MuVo V200 FAT32 vs. FAT/FAT16 (and VFA

Hi
I have just bought the MuVo V200 and it has firmware version .0.03e which I believe supports
FAT32 even thought the manual (out of date?) says it does not support FAT32.
Anyhow, are there any advantages of using FAT32 over FAT, since GB is not a massi've storage
space and I think therefore that FAT is probably better suited to the MuVo V200?
Also, by FAT does Creative mean FAT6? And furthermore, do they mean VFAT(?), (virtual FAT6)
which does support long filenames etc
Finally, I see some people have had their MuVos *freeze* on them; this is the worst news ever
and I do not want that to happen to me ever! So, is formatting to FAT32 more likely to cause
the unit to freeze? (or less likely? or no difference?)
Thanks in advance

If you've already tried a format (several times) and a firmware reload, then it's likely there is a hardware problem with the player. It would be best to contact Customer Support for assistance.

  • HELP!!! MuVO V200 Fat32 NO RESPOND

    I have big problem. I have MuVo V200 and i format it using FAT32. My Mp3 no responding. I can't format it to FAT/FAT6. My?system:?WINDOWS XP SP2. PLIZ HELP
    !!! My mail: [url=mailto:[email protected]">[email protected][/url]

    Try putting the V200 into Recovery Mode first. This is done by holding the play button and then connecting the V200 to your PC via the USB port.
    When it is in Recovery Mode then try loading the V200 firmware.
    To put it into Recovery Mode you might need these drivers:

    Download and install these to your PC first.

  • My MuVo V200 doom

    so here is the thing:
    i bought my muvo v200 maybe few years ago and it has been working perfectly since it started to have problems connecting with my pc. it couldnt kinda connect with the pc. when i put it into my usb port the sound of "new device connected" played and right after it the sound of the device is unplugged and again connect/disconnect sound and it keeps doing that as long as the stick is put into the usb port.
    so when it was doing that first time the problem disappeared eventually. but now the problem appeared again and it wouldnt disappear. so i read about the recovery device and tried to do the things mentioned in that post, even more problems appeared. before that event i was able to listen music with the player but couldnt connect it with my pc. now, when i tried to flash the new firmware on it there was an error which said something about timeout during the update and then the update was cancelled.
    well there was that text blinking that do not disconnect the device during update, and then the error came so it kinda disconnected it during the update. now i cannot even put it on anymore, so i cannot listen to music anymore with my muvo .
    i've tried to connect it with my second computer which just have been formatted and windwos has been reinstalled on it. same problem there with connecting and updating.
    even my computer's bios displays that 4 usb devices are connected, and when i put muvo to the usb port it shows 5 devices connected, and after a few seconds it shows 4 and again 5 and so on...
    is there anything i could do or is my player completely doomed?

    If the firmware download was interrupted unfortunately the only way to fix the player is directly reprogramming the ROM, which is beyond what a user can do. You'll most likely have to pay for Creative to repair the player.

  • Muvo v200 Vol

    Well hi there
    Just wanted to say i'm really dissapointed in Creative...no thats not the right phrase for it...goddammit i'm REALLY PISSED!
    Got my Muvo v200 for some time now and hell i loved my lil' friend but recently my old firmware got smacked up.
    So naturally i installed a new fresh actual firmware but now the fuxx'in volume scale is set to 25 instead of 40 what was just right for my taste.
    Now the volume is much too low and no matter which firmware i install the scale don't change back to the old 40 its still stuck at 25.
    I messed 2 hours now in this board to find a solution but it seems there isn't any.
    Creative fix this problem SOON or ya can have this piece of junk back and give me my money back 'coz the player is after the firmware update totally useless to me 'coz I LIKE IT LOUD! Right now i would even install hacked firmware to get the old scale back.Message Edited by Reb0rny4k on 05-26-200705: PM

    I got my N200 yesterday and plugged in some old walkman headphones (didn't want to rip the bag on the new ones in case i didn't like the player). I couldn't hear anything. I cranked up the volume and could hear it as it got to about 25. I put in the supplied creative earbuds and noticed it was way better. However, i listen to rock music and i like it loud. I need the volume at least 35 for what i am used to. Sometimes i would argue full volume is not loud enough. I am in UK and haven't looked into whether i have the ;e; version.
    To me, having the volume range as -40 is a complete waste of time -25 is pointless. It would take less scroller clicks if we had the traditional -0 (with larger increments) or even - for rock music (anyone remember Spinal Tap!)

