows and also as a library location in MMJB (or MediaMonkey as well ... shameless plug for a great alternati've music manager!).
    If you have a look at the MMJB Plugins page you will see on the right hand side that the MuVo and MuVo NX are listed as not needing a plug in. I would just give it a try with the Slim connected ... I bet it will work just fine!
    good luck with it,

  • Muvo Slim, sound only in one ea

    Hi
    I have this (huge i think) problem. When i am going to hear music with my Creative Muvo Slim player, there is only sound in the left earphone. I have just bought a new pair of earphones today, so i found out that, they weren't the problem. It's a little hard to explain but i actually can hear sound in both earphones IF i don't "plug" the cable all the way in to the player. You can kind of say that there is 2 clicks where number 2 is all the way in. If you plug it one click in and turn the cable a little around, i can hear sound in them both. But that just dosn't work, cause if i move then it stops working.
    How can it be that this has happened, and what do i do? It's pretty frustration to be listening to music in only the left ear...
    Rasmus

    I have tried 2 pairs of earphones, and pair of headphones, the problem is there with them all. So i think i can pretty much conclude that the player is screwed. I'm going to send it in to get a new one. Anyway, thanks for you help ~

  • MuVo Slim 128M, cannot transfer files to PC but being asked to format: Please kindly h

    After getting connected to PC and trying to browse the files in my MuVo Slim 28M, I was asked to format the dri've before. I asked someone at the shop and he told me to install the firmware. But there is no way to get the files stored. I bought it about a year and 4 months ago and have been using it properly, i.e., always remove hardware in Window before unplugging.
    Could you please kindly advise if there is any method to get the files? They are important recorded files that I don't want to lose.
    Thank you so much for your time and assistance,
    Sumet

    It doesn't sound good if you're getting this message. About all you can do is test on another PC to see if you have the same problem.

  • 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:
