Muvo V200 battery deplet

There's a bug in the Muvo V200. If you switch if off when playing .mp3 files, all is OK. But ehn you are listening to FM and switch it off, it seems to switch off correctly (stops radio and blanks the display), but 4 or 20 hours after that (without using the player), the battery is depleted and you can't start it up if you don't change the battery (or recharge it). It happens with alcaline and Ni-MH batteries. It has happened to me 3 times, and now I'm sure that it happens only when I switch off the player in radio mode.
I use latest firmware (.0.03). Could a firmware update solve this bug?
Thank you for your support.

Hello, i have simular problems with my Muvo V200. After some weeks the battery is empty even when i don't use it. Measuring the current when switched off i noticed that there is still a current of mA!! This means that a fully charged battery will be empty after about 700 hours (30 days). I went back to the shop and got another one but it has the same problem.

Zen Sleek Docking Station (Also Muvo V200 Battery Pack) Quest

Does anybody know when the Zen Sleek docking station will be back in stock, or is it in stock anywhere else? I was hoping to get it before christmas. Is there a new one coming out becuase of the Zen Sleek Photo release?
Also I have a Muvo V200, is the Creative? MuVo? NX / MuVo? TX Battery sold in the creative store compatible with this product?
Thanks for the help

The battery pack for the V200 is a different size/shape to the one for the TX, NX, TX FM etc. More important I suppose is whether the actual MP3 module is the same size or not; whether the V200 module will fit in the TX battery compartment or not.
Creative's official answer will probably be that they are different. On first looks they appear different but someone with both players might be able to give you a better answer.

Muvo V200 battery cover's tab l

Hi from Spain,
I've lost the battery cover's tab of my Muvo V200. I've read that Creative has a service in USA were they can supply some spare parts. Anyone knows which is the situation in Europe?. I can't use my Muvo without the this part and is frustrating, 30 euros to the bin, and a wonderful player, for a piece of white plastic.
Thanks

First of all many, many thanks for your help :-D. I will call the phone number today and I hope I get a positi've response. I plan to buy some items from the creative shop for my lovely Zen Micro (I like Creative products, you know, Sound Blaster, EMU, Creative cam... :-)). I was held by this incident though. Why? no one wants a product that is difficult to get spare parts for, at least not me. I trust Creative and I hope their customer support is as good as their products or as their comunity :-D.

MuVo V200 rescue mode How? (battery/play butto

Hi
I read the post above about rescue mode and wanted to try it on my MuVo V200.
For the V200, do I take out the battery, press and hold play button and
then reinsert battery? Or what? I am guessing this from what you have
to do with the other MP3 players you list.
Please advise.
Thanks.

The MuVo's don't have rescue mode, except for the MuVo?.

Petition: Programable play mode for MuVo V200 (and posibly othe

I would like to suggest ti include a programable play mode for MuVo V200 (and N200), I mean, a a play mode wich the user could select one-by-one songs on the MuVo and then the MuVo play those songs in the given order.
Creative may implement this by introducing virtual folders, folders that only contains references to the stored songs, so user could use the existing diferent play modes over those folders.
I think there's no technical reason that avoids this feature, but I know it may be not simple.
Thanks.
PD: Oh, of course I suggest Ogg Vorbis support, I don't care if my battery stands half time (WMV do it also, but no so hard), but I know Creative don't like Ogg Vorbis

The MuVo's don't have rescue mode, except for the MuVo?.

MuVo V200 "dead" after updating firmw

I have a MuVo V200 and i tried to update it with MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__05_02.exe following the installation details provided.
Everithing seemed ok but now the player is dead: it doesn't turn on by battery nor by usb... i tried to apply the firmware again but is impossible 'cause the player is not found in the usb dri've.
What can i do? Plz help me...
PS: is there a way to avoid the pause between two tracks? It's pretty annoying with cd registered in a li've...

Also in terms of gapless playback, about all you can try is encoding the tracks with no ga
ps.
For more see the "gapless playback" link in the FAQ post.

Muvo V200 vs. Muvo TX

What are the differences between the Muvo V200 and the Muvo TX FM? Thanks.

