NEED CREATIVE TO GIVE DRIVERLESS SUPPORT TO CREATIVE ZEN TOUCH IN THE NEXT FIRMW

I had bought Zen Touch 20 Gb and found that the driver is not recognized by PC. Whenever i want to transfer the data, I need to install driver and software in the PC to do so. That's really make me sick!
Here i would like Creative to update their next firmware for Zen Touch so that it can support driverless. Just like a normal external hard disk function.

Check the boards, there is a petition for this already. Add your voice and cross your fingers.

  • Max Number of files supported by new Zen Touch Firmwar

    Hello
    I used to have about 34gigs of music on my zen touch with the old firmware. But now it will only accept about 20 gigs. Does anyone know what is the max number of files that zen touch supports with new firmware ?
    Thank You

    Has anyone verified that this is true of MTP players as well? I doubt it'll be different (the tag-data library system is common to all Nomad-type Creative players, whether PDE or MTP), but with all the changes needed for MTP, it would be helpful.
    I don't have a 40Gb Touch, which is really the kind of player you'd need to test this.
    BTW, I was referring to the overall capacity limit, which is tied more to space than to number of songs; that was what Creative was talking about when they said MTP reduces the Touch's song capacity. Having a Micro myself, I've never had enough capacity to test the internal song limits.
    Free space is pretty obvious, and the initial question was relating to number of files and any potential limit. I'm not sure what it is about MTP that reduces the space, whether it's the firmware, file system, or some addition to the files.

    If you deleted the folder specified above, and you still get the message, then it's the wrong folder. Use your operating system's search function and find ALL folders on ALL disks whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA, delete each one found, and then try opening Lightroom.

    It isn't a file, it's a folder. It will have the same name as your catalog, but will have the extension data. It will be in the same folder along with your catalog. If you need to use the search feature to search for *.lrdata.

    I am very happy to own an mp3 player which is 20gb but i have a problem. ? bought two new earphones and the one that comes with the player but they got damaged after use with the mp3 player. ?t makes this weird sound while playing music and this gets me pretty annoyed. ? would be very happy if someone would give me a reply.
    THANK YOU

    If both pairs of earphones were damaged you need to speak to Creative Support.

    You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions

    Hbo and max go need to have hdmi support. Maybe they can make this happen through their next app update?

    No.
    Apple has no control over HBO or over what HBO enables in all.
    Due to what a mess licensing media is, HBO might not have the right to do hdmi out either.

    I had the same problem after my computer crashed (maybe due to lightroom, but I'm not sure). The only solution I found was to delete previews.db and root-pixels files.

It's not very damageable, since you keep all the previews previously generated (located in every subfolders).

  • Creative Labs Firmware Update: Zen Touch Overv

    This message is to give Creative Labs a clear overview of what is missing/needs updating in the next firmware download.
    ) Touch Pad Sensitivity- The Touch Pad sensitivity settings need to be changed to provide a slower scrolling speed.
    2) EAX Sound Features- Including EAX support just like in Xtra models.
    3) Volume Synchronization- The ability to apply the same volume to all music.
    I think all Creative Zen Touch users would have to agree that these are most important things to be updated.
    Yes, it is possible to adjust to the sensitivity of the scroll pad, however for new users is somewhat a disappointment. Most Zen Touch users would agree that the Touch Pad is over sensiti've and that such a problem is one of the reasons users buy the iPod. Based on the reviews which potential consumers use to decide on a purchase the Zen Touch loses points to the iPod for having the over sensiti've Touch Pad. The comparison was very close and the Zen Touch lost by fraction of points which can easily be solved with an update.
    The comparison result can be found here: http://www.mp3.com/iPod+vs.+Zen+Touch/stories/090.html
    The Zen Touch lost by only 3 points, however the Zen Touch as everything over the iPod besides the little things such as the style, and clearly the Touch Pad.
    The EAX feature is highly supported by Zen Touch users and more information an be found here:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativel...&message.id=88
    Lastly, another key features that was included on the Xtra models, but not included in the Touch was the Volume Synchronization. This is key for Ripped and Download music. The Ripping volume is often times different from volume that is provided by the MP3 download sites. This is another feature that is worthy of upgrade.
    Creative has a lot of potential right now, mainly because the features on the Zen Touch outperform the iPod yet Apple still has the market on MP3 Players. It would not hurt at all to update these features mainly because the iPod has been around longer so they obviously had more time to perfect the MP3 Player.
    Thus, I encourage Creative Labs to take a lead on the MP3 market by releasing the next firmware with these updated features.
    No matter how you look at it the Zen Touch should be leading the MP3 market.
    With these small updates I think more consumers will purchase these players, thus increasing Creative revenue.
    Please Creative you have heard loyal customers speak out, now it would be a great time to show loyalty and boost your customer service reputation from great to the best support.
    If anyone agrees or support these firmware updates please post here.
    Sincerely,
    -Coolrulez
    <EM>Thank you for listening and please update me on any confirmated releases of a firmware update.</EM>

