New Zen V Plus and album a

Does anyone know, whether or not Creatve's new Zen V Plus player displays the album art while playing a song? If not then Creative can keep it as far as I'm concerned.

I don't quite understand Creative's strategy in releasing a gig Zen V, and especially a gig Zen V plus. If it was up to me I would have the Zen V and V plus available in 2, 4, or 6 gigs. The one gig capacity is covered by Nano Plus. Perhaps a more interesting idea would have been to release a 2 gig Nano Plus, and release the V and V Plus in 4 gigs, 6 gigs and 8 gigs capacities. Will Creative soon release a flash memory based mp3 player with at least 2 gigs of storage that uses a AAA battery?
They're supposed to be slimming down their MP3 player product line I think, so I wouldn't expect them to release yet another player. I definitely don't like your idea, some people want a V or V Plus in a lower capacity than 4 GB, if they didn't have lower capacities people might turn to other companies with a similar player in lower capacity (and thus, a lower price).Message Edited by HHS on 06-25-2006 :0 AM

  • Creative chargers- ZVM, SLEEK AND NEW ZEN V PLUS

    Hi,
    I've just bought a <zen v plus and was disappointed to find it only had a usb charger like the ipod nano.
    We have a zvm and a zen sleek but the ends of the chargers are both different
    <FONT color=#ff3300>any way of adapting either of these without buying yet another adapter?

  • Computer doesn't not find my new Zen V Plus

    Well, I got my new Zen V Plus 8gb yesterday, installed ZEN V Series Media Explorer and Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer (aswell as the drivers for the Zen etc.)
    I've charged the player for more than 6 hours, but my computer can't find it, it just doesn't show up, it says "please connect your creative zen to your computer" or somethign similar when I try to use Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer, and ZEN V Series Media Explorer just don't locate it.
    I can start the player and browse around in it etc. so it works, my computer just can't locate it, it can recharge it though.
    (I'm not having any of these problems with an iPod I have, aswell as a camera etc. so it's not the USB-dri've)
    Anyone know what the problem might be?
    My specs:
    Windows XP SP2
    Intel Dualcore 2.4ghz
    3gb RAM
    Edit: I've found it in the device manager, but it seems that it thinks it hasn't got any drivers, even though I installed them :S
    I've also gone through this: http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRV...e.com,case=9287 but to no avail.

  • Problems running creative zen nano plus and nomad muvo on same compu

    We have 2 nomad muvo mp3 players and now a zen nano plus .Have had constant problems with the media organiser .
    Installed zen nano plus and selected enable smart fit to get maximum amount of songs and it worked fine but as soon as we tried to install software for the 2 nomad players it would not work smart fit for any of them.
    Uninstalled everything and got the zen software in and it was running ok but then seemed to have problems and although smart fit was enabled it just copied files as the original mp3.
    It then fatally crashed yesterday and I am awaiting a replacement as I had only had it for 2 days.
    Is it possible to run all 3 and to be able to use smart fit on all 3 players or am I better off having just one working and using the file converter for the other 2.

    <FONT face=Helv size=2>
    Make sure that you have installed the MediaSource plugin for MuVo in order to get SmartFit You have to access SmartFit via the MuVo node of the Sources window in MediaSource. You won't see SmartFit if you access your MuVo via the My Computer node of the Sources window in MediaSource..
    Here is what you should do to get the latest MediaSource software:
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
    - (Depending on your firmware)
    Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
    or:
    Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.

  • New zen v plus won't play!!! he

    HI, just spent the day downloading music from napster and my hard dri've to my new creative zen v plus mp3 player. (used to have the muvo and I loved it) and after 3 hours of hard work I unplugged the mp3 from my computer and the green down toggle doesn't seem to take me down on ANY of the menus. Not only that, but it says it is playing, but I can't hear anything and there is no evidence of any files on there. (not that I can check due to not being able to go down to select artists, albums, etc. (in music library menu)? When I look on the explorer on my computer when it (the zen) is plugged in via USB, it shows all my music on the player!!! what is going on? very frustrated as was a birthday present. (by the way, I followed all procedure including the full charge before doing anything with the mp3)

