Nomad Jukebox DAP-6G01 With Windows

I have a Nomad Jukebox DAP-6G0 and i want to know if i can use Windows XP with it because i heard that you can't and just want to make sure that it will work so if anyone knows please help me THANKS.

"J" ... I'm able to download the st item: Creative NOMAD Jukebox driver (844.50KB) ... when it finishes installing, I get a window stating "Please reconnect your device for the driver to take effect". I already had the Jukebox connected. I downloaded with in connected/disconnected ... both times the message showed up. I believe the driver successfully downloaded so I moved on to the 2nd item you stated to download.
2nd Item: I started the download of Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB) ... it self-extracted then the install wizard began ... it appeared to be working however, I window popped up with the title "CMS Web Installer - Installshield Wizard" ... the message in the window stated "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Click the retry button to re-detect your device and continue the installation. Click the cancel button to quit the installation and go back to your windows desktop" ...
I got frustrated at the point and didn't move on to the 3rd item you mentioned to download "Creative Mediasource - Nomad Pack for Creative Nomad Jukebox/Jukebox C (version .0.04) (3.2 MB)

Nomad jukebox zen xtra and windows vi

Help. I just bought a new computer, old one died. The new computer has windows vista and windows media player installed. i cannot get my player to work, it is not recognized, and the original software keeps getting shut down by windows. Can anyone tell me if there are updates and in what order I need to due them in. I have looked all over the creative web site and can't seem to find the correct solution. I also tried contacting tech support via email and they don't want to help since the player is out of warranty and just said to go to the web site, which of course I already tried, with no luck.

I am going to call a friend tomorrow who may still have xp. i'd like to know if i should and can it be done and if so how. To back up the original fimware that is on the player. and how would I reinstall it after if I needed too. i read through the link you provided a lot of good info but also seems a little like a could be in for a rough ride. Basically i should be able to upgrade the firmware and then the player will be recognized in vista. is that correct?as long as the computer I use has xp and windows media player 0.
?I like media source organizer but as long as I can transfer songs to the player I'll be happy. I can easily li've without media source organizer.

Nomad jukebox zen xtra firmware quest

Hello all,
happy to be on the boards. I have a few questions I would like to ask:
) what product do I have? on the front it says "nomad jukebox zen xtra" with 40gb on the side. is it a "zen xtra" or a "nomad jukebox"? I was trying to find updated firmware, but found both "zen xtra" and "nomad jukebox" on the creative site.
2) i've read horror stories of firmware 2..03. is there newer or firmware that works?
3) is there a way to treat this player as a regular hard dri've? as in when I plug it into Windows/Linux (Debian linux), it will be recognized as a regular hard dri've without much trouble?
Thanks all!

Oo
ps.
I didn't mean to take the hard dri've out and use it as a computer hard dri've. I meant: is there a way (maybe changing firmware?) to make the creative plug and play with windows without installing drivers?
An example: I want to go to a friend's house, plug my creative in, and copy a 5gb ISO off his computer. This is assuming he doesn't have the creative drivers.
I read that the 2..03 (or whatever the bad one is called) is supposed to allow this. Any solutions?

HOW to install Nomad Jukebox on XP

Searching for hours, all over the web, still lost.
PLEASE HELP!!!
*Nomad Jukebox original (serial# DAPKGO)
*Windows XP
Upgraded my computer to an XP machine and I simply want to install ANY software to be able to add songs to my Jukebox.
All I can find are firmware updates or files limited to Nomad 2, 3, Zen and higher. And the CD-ROM that came with this when purchased new a few years ago won't let me install b/c it's not XP-compatible.
Thank you if you can spare a moment to help!

puzzled and no_clue:
If you download the drivers for the JB (or JB2) then you can connect to the player using Windows Media Player and transfer the songs onto your PC.
JB drivers are here:
http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&details=
and JB2 drivers are here:
http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&details=
On the JB2 page is a new MediaSource download and the plugin required for the JB2. The JB plugin is on the JB page.
When I installed the MediaSource upgrade tonight I was prompted to have my player connected as it was searching for a qualifying product (Creative don't want everyone use MS so they detect whether you are a customer in this way). So install the relevant driver file first. Then, when your PC is detecting the player, connect it up, switch it on and install MS v3.
Hope this helps you both.

