Name ur ideal creative player lin

Basically that's how Apple succeds where creative fails they have a few players that are simple and make them perfect. creative just has a hundred or so players that all have their own problems. If they don't do sumthing, they'll never catch up. I think they should have the v plus, microphoto, vision m, only the best player designed like the tx fm, and the sleek photo. They should also have just black and white screened player 4 ppl on a budget that want a good player. there's more of wut I think in the zen neeon 2 announced thread by trance. name ur ideal player lineup

Although I commend Creative for recognising that people have different tastes, all these new players are getting too confusing. I don't think they should stop supporting the older ones, but I think they should be discontinued. As soon as players with video become as cheap as monochrome players two years ago, we should be looking at a line-up like this:
two-hand hard dri've multimedia player = Zen Vision
large-capacity hard dri've MP3 player with video = Zen Vision M
medium-capacity flash dri've MP3 player with video = Zen V Plus
small-capacity flash dri've MP3 player = Zen Nano Plus
It is a shame as I personally find the look of the sleek/photo very appealing, but sacrifices have to be made. The muVo line should be discontinued: Creative players need to become synonymous with 'Zen'. Creative should focus on future generations of these players, whilst giving a few more firmware updates to their predecessors. We could see an 80GB Vision M, or a Nano Plus with a colour screen. I think this will help Creative win market share.

  • My Creative player won't work on my somewhat new Gateway

    I bought a brand new all in one gateway in Jan and my Creative player has never worked on it. It wasn't too big a deal because it worked great with my laptop but now my laptop is dying. The gateway won't recognize it. Both the gateway and laptop are running Windows 7. is anyone else having this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Freedom1,
    It would be helpful for others to reply to your post if you include what model do you have.

  • Creative Player Connection problems? Get rid of windows Media Player

    I noticed that a lot of people here are having difficulty gettings their computers to recognize the player.
    A lot of people describe that when they plug in their players the player will show up as properly installed in the device manager and windows will recognize it, but it won't show up in Creative media source or any other mp3 player management software.
    Also the install programs for firmware won't detect your creative player as well.
    The trick is to get rid of any and all traces of windows media player .
    Delete the windows media player. Delete the windows media player format in Add/Remove programs in your control panel. Make sure the checkbox the says "show updates" is checked as well in your Add/remove programs window, otherwise windows media player might not show up in your list of programs to remove.
    Then once you have windows media player totally removed, reinstall windows media player 0.
    Then reinstall the latest versions of your Creative software, drivers, firmware, and plug-ins.
    It worked for me and it worked for a lot of other of people.
    I had a Zen Xtra that I could not add music to, or remove music from, for a couple weeks until I figured it out. I couldn't even install the firmware either until I got rid of Windows Media Player .
    Windows Media Player = Useless Creative Mp3 player.

    I do what I can....