    I've been away from this thread for a while because my new 8GB Zen V Plus simply stopped working. Nothing brought it back to life including reset with a paper clip. One moment it was working...the next it was dead. Fortunately I was within the 30 days of Comp-U-Plus' return policy and they exchanged it. I received the replacement today and guess what.... It has the same problem: It won't update the firmware. It just says the player isn't plugged in even though the repair program finds it just fine. This happens on two different computers. I contacted Creative support as suggested above and they gave me the same links to the same KB articles this forum gives. At this point I'm sure it's not the player and it's the firmware update software. It's time for Creative's engineers to contact people in this forum and figure out what the problem is to correct it. This isn't an isolated problem. Dale

  • HELP! Brand New Zen Stone Plus WON'T TURN

    Just received the product today, downloaded and installed the latest software. Charged the unit for 3 hours and successfully loaded mp3 onto the player. Following every direction and clicked the "safely remove hardware" option. All ready to go... press the on/off button... NOTHING HAPPENED! No screen! LED light did not turn on! NOTHING!
    So went to Creative site and follow the "fix it myself" direction, reset the player did not work, formatting the player did not work. There is no firmware download available for Zen Stone Plus (only Zen Stone), so I could not try that option.
    I am starting to think there is a defect in my player. Do you guys have any suggestion on what I should do? Does any know how to contact Creative's US customer support (email address and/or phone numbers)? And please don't refer me to the 3 dollars to 30 mins support because I already spent money expecting to buy a non-defecti've product.
    I tried looking for the customer support number before posting this message. I did not know Creative have such a poor customer support system! I clicked the "email support" on its site and it directed me to some "fix the player yourself" page (I also tried those solution but did not help), and does not lead to any customer support number! HORRIBLE!Message Edited by misellu on 07-3-20070:6 PM
    ****** UPDATE*********
    Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
    Since I didn't want to spend more time to fuzz over a defecti've product, I returned my Zen Stone Plus to Amazon (I did this because I know sending it to Creative would take much longer time before I receive a replacement). Amazon sent me a new one in about 3 days at no charge (and free return shipping). The new one works fine now and does everything its suppose to do (so far...).
    Just like I wrote it when I posted the problem, I tried different time intervals and it still wouldn't turn on. I couldn't have lock the unit because it requires power on to turn on the lock (which I was unable to turn on the unit).
    The lesson I learn here is think about the product's customer support and where I am buying from before purchasing anything online. I would definitely think twice before buying Creative's products again.

    mine wont turn on after almost two weeks since i bought my player. i went to the store where i bought my player, asked them to replace my player right there and then (because i firmly believed that it was a factory defect) but to no avail. so i let the creative support checked my player and voila! my player was infected with WORM VIRUS!!! they fixed my player, deleted the virus and was all set after 2weeks. i scanned my computer, found A LOT OF WORM VIRUS, deleted them before connecting my player to this computer. after transferring files to my player & disconnecting it from this pc, it wont turn on again!! and i havent used it for at least 0mins since i got it back! darn!! i'm gonna return it again to the storea and ask for creative support's help again. does anybody know if there is an anti-virus available for zen products?

  • Creative Zen V Plus and libmtp

    First off, for some reason whenever I plug my creative zen in, my laptop assumes this is some sort of photo device.  In additino to that, Amarok won't recognize it.
    When I did mtp-detect:
    Listing raw device(s)
       Found 1 device(s):
       Creative: ZEN V Plus (041e:4152) @ bus 0, dev 15
    Attempting to connect device(s)
    usb_claim_interface(): Device or resource busy
    LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to initialize device
    Unable to open raw device 0
    OK.
    Should I be concerned about the LIBMTP PANICE?

    hokasch wrote:However, I have still not found a linux app that transfers album art. Does Banshee copy the album covers? Or does anyone know about another tool? I read amarok1 schould be capable of this, but I can not get it to recognize the zen.
    Amarok1 can definitely do this and I think it's probably got the best interface for copying tracks to the player - I only keep amarok1 installed purely for transferring tracks to my player!
    danielsoft wrote:wait, does that mean that this player cannot be connected as a generic USB storage device?
    My Vision:M can partition part of the harddrive that will mount as a storage device, but that's only for files. Audio and Video is transferred only through MTP which is a pain in the wotsits. I'm not sure about all creative players, but I think the majority are MTP.