Zen Nomad Jukebox: Won't charge after sitting

My daughters 30G Zen Nomad Jukebox Xtra sat, with the battery in, for about 3 months after she lost it due to low school grades.
After she got her grades back up, I gave it back to her, and it won't charge at all now.
?The charger itself is fine (I checked the 5V with a multimeter), and the unit was charged and working when I took it from her 3 months ago, which is why I don't understand it. I did try the reset button with a paperclip. but it didn't help.
When it's plugged into the charger, there's absolutly nothing on the screen indicating that its charging at all, when there should be an indicator light on it. HELP!!!!!!Shawn

Well, tech support got back to me with the following instructions, that didn't help me at all, but I'm hoping it will help someone else, so I'm pasting it here.
For my problem though, I still don't understand how a working player gets put into a desk drawer, and 3 months later, it comes out and won't turn on, even with the power adapter in and the battery out.
Maybe its a magic desk.
Any ideas.......anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Shawn
:::::::::::The following is pasted from tech supports email to me:::::::::::
With regards to your enquiries, I understand that you are having issues
charging the Zen Xtra battery.
May I know if you feel any warmth on the power adaptor while charging
the battery for 5-30 mins?
Please try the following:
- Remove the battery from the player.
- Power on the DC input connecting to the player. Power on the player
without the battery in the player for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, place battery into the player (Check if it is charging)
- If it is still unable to charge, remove the battery and place battery
into the player again.
- Repeat the following steps for at least 2 times.
- If the charging indicator appears, charge the battery for 4 hours.
Shall the issue persists, please test the player unit with another
battery. Perharps your friends have a player of the same model? This is
to determine if the issue is with the player or the battery.

Nomad Jukebox Zen ... PlaysforSu

Is the Nomad Jukebox Zen compatible with music subscription services (such as Yahoo, etc.)? Is it a PlaysforSure device?
Please forgive me for asking such an obvious question ... I have searched everywhere and can't find an answer ... which probably means the answer is no.

The earlier Zens, no.
Currently only the Zen Micro is compatible. The Zen Xtra and Touch should be with a future firmware update. Creative haven't announced this for any other players.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra stops working with XP following Windows Media Player 11 Beta Installat

Yesterday I was very pleased to find that my Creative Zen Xtra (model DAP-HD00) portable media player is a PlaysForSure capable device. Creative Labs, on November 9, 2005, released the Creative Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware v2.0.03. I installed this firmware (I had to install the Creative ZenJukebox Driver v.30.03 first to get Windows to recognize the device). Once the firmware was upgraded, Windows began recognizing the Zen Xtra as a MTP device and life was good. I was able to synchronize it with both Napster To Go and Windows Media Player 0.
After this, I went ahead and installed Windows Media Player Beta, which I just downloaded yesterday as well.
From a functional standpoint, WMP seems to run just fine. However, when I connected the Creative Zen Xtra (with its PlaysForSure firmware), Windows redetected the hardware. It first showed "Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra" in the tooltip, followed by "MTP Device" in the new hardware tooltip. Finally, Windows announced that there was a problem installing my new hardware and that it may not work properly.
Sure enough, when I went into Device Manager, my Zen Xtra was showing as an MTP Device with an exclamation point on it. More specifically, it specified the status of, "This device cannot start (Code 0)."
Prior to the installation of Windows Media Player, the Creative Zen Xtra showed in device manager with the following characteristics under the heading "Windows Portable Devices":
Name: NOMAD Jukebox Zen XtraDriver Version: 5.2.0.0 dated 8/30/2004Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.3802.3802 built by dnsrv(bld4act)
Windows Media Player changed this to the following (the device now shows up under "Portable Devices"):
Name: MTP DeviceDriver Version: 5.2.5326.4762 dated 2/22/2006Digitally Signed by Microsoft Windows Component Publisher
Driver File Details:C:\Windows\system32\wpdusb.sys - v5.2.5358.4827 (WMP_.060509-2009)C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\wudfrd.sys - v6.0.5348.0(winmain(wmbla).0604-339)
The file wudfrd.sys is NOT digitally signed in this case.
As of now, my Zen Xtra is completely unusable on this system, and I need to sync it with my laptop for the time being, which still has WMP 0 installed on it.
Is this a bug with WMP beta? Is it a problem with my firmware? Since this is PlaysForSure compliant firmware, and it worked flawlessly with Napster and WMP 0 (before the MTP driver was updated), it would seem to be a WMP beta issue. I'd like to hear more official confirmation on the subject, however.
Some general details about my system are:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2Verified GENUINE Microsoft operating system using Genuine Advantage ValidationIntel Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 GHz, Hyper-Threaded processor2.00 GB RAM
Windows Media Player Version: .0.5358.4827Napster Version: 3.6.0.7 (US)
Any recommendations? Fixes? Some have suggested rolling back the WMP installation, but I would like to consider this option only as an absolute last resort.
Best regards,Matt

