Muvo Slim USB Cable

So I got my new Muvo Slim today, I install all the drivers then plug it in, it finds it. But then after about 30 seconds or so windows gives me an error saying the device encountered an error and connot be regconized anymore. So I try try a few different times and it does the same thing every time. Finally, just by chance I decided to try a new USB 2.0 cable, I have the exact same kind for my external HD only difference is my External has to PC end connections for power, I just didn't pluf the secondary power one in for the Slim player. Anyways, since I did everything seems to be working fine, it found it, installed it, and it hasn't messed up yet, the battery even charged. But here is my question:
The USB2.0 cable that came with my Slim, the screwed up non-working cable, says 28AWG/2C+28AWG/2C on it. But the one for my External HD, which I am using on the Slim at the moment says 28AWG/PR and 24AWG/2C on it. Now is there anything to do with voltage on these cables that using the one for my External HD might mess up or fry my Muvo Slim? Or is the fact that they are both just USB2.0 cables fine and nothing will happen?

All USB should be 5V, and cables are normally interchangeable and standard, so I'm sure it will be fine. Strange though that the cable was faulty.

Missing USB cable for MuVo S

I was wondering if there was any way to obtain a new USB cable for the MuVo Slim without purchasing a whole new MP3 player (I lost mine a while back). It's frustrating not having it as I can no longer upload new audio files to the MP3 Player, nor can I recharge the battery (only charges when plugged into PC). After discovering that it was a USB 2.0 cable I found that one of the connectors was smaller than that of any other USB 2.0 device I could find, so I can't even use the cable for another device.
Anyone know where to buy one (either internet/UK shop) ?

This should be what you're looking for.

USB connect from MuVo Slim locks

Can anybody help as this is v frustrating espeshially as this is new purchase and can't get going
Have installed CD from MuVo slim BUT as soon as I connect device to PC (WinXP, Pent4) to any USB port via supplied cable the PC just locks and have to reboot hence I haven't got anywhere.
Doesn't show as ext storage device or anything
Any clues
Thks

That's weird. Are you able to try the player on another computer to determine where the fault could lie.

[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 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.

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 transfer er

Hi. I'm frustrated with the tech support I'm getting in email, so hopefully somebody here can help me. I had songs on my slim and everything was working fine until all of a sudden, I started getting this error message. It says: error tranferring file. There is an option at the bottom not to show this message for all other transfers, and a countdown at the top that automatically closes the window in a few seconds.
Tech support said to d/l the new firmware, so I saved all my songs (I'm in Creative media source, by the way), and did the firmware. Now I get the same error when I try to put all the old songs back on there. Tech's next email gave instuctions on how to reformat, but I got stuck in the middle because they gave me instructions for the wrong player! Next email said: "Here are the steps to format your player. It is not necessary to do the format now yet." Huh? Since I didn't know what else to do, I went ahead and tried to follow these steps:
- remove the battery from muvo slim- connect the player via the cable to the usb port of system.- Open the device manager- Is there a recovery device class appearing in device manager?- Next update the latest firmware and follow onscreen instructions. (Ensure format data area is checked)
What is a device manager? Does any of this make sense? I'm running Windows 98.

Yes, I tried reformatting. That's where I got stuck on where the device manager is. The last person told me how to find it (thank you, by the way), but the next step said "is there a recovery device class appearing in device manager?" And there's not.
I asked tech support the same questions I posted here, and more, but they are giving me really confusing and garbled up info. Yes, I know they're trying their best, but I'm still frustrated. This is how they answered the same questions I posted here:
The other Options listed are Firmware update.Up-to-date firmware are equipped with fixes or additional features and we can also determine whether there is any problem with the current firmware on playerAnd the Setup of the Creative Player Bundled Software Creative MediaSource. For Transferring and Playback and Ripping of Song Tracks.Please also note that for any drm protected files, they have to be transferred over using theMediaSource program, due to the license issue.Your valuable feedback and understanding have been highly appreciated.
That did not answer one of my questions, and didn't make much sense. I know what I need to do is call and speak to a human being, but their hours are inconvenient with my work schedule.

Creative MuVo Slim 512 Mb can´t be recharg

I have only used one charge of battery of my MuVo Slim since I bought it about 0 days ago and now, I couldn?t turn it on.
When I plug it in into the USB port it the "z" marc of charging does not appear. It is like the MuVo is thinking that the battery is full (that is not true because was almost empty) and don?t want to recharge it.
After reading some posts here, I tried the "plug-unplug-battery-method" but It isn?t work yet. I installed the software that came with the device.
Any suggestions?

I have tried to recharge my Muvo Slim in another computer, but unfortunately nothing happened, in other words, the muvo still not recognize the battery. If I unplugged the USB cable when the battery is in the device, the display turn on for a few seconds and then the empty-battery-alert appears and turn off the mp3 player.
What else can I do?

Muvo Slim - Track starts playing automatically when turned

With my Muvo Slim 52, firmware .0.05, whenever I turn the unit on, it starts to play a track, EVEN if there was NO track playing when I turned off the unit. In a similar situation, after I have transferred files onto the unit - as soon as I disconnect the USB cable - the unit powers itself on, and the first track starts to play - before I even press the play button. QUESTIONS --- () Is "automatically playing track after power on" a normal behavior? (2) Is there any way to stop this i.e. so that a track only starts playing (or resumes) when I MYSELF press play? (3) If not, how can such a feature be requested in a future firmware revision?

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!

Does your Muvo Slim have this probl

When I have finished file transfer with my Muvo Slim, and disconnect the USB cable, sometimes ( out of every 3 times) the Slim will turn itself OFF (blank screen) and SOMETIMES it will turn itself on (the Creative logo displays, and then it starts to play a track.)
Has anybody else experienced any this erratic behavior?
Or, when you disconnect the USB cable, does your Slim always turn itself off, OR always turn itself on?
I contacted Tech Support, and they said I may have a faulty unit, and I am curious to see if this is happening with anyone else.
Incidentally, I am using the latest firmware version ..03.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

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 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.

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^2 usb charging er

I can't charge my muvo 4gb via usb. I eject the dri've and it charges for a few minutes then the screen on the the muvo suddenly blackens and henceforth the player starts randomly restarting and does not charge. I have tried different computers and usb cables. I have tried the latest firmware update, but in vain.
My player is under warranty but I'm on holiday and will only get back in a few months, by which time the warranty period would have expired. I emailed customer support but they don't seem to have a clue. Can someone help me?
Thanks,
Richard

I tried your suggestion but it didnt work. Thanks anyways! But the good thing is.. customer support have finally agreed for a replacement after weeks of trying to solve it.
yeah.. I dont have my AC charges with me right now.. i was hoping i could use the usb charging feature while on holidays.. but nooooo.