  • A Creative ViZen line would sell like crazy

    Some constructi've critisism.
    Creative's archille's heel is that they always come up with crappy names for their mp3 products.
    Why does Creative always come up with names for their products that are hard to remember and easily confused with other products that they have?
    Why can't they just come up with a name that is short and sweet, distinct and easy to remember?The longer the name, the easier it is to forget.
    That's a big reason that the iPod is so huge. The name is so easy to remember and its catchy. There is a certain flow to the term "apple ipod" and it sticks in people's heads. It makes marketing very easy.
    Zen Vision:M ? come on... that's so easily confused with their Zen Vision.. uh is there a Zen Vision Sleek too? I forget... it's hard to keep track.
    ANYWAY its so obvious...
    "Zen" *is* a great base for a name. "Vision" makes sense too because of what the product does.
    But Creative Zen Vision? Yeah its a logical name but it has absolutely *no* ring to it. No flow. It's hard to remember. it makes marketing pretty difficult if people can't remember what the product is called.
    Creative Zen Vision:M is even worse. That's an even bigger mouthful. And what does the M stand for anyway? It's not memorable.
    What's easier to say? What's easier to remember? "Apple iPod" or "Creative Zen Vision:M"?
    So... instead of Creative Zen Vision:M..
    Why not call it simply.. Creative ViZen?
    Sounds like... Creative Vision.. that would be pretty catchy I think... Creative ViZen.
    Something easy for ppl to remember. After all, "creative vision" is a common phrase that everybody has heard hundreds of times. By putting the "Zen" name in it.. i think that would sell alot better than a mouthful / hard to remember name. Why didn't anyone at Creative think of it's It's so obvious :P
    And models can be differentiated with a number to signify gigabytes so this first one can be called the...Creative ViZen:30
    If the next one is 60 gigabytes then obviously it would be called the.. Creative ViZen:60
    People would know the capacity of the product without having to read the fine print! Now wouldn't that be amazing?
    Anyway, their naming strategy needs work.
    A possible conversation:
    "hey what do u have there?""a Creative Zen Vision:M""uh.. creative zen.. whats that?""its like an iPod but better""oh its a knock off"
    this would sound better:
    "hey what do u have there?""a Creative ViZen""oh i've heard of those.. can i see?"
    Just my 2 cents
    Creative ViZen vs. Apple iPod
    that sounds like a winnable marketing fight.and hey.. what the heck does "ipod" mean anyway?!?

    Creative ViZen is more descripti've, catchy and easily attached to the name Creative.
    If you're just some person in the street and hear the word "zen", you think of some buddist meditation thing.
    If you hear the word "vizen", you make a connection to the word "vision" and Creative has made a big step towards brand recognition because it plays on the phrase "creative vision" that *everybody* has heard hundreds and even thousands of times.
    ViZen would be "their own" word.
    iPod is Apple's word.
    Get it's
    Zen aint their word. It's been around for centuries and the word Vision has been around even longer.
    The number of words is less important than the number of syllables.
    apple ipod = 3
    creative vizen = 4
    Creative Zen Vision:M is 7 syllables for crying out loud and it doesn't even tell the casual person on the street what it is. It's clunky and cumbersome. No flow.
    Its also confusing giving 2 products the same name. There is the portable media player and this mp3 player. They just put a :M at the end which means nothing to Joe Blow. What the...
    I am actually more informed that the average person. Ever been to their store/buying page? zen touch zen sleek zen nano zen touch zen etc... and they all look the same. I was confused and I can imagine Joe Blow going to the online store and seeing all this zen stuff, getting all confused and saying "to heck with it, i'll just get an ipod, at least i'll know what i'm getting" Why confuse the customer? Not good.
    Even though Zen Micro is a good name, it doesn't say anything... apart from being a small "zen"
    Creative is seen as a follower but that shouldn't be the case.
    I remember when all they had were sound cards and the nomad, or nomad jukebox and that was years before the iPod. I was lookin for drivers for my sound card and i see a "nomad" thing mentioned. I didn't know what it was until i looked at the product page then forgot about it.
    Even then, they just called everything nomad, which is an odd word and it starts with the word "no"
    Not a good selling point either.
    Creative sure knows how to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to naming their mp3 products :P
    I heard something about marketing once and it was this. You can have the best product the world has ever seen but if you don't have a marketing strategy, you have nothing.
    Just look at AMD. They are where they are because they had a plan since 999 when they came out with the Athlon cpu. "Athlon" didn't mean anything but that was ok because it was short, sweet and it was *their* word. Now "Athlon" means something and when you hear that word, you think of AMD.
    The main thing is that they gave more bang for the buck vs Intel's cpus. But they also had a strategy when it came to mass appeal and came up with a good, short, distincti've name that is *theirs* I have always been a big AMD fan and was one of the first on their bandwagon. I had bought the brand new, top of the line cutting edge Athlon XP 800+... woohooo! (upgrading now to an Opteron 65 )
    See what AMD does? They *invent* nice words. Athlon, Opteron, Sempron.
    With the Zen Vision:M, Creative is giving more bang for the buck than Apple, but "Zen" and "Vision" are ordinary words that will never be glued to Creative the way that Athlon is glued to AMD or the way iPod is glued to Apple.
    I always root for the underdog that deli'vers more bang for the buck. Which is why I chose AMD over Intel and which is why I would like to see Creative not shoot themselves in the foot with these brutal names.
    I have never owned an mp3 player before but when I do, it will be a Creative mp3 player. *NO* way will I buy an iPod. I was actually considering the Zen Micro Photo but this product is very good too and eventually will probably end up getting a Creative Zen Vision:M... "whatever that is" LOL