I tested both a long time when I bought one. With the SAME earphones the 200 seems to have the better radio sound and the TX FM the better MP3 sound. The earphones at the 200 seem to be a bit better.
Better in all this cases really means a very marginal difference. Without direct comparison it would be impossible to say this or that is better. I finally bought the TX FM since I mostly listen to MP3. But the FM sound is great too. On the other hand MP3 quality is a problem anyway...and FM quality anyway too... In both cases CD sound is not possible...
If you really want to check the quality take a WAV file. Creative says the players don't play wav but only MP3 or WMA. Just but the WAV file in the folder Voice and it will play. Then compare the wav file to the same MP3 file. It will show you what your player really can and MP3 not...
The functions for both players are the same - so at least I could not find any difference.
I am very happy with my player - so I bought a second one for my girlfriend. Look for a bigger memory size. 52 should be enough - at least for me it is almost too much. The price difference between the sizes is not so huge anymore but the real benefit is!!!
Battery life is great.
The earphones are a bit big - at least for the small ears of my girlfriend.
Don't lose the battery lid - it tends to go a different way than the player...
One more thing. Check the version of the player software and try to get the latest update. A player with version .2 has some problems. Update to .3. The update is easy. Just plug in the player and start the downloaded file and for the rest you will be asked for. Nothing to panic!Message Edited by stindlpeter on 02-03-2005 :46 AM

MUVO V200 Plug

Sometimes when I plug-in my MUVO-V200 into my laptop I don't receive a notification that a device has been pluged-in and my player starts play.
I know that when you have pluged-in the player into the PC you are not able to listen to music using the headphones directly from the player.
I understand that there is no point in listening directly from the player when it is connected to the PC but by this way you are able to use the radio.
Does anybody knows if I am able to listen to radio while the player it is connected to the PC?

What's happening is pins 2 and 3, for data, are not connecting for some reason. With pins and 4 connected it provides power to the MuVo, as if it were running off a battery.

MuVo v200 plaing radio when connected to

Hi,
can I somehow configure MuVo V200 to play Radio (through it's earphones) when it's connected to PC? So to save the battery's when I'm near PC.

Yes, I did - with no result.
But your advices lead me to one more solution, of which I hadn't thought before. I've tried to install the latest firmware (.2.03) in the recovery mode. And guess what? My V200 is fully functional again.
I'm not quite sure if it was the recovery mode or the slightly different file version which made the trick. This time I've used the MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe file (without the "e" suffix). But I'm almost sure I've also tried it in the normal mode before, which lead me to the broken radio function as in case of the MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03e.exe file.
What are the differences between MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03 and MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03e? After extracting these files I can see that their contents differ.

Muvo V200 512MB randomly shuts d

Hi, I have a Muvo V200 52MB.
I usually have to try *many* times before it accepts to turn on. And when it does, it shuts down a few seconds later, randomly. It has an even greater chance of shutting down if I ever dare touching a button.
This is not a battery issue. Tried new batteries, no better luck.
I installed the drivers on my PC, I reflashed the firmware, tried last version, previous version, reformatted the dri've a few times, no better luck.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Well, i have the same problem as it has been mentioned here.i have a Muvo Tx USB 2.0 52 MB without radio.2 days ago when i was listening my mp3 player in the bathtube =), it shut down itself.i did not paid any attention at first but when tried to jump on the next song it again shut down itself.Now my player opens when i press any button once instead of pressing the /0 button a few seconds.And it shuts down when i press any button once a time as it behaves when opening.i cannot reach the menu or any other function. My player only plays the last song from eactly where it'shas been on the last opening. Cannot change it , or jump on to other songs. i had got another problem with it 3 months ago and downloaded NoMad Muvo Tx Firmware v..22.03.(When asking info about firmware, it shows its version as .0.5.675, NoMad Muvo Tx Firmware Download Application)This was a problem which my player did not work and when i had connected it to any PC with a winXP sp2 (both on russian and english) windows only launched the true "ini" files and recognized my player but could not display the player on "my computer". When i had tried to reach my player, windows displayed a message, "Critical I/O error, Couldnt retrieve device info.." The firmware update which i have mentioned above have helped me immediately as well i have no such problems again till the day before yesterday. Now, please what must i do with this buzzling problem Can anybody hear me

Muvo V200 Refuses To Turn

Hello-
Can anyone help me with this problem? When I hold down the button to turn on my Muvo V200 MP# player, the lcd screen will light up and the Creative Muvo logo will appear, but then it shuts off right after that so that I can't use it. I have tried cheanging the battery, but no matter what, it shuts off as soon as I turn it on. Also when it was working, only th back function worked. When I tried to press the forward function, it would shut off.

i basically have the same problem with my month old MuVo V200. it won't power up even after changing the battery. the LCD just blinks when i try to power on. no Creative logo appears. the device is still recognized by my computer because i can still play the music files using windows media player.
is there anything i can do to fix this?
problem is that i can't claim warranty in the Philippines because the unit was bought in Hong Kong. so if this is not fixed, am stuck with a paperweight. an expensi've one at that.
pls. help. thanks.