  • Brand new Zen V plus headac

    on my replacement unit from the store, I now seem to have a dead Zen V Plus.
    I've tried resetting, a no-go.
    the pc is OK, it got my first unit working,of the 3 units I bought.
    I feel the Zen V plus is a product that has ruined my Christmas gift giving this season. I will have to dump the unopened unit to at least recoup a small portion of my investment, as the retail store is not going to help me any further, I was lucky to get them to replace my first defecti've unit after the 7 days expired...
    Is there any support for a group.complaint here ?

    I am assuming you are in the U.K. Retail law states that if a product is faulty you may return it to the retailer for repair, replacement, or?refund at the retailer's discretion. The law states that?the retailer is?allowed?a reasonable?chance to repair the unit and if the fault still exists you are entitled to a full refund (less postage if any). There is no time limit on this! Any time limit imposed by the retailer is ILLEGAL. They are required by law to sell you a product fit for the purpose for which it was sold - if this is not the case then they are in breach of this law. The warranty covers defects in manufacture for the period of the warranty. The retailer may legally require you to deal direct with Creative with regard to repairs under the warranty, but the retailer is the one you need to hassle for a refund for the defecti've product. The law also states that if the unit is faulty from new, you are entitled to have the unit replaced. This has to be done 'within a reasonable time-frame'; this usally means within a couple of weeks. If you have already had a replacement unit and that is faulty also, then you are perfectly entitled to demand a full refund from the retailer - WITHOUT QUESTION. They may decide to replace the unit again; this decision is not theirs, it's your's. You decide if you want to have the unit replaced at this stage or have your money back. If you have bought the item mail-order then you can return it for a full refund within 7 days even if you just don't like?the colour - faulty items are excluded from the time limit. Check out the full statement of law online for full details; it does take a bit of wading through though. Hope this hel

  • Zen V Plus and Rati

    OK - I've seen a lot of posts from years ago... But is there anything in any new type of firmware that would allow you to rate songs in a Zen V Plus, like every other mp3 player - or somehow note songs you like? Or would that be a possible future firmware that would introduce that? or no?

    sometimes i wonder if moderators actually read these threads because fansubs are technically illegal, and thus discussing them is illegal.
    anyway, yes, the text will be illegible, as most fansubs are encoded at around 640x480-024x768, and so are the subs. so if you shrink it down to the 60x20 resolution of the screen, they will be about pixel high, if that.

  • Zen Nano Plus and N200- the sa

    Yesterday I ordered a N200... or a Nano Plus, actually i don't know since the title said Zen Nano Plus, but the pictures and text said N200. Of course I asked support which I was going to get when I ordered and in their reply they said they are the same but with different name... so I don't really know what i'll get tomorrow, but then I guess it won't matter if they are the same with different name... But are they really the same?

    Hello,
    Just so you don't make a mistake, the 200 and the Zen Nano Plus were different for me. Both I bought were GB but the software was different on the N-200. I was told NOT to load the N-200 on the Zen Nano Plus. I also bought Notmad software and they said that the ZenNanoPlus would be supported soon.
    I mistakenly thought I had to upgrade the firmware to get Audible compatibility. I did not. It was Audible ready out of the box. It was .00.02 from the factory. I got 2 different Creative support people telling me 2 different things...including how to upgrade the firmware with N200. One support said DO NOT do it.
    Finally I got someone who said it was audible ready as it is. I tried it and it worked perfectly. So...just check. I am not sure who was right. All I know is I blew one up once trying to upgrade and I am real cautious now. At this time, I would not trade the Zen Nano Plus for anything......except perhaps for a copy of the new firmware for the Zen Touch ! Had to get that in.