  • Product Watch: Creative Realigning Line

    We've all been talking about the new offerings from the fruity side of the street and the impact on Creative's product lines. We may even have seen something of a response from Creative in the pricing of its products as offered by a large, well-known reseller of theirs (J&R Music). What's next?
    Well, I happened to click on the link for Nomad World by accident and saw the MuVo Slim now described as being offered in 28MB and 256MB models. Gi'ven that the MuVo Slim was offered in 256MB and 52MB models up until this announcement, could this be a sign of the impending release of the GB Zen Micro? Personally, I hope not.
    I see the MuVo Slim as one of the MP3 players that Creative needs to keep. Why? Because it is easily the most stylish and therefore potentially cool (to be hyped) players they've got. A replaceable battey shared with other models means that there's some economy of scale that can help keep prices down in some areas. Plus the Muvo Slim points the way to the form factor that is going to be greatly desired in another 5 years or so as flash memory density goes up while the cost of the parts go down. A 5GB flash-based player will be able to appeal to a wider audience, especially those interested in having a very acti've physical lifestyle (since hard-dri've based players don't have very long li'ves when subjected to repeated and harsh shocks).
    Creative, please rethink reducing the capacity of the MuVo Slim. The M-Slim should come in 256MB, 52MB, and GB capacities at least (although you could ditch the 256MB option and just have 52MB / GB). If you are ditching models, get rid of the gum-pack (TX/NX/N200) and square patty shaped MuVos (X-Trainer, and MuVo2 modets.

    The link for the Creative registration that's on your desktop doesn't tie into the soundcard drivers in any way. It sounds more like a coincidence, unless you deleted other files aswell.
    Deleting the shortcut doesn't delete the registration files, it'll only delete that shortcut, but it doesn't affect any other files.

  • Vendor Name Appearing Different for Different Line Items in FBL1N

    Hi,
    I am executing FBL1N and changing the layout to include the Vendor Name in the line items. But when the line items are appearing, the Vendor Name is appearing different for different documents. I wish to see from where the system is picking up the name, so that I can rectify this. But since the layout is being changed after the report is executed, the debug window is taking me in this. Can someone help me please how to debug so that I can see from where the name is coming?

  • Recording from minidisc to creative player with an x

    I tried recording from my?minidisc onto my computer with the x-fi card, through the line-in and mic jacks. When I stop recording and turn off the source, I still have the record volume showing some input even though nothing is on. I?even?tried disconnecting the minidisc from the input jack but the player is still showing some input. This is causing my recording to have a steady interrupting noise every quarter of a second or so. Any ideas where to search for this mysterious input or how to get around this problem.Louis?

    If you are using the Digital input (SPDIF) to record from MiniDisc then you are correct that it is 44.1Khz, but are you ensuring that the SPDIF input is set as the master clock? You will need to ensure that is so whilst you record digitally from it.
    I can't fanthom why you might be have a problem recording from the analogue outs though. The phasing sound you describe sounds like you are hearing the original sound plus the slightly delayed sound due to software monitoring perhaps?

  • Add cost centre name field or description in line item reports

    Dear all,
    How can the cost centre name or description be added in a report's lines (i.e. FBL1N). These fields (columns) are not included in the reports and need to add them. I have tried through special fields to include them but the table CSKSZ and fields KTEXT (Cost Centre name) and LTEXT (Cost centre description) are not included.
    Regards,
    George

    Hello,
    You must use business transaction event 1650 for adding special field to FBL*N reports.
    Please refer OSS note below.