Ok, this worked out accidentally - but happily
I first installed the driver - not the media source - but the driver for the device.
After that the windows device manager yellow sign disappeared - apparently the device driver was registered by windows.
Then I Installed Mediasource 5 - the installation went thru fine.
Does anyone have any recommended updates to install, please also advise what benefits.
Thanks.

Transferring tracks from Nomad Jukebox 2 to MUVO with Creative MediaSource Player/Organi

I recently installed Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer . When I transfer tracks from Nomad Jukebox 2 to my MUVO the tracks are transferrred as folders, not tracks (which the MUVO cannot play). How do I get the Nomad Explorer to transfer the MP3s as tracks and not folders? I'd appreciate your help.
P.S. I do not have this problem when I use Creative Playcenter to do a similar tranfer.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Perhaps there's some confusion with the MuVo Explorer, or plain Windows Explorer.

Zen Xtra Nomad Jukebox suddenly not recognized by Windows XP Netbook

I'm desperately struggling to get my Creative Zen Xtra Nomad Jukebox MP3 player (version .03.02) to be recognized by my computer. (My background is I'm about 4 hours south of my home, temporarily helping my exwife who is slowly dyiing of cancer... [URL"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA67hNO3H4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA67hNO3H4[/url] I have two laptops with me, one with XP (and the other rarely used here with Vista.) My main computer, a Dell Desktop running XP, is back at home with most everything else as I live out of a suitcase and do the best I can.... 'nuf said for my situation)
About 3 weeks ago, I hooked my Creative mp3 player up to my MSI netbook, (windows xp and recently updated with all microsoft updates) and noted that the MP3 player was not being recognized by the computer. When plugged into the USB, my computer gave a 'chirp' and would look for hardware for the player, but ultimately it couldn't find it. The DEVICE page of the SYSTEM menu had the Jukebox listed with the nefarious yellow question mark. Though I don't have a CD drive on this computer, I had a portable drive with most of my software with previousl loaded software archived there, including the installation disc for my MP3 player; but none of the drivers or software that I loaded would make a difference. I download all sorts of drivers & firmware updates from the CREATIVE web site, nothing changed. I would remove all the creative software, reload, reload software, hook up the MP3 player, and.... it would recognize the Nomad player but have no way to incorporate drivers for it's use. Even as I directed it to the original 'CD' copied onto my netbook's desktop, my Windows XP with service pack 3 just couldn't do more than let me know that it couldn't quite recognize the player other than identifying what it was.. I could uninstall the device, the drivers; all to no avail.
My incorrect guess at the time was that something internal to the mp3 player was broken and though I was lucky that it still worked as a player without any issues, I just had no way to access the 30Gb of books & lectures. Nor would the Creative Media Source work with it, as it felt that the player was not even hooked up to the computer. So,I bought a new 'used' identical model on ebay, except that the seller had upgraded the firmware and the harddrive. Once I got the new player, it's too, would not be recognized by my MSI netbook. (though it works on the laptop I have running vista).
