MuVo V100 Prob

Hello,?I have had the Creative MuVo V00 for quite a few months now. Up till very recently, I have been having no problems with it until now.
I added some new songs to?a folder?and when I play the folder on the Mp3?it skips?the songs completely and I am not able to find them!?However, it'sworks perfectly fine on the computer. At first I put?them in a folder?(which already had songs in it before)?under 'Root' and then?I moved all of them under 'Library B'. It still skips the same songs in both folders when I try playing it. Another problem is that sometimes, the order of the folders under 'Root' change. If anyone has solutions to these problems, I would be very grateful!

I don't think that the MuVo series can address sub folders [folders within other folders].
I save albums in separate folders on my computer and then drag an entire album folder to my MuVo, so I'll usually have 6 or more folders at a time in my 52 Mb MuVo.
You could do it as playlists too- a group of songs in each folder, but I don't think that the MuVo can access a folder inside another folder, because of file structure limitations.

  • 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 V100 Won't Connect - How do I install the driver alone? Where on the disk is

    First of all, I've read through the FAQ, etc., the Creative Knowledge Base, searched the forum, and read the manual, etc. and I cannot find an answer.
    In short, all I want to do now is try installing the Muvo V00 driver alone to see if that fixes my problems with the PC not fully recognizing and communicating with the Muvo V00. And then maybe try using it on a friend's PC to see if it works. I'd have done that already except the friend li'ves quite some disctance. If that doesn't work, this thing is going back and I'm not sure I even want to try an exchange.
    I'd be very appreciati've of any help you can provide. Thanks!
    My tale of woe:
    I have a Windows XP Home PC and I cannot get the PC to fully recognize the existence of the Muvo V00. I've installed and uninstalled the software (Creative Media Explorer and Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer and I guess the driver) several times and the PC doesn't recognize the existence of the Muvu V00. I follow the installation instructions exactly and it just doesn't work.
    I have tried using the Muvo V00 after uninstalling the software, and the PC recognizes that a "mass storage device" is attached, but it won't provide a dri've letter until I try to "Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device". And during the Safely remove process, which strangely gives me an hourglass for many minutes, it finally runs the Autoplay routine, but that gives an hourglass and never finishes and I have to cancel it. And then the "Safely remove routine" finally comes back and safes it can't be safely removed, try later, even though no other applications are accessing the Muvo V00. Then, surprisingly, the PC displays a dri've letter for the USB Mass Storage Device (the Muvo V00), but when I try and access it, all I get is an hourglass.
    By the way, I'm in Information Technology so I somewhat know what I'm doing. So far, tech support has been less than helpful and has only provided a link to the Knowledge Base!

    I have the same problem with my new Muvo V00. Before installing, I tried turning off all antivirus and every program I could think to turn off that I usually have running. My computer refused to recognize the Muvo V00. I called customer service, they sent me directions to do a clean install. This involves editing the things that load with windows so that nothing interferes with the installation. I tried that. (Now I get a nice boot up message asking if I want to load windows or go to the Restore utility.)
    I found information in the Creative knowledge base about permissions. So, tried editing the permissions to the USB and USBSTOR. After everything I tried, either my computer would recognize the Muvo for a few seconds and then forget it existed, or my computer acted like I hadn't installed it in the first place. I've gotten the dri've letter after one reboot and lost the whole thing on the next reboot. The Creative software either didn't find the Muvo, or if it did, it froze when I tried to access the device from the menu.
    I've used restore points to revert my computer to before installation, and tried reinstalling. I tried updating my bios (which got it to recognize the Muvo for the longest time ... about an hour. Then, my computer froze.
    I tried downloading the dri'ves for the NOMAD as was suggested here. But that didn't work either. First, I got the message that I had newer drivers on my machine and the whole installation program closed. (Uninstalling the drivers and using the downloaded ones didn't work either.)
    The weirdest thing is that my friend's computer recognized the device immediately. AND my computer fully recognizes her Muvo TX--even the creative software recognizes it perfectly!!
    I'm at a loss. If my friend wanted to trade devices, all would be well. But she loves her TX.
    Before I realized that my friend's Muvo TX works perfectly, I was convinced that my Windows XP was corrupted or something. Apparently, it's not.
    If anyone can give me any advice or help (there might be something out there that I haven't tried), I'd appreciate it. The thing is that the V00 was a gift. I'd hate to have to ask for the receipt to return it, but that's what I may end up having to do.
    Good luck to all with similar problems.