    well, I have to disagree with #3. You should actually be able to set the Sync Properties on the Program you use to put music onto the Touch anyhow. the Easiest way to do this without this, is putting all music in the same format, and in the same size. Unless the recording/file is already bad, that should do you well. I use WMP0 and all my files were ripped in the same Quality, and if not, they were automatically converted to fit the specifications I chose, which was WMA-28KBPS. And mostly it all sounds the same. Of course, the classical music I listen to quieter than the Rock I listen to, but thats normal.

  • A post, Zen Touch Owners might consider and an Open Letter to Creative. L

    Creative needs to take some COORPERATE PRIDE as regards one of their products, that until recently was the FLAG SHIP<SPAN> of their hard-dri've based line of D.A.P. s,
    By using the Napster-To-Go Subscription Service, I spent the better part of last weekend loading up my Touch 40 GB player with reams of music.<SPAN> At about the 9 GB point on the hard dri've, the seek head would no longer write to the platters and after a time out, stopped with a subsequent TRANSFER ERROR coming up.
    Bummer.
    OK.
    I phoned Creative, got an RMA number and shipped it off for a hard-dri've replacement at the least, a totally new unit sent promptly back at the best.
    Being bummed out that I probably wouldn?t see a new TOUCH 40 GB returned to me for the most part of two weeks to a month (by some of the reports via this thread), and being that I wanted a FLASH DRIVE so I could use a D.A.P. in places where intelligence dictated that a hard-dri've based player is going to experience hard-dri've shock/abuse (like being on your bicycle, jogging, cross-country skiing, etc?.all forms of outdoor activity) so?being that I did not now have my TOUCH to listen to (I am a music-aholic) I went out on Saturday and purchased an IRIVER T0 GB flash player.
    Being this is a Creative board, I won?t go into a RAVE on how good and feature packed this D.A.P. is.<SPAN> Just suffice to say that if you would like a D.A.P. for when being acti've, or as a back-up to the TOUCH 40/20, THIS IS THE PLAYER TO CONSIDER.
    Now, amongst features heaped upon features this player has, never mind the FANTASTIC sonic output it puts out in sound fidelity and reams of non-distorted volume (I use a set of BOSE TRI-PORTS that need a setting of 8 on the Zen Touch, but with the Iri'ver T0, I am right now (as I type) listening to Gloria Estefan?s CONGA at a volume setting of 2 out of a possible 30!!!!<SPAN> It is just that good!
    Now, what is this post doing on a Creative Forum board?<SPAN>
    The answer lays in the next few sentences/thoughts?.
    Amongst 2 EQUALIZATION presets, that ALL so differently shape the sound wave (they again, are THAT good, including SRS (WOW) is a CUSTOM EQUALIZATION pad that covers the following frequency ranges:
    50K /200K/ K/ 3K/ 4K/ (adjustable from ?0/+0
    It was in using this EQUALIZATION PAD, that is was so totally demonstrated to myself how truly abused we are as Creative Ltd.<SPAN> Customers having all of us, purchased a Zen Touch D.A.P. from this company.<SPAN> I paid $300.00 dollars for my Zen Touch 40 GB and it was deli'vered to me straight out of the package with a DEFECTIVE<SPAN> Custom Equalization feature, that is made defecti've by inferiorly produced Creative code in their Zen Touch Firmware, the very ?heart? of the product, driving and deli'vering all the features(?) on the Zen TOUCH 20/40 GB.
    It is one thing to release defecti've code, if the defect was not caught by (hopefully) Creative upon the launch of the product, but with ENOUGH paying customers having made this defect well known and so WELL DOCUMENTED back to Creative Ltd. and in the many MONTHS since the defect was found in the FIRMWARE that dri'ves the TOUCH, and yet, and UNBELIEVABLY so, the defect yet remains (if in fact now even more profound!) in their latest version of the Zen TOUCH firmware!!!
    Ladies and Gentlemen, who are now reading this post, ------by having had the extreme PLEASURE in owning a D.A.P. (newly acquired Iri'ver T0) with all features advertised upon the package ***WORKING***, right out of that package, let alone with such amazing performance deli'very, I now declare that I will wait a reasonable (not months any more, BUT ONLY A FEW WEEKS FROM THIS POST DATE) <SPAN> period of time to elapse before I see a FIRMWARE release and/or patch from this company, Creative Ltd., to ***FINALLY*** address this broken Custom Equalization feature ?offered? within the Zen Touch firmware.
    Now in having custom set the ranges of frequencies in the Iri'ver T0 to JUST how I like my music----I have to tell you Folks----IT DOES make a TREMENDOUS difference to the sound and your PERSONAL expectations of it!
    A Custom Equalization feature is THAT important to have on a sonic device, let alone a fully WORKING ONE, bug free!
    To Creative:----a personal comment:
    <SPAN> I have been a loyal customer of yours from the mid 90?s by having purchased EXCLUSIVELY from you, my sound cards, as well as your line of VIDEO CARDS.<SPAN> I have been a most faithful repeat customer having never seen to date your company so delaying/ignoring the defecti've broken issues from one of your FLAG SHIP sonic products.
    I spent<SPAN> $79.00<SPAN> (far below the asking price of your Zen Touch product line)<SPAN> last Saturday on an Iri'ver T0 GB flash player that (with obvious pride of manufacture from Iri'ver Ltd.) works as advertised, works with the present FIRMWARE installed in the device at the TIME OF PURCHASE and PRODUCT RELEASE, and has earned my respect in putting out such a feature-rich product and with obviously, such Cooperate Pride.
    Creative Ltd, if you do not put human resources immediately on releasing a patch that brings the Zen Touch FIRMWARE to a bug-free condition that it should have been when having been released with the product launch, I will consider no longer you as the stalwart CREATIVE company of old, that once DID HAVE SUCH COOPERATE PRIDE in any and all models of hardware they produced or sent out with their name upon it.
    I will no longer purchase from your company, fearing that as I hold the product in my hands at the store, the features that I am there to purchase will NOT be deli'vered ?out of the box? due to inferior workmanship in materials, in SOFTWARE CODING, and a lack of Quality Control that dictates nothing leaves the plant until the Chief Technology Officer and his staff can sign off on that product?s quality and being fit for release to the Consumer and potential Customer.
    I hope that the Moderator of this forum sends this post to whomever it will have cause to see the crippled firmware inside the Touch finally be brought up to quality standards that was the mandate of the Creative Ltd. of past years.
    If this post has to reach the desk of the C.E.O of CREATIVE Ltd., then let it be sent there!
    Creative Ltd, you are losing Customers hand-over-fist that won?t bother to sit down and type out/compose this letter/post, but will merely resolve to NEVER AGAIN look at, let alone buy one of your present, or future products.<SPAN> Nobody likes to have a ?broken and crippled? product---RIGHT OUT OF THE PACKAGE!<SPAN> Nobody should have to experience that when hard-earned money is being exchanged for it!

