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 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.

Muvo slim connection proble

Hello,
I bought a Creative Muvo Slim MP3 Player.
I can't see my player at my computer. I have installed/reinstalled drivers and software many times, but it didn't help. When I plug it, player shows that it is connected, but windows don't see it.. I have Windows XP.
I have updated all my motherboard drivers.
Help me out, please.

Jarski
Open your device manager and check under 'Uni'versal Serial Bus controllers'. Do you have a Mass Storage Device listing there or you have some listing with unknown or an exclamation.
If the MuVo Slim is listed as Mass Storage Device under device manager then you may need to manually map your disk dri'ves, especially if your computer is connected to a network or if you have multiple dri'ves. We have an article on Knowledgebase on this.

Muvo slim shutting down/ blank spot on scr

hello,
i have a muvo slim mp3, and i've had it for almost a year. i am very pleased but recently i let the battery run out on a vacation and suddenly after it ran out its been randomly shutting off and there is a blank bar across the screen. i can see the top and bottom part of the screen but not hte middle. A few months back the battery holder borke but the case that came with it held it in. is this part of the problem?
thanx in advance

All you can do with the MuVos is try reloading the firmware, although this sounds like a hardware fault.

Muvo Slim download mp3 files only but not playing!

i just bought this Muvo Slim with 256MB memory.. if i plugged it on my computer it can be opened and still can download files.. but once you remove it from the computer, it wont open.. even the opening logo nor the the blue backlight won't open!, it started acting this way right after i plugged it on my friends mp3 (not creative) player.. it has a USB output connector, and 5volts output which is the voltage as a regular USB provides!.. can this still be fixed?.. cause i did tried loading the uograded firmware, and it did recognize the player, but when disconnected to the computer it just went blank!.. need help here! thanks!

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

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 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.

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.

Muvo Slim - music cuts

Hi!I've been using my MuVo Slim for a while now. The main problem I have is that some tracks cut off and on during listening. Not all tracks, just some. It's very irritating. I tried checking other posts to find out if others had this problem. I tried re-installing tracks but it doesn't help, and they sound fine on the pc. Did I record the songs incorrectly or install them wrong on the muvo? Help!?Tracy

Is it the same songs that cause a problem or does it vary from time to time?Are the songs the same bitrate and format?in your pc the same as in the mp3 player? If so, then the firmware in the player might be corrupt, and a firmware update might be a good idea. http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/

Muvo Slim acting up when colder than 25 degrees celc

I recently bought a 52mb muvo slim player and was satisfied the first couple of weeks.
Now when the winter has come i am starting to have difficulties starting the player outdoors aswell as indoors.
Everything looks nice at first, the creative logo is displayed on the lcd, then the Muvo slim logo appears. After these logos the player dies. A restart results in the same behavior. BUT, if i hold the player in my hands for a minute or so i am able to start it, play a few songs with the player in my fairly warm pocket, then it dies again and the same procedure is required to get it going.
Firmware is ..03.
Any toughts on this problem? Anyone else been experiencing these wierd errors?

Well, thanks for all those answers! First I'd like to say that creative doesn't give a **** about their customers if they are not in asia or the answer to their problem would be like this: Dear Customer! Our softwares doesn't worth a piece of ****. Regards, XY My mp3 player is still won't turn on every ~3 weeks if I don't install the same (last) firmware again. But a few weeks ago I setup my new computer and I use Vista x64 on it. As you have guessed it already the firmware updater doesn't support Vista x64 or x86, but here's the surprise: it doesn't support XP x64 either! That's wonderful! Creative and Pinnacle are racing in front of my very eyes to get the Worst Support in the World prize! The latest driver (not working well) for Vista for my Audigy 2 ZS is almost a year old (thx daniel_k!), the latest (not working well either) firmware for my muvo slim for XP is almost 2 years old!Thank god I still got 2,5 months left of my warranty, I will return it ASAP once they can offer me another player that has a reasonable price. Creative's prices ARE way off! Thanks for (not) reading!

MuVo Slim 512mb - track or

I love my MuVo slim but there is one thing that dri'ves me bonkers. I can't figure out why it insists on playing songs alphabetically! I have a couple of CDs ripped on here that need to be played in order as they are songs that are mixed together, no pauses between tracks. Does anyone know how I can get it to play the songs in the order they were ripped?

To get them to play in a particular order, just add track numbers in front of the filename, like this
SampleSong.mp3 becomes 0 - SampleSong.mp3
Check this knowledgebase case for more information.

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

[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.)
