Muvo TX FM 512MB prob

I got a TX FM for Christmas and then a little over a week ago I couldn't get it to turn on. I didn't do anything to troubleshoot the problem for a couple days. Then I decided I had better take care of it, and sat down in front of my computer to try and find a solution. But before I started I tried to turn the Muvo on one last time, and low an behold, it worked, and continued to work for the next couple of days. Then I had the same problem again. This time I didn't wait and see if it would come on later and started looking for a solution on the Internet immediately. First I tried to format it, but that didn't work. Then I updated the firmware. It still wouldn't turn on. Finally I tried changing the battery, but I didn't think that would work because I was pretty sure the last time I had it on before it stopped working the battery meter showed that it still had half a charge. But to my surprise it did work, so I figured that I was mistaken about the battery meter. Earlier tonight I had been listing to it while I was working and turned it off for a second to talk to someone. When I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't respond. So I stuck it in my pocket, very frustrated, and wanting to get off work so I could come home and post this message and hope someone could help me. About fi've minutes latter I tried to turn it on again and it worked. Then I turned off and tried to turn it back on again, but it wouldn't come on. So I waited another fi've or so minuets and I was able to get it to come on again. But after turning it off again the problem returned. I went through this cycle one more time and then stopped trying. When I got home I couldn't get it to come on at all, So I tried formating it, but it still doesn't work. If someone knows how to fix this I would be very grateful.

All you can try is the standard recovery and update procedure. Try downloading the latest driver and firmware from the website. Install the driver file. After you have installed the driver, press and hold the PLAY button, continue holding the button while inserting the player into the USB port for about 0-5 sec. Run the firmware update file and check/tick the 'Format Data Area' check box and click on 'Start'.
If this doesn't help then you need to either return it where you bought it or contact Creative Support.

Muvo TX FM 512MB: firmware upgrade failed. How to recov

Hi, I have a Muvo TX FM 52MB. The firmware version used to be .4.0x. I tried to upgrade it to the newest one, .7.04.
I did everything according to the Instructions on the Creative Download Website. I let the OS to choose the recovery driver for me. The firmware upgrade file correctedly found my player and executed the upgrade. However, there's no instruction that I should check the format data option during upgrade. So I didn't format the data during upgrade. After the upgrade, I couldn't start the player and the PC couldn't recognize it.
I tried to do the upgrade again. The PC correctly recognized the player as a recovery device. After I started the creative upgrade program, the program founds the recovery device, then started to find any device connected to the computer, finally said that "The device is not connected to the USB port".
How to solve it's Many thanks.
Alex

go to nomadworld.com and find the firmware... READ PROPERLY... it says that u must install a new driver before u upgrade the firmware... mine works... for now, to recover it, press and hold the play button on the player while connecting it and hold the button until a window appears to install the player recovery software... before that, install the new driver first. then let windows search for the driver. windows will clear everything up in ur player. NOW U CAN DO UR firmware update... it doesnt matter whether u want to format or not cause the firmware upgrade program will format your player even though u didnt want to do it. its not the formatting problem.. hope this hel
ps.
thanks for reading.

MuVo TX FM memory prob

HELP! I just bought a Muvo 52mb TX FM. I converted my mp3's to WMA format to reduce the size so it can play more songs. When I tried to load 480mb worth of WMA music I was only able to move 228mb worth. Properties show I still have 267mb of free space but I get an error when adding even more file. Since then I loaded the lastest firmware and still no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi, Did you just transfer them straight in as files, not in folders or anything? - if it works in the same way as my Muvo N200, (from the product specs I think it does) there's a limit to how many files you put in the root directory like that. You have to put them in folders first and then transfer the folders onto the player as if they were files. This can either be done just by copy and paste of folders into your 'muvo tx fm media explorer' directory in 'my computer' (just like the media explorer window was for a floppy disc), or folders can be created in media source. There's a step by step explanation of how to do this (with pictures) here.
Folders are really useful for organization too, as you call name them things like 'rock' or 'classical' etc. and then sort your tracks, or give them album names!
Of course if you've already done this, or your muvo works differently to mine, this will be no use to you, but just in case...

