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/

  • 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:

  • 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 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 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 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.

  • 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 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 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 Cannot Play w

    I bought a MuVo Slim 256MB but apparently i can't play the music stored in it... The other functions are working fine. Can someone help me ASAP. Thank you.

    Do these WMA files have Digital Rights Management protection? e.g. are they from an online store. If so, you must transfer them with MediaSource or Windows Media Player.

  • 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
    ksraghava?

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