    I wrote the following e-mail to Creative Support today. If they can't respond to a polite, reasoned e-mail like this then I will never buy another Creative product again!
    I will post again when Creative respond to me, with a bit (well, more than a bit, more like a billion tonnes) of luck they will be able to say whether they even PLAN to fix the Custom EQ problem.
    All the best, everyone.
    <E-mail>
    Dear Support,
    I recently (0-Nov-05) purchased a Creative Zen Touch 40GB mp3 player, and I am generally very happy with it. The battery life is great, and I was happy with the quality of design and build compared to the (relati'vely) affordable purchase price.
    However, my query/complaint concerns the new firmware release for the Zen Touch, version 2.0.05 (MTP support for Zen Touch). I have uploaded the new firmware to my Zen Touch (and also the relevant updates for the Creative software: Media Organiser, Zen Touch Explorer etc), and have experienced no problems in loading this new firmware to my player or my computer.
    Generally, I have no problems with the performance of the new firmware: my files transfer easily and quickly between my mp3 player and my computer, and (using Windows XP SP2, and WMPv0) I have experience no compatibility issues, as one would hope.
    However, I do take issue with the Custom EQ bug that the new firmware accentuates on the Zen Touch. I am sure that Support has doubtless been contacted by other people regarding this problem, but to summarise, with version 2.0.05 of the firmware installed, usage of the Custom EQ function on the Zen Touch severely impaires the volume of the player, and consequently the enjoyment of myself, the customer.
    I would like to ask Support whether Creative plans a 'fix' firmware update to eliminate this bug in the firmware in the near future? I am not concerned with any new features to the player with a future firware 'fix' release (although they would not be unwelcome!), since Creative did not promise any such features in the first place. However, I feel that since Creative advertised the Zen Touch as having a customisable graphic equaliser - from Creative's own press release: "Supporting both WMA and MP3 formats, the Zen Touch deli'vers crystal-clear audio, thanks to a signal to noise ratio of 98dB, which can be customised using the built-in, four-band graphic equalizer with eight equalization presets." - a firmware update should not render an advertised feature of the product effecti'vely useless.
    Please could Support acknowledge the disappointment I feel with this fairly fundamental flaw to an official product upgrade, and provide assurances (or take measures to seek assurances from whoever makes decisions upon such issues) that a firmware 'fix' update will be released in the near future?
    I end by saying that I have only ever bought Creative mp3 players, and to date I have been happy with the products I have purchased, but if basic product flaws such as the Custom EQ being 'broken' by official firmware updates are allowed to go unaddressed (especially with the fact that this has doubtless come to Creative's attention through Support/the official discussion forums etc) then Creative may lose customers like myself in the future to rival companies.
    Thanks for your time, and I await your reply.
    Kind regards,
    Lawrie Ward

  • Zen touch connection issues with Creative softw

    I?ve updated my Zen touch to the play for sure drivers and since I?ve done this the creative software does not recognise when the ZT is connected (Nomad explorer). However windows media player and HMV digital do recognise the connection and allow me to sync songs to the payer. I?ve tried loading the ?Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players? update, but this doesn?t work as it won?t recognise my ZT as connected during the installation! I?m running WMP and IE7 on my computer and have already tried the registry change mentioned to solve connection issues but this doesn?t help either.
    Any suggestions or anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks

    Sounds like an incompatibility with the card, which is surprising as NEC cards are usually no problem. There are various things to try as mentioned in the FAQ post (search on "connection problems") but I think you need to focus on making sure you have the latest drivers for the card, as well as the player itself.

  • The Creative Zen Touch Movement: Active Creative Us

    Who out there wants a skin for their Creative Zen Touch? Who is tired of the monopoly that Vaja cases has and forces you to buy their horrific case for 70 Big Ones? Who is tired of the Creative Case that is included and is extremely bulky and doesnt even have a screen to see what you are doing? Are you not tired of having to take the Zen Touch of the cases everytime you want to do something? Are you tired of users that have Iri'ver and Apple's Ipod having infinite accessory choices while you are limited to 2 case choices? If your answers to these questions were yes, this is the new movement for you. This movement will bombard companies like Iskin and xSkin with emails asking them to provide a Creative Zen touch alternati've for cases that are protecti've, photogenic, and sleek. This method works because Iskin and xskin want to make $$$ and with more emails they know they will make more money. My Ipod counterparts show off their Ipods and protecti've them with the xskin exo3 which is only 0.7mm thick, and cannot defend my creative zen touch because I have a bulky case that makes it 3 times as big. With a skin, my creative will be protected from scratchs, perfect for style points, and i dont have to take it out of a case everytime I want to change anything. This movement worked on the Iri'ver site where they overloaded the system with emails for Iri'ver skin requests, and 3 months later, Iskin rolls out a skin for the Iri'ver. We can do the same. I encourage you to assist me in this movement so we can bring the Creative Zen Touch to the top of all mp3 players trampling the Ipod and Iri'ver alltogether. Now whos with me? Its time for action because we are the Acti've Creative Zen Touch Users

    This is the Creative Movement brought to you by Creative Zen Touch users. We have had enough with the horrible cases that are offered to us as choices. We are look to towards you for salvation. We kindly ask that you create a skin for the Creative Zen Touch, our forums are overloaded with request. The market for a skin for the Zen Touch has great potential to grow and we offer you as our first choice to do so. We are tired of the Ipod and Iri'ver users who can show off their sleek mp3 player complimented by a sleek skin and a screen protector. We wish we can do the same. We want to level the playing field for all mp3 players and we are asking you to do so. I have talked to over 80,000 creative zen touch users via the Creative Forum and they are all urging for a skin and are willing to buy it. That is a great potential market you have in front of you. Thank you for your deep consideration. This movement is lead by Creative user dmai7.

    actually about the skin thing
    if u wanna change the skin of your touch you ll have to brake the warranty patch that is over a screw and with it end your warranty time.
    for stuff that sticks over the case its alright
    and yes there should be more accessories to this thing
    have fun