Last week I gratefully went home for one day to check my mail and attend to a few matters, and upon hooking my original MP3 player to my main desktop, my original MP3 player immedately docked to my computer and was working as it always had?
Now, atleast, I knew the MP3. player was working and functionally intact, and the challenge was completely computer software issues on my netbook, possibly due to some service pack upgrade or the sort.
I've spent several hours, reviewing all sorts of fixes and maneuvers; from blogs and tech support pages, though none made any difference as I changed various settings or softwares on my netbook. I saw lots about Vista not supporting my old firmware (which isn't an issue as my Netbook is XP.. I also saw that Windows Media player might have been the problem, and reverted to WMP 9, then to 0, though stlll no change.
I have never turned to a tech support board before, but I'm very much in need of assistance right now. Please, if you think you can guide me, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply. I sure wish I had a better understanding of this. I will request one more piece of invaluable knowledge from you! My old zen & windows xp computer hum in awesome performance again. Unfortunately, since I thought my old zen was broken, I'm now with this new beast, with the updated firmware 2.0.03. From what I previously read on Boards and Forum pages, this device shouldn't be connected to my XP computer while I'm still using my OLD zen with old firmware. As you mention in the above note, I connect this 'new' Zen to my Vista computer, & it immedately goes into docking mode. I tried loading the newest firmware available for my device (though it doesn't list vista as compatable), and of course, when the mediasource version 3.30.2 loads, it doesn't have a clue that my zen is connected. Only WMP version seems to pay attention, which may not be that bad. But once I was up & running in WMP, I couldn''t seem to create playlists and or even clearly get it to load the Audio Lectures that I have onto it. So, Wise, All Knowing CREATIVE Wizard, any suggestions what I do? Delete WMP? I will hope never to bother you again, once this is solved!!!
But I am tremendously grateful for the assistance. I only spent about an hour in WMP accomplishing nothing, before I realized I should just turn to you, admit my defeat, and hope for insight and practical advice!!!!!
Thanks!!!

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - Windows sees it - Mediasource installation does not

HI, I have tried to recover from a failed HD and on the new installation - the jukebox is detected by windows. This I know in the "Device Manager" where I can see the "nomad juke box" with a yellow sign on it. But when I go to install the Mediasource application - it says "failed to detect a device" retry/abort (ouch). I have tried the following options
Moved the cable to a different USB port (not connected via hub anymore)(but windows was seeing the device).
Then I thought maybe an older model of the mediasource will work - nope.
Then I tried installing? NomadSync (source forge) installs fine - but I do not know how to work it
Then I tried installing Nomad Explorer - no go without media source.
Ok this player is fine - works fine - the version of firmware is .20.08 (I think). It was in the car for about one year
Other Ideas : use Red Chair software - then install Mediasource on top of that
Any ideas welcome.

Ok, this worked out accidentally - but happily
I first installed the driver - not the media source - but the driver for the device.
After that the windows device manager yellow sign disappeared - apparently the device driver was registered by windows.
Then I Installed Mediasource 5 - the installation went thru fine.

