Nomad II (c) and New MediaSource Organizer

Hi all,
after I installed the new CMS 5 when I go my ZEN, I tried to use this?with my old Nomad IIc too, but the Player does not appear in the software. Does anyone have an idea if this is working or is the latest CMS release working with the Nomad IIc the CMS 2?
Thanks and regards
Raigam

Yes, I've installed the drivers and the installation routine of CMS 5 detects a player (otherwise it won't install). That's what confusing me: CMS 5 asks for a player during installation, I connect the Nomad IIc, it recognizes?a player and contiues to install, but after finishing and rebooting the player is not?detected in CMS 5.

Mediasource Organizer has stopped working

Hi
I am having a problem with Mediasource Organizer version 2.0 with a Windows7 system. The organizer worked fine until about a month ago and I have been trying to troubleshoot it ever since. When I open the organizer the library is missing in the window and if I click on any part of the window an alert opens and says "Mediasource Organizer has stopped working" and the organizer window closes.
I have searched and searched trying to find out what has changed to no avail. I have tried uninstalling the program and Windows or something won't let me. I have tried downloading Organizer 5, but is fails to install. Would 5 not install because the earlier version is still there?
I am completely perplexed and have little idea what to do next. Does anyone havea possible solution? Thank you in advance....... Glenn

I'm wondering why my computer thinks I have a "Creative Gameport" device, when there is not actually a physical gameport connector on the card (Audigy 2 ZS).

Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra Wont appear in the creative mediasource organiz

I plug it into the usb dri've, and it doesnt show up. I look on My Computer, and it shows up as an audio device, and other. I go to my mediasource organizer, and it doesnt show up. I can access it on my computer, but it takes longer and I have no way of organizing my songs. I tried to re-install it, but it still doesnt work. It also doesn't work on my brothers 60gb one. Any help?

hol3_c4t,
Did you install the Nomad Jukebox Type 2 plugin also? If not, go to the download page and install those in order for the MediaSource application to identify the player.

How do I get the Nomad Jukebox 3 to work with MediaSource Organiz

I tried to transfer songs, but MediaSource Organizer (Version 2.02.06)does not show the Jukebox 3 file library. I downloaded the latest version (CMS_PCAPP_LB_2_03_29.exe) of the application and when I tried to install it, I got the following message:
"An error occurred while launching the setup (0X80040707)."
The creative download site said that I would also have to download the specific Nomad Pack for my player, but they provided no specifics.
Please tell me which applications/drivers/firmware I need to download/install and in what order. Please be very specific. I purchased the Nomad Zen for my daughter, which is why we are using MediaSource Organizer. The software for my son's Jukebox 3 has been misplaced. I assumed that all Jukeboxes would be supported with the MediaSource Organizer.
Thanks in advance.

snd: To add to Jason's advice, also make sure to read the FAQ post, specifically search on "lost your CD". Even though this is for the Zen it's still applicable, and it details the software you need to install.

'Creative Mediasource Organizer' Folders and the ZEN V pla

Using the Creative Mediasource Organizer, I've set up a few Folders on the 'Creative Zen V' player but when I undock the player and use it to find and play the songs, they're not organized by the Folders. In fact, I don't the folder 'structure' at all. Is there a way I can see and use my folder structure I've set up for the player? and, if not, then why does the Organizer enable me to set up folders?Thanks.

Folders on the device are merely for your own convenience and organization. The device relies solely on ID TAGS on how it plays and displays the various tracks. You will need to get your tracks in order and edit the tags.

NOMAD Explorer and Creative MediaSource cr

Is anybody experiencing this frustrating problem?
I recently purchased a Creative Nomad Zen Xtra and installed the included software (drivers, Creative MediaSource and Nomad Explorer) on a Toshiba M200 notebook. My Creative MediaSource version is 2.02.06. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP.
When I plug in my Nomad, Windows detects the device just fine.
When I run MediaSource, everything looks good. I can see PC Music Library, My Computer and NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra in the left Sources pane. When I click on the NOMAD icon in sources, then on Music Library, all the music on my Nomad shows up in the right pane.
By the way, so far I've been using Windows Media Player to transfer my music files to the Nomad, no problem. The reason I started using MediaSource is that I want to create playlists for my Nomad, and I can't seem to find a way to create or transfer playlists themselves using Windows MP.
Here's the problem. Whenever I click (left or right mouse button--it doesn't matter) on one of the music files shown on my Nomad, MediaSource crashes. If I run Nomad Explorer, the same thing happens when I click on a music file located in the right pane (file is located on the Nomad), except here Windows Explorer crashes, of course.
I tried upgrading my Creative software to get the latest version of everything, but the same crash keeps occuring. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, etc, but nothing seems to work. In total frustration, I installed the Creative Software on a different Toshiba notebook (also running Windows XP Pro SP). On that machine, the old version of the software (from my CD) works just fine! However, I really can't use that system for my music.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this crash? This consistent bug is preventing me from doing anything useful with music files on my Nomad using the Creative Software.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for the information.
Yes, I did try upgrading ALL of the Creative software on my notebook, including the driver. That did not solve the crash problem. At that point, I tried uninstalling all Creative Software, rolled back my system to the state before I installed any Creative software (using WinXP System Restore), and reinstalled the original Creative software. The problem remains. I guess I could try rolling the system state back again, but then install only the latest version of the software. I don't know. At this point I am flailing and I am thinking there is no way to make this stuff work on my computer.
An alternati've route is this: Is there any other software I can use to create/manage playlists on my Nomad? If Windows Media Player 0 can do it, I would be thrilled. It seems pretty solid, as far as I can tell.
Joe

Conflict between MediaSource Organizer and ZM Media Explorer when ripping tra

I don't know if this is a known problem or not but I am hoping someone can explain what I am seeing here.
I have both MediaSource Organizer and ZM Media Explorer set to rip CD tracks at 60% quality with a Variable Bit Rate. If I rip tracks using MediaSource Organizer, it shows the tracks have a Bitrate that is indeed variable. However, if I rip the same tracks using ZM Media Explorer, the Bitrate displayed by MediaSource Organizer is always 60000. When I view the mp3 files using Windows Explorer, both files are exactly the same size which would imply that they are both being encoded as requested.
Could it simply be a problem of displaying the correct bitrate when tracks are recorded with ZM Media Explorer?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
John

micromouse, You are correct that MediaSource does not actually display anything indicating the file is recorded with VBR. I made that determination by examining multiple tracks where I then saw different bit rates as expected. Obviously, if I were recording with CBR, the bit rates of all files would be the same.
Let me try to explain the problem a little differently.
If I set MediaSource to rip tracks from a CD with "VBR, 60%" quality and then use MediaSource to rip 0 tracks from a CD, the bit rate displayed when I view the PC Library in MediaSource shows that each track has a different bit rate as expected. There is no problem here.
However, if I set Media Explorer to rip tracks from a CD with "VBR, 60%" quality and then rip the same 0 tracks from the CD, the bit rate displayed when I view the PC Library in MediaSource shows that every track has the same bit rate of 60000. I believe this represents a problem.
Now after using EncSpot to view the details of the mp3 files as previously suggested by another board member, I verified that the same track ripped by each program (MediaSource and Media Explorer) has the same characteristics although there is a slight difference in file size by a few bytes.
I hope this helps to better explain what I am seeing.
Thanks, John