  • Zen V Plus and USB Connect

    Hello everyone. First off... I love the look, feel, and design of the Zen V plus. I'm hoping to eventually get to compliment the actual functionality of it. It has been a long day of hurry up and wait since I sped off to Circuit City early this afternoon for the Zen V plus. I'm just DYING to test it out, but it seems there is a major stumbling block. Let me give you a step by step run down of what has gone on since I can't seem to find a solution in the other posts I've read:
    I put the installation disc and successfully installed the software on it.
    After installation, I connected the zen v plus to the USB port and it wasn't long before I saw the battery symbol, complete with lightning bolt to show that it was charging. I also noticed that it was "docked", and I saw the USB symbol on the screen of the mp3 player. The button lights were glowing on and off. No problems yet...
    I checked to see if you could sync songs while it charged - and it didn't recognize the player.
    Around the 4 hour later mark, it DID recognize the player, and allowed me to rip and sync my Maroon 5 CD. I decided to leave and let it charge fully before making any other attempts.
    I come home, and the mp3 player has been charging for approximately 6.5 hours. The lights are no longer flashing, and it has appeared to shut off, which I assumed meant it was done charging.
    I unplug - attempt to turn on - and nothing. It's dead. Now...it's not being recognized at all.
    I'm not good with electronics really, and never pretended to be, but something tells me the USB connection is weird. My brother owns a PSP - and sometimes it doesn't want to read *his* device either. I'm wondering if perhaps it did recognize the device long enough to give me confidence that it was charging, and then lost the usb connection at some point. (It's highly doubtful that my pc went into any sort of sleep/power save mode because there is almost always someone on the computer here.)
    For what it's worth, I am using WMP 0, Windows XP (service pack 2), and have tried ALL usb ports (front and back) to get some juice into this thing. The computer just won't recognize it now. I plug it in and hit the power button, and it won't show me so much as a sign of life.
    Any suggestions

    I had this exact same problem. you should see a little plug on the battery when its connected to the computer, you are seeing a lightning bolt because your V Plus has an old Firmware version on it. Head to the Support->Downloads section and download the latest (..03 I think). This fixed most of the problems I was having.

  • Zen Stone Plus and RhapsodyT

    Hi,I see that Rhapsody does not yet list the Zen Stone as a?compatible device with RhapsodyToGo. I have 2 questions. ) does anyone know for sure if it is or not 2) Does Rhapsody have plans to make work?This will detemine if I get one for my wife - since we have RhapsodyToGo?Thanks

    Direct copy/paste from the specs page for your player:
    Audio Playback Format:
    ]Audible Format 2 and 3
    MP3 (Up to 320 kbps)<
    WMA (Up to 320 kbps)<
    WMA with Windows Media Digital Rights Management (WMDRM) 9
    So that would be a "no."
    EDIT: [color="#008000">Or perhaps "maybe." Creative is being schizo again on their spec pages. I believe the "with built-in speaker" models are the newest. The specs for the "Zen Stone w/..." are as above. The specs for the "Zen Stone Plus w/..." say it supports Audible 4 (which may or may not be accurate). I assume the non-speaker Zen Stones are the oldest models. If the "Zen Stone w/..." model? doesn't do Audible 4 then I doubt the older models would. Regardless, the question is still open for debate. ?

  • Creative zen v plus and the belkin char

    We discovered something that maybe is so obvious to everyone else but maybe not... we bought the belkin charger that works with our zen v plus. HOWEVER please note the usb cables that come with it and then with the zen v plus are NOT interchangeable. We at first assumed the only difference was the belkin cord was longer but the shorter cable that came with our zen v plus does NOT work with the wall charger. It made our zen lights blink on and off and go wierd and not charge at all but thankfully did not damage our player WHEW!

    If the purchases you are talking about are DRM-protected files, which is mostly what the iTunes Store sells, they are not compatible with players other than iPod.
    All you can do with them is use iTunes to burn them to an *audio CD.* Think how handy it would be to have them on an *audio CD.*
    Going forward, do not spend your hard earned money on songs with proprietary DRM protection. There are other online stores, such as amazon.com, that sell the same songs in non-DRM format, which will be compatible with iPod, Zen, or virtually any other player.

Maybe you are looking for