  • Mac Mini and MuVo V200 problem

    I have Mac Mini .83 a few months now. Yesterday, I've, for the first time, tried to connect my MuVo V200 via USB. The problem is that Mac simply can't see MuVo at all!!! With other devices I have no problem. What I suppose to do?
    Thanks anyone who can help?

    Did you have the Mac before you bought the Muvo V 200? You should have read the box and listed requirements,if you bought this yourself. Below are the minumum requirements for the Muvo V 00 or 200.

  • Muvo V200 Starts up for one second and then shuts do

    Hi,
    I bought my Muvo V200 two weeks ago and was delighted with the quality. Yesterday I went to use it and it starts up to reveal the Creative logo and then shuts down straight away. Now the computer wont recognise it either (although a graphic does appear on the muvo screen saying that it is connected to the computer). Ive tried updating the firmware but the installer gets errors. What do I do?

    Other people have had the same trouble so I don't think it's because you're in an Internet cafe, but it would be better if you had access to a PC that you could install the drivers onto. Without them you can't get into Recovery Mode.
    Perhaps someone in the Internet cafe would logon as an Admin for you so that you could load the drivers and carry out the firmware reload?
    Have you not got access to another PC?

  • 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?.

  • Double installation : muvo v200 and zenmi

    Hi ,
    I'm new in mp3 player world and i bought one creative player : muvo v200 and installed it correctly;
    In a second time i bought a Zen Micro and i wonder if i must install it with CD or simply connect it ?
    If i install the Zen micro with cd , the first player muvo v200 will be recognizable as it does ?
    And then i can use both players without any problems ?
    thanks in advance for answers
    Christian

    You should always install the software from all your product CDs. Don't worry about double installation. The installation program will know whether to overwrite the files. For example, if the software that came with the Zen Micro is newer, than it will overwrite the same software that came with the MuVo v200. Different product CDs may also install different plugins for your different MP3 players.

  • Muvo V200 1GB. 50 folder li

    Hello all.
    I have just bought a Muvo V200 GB, upgraded the firmware to the last version (.0.03) and formated it to FAT32.
    I have the following problem: If I fill the unit with mp3 in folders (more than 50), the muvo only sees 50 folders. The mp3 in remaining folders cannot be accessed. Regardless of what folders I move, the muvo only sees up to 50 folders.
    Any clue?
    Thanks.

    The newest firmware for the TX FM solves exactly the 50 folder-issue, so I guess the next one for the V200 will do so as well.
    Since then you will have to wait and use less folders. Or does it help to use subfolder more often?
    I noticed that I am able to put more files in a subfolder (>350) on my TX FM then I can put in the root (<300). Perhaps it is the same thing with number of folders?

  • 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.

  • MUVO V200 - Disk Drive is F

    I am having a problem with the disk space of my Muvo V200.
    The capacity is GB but yesterday when I tried to copy 600MB of mp3 files I got the message that disk dri've is full.
    The player was empty. I formatted it but there was still the same problem. There was not any hidden file in my player of in the files that I tried to copy.
    I am starting to copy the files and when I receive this message I go to the properties and it says that I have USED SPACE:540MB and FREE SPACE:453MB.
    Despite that I cannot copy all my files.
    Does anyone knows wht is going on?
    Thank you.

  • Soft screeching sound on Muvo V200 when backlight is on

    Um, anyone pls help me... I just bought my Muvo V200 and the first time I on it, there's a soft screeching and disturbing sound.. But when the backlight off, the sound disappears.. When i press a button, the backlight ons and the same screeching sound comes out... The sound is like (YEEEEEEE)... PLease reply to me asap anyone.. Thanks.

    Just disable the backlight if the sound bothers you. It is very easy. Just set the backlight time to zero. Using 32 ohm earphones rather than 6 ohm ones might make the backlight noise almost inaudible if you find a need to use the backlight.