  • Order of tracks in MuVo V100

    My MuVo V00 currently plays the tracks of an album in alphabetical order, not in the order of the album. How do I change this? The tracks have been ripped by using MuVos own program.

    I have a Zen NanoPlus, which I think uses the same folder format as a Muvo. You have to have your files labled with a track number, such as "0-Crush.wma". Again, I'm assuming the Muvo is similar to the Nano (it used to be pretty much identical). To fake a playlist, you do the same thing in appending the filename with an additional number, such as "0-04-Born in the USA.wma" . Creative used to have a utility that did this for you but I lost it long ago. You could drag the files around in a "playlist" and it would rename them for you, thereby keeping the order you wanted. Jump in here anybody on this one---my memory is failing. It was about 3 years ago I used that.
    UPDATE---this was bugging me so I did a search. Apparently, the included Zen Media Explorer software contains this feature (although I use a version of that now and no longer recall this feature being available. I DID, however, find an old post and link by SSR about "Reorganize", a freeware application that looks as though it should solve this issue. The screenshot looks similar to an old Rio manager program I used to use for playlists on that device (before I gave that old Rio to my son as a mobile replacement for his Zen Micro---his HD crashed once and was repaired under extended warranty but he is now afraid of a hard-dri've based player---me too---my Zen Touch died last week for no apparent reason).
    I now have my older NanoPlus and a brand-new Zen. I have to say I still like that little Nano, as you can't beat the convenience of a AAA battery when not home. I had a flight attendent comment on how small it was once. The biggest drawback, though, is the playlist issue. Maybe this "Reorganise" will solve that. Haven't tried it yet, but the download link is still there......http://www.oli'ver-frietsch.de/reorganize/index.php?lng=en

  • MUVO V100 2GB only accepting 1GB if mu

    whats up with My Muvo V00 2gb?
    it is only taking GB worth of data, on my MAC (itunes) or on MY pc, (drag and drop)
    so far not impressed!?
    RW

    A pain? The folders are for organization. Instead of for example having 400 files all in one folder, if you have 20 folders each having around 20 songs, it will be much easier to manage. This also makes the repeat folder a very useful tool. You can have folders based on artist, or based on time released, 70s, 80s, etc. , classical, Jazz, etc. Depending on which firmware you have, you could even have folders within folders, however if files are too deply nested, ie. folder in folders in folders, the player might not see them.

  • Muvo NX prob

    I am having a bit of a problem with my Muvo NX. It's been working great for about 6 months now, but yesterday when I was moving some files onto it, it stopped mid-transfer. I tried to restart the transfer but it froze again. I tried to delete the files in question and it froze again. I reformatted the player, tried with some other files, but came up with the same result. It seems to fill up at about ~30MB (its a 256MB unit). It seems to have no problem accessing the files in the first half of memory. Any recommendations are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    () Stated MB capacities are always approximate, especially because of the differing uses of powers (some say ,024, others says ,000) as well as formatting, storage for player-related files, and other issues.
    (2) You may also have filled your root directory (about 30 files); sometimes the error message when this happens is along the lines of "disk full". Create some directories and move your files into them.
    (3) And the ".trash" folder probably was trash.

  • MuVo V100 Playing Downlo

    I am having a problem with my daughter's MuVo V00. This is the second one that I have purchased and I have no problems with the first one. I download the songs into Windows Media Play and Sync them to the MP3. The songs show up in when I plug the MP3 into the PC and play them on Windows Media Player and they show up on My Computer, but I can't get the songs I synced to play when the MP3 is not plugged into the computer. Any advice?

