Muvo slim just flash

Muvo slim is recognized as a dri've with all files visible, but won't play properly. Blue light and Creative logo flashing and battery reading full. Stays on when disconnected from charging USB and won't go off. Is this a firmware issue or hardware problem - before everything is erased! Have tried disconnecting and reconnecting battery.
Thanks for any help, I cannot see a similar issue here, it is just one month old.

try going into the rescue mode
here's the link on how to do it

[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.

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.

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,
jake

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 ~

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 User Manual w/o Comput

I purchased MuVo Slim 52. At first, I will only be using it for Voice recording, + FM.
I do not have PDF, Adobe/Acrobat. (I have webtv). So, I cannot even get the manual.
Is there any way to get it in print without a PC? Kinko's too expensi've, Library not equipped.
It seems alot to ask of a friend. (75 pages and/or installing the CD.)
I just want the instructions!!
Thanks,
Katrina

Hi Jason,
Well, amazingly enough, tonight, a super guy at Circuit City printed up the whole manual for me.
But I definitely still have questions, so I will post them.
Thank you!

Muvo Slim external charger compatible with Zen Nee

Hello.
I'm new here. I have a Muvo Slim and I bought the optional USB charger for the player so that I could charge the player without using my computer. I just need to plug the player using the charger to the power supply while the player is charging.
Now the problem is, I just got myself a Zen Neeon last month and I'm wondering whether the Muvo Slim's external charger is compatible with my Neeon? I noticed that both players are using the same USB port and I even charge them through my computer using the same cable. It would be very good if I could use the Muvo Slim's charger for my Neeon because it will save a few hours of electricity leaving the computer turned on everyday. Anyone can help? Many thanks.
Cheers.
-Rizal-

I've heard the Slim charger works with the Micro, and the Micro charger works with the Neeon. So by deduction it should work. If you want an official answer though you'll have to ask Creative Support.

Muvo Slim Battery probl

I have the Muvo Slim 256MB model no DAP-TD0008 with firmwire drivers ..03
The problem i'm having is the battery refuses to recharge. My initial thought was that the battery died completely from being drained and just simply wouldnt recharge, so I bought another one from the Creative website. I've had the new battery in my possesion for day, and it too, refuses to charge.
I have used multiple usb ports on multiple pc's (with the firmwire installed on each machine) and the battery never recharges, no matter how long I leave the player charging. I am also certain that it is not the chord itself. This is because I can still format, add, remove, and edit the playlist and software on the player through my pc's. It connects just fine and the pc's in my home recognize it just fine. Even the "charging" symbol on the top right corner is displayed while it's plugged in. But anytime I unplug it, the player immediately says that the battery is empty, and then shuts off.
I've been digging through the forums and have not seen another post describing this same problem.
ANY help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

If the player are showing the charging symbol then it should be charging. Remember that transferring files drain lots of battery. Perhaps you should let the player charge for a little longer -2 hours without doing any thing on the player like playback/transfer/etc..... and see if it get charged.

LCD on MuVo Slim is dead.

The LCD on my MuVo Slim 256 player is not displaying any text or images. Up until now, the player has been great.
The MP3 player still works, that is, it will turn on/off and will play music, but I cannot see anything on the display. The display will light-up blue when powered on/off, but no text or images...nothing. I cannot tell how much battery is left, what song I'm on, etc.
Unfortunately, because I cannot see the menu options, I can't determine if the LCD's settings are just too low to be displayed or what the issue is. Very frustrating.
I had previously downloaded the firmware update in January to address another issue, which it did. I formatted the MP3 player and re-installed the firmware, but I still can't read the LCD.
Thanks for your help.Mike B.

If you've updated the firmware and it hasn't returned then unfortunately it has failed. You'll need to contact Creative Support.