Muvo tx fm driver prob

everytime i connect my muvo tx fm to my computer, i always have to install the driver because my computer does not recognize my unit. do i need to update my driver so that i will install it once?

We've seen from some Nano Plus users that the latest version on new players has FM Recording back on again so we'll just have to wait for Creative to post a later version to the website. PB

MuVo TX FM radio prob

Hi!
I have a muvo tx fm (256mb) player which was bought in France.
For a while the fm radio worked just fine. Then the player started to freeze if I try to tune to any station.
Out of approximately 0 attempts I can get the radio work only once. But even if it turns on I still can't tune to any frequency, the player just freezes again.
The only thing I can do after it freezes is to disconnect it from the battery and reconnect again.
I have the firmware version .00.04.
I tried the latest firmware .3.03 but with it the player stops responding right after I switch the radio on. So i downgraded back to the original firmware.
Anyway i still can't get the radio working.
thnx and regards,
Konstantin

st problem:
I'm suffering of the same problem. The player just freezes at 89.00 Mhz when I try to tune in the radio. It's too bad that one need to remove/ replace the battery before it starts again. I am in possession of a Muvo N200 GB.:angry:
2nd problem:
When you try to jump to the next song, the player simply sto
ps.
But the other way around, jumping backwards isn't any problem at all. But it's pretty annoying hearing the same songs over and over again when having capacity of GB.:mansurprised: Could somebody help me, please?

Strange MuVo sq 5.0GB prob

My MuVo 2 5GB FM mp3 player has ceased to operate in what to me seems a very odd way. I'd like to see if anyone else has seen this particular malfunction.
After finishing listening to an audio book, I connected the player to my PC, navigated to the appropriate folder, deleted the book files (mp3), and downloaded some new audio files (wma this time) into the same folder. After the download was complete, I turned off the player and plugged it in to recharge. As usual, the battery state and external power icons flashed alternately, but after about 30 minutes, the display went blank. At that point I disconnected the transformer and hit to power button.
Now the strange part. The display came on showing the date and indicating a full charge, but in addition, one of the files that I had loaded earlier began to scroll, continuously, across the screen from right to left. And, both the power and menu buttons became inoperati've; that is, I could not access any of the menu options, nor could I turn the player off.
By removing and replacing the battery, I was able to access the recovery mode and move through the options. However, none of the options appeared to have any effect except the reboot. When I selected this, I was taken back to the scrolling display and the buttons once again became inoperati've. So, for now it's just a paperweight with a scrolling display.
Anyone have any ideas what has happened? Any ideas as to how to go about fixing it's I will contact Creative tech support and the reseller, but I don't know how successful I'll be in either getting it fixed or replaced.

I have the same problem. My MuVo^2 has also ceased to operate with this strange problem. It simply doesn't go anywhere once I put the battery on just the way you did. Is there any solution to this problem?

Muvo v100 playlist/explorer prob

hello all, I've recently purchased a MuVo v00 MP3 player and am currently trying to add playlists to the device to get around the lack of preset playlists. My first problem is that I cannot open the player with media explorer! It doesnt seem to recognize the player. Any suggestions?

Your main problem seemed to be that you couldn't get it recognized by Media Explorer and my answer was to guide you on that problem. The strange thing about using the non-Admin accounts is that Windows and WMP see the player but only Creative apps don't. The only way to use playlists on the V00 is to create a folder for each playlist and put the songs in the folders. You can then use the Media Explorer Custom Sort function to put them in playlist order. On your last issue, there is a limit of 500 songs and 50-60 folders. On the older players this was a total but on the V00 these limits apply to each of the root, Lib A, B & C folders so you get a total of 2000 songs and 200-240 folders. Go into your player in Windows and move the tracks into less folders - put all the same album tracks into one folder under a Various artist folder. PBMessage Edited by PeeBee on 0-08-200709:0 PM

Muvo slim LCD screen prob

I have bought a Muvo Slim 52 mb. For a few days, I have a problem with LCD screen. There is nothing on the screen, but i can listen mp3. I need help! What should I do?