The MuVo V200 beltclip is a joke, Now I have no player. What Can I

Hello all, I'm very disappointed with the Muvo V200 Beltclip. I have had my Muvo since the 9th Jan 2005 and have been using it all the time and had no problems with it what so ever. But yesterday I had taken my player out with me. I had it connected to the beltclip as always. I had taken my headphones out of my ears when I was asking some bloke a question and did not but them back in till about 0 minutes later. When I put them back in I went to turn my player on, But I could not feel it, I look on my belt and all that was there was the dark grey clip that held the player to the belt. I still had the head phones but they must unplugged when the player fell. I retraced my steps but I had no luck finding my player.
All I have now are the Headphones and a dark grey clip, But looking at the dark grey clip there is a hole at the back, which I think something should have been there.
So as you can imagine, I'm very disappointed. What I would like to ask is, Is the loss of my player covered by the English Warranty?
Because I do believe the Beltclip had failed, letting the player fall from my belt. I done my best to find it, but as I said, to no luck.
All thats left now is the part of the clip and the headphones.

sorry for the poor pic (taken on my phone)Message Edited by DrMartin on 04-04-2005 0:42 AM

On the day it happened I was wearing a shirt that covered the top part of my jeans, So only the headphones would have let people know Im carrying a player, If someone was to take it, the only way to remove it would be to lift it, but I still had the clip part of the holder. If someone did take it by ripping it off I would have known about it.
Ok as for it not disconnecting from the headphones I don't know, My headphones did not fall with it, and I did not feel it falling. What I do know is that I have lost my gig V200.
I will phone Creative first thing Monday, But what I was looking for here was someone who might have had the same thing happen with the V200 or another MP3 player, and did the Warranty cover it's

A Problem With Muvo V200 !!

Hi everybody, I've bought a Muvo V200 GB, and it works well , less one thing:
When the blue light is activated I feel a very "high-pitched" sound, and it's very unpleasant.
Can somebody tell me if there is a firmware that fix that problem ?
I've tried to format the usb flash but I still have this problem. And I've also seen some posts in other forums that complain about that.

No, the problem is with the V200 hardware itself, not the headphones. But using a higher impedance phone results in this high frequency noise being greatly attenuated. Being a hardware issue, there is no possible firmware fix for this. The only option is to go to a higher impedance phone (the Koss KSC-75 sounds great and is available for $5 from amazon.com) or li've with the problem. You can of course set the player to have the backlight always off - this will also eliminate the problem except at startup but will make adjustments more difficult in the dark.

MUVO V200 Help Required

Hi,
I recently purchased a MUVO V200 with 52 mb memory.
My first problem was the FM radio would not work, but I have since put this down to it requiring more power from the batteries than standard music. Bit of a pain as my rechargable batteries, even when fully charged won't allow the FM radio to work. Is this normal?
My main problem; is since reformating the dri've and loading new firmware, the player will only store 00 songs, the packaging advises 256 songs. Can anyone explain if there is anything I can do to enable me to load more songs.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
James

I have Uniross 770mAh, Energizer 850mAh and Hahnel 900mAh, all .2V and all work fine.
You can convert the files you have to a different bit-rate using the Audio Converter function of MediaSource that came with your player. If you use MediaSource to rip your CDs then you can set it up to rip at a lower bit-rate right from the start.
MediaSource and V200 Media Explorer also have a SmartFit function where the files can be reduced in size as you transfer them to your player, though this slows down the transfer process and you would have to do it again if you reloaded the same files again at a later date.
If these are files from an online music store then you probably can't convert them directly because of the license issues, but you can burn them to an audio CD then re-rip them at a lower bit-rate. If you use a CD-RW then you don't end up wasting a load of CD-Rs.

Despite that I cannot copy all my files.
Does anyone knows wht is going on?
Thank you.