    Sounds a bit like my problem. I have downloaded an audio book from Net Library into Library A Folder on the MuVo V00 I just bought today. I see the title and author scrolling by on the screen, but there is no sound. The timer does not advance either.
    Yes, the ear buds are plugged in and the volume is on medium.
    (I heard the Welcome intro from Creative about 100 times already)
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Problem with MuVo V100 "No Music&qu

    My son got a Creative MuVo V00 GB as a gift a month ago. It was easy to put music on it. I loaded about 50 songs for him and he enjoyed listening to them. Then I tried to add another few songs for him and all seemed to be fine. Then he said all of the sudden he had "no music". When powering on the player it says "No Music". I can't for the life of me to get anything to work on it now. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help. My little boy is antsy for his player to work again.

    Do you have the music still on your pc If so, then reconnect the player to the pc and see if the music shows up on the player in Windows Explorer. The best idea to get music on the player is to create some folders on the hard dri've, copy music into them, then drag and drop the folders into the player.

  • No Music in MuVo V100

    Now my MuVo V00 says it has No Music when switched on even though it is full of songs. Done formatting, used Tools in the player to Error check etc several times. Still No Music !!! I know others have the same problem. But can't see any real solution offered in this forum. Or simply the player has run its course after less than 2 years of use ? Any tips out there ? Thanks.

    I wonder if youstill have this" No Muisc" problem. As I have the same issue again today, I hook up my V00 to the net and use Creative Labs'? MP3 Player? Recovery tool which is avilable onsite here. A new firmware will be downloaded to the player which erases the whole player. So you need to backup your exisitng files if you want to keep them. After I reload all the music to my V00, it plays fine again. It was playing alright this morning until I tried to changed track without looking at it and kept pressing and rolled the wheel, that's when I got this NO Music thing again.

  • I am not able to format my creative Muvo V100 model mp3 pla

    Hi
    I am not able to format my Creative Muvo V00 model Mp3 player.As i connect it to pc to format it is showing the icon but when i right click on that icon to get the format option it is not responding?me.More i tried in windows explorer also there also it is not responding to my instructions.So please suggest me which?antivirus will resolve my problem.
    Even i dont know how to upload my firmware..Can u suggest the site where that firmware will be available for me in free of cost. I need help please call me 996957368

    rusaus: I'm guessing there aren't a lot of MuVo? owners here. You could try the manual (which you can download here I think), or ask the same question over at JumpingCholla's Usenet server which definitely has some MuVo? owners.

  • Muvo V100 new owner help ple

    I've downloaded and read the manual and searched and read every muvo thread here. I'm clearly missing something that must be very simple.
    I have 4 albums in folders named by artist in the root directory. None in libraries A-C. Also in the root folder is a folder named LRC, one named mymusic2 one named recorded tracks.
    When I turn on the player there is nothing that looks like a file browser- nothing that shows what cds are on the player. All it shows is information about the specific song that's playing. None of the icons or settings seem to show information about the name or content of any of the folders or even of the muvo itself. The only way I've found to go from one cd to another is to move song by song until I get to the first song on another album. That might be ok with only 4 albums but if I put a few more albums on I'd end up forwarding through over 00 songs just to get to the last album. I tried the skip folder icon but nothing changed- I assume because they are all in the root folder. I've looked at all the settings etc and can't figure out what to do.
    From what I read here, others have folders by artist and seem to be able to identify contents. I have several other mp3 players so I'm not completely ignorant about them but this one is beyond me.
    What am I doing wrong? I can still return it but I'd like to see if I can get it to work first.

    If you press in the scroller button you should get to the menu. Select Skip Folder and you should see a folder name with x/y after it where x is the number of the current folder out of a total of y folders. Press the scroller left or right to go through the folders - only the folders with music files in will show. Press the scroller in to select the folder you want. PB

  • My MuVo V100 won't work in my computer anymore.