MediaSource Organizer not seeing Zen To

Seems there are quite a few questions like this without any good answers (that i can find, i apologize in advance if this has been in fact answered before), so i am going to try and spell everything out as detailed as possible in hopes of help.
I have a 20GB Zen Touch and I realized there was a firmware upgrade for it about a week ago. Feeling that fresh starts are always best, I moved all my mp3's from the Zen Touch over to my computer, and formatted the device and uninstalled all creatives (old) software.
Next, I upgraded my player to the new firmware PlaysForSure v2..0.
Then I downloaded the "Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players" so my computer-side was also up-to-date.
The new Creative Explorer was a bit weird to me, but I synced my music from my computer back over to the player and then ran the cleanup and scandisk and stuff on it to get it all in top condition. My biggest rant about the new explorer type thing for the playsforsure firmware is it's lack of ability to really organize your music in an orderly and quick fasion.
This is where my problem comes in. I want to use the Creative MediaSource Organizer to organize my music on the player just like I use to on the old firmware. So I saw on the software suite download that it included a plugin for mediasource, so I figured it must still be compatible.
So I downloaded Creative MediaSource v3.30.2 and installed it, restarted and all that. So then I plug my Zen Touch into my computer and the usual window asking me what to do pops up. I close it and open MediaSource instead, but it does not even see my Zen Touch.
I have also tried installing the "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource" in hopes of that working, but it still does not.
So my question is basically, why won't MediaSource see my Zen Touch despite the firmware and updates saying it should?
Thanks for any and all help!

Install in the following order:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site. Make sure that you install this first before installing the rest of the MediaSource plugins listed below.
- (Depending on your product and firmware) For non-PlaysForSure Zen series: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.or:For PlaysForSure Zen Touch: Download and install the Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players.
- If it is listed for your product: Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.

Mediasource Organizer - How can I reorganize my mu

Hi
I have had a a Zen Xtra for just over a month and immediately transferred most of my albums onto it using Mediasource organiser. All my music is stored in D:\Music and there are no sub folders as I did not change the media folder settings for my PC music library (the defaults were set to None). As my library builds up I am encountering problems such as duplicate file names (even though the songs are by different artists). I currently get round this by renaming tracks e.g Sing (Travis) and Sing (Carpenters).
I have just looked at the help topic Advanced Use Of Creative Mediasource (better late than never!), see link
http://dmzweb3.europe.creative.com/S.../,Case=obj(623)
This suggests changing the settings so that each album is stored in it's own folder. My questions are as follows :
. Will I have to completely delete my PC music library and start from scratch in order to organise my music in such away or is there some other clever way of doing this.
2. If there is no easy way of doing this then it would probably take me a couple of days to do manually. Is it worth it or should I just persevere with what I've got.
3. If there is no easy way of doing this is it worth changing the settings so that all future music transfers are organised in sub folders.
4. If the answer to 3. is yes and I keep all my existing music in the same format, then when I add new albums I will have a mixture of music which is in sub folders and which is not in sub folders. Is this a bad idea.
I very new to mp3 playes so any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the both for the help/suggestions. I get my music in to d:\mymusic by either ripping in Mediasource or coping mp3's using Nomad Explorer (when I use Nomad explorer I copy the mp3's onto my Jukebox Zen Xrtra first and then do a sync using Mediasource Organizer).
I'm not aware that I changed Mediasource settings to None but I suppose it's possible.
I have now changed my settings to create Artist/Album folders within my d:\mymusic folder so going forward everything should be more organised. I have ripped a couple of cd's since changing the settings and these new albumns are indeed in artist album sub folders.
With regrads to reorganising my existing music, I would like to try micromouses suggestion but I don't see how this will work, as the tracks in d:\mymusic prior to me changing my settings are not in artist/albumn subfolders, so how will doing this actually put the tracks into sub folders in d:mymusic. Am I not fully understanding your instructions? From what you said I think that what I need to do is use Mediasource to delete everything from my PC Music Library and then copy everything from d:\mymusic back into my PC Music Library. Can you confirm that this is correct.
I'll also look at the tagging programs and see if one of these can help me.
Thanks again

MediaSource Organizer closes after it opens upon detection of the Zen Sle

Basically, i plug in the USB for my Zen Sleek, and then Creative MediaSource Organizer opens for a second then closes instantaneously. I don't know why this is happening. I look under processes in my task manager and i find CTCMS.exe running and so i try to end task it, but it will not let me. The only reason i find this would be happening is because i recently (just today) installed a new Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card. Is there any way of fixing this problem? And by the way, if i do need to uninstall/install the MediaSource Organizer again, will all of my playlists be deleted? (took me a looong time to get those playlists organized)Message Edited by mdjstudios on 2-3-2005 03:52 AM

I am pretty sure that it is caused by the Audigy 2 drivers. I have seen other users having the same problem, and have fixed the problem by updating their Audigy 2 drivers. You should update your Audigy 2 drivers. Let us know if it works for you.
And don't worry. The playlist will not be deleted when you unintsall MediaSource. The entire PC Music Library, including playlists are kept intact.

