My Zen Extra not transferring Mp3 prope

Lately I have had a problem with the quality of some mp3 downloads. For example, the mp3 plays fine on my computer, but when I transfer it to my Zen extra the voice on the mp3 is real deep and it sounds kinda like it's playing in slow motion. Help!!!

scntaxpro: Is it all files on the player, or just those transferred recently?
Have you run a disk cleanup on the player? To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
Does this Zen Xtra have a manually upgraded hard disk?

  • Zen Extra Not Detected after upgr

    Hi All,
    I have a 30GB Zen Extra with firmware .03.02 and an XP ServPak 2 laptop with all current critical updates. This morning I upgraded from MediaSource Organizer 2.0.07 to Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38.
    When I run MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38 it does not detect my Zen Extra (it says "player not connected"). When I run the old version of MediaSource Organizer (version 2.0.07) it detects the player just fine.
    I tried to look thru the Knowledge Base but all of my search terms did not provide any useful answers.
    Any way to get MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38 to connect to my Zen Extra?
    And why is the old version of MediaSource Organizer still on my system? Shouldn't the upgrade delete it's
    Thanks!

    must be a common issue. Same thing happens to me with my Zen Sleek.
    What I'm going to try is deleting ALL Creative stuff and starting over. It is probably a software bug. I don't expect it to work, but I will give it a shot.

  • Zen Extra not turning on on batt

    My Zen Xtra 30gb is not turning on with battery. It is working fine if I plug in the power cable. Any body has any clue on this? Pls help.

    It could be a faulty battery, or if the player has been left for a long time without charge it can cause problems with the battery voltage running too low. See here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

  • Trouble with my zen extra 40 gig mp3 pla

    What did I do wrong?
    I updated the firmware, the computer sees the player, now it sees it as a 20 mb hd plus, the firmware tells me that the device is not pluged in even though the computer sees it. it's in a recovery mode and seems impossible to access. Hope this is not a los cause. Any help on this will be greately appreciated.

    You are victim number 224 of creatives bug ridden firmware update. Have a look through the recent threads and you will find that this has been happening for a while now. A few people have managed to get their Zen working again but not many. You could email creative support but you won't get any useful help, just an ?85 bill to replace it.

  • Zen Extra "USB Device Not Recognized" ??? HEL

    Hi all,
    I had a MPIO 20 gb MP3 player wich was stolen. No biggy, I took advantage of it and upgraded to a Nomad Jukebox Zen Extra 30gb. It look and feel nice and the navigation seems really easy. Where it gets more difficult is the "simple" pluging in!!! No matter wich USB port I use on my PC, I always get the "USB Device Not Recognized" message. Front port, motherboard port nor soundcard port (Audigy2) dont work.
    Any advice, I really need help here!
    Thx for your time,

    I just bought a Zen Micro and had the same problem, the issue is with the USB cable. I had an extra cable from my digital camera and using it, the Zen Micro was recognized immediately. I've seen the issue posted here by other people too. You could try to return the player and chance getting another one with the same problem. If I didn't have a spare one, I would have just picked up a new one up at Radio Shack or Best Buy...

  • Zen MicroPhoto not playing tracks in proper ord

    Hey all,
    Just got this player and it is pretty good. Having one problem though. Some albums do not play songs in the proper order. Instead they are played in alphabetical order. I checked the tag information on the player and it reads the tracks as having no track number. And when I check them through Zen Media Explorer no track numbers are there. But Windows Explorer clearly shows the proper track numbers in the tag information.
    I think the player does not read some tags properly. I had a Phillips based player before this one and it did not have this problem, nor did my RCA Lyra.
    This is a make or break situation for this player. I need it to play my album songs in the proper order.
    Thanks,
    Ply

    Ok,
    Found out what was wrong. Dragging and dropping through Windows explorer was causing the problem. Dragging and dropping through the Zen explorer properly transfers the track tags. Don't know why it makes a difference, but ohwell, at least it works now...