Nomad jukebox zen xtra driver for use with Vista 32 b

Hi,
I just registered in an attempt to find a solution to using my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra player with Windows Vista 32 bit operating system. Unfortunately, my old computer died and all was lost so when I purchased a new computer I naturally went with the most recent operating system, it never occured to me that my wonderful MP3 player would be considered obsolete (my various printers are all much older than my mp3 player and they all work just fine, my multiple?digital cameras too) anyway, I am running around in circles and I would not consider myself highly technical. I cannot download the latest creative firmware because without a driver my device is not recognized, and thus, creative will not complete the download since my device is not recognized...... when I go to microsoft to look for "nati've drivers" as suggested by Creative somewhere in the maze I have been stumbling through, the link I found in a search on Microsoft's website sends me to a creative labs link that...interestingly....no longer exists.... I sent an email to customer support, but they happily sent me a form letter stating that my warranty is out of date so they have no assistance to offer unless I pay for a half hour of their time in advance, and I find it odd that I should pay money to risk being told that they have chosen not to support this device, because if I pay money to hear that I will immediately hate this company, and I don't want to throw in the towel just yet, anyway, another option stated in the form letter was to use this forum, so I am trying really hard to state the circumstances of my dilemma in a fair and open way. It seems to me that with all the energy that was put into that form letter, they could have written a letter that would address this issue directly as I cannot fathome that I am the only one with this problem. So, per the suggestion of the form letter, I am here to ask if anyone knows of a solution to making a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra work with Windows Vista 32 bit operating system.....if there is none, then at least I will hear about it without paying Creative money to tell me so. If I should post my request to a different thread/topic area?on the forum, that information would be greatly appreciated too as I have never used a forum before and alot of the information on this site is more technical than I am used to. Thank you to anyone that can offer some guidance or a clear solution. Signed by a baffled Creative customer....Dani

Try reading this thread. I had the same problem and the solution worked for me. http://forums.creative.com/creativel...a&message.id=7?

Re: Help with Nomad Jukebox 3 and Creative Softw

Okay I need help with the following...(bare with me!)
First, I have a Nomad Jukebox 3. I record shows with it at concerts that allow me to record via the optical input. I currently use Creative Media Source but I don't have the pluggins to "Burn CD". I am wondering how I can go about getting these?
Currently I can not burn these "line recordings" onto CD, and when I right click on the line recording in the Creative Media Source to find the file name there is no Properties icon that I can go to, to see the file name so I can just do a search in my computer to pull these up in my current CD burning software.
Also, "the line recording" is one big file. What program/software do I use to splice up the individual tracks so that it won't be one long "line recording"?
Now when I bring my music from CD or my computer to my Nomad, I've been using Creative Play Center. Do I have to use this all the time or can I use Creative Media Source? I'd rather use one or the other and not have both to deal with... I don't see any icon of my Nomad Jukebox 3 on the Media Source but there is one on the Creative Play Center.
Okay now one more thing just to inform you that from my Creative Play Center I am converting a concert that I downloaded and it's currently in wav format. I am converting it to MP3. Now when I do that in the Play Center window it now shows me the wav and MP3 format for each individual song. That's cool that it doesn't completely erase the wav format, however when I want to download each song in MP3 format I have to go to each individual MP3 which is fine but everytime the Transfer Options Box opens which asks me the Title, Artist and Genre each time.
Is there a way that I can just fill out the information once, so I don't have to do that for each MP3?
Thank you for helping me understand the Creative software and helping me know what I can and can't do!

I found the CD burning module for MediaSource hidden in the download for the Audigy soundcards, at least in the European downloads area. Take a look and if you can't find I'll have another look for it.
To edit the file you need a WAV editor. I'm guessing Creative might bundle something with their soundcards, or you can look on the Internet and take your pick from the cheap to the mega expensi've. Audacity might do it, and it's free http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ so worth checking.
MediaSource is the replacement for PlayCentre, but I think it just comes down to which you prefer (but they are very very similar). Note that you have to download the Nomad pack for MediaSource to get it to work with MediaSource.
When you transfer your converted MP3 to the player it's asking you for tag data, which is vital for the Music Library on the player. You can of course edit this tag information either in MediaSource direct, or probably more optimally in a dedicated tagging program.

Nomad jukebox Windows 8

Does anyone know if i can use my nomad jukebox 3 with windows 8?

Hi strandman,
The NOMAD Jukebox 3 does not have drivers that support Windows 8. The last driver release was dated Aug 30, 2006 and it supports Windows XP and Windows 2000.
I found this site that claims driver support for Windows 8. However, I am skeptical of this claim as it is not an official release from Creative. If you decide to install it, please note this will be at your own risk. This product has reached its end of service life and there are currently no further support other than what is already available on Creative's Support website.
Thank you for your continued interest in Creative.
Regards,
Colin-CL

WINDOW VISTA AND NOMAD JUKEBOX

Hello !
I want to know if anybody out there can help me. A friend