MediaSource Organizer Never Delet

Let's say I have 0 albums on my computer's playlist. And let's say I have a brand-new MuVo2 FM unit. I connect it via USB, I run a sync, and voila, I have the exact same ten albums on my player.
But then let's say I get tired of one of the albums. So I delete it from my computer playlist, meaning I have 9 albums now on my playlist. On my next sync, I expect my MuVo to also have 9 albums. I expect it to get rid of the one that's not on my playlist.
But no -- after doing some searching on the board, I've come to the conclusion that Creative MediaSource Organizer never deletes anything from my MuVo2 FM unit. Is this true? I can't believe Creative expects to compete with Apple if they don't allow a sync to be a true sync.
If they're afraid of newbies losing their music somehow, then should't they at least have the option to allow the Organizer to delete files from the MuVo?
I've tried the Realplayer since one of the messages says it does sync, but Real makes a total mess (no directory structure, and it doesn't even write the playlists).

That's how it works when you have the PFS firmware (2.0.03) loaded.

Mediasource organizer doesn't allow to play a player tr

Hi all
I don't know if is it a bug or a feature. Nomad Jukebox 3 plenty of music. _I've installed Creative MediaSource Organizer & Player and the Nomad/Zen plugin for the Mediasource.
However, when I choose a track to be played on my pc the only thing that happens is the track added to the lower left corner pane ("now playing"). The song is stopped and no sound.
I use other software and o problem with this.
any suggestion?
thanks in advance

Did you try getting the latest version from Nomadworld.com downloads?
If you are getting problems installing I would suspect more that there is a problem with the Windows install.

Creative MediaSource Organizer Alternati

Ok, so I have a Zen Vision M, and I can't figure out a way to listen to the songs that are on my mp3 player through my computer. The only way I've seen that even offers me the ability to do this is through MediaSource Organizer, and that quite frankly is terrible. Everytime I want to find a song I have to find the artist folder, then find the album folder, then find the song. I can't stand it. I'm the type of guy that is looking for a song, not an artist. I can't figure out a way for it to have all the songs on my mp3 player to come up in like an "All Tracks" list or anything - I'm stuck having to go through 3 different folders everytime I want to hear a single song. Now, is there any way that I can listen to my songs on my computer without using this player? I'd prefer to use Windows Media Player since I'm most familiar with that, but so far I haven't been able to figure out how the hell to play the songs, only sync them. I definitely don't want to have to upload everything from my player back onto my computer in order to listen to it. If by some chance the ONLY thing that allows me to play the songs on my mp3 player through my computer is Creative MediaSource...then can someone please tell me how I can set it so that it just pops up with "All Tracks" in alphabetical order or something? This is killing me. Thanks guys.

I've also been looking for an alternati've to MediaSource. It used to be a good program, but the whole MTP Playforsure crap ruined everything.. I really wish I had not upgraded my Zen Xtra.
Its makes the performance really slow and brings in way too many limitations.
I mean it takes nearly 4 mins to get MediaSource to display all the files on my Zen Xtra, and Vision M, that's just unacceptable. Before I upgraded the firmware it only took a couple seconds. And I was able to sort the music by artist, Genre, album, and the using the search feature brought back results instantly.
I know that Playforsure support was a major request for some users, but I wonder if they knew that things would wind up like this! Becuase this decrease of performance and loss of functionlity, was not advertised in there description of the new firmware!
And its not fair that I wasn't even given a choice with the Zen Vision M!
I used to have an MPIO HD300 and a iAudio X5. Both of the players were both MTP I think, but they showed up as a dri've letter in Windows and any music program could access the files. I wish Creative would take a hint from that.