  • Zen Extra 30

    Hello I have just updated my Zen Extra 30GB unit to the latest firmware 2.0.03.
    I have also updated to Media Source 5.0.38 twice and still notice the following.
    )?? When I attach my player to my pc via usb, it is very slow to recognise the player, it takes approximately 2 minutes before the files are listed to screen.
    2)?? When I search my music library the results are almost instant, not so when I search my mp3 player it can take 5 minuets or more and this is only using about 6GB of the 30GB available.
    3)?? Also I have noticed that when selecting my mp3 player in the sources pane Genre, Artist & Album panes are no longer available, but are when viewing my music library.
    I also have a second Creative unit, a Zen NX 30GB and I don?t have any of the above problems with this unit. Strange?
    Using Windows XP Pro with all updates installed. Windows Media Player installed and rolled back to version 0 to enable creative firmware update.
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Pat D.

    What you are expierencing are the results of the PlayforSure firmware in your Zen Xtra. Its just sucks, I wish had not upgraded. The only way to make your computer sync faster with the Zen Xtra is to place your music in folders. For example group your music by Album, Genere, or Artist. This will lesson the amout of items it must load at startup and in windows.Also...make sure?you are using USB 2.0 controllers?in your computer, it sounds like you may be?using .. Or is 5 min loading 6 GB an exageration?At any rate. The PlayforSure firmware is alot?slower than the plain firmware, and you will loose some functionality with Media Source.Message Edited by TimT on 0-6-200708:54 AM

  • Zen Extra "Unknown error, attempt unsuccessf

    I'm getting script errors when i try to contact tech support so Im hoping someone in the forum can help.
    I have been transfering files to my Nomad Zen extra via Nomad Explorer for some time now without any problems. However, ever since I defragmented and cleaned my hard dri've, everytime I try to cut and paste my files to the Nomad, it says an unknown error has occurred and the attempt is unsuccessful. I have tried uninstalling the driver and explorer several times, ran for viruses, and reset my settings and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any idea as to why this happened?

    Tried a disk cleanup? To run a Disk Cleanup you need to access the Rescue Mode. To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks.

  • Zen Nano Plus transfering DRM licensed WMA fi

    Hello, I have a new Zen Nanao Plus and have no problem transferring MP3 files to the device, I have also purchased licensed WMA albums off Tesco and can play them no problem on the PC but they will not transfer to the Zen no matter what, cut and paste, drag and drop you name it...what am I doing wrong? Could someone from Creative advise Thanks

    I don't think Creative software tries to convert a DRM file--you can't anyway. I have used Nano Plus Media Explorer for all my files (use it mainly as I use the psuedo-playlist function) and it moves over WMA DRM files that play fine. I use the smartfit (or whatever they call it there-have the preferences set up to shrink everything to 64KBS WMA) in that application and it works fine, ignoring DRM files. My files are a variety from Napster, MSN, Yahoo. All work fine.

  • Playback error after song plays on Zen Extra 4

    I have two Zen Extra 40gb models. Just updated the firmware to the latest version. BIG MISTAKE - now each player flashes a playback error message window after each song is played. It will go on to the next song fine, but the message is annoying.
    Creative tech support gave no workable answer. I'm very disappointed. I guess I should have left well enough alone.
    Tech support suggested reformat and reload, but I didn't have the problem on either player before firmware update - that should tell creative they have a firmware issue. It's not my MP3 files at fault. They play fine in three different pc's in my home.
    Anyone have experienced this same issue, and what was the fix?
    Thanks

    I actually think I figured it out. It plays normally if the songs are in the selected music tab. I want to play them in the media library though. But the thing is, I somehow had the option to change the play mode when I was in the Artist list. I don't know how. I'm going to research it more. If anyone knows how to help us please let us know!

  • HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer.  is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios?  I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

    Hi Dennis!
    I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:
    Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod

  • Error message: ""/Library/StartupItems/IntegoCommon" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."

    I recently got a new Macbook Pro. I transferred my info from my old mac. Now when I startup my Macbook Pro, I get this error message "“/Library/StartupItems/IntegoCommon” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings." I have run Disk Utility, but nothing has changed.
    Thanks!

    Uninstall any Intego junk according to its instructions and ensure that all its components have been completely eradicated from your Mac. You may need to download Intego's installer so that you can run its uninstaller.
    Intego will make your Mac run very poorly, unacceptably so. Never install such junk on a Mac.

  • MY CREATIVE ZEN M NOT DETECED BY WINDOWS OR ZEN ME

    HELLO, i have a serious situation here. i had my zen for about 3 months and i love it. but about 2 weeks ago, i wanted to transfer new music and video to my player. i noticed at first that not all my music shows in my zen media or my windows media. i do have all the componets to my cpu. i have windows xp serivce pak 2 and i have windows media 0. well n-e way, i also have real player. i pulled real player and i noticed that every piece of music and video i have was there. so i decided to sync it to my device using real. at first it transferred, so of course i get ready for bed and i noticed it was taking a while. so i figured when i get up it will be done. well it wasn't, it only transferred four songs and it downloaded everything from my cpu to my device. i had folders in there that i never seen. so i figured let me delete everything and start over, but using windows media. when i did that, it tells me that windows media player does not detect a portabel device, connect your device, and then try again. so i clicked on the web help option that comes with that error to see if they can give me some info. it gives me a code c00d79 and that is the reason why it is not connecting. so i searched the internet to see if i can anything comes under this code, join discussions and also email creative. alot of info i have found in the codes, but not this paritcular one. then i called dell techincal support because that is where i purshaced my zen. they couldn't help me. so today i went to the knowledge support and i found info on the same problem that i am experiencing. so i did everything. checked the device manager. my comp reads that the zen is there, but windows and media doesn't. so i did the back up regristy and also for the usb, still nothing. so it says to contact tech support and of course, there is none, unless u pay a fee. i work long hours and the hours are impossible for me to contact. the only way is if they work weekends and they dont. i am lost at this point. it will be 3 weeks exactly tomorrow that my zen is not working. i can not go another day without my device. i am starting to think i need to return my device for a new one. this is my last option. PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Anyone who can help?
    Please!
    At least give me some ideas please.

  • Zen Nano not recognized by AudiblePla

    I bought a Zen Nano (not the Plus version) exclusi'vely to listen to Audible books. I installed the software that came with the CD on my Windows 98SE PC, including the Zen Nano version of AudibleManager. When I connect the Nano to a USB port, it is recognized by Windows Explorer as an external hard dri've. It is also recognized by Creative MediaSource Organizer and Creative Zen Nano Media Explorer. I am able to copy MP3 files to/from the Nano and listen to MP3s on the player.
    However, AudibleManager insists the Nano is not connected. I have used Audible for years and had no trouble connecting with other portable players such as the Rio500 or two Pocket PC PDAs. When I installed the same version of AudibleManager from the Nano CD on my work laptop, which runs Windows XP, it immediately recognized the Zen Nano when I plugged it into a USB port. So, the problem seems to be related to Windows 98SE. I've installed the latest USB drivers from my motherboard manufacturer and have reinstalled Win98SE, the Zen Nano software, and AudibleManager. The result is the same -- AudibleManager does not see the Zen Nano.
    I've been working with Audible support, but they finally threw up their hands and said that, based on the debug report I'd sent them, the Zen Nano is not returning the USB device ID to their application, so it cannot connect with the device under Windows 98SE. They seem to imply that the problem is with Creative rather than with Audible. The Zen Nano is advertised by both Audible and Creative as being AudibleReady. Creative advertises the Zen Nano as being supported under Windows 98SE. Audible advertises AudibleManager as being compatible with Windows9 8SE. Thus, it stands to reason that the Zen Nano should work with AudibleManager under Windows 98SE.
    Has anyone else had success with AudibleManager connecting to a Zen Nano on a Windows 98SE system? If the answer is yes, then I'll keep trying to figure out why it's not working on my system. If the answer is no, then I'll expect Creative and Audible to work together to determine if the problem is with the Creative Nano USB driver, Nano firmware and/or Audible plug-in and then provide a fix for the problem. Since the Nano is recognized by Windows as an external dri've, I'm inclined to think it's a localized problem.

    Thats the smae thing thats wrong with mine, except I have Windows XP