All I can think to suggest is connecting the player and trying to use the latest firmware to upgrade it.
If this doesn't work then it would seem the screen has failed, and you need to contact Creative Support.

Muvo N200, 1GB installation prob

I made the mistake of connecting the Muvo to my computer before
installing the software. Not a good idea. Even after installing
the software the device manager keeps on indentifying the Muvo
as an "Unknown device". I then tried installing it on my wife's
computer in the proper order and the Muvo was recognized properly.
But I want to install it on my computer. Unfortunately all my
system restore points were overwritten by my many install attempts,
so now I am sunk. I've got to figure out how to fix the damage
manually. Even removing the device using the device manager,
uninstalling the software, reinstalling in the proper order,
and finally connecting the MP3 player doesn't work. When I plug
in the MP3 player itstill recognizes it only as an unknwown
device.

It did work on other computers, so as you pointed out, it was
clear the problem was not with the Muvo N200. I tried updating
the BIOS and all the MotherBoard related drivers. Then I removed
all USB stuff via the Device Manager and let XP put it all back.
... Plugged the muvo back in ...
Drat. It just says "Unknown Device" and does not show another
disk dri've.
> and you could try creating another user account ...
Tried that too. Same problem
> Try using other available USB port ...
The four main USB ports on the MBD back panel were all
in use so I had been using one of the four USB ports on
a PCI add-in card I installed to give me more ports.
I tried switching to the USB ports on the front of the
computer (which are cabled to an aux USB connector on
the motherboard). Same deal - unknown device. (This is
getting old).
Finally I tried unplugging my digital camera base unit
from on the the four main USB ports on the MBD back panel
and I plugged my Muvo N200 into that. Instant Recognition!!!
A new disk dri've appears, and it even knows that it is a
Create Muvo. So then I plugged my digital camera base unit
into the USB add-in card and it works just fine too. (It
also shows up as a disk dri've).
So now all is well except for my fragile understanding.
Here I thought all USB ports were created equal (well except
for the ver verses ver 2 thing). But clearly on my computer
they are not. Perhaps there is someting wrong with my MBD
or its setup that causes this.
Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions, especially since
I don't think I would have figured it out on my own.

Muvo N200 freezing & sounds prob

I've had the Muvo N200 for three weeks now without a problem until the past three days. At first, when I'd turn it off, the screen would freeze and there would be an annoying sound that wouldn't stop. The problem would be temporarily solved when I removed and re-inserted battery or inserted a new one. The player turns on fine, but the same thing would happen again if I tried to turn it off again. But after a while, the thing would freeze and the sound would come back when I try to go to the menu or turn it off. When I turn it on, the player starts playing a random song at a random volume number.

Did you install the new firmware?

Muvo Creative MP3 Player prob

My MUVO Creative MP3 player...as seen here-http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=25&product=099
Well, anyway,Whenever i turn it on, the green light that signals it being on, will flash red, and after about minute or so, turn off, i thought this was just a battery problem..but i switched in a brand new fresh battery...and it still did it, anyone know the problem?
thanks

The manual says that a flashing red light is a battery problem. Have you checked your battery contacts and cleaned them up? How is the player when you connect it to your PC?
You could try a firmware update - there was a new version on the UK site in July of this year. It needs Recovery Mode so make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. You also need to d/l and install the Mass Storage Driver at the top of the page first.

Muvo tx fm sound prob

i just upgraded my firmware successfully from default to version .9.0... after that, i noticed the sound become too loud even at volume #... it also lost the crispness of the sound (radio and music files)...
i also read that there's no way to revert to the default version... does creative have solution on this?

Why you upgraded the firmware ?
you can't go back now. If you have read the messages here in the forums
you have seen why its very bad to upgrade, for no reson.