    My husband just got a new mp3 player. Since we hooked it up to our computer, my computer doesn't reconize my MuVo V00. I no longer have the hardware for it. Is there anything I can do to get my computer (I have Windows Xp) to reconize my mp3 player?

  • Muvo TX Prob

    I received a Creative Muvo TX for Christmas as a present. I enjoyed using it, but nearly immediately, I experienced problems.
    What has been occurring is whenever I use my player, eventually, after an indeterminate amount of time, the player will freeze in the middle of playback and will emit a buzzing noise into the headphones. At that point I cannot turn the player off or adjust anything. It leaves me no options but to remove the unit from the battery pack and wait a while, then try again. Sometimes, it will not even progress past the opening Creative logo at all. Thinking it may be something to do with a corrupt file or something similar, I formatted completely the memory and started anew, using only one song as a test. That song froze as well. I also checked to upload new firmware, but I already had the latest version installed.
    Thinking I may have overlooked the simplest solution, I installed a new battery and it appeared to help, but less than a half hour into playback, I was experiencing the same problem again: the player froze and emitted this buzzing/static sound into the headphones.
    This is utterly frustrating and I await any help I can get on the situation. Thank you in advance.

    I don't have the same problem as you, but something a little similar. My Muvo TX will freeze once or twice about 30 minutes after putting in a new battery. Once I get past these, the device works fine again until I put in a new battery. Before it freezes, I will hear a little static. It might be interesting to try your Muvo with a battery that doesn't have a full charge and see if it does any better.

  • Muvo v100 and Spiralf

    I have a (new) Muvo v00. I have loaded some music from when I was using Napster with no problems.
    I am trying to use the Spiralfrog service I just learned about. I can drag and drop them, and they show up in the player, but do not play...the numbers do not advance, nada.
    I tried to upload the Spiralfrog music via MediaSource 5 as I thought might work from reading the forums and the music won't transfer at all..."error transferring...". ?
    I have restored the player with the program on the Creative website and reinstalled the software on the disk.
    I am not usually computer stoooopid, but geez, this is frustrating.
    Any help (with details) will be much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    P.S. I bought this this (what I think is a cool little player) to substitue my dinosaur Samsung Napster (printed on the player) YP-90 that Napster no longer supports. I used to be able to buy a single song, add it to a play list through their Napster software and be on my way. Now, they no longer support their own player and sent me pages upon pages of instructions on how to roll back WMP to use it to load music. Bah. Thanks for listening

    I also have a problem with my Mp3 player Muvo V00 months old, It happened that the mp3 player lost some music files by itself and when I turned it on I could only listen to few songs on it. Afterward, I connected it to my PC but it wasnt responding and the computer system told me that the windows was unable to save all the data for the player ( File H: ), and it showed?" Delayed write faillde, the data has been lost. Save the file somewhere else" on the computer. What is the solution to this ? Can someone help me out

  • Lost CD of creative MuVo V100 2GB

    I lost my CD of my MuVo V00 2GB. I need the Creative Media Explorer where you can transfer songs to the player and set the order of the songs. Is there a download for it's My firmware is .05.0e. I already looked here http://support.creative.com/Products...ame=MP3+Player but the software I need is not listed there.
    Thanks in advance

    Re: Lost CD of creative MuVo V00 2GB8 The software is at FileSavr file hosting.
    This is the creative labs software for the Muvo mp3 player. This version will work for Windows XP. I did not upload these to infringe on any copyrights, I uploaded them so that people who have lost their Muvo software for XP can reclaim it. The version of the software on this site is for Vista only.
    Here are the files:
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/a0456f/n/muvo_exe
    another version:
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/a045...o_software_nbi
    The first is a winraw file. Put it on your hard dri've, extract, and it should install. The second version is for folks who have nero. Download it, burn it onto a CD, then instal it from the CD. Either way, if anyone finds this useful, I strongly suggest you burn a copy and save it for yourself. The files will only stay on the site as long as people keep downloading them. Once the files are gone from the site, that's it. I will not upload them again.