    I hope it helps to you.

  • Getting the host name in the email subject line

    I am running SCOM 2012. Is there a way to have the host name of the server in the Subject line of an email?

    As alerts dont always have a servername included. ie Alerts usually have the name of the server or source included in Source or Path you might want to include both in the subject.
    Here is what we use but you can add the lines found in the body to the subject:
    Source: $Data[Default='Not Present']/Context/DataItem/ManagedEntityDisplayName$
    Path: $Data[Default='Not Present']/Context/DataItem/ManagedEntityPath$

  • Need help finding Ideal MP3 Player for my company to give as xmas gifts to our clients

    <SPAN class=postbody>The company I work for is planning on giving away 50 Mp3 players to large clients--primarily because we started our own podcast site with daily Metals Updates ( investment company). http://podcasts.gbtg.net/ I picked up 2 Creative Labs Nano players, and found the setup was lengthy, and far from foolproof--if you are not very careful, the Nano would fail to be able to play the wma podcasts you push in from your PC. Worse still, I can not find a way to easily show cleints how to do an auto synch type of function, so the they can just plug the Nano into their PC at night, and yank it out the next day with the newly updated podcast in it...it would also be nice to delete podcasts older than 3 days or so.... Tech support suggested I try the sniffer function, which of course I had already activated---there was no discussion of how to use this functionally for podcasts. Does anyone have suggestions in Mp3 players better suited for this purpose, or for better software than the Windows Media Player or the Creative Media software they provide? Thanks, Dan

    Thanks for the reply. The 2 units I picked up are Zen Nano's. While I understand they are supposed to function much like external hard dri'ves, and that is a simple matter to just drag files from the PC to the Nano "dri've", when I did that, the wma files ( the podcasts) would show in the Nano lcd, but they would not play. However, after installing all of the software ( both Creative with sniffer, and the Nano Explorer) the Nano player began magically playing the podcasts.... I had the same experience of two separate PC's, with 2 separate Nano's. I don't really know what specifically made the Nano's play the wma files--if it was the Nano Explorer , if there was some driver that loads when you get the Nano Explorer.... I don't think it was the larger Creative MediaSource software with sniffer---on one of the Nano's I purposely did not load the Nano Explorer initially, and when using the Creative Media source to push the files over, it still failed to play within the Nano. You could easily play the files from the nano, on the PC through windows media player--as if they were on a firewire or USB dri've. But the Nano needs to be able to play the files itself away from the computer. Maybe the nano explorer helped--maybe their was some auto loaded codec that finally arri'ved with the time online... I have no idea.
    That's strange. Are the WMA files licensed? If they are you have to copy them with MediaSource or Windows Media Player.
    Back to the media sniffer....What I need is relati'vely simple instructions I can send to my clients ( a largely novice computer user base, with essentially zero exposure to MP3 players...they are investors, not generation X'ers :-) The podcasting concept appeals to all of them, but I need to make it very simple to pull the MP3 player out of its Xmas box, plug it into the PC, and have it auto update. We can pre-configure each MP3 Player we send out--if there is a brand where this would help. With the Nano the hardware does not have any pre-config settings that will help. So I'm back to looking for a software ona CD that will install simply and make this auto podcast download a reasonable function for these clients to be able to handle. Making them choose folders, set the folders as a library, then set the deletion dates for old files, and the synchronization behavior in general is too much work for people who have never done any of this. Once they experience the podcasts for a few days or weeks, they will be incentivised to learn "advanced" configuration proceedures---but I don't want this to begin this way.
    Really all you have to do is enable the Media Sniffer, and if the files already go into the default directory then nothing else.
    Then you would also need to sync the player with the PC, which is essentially just following the syncing process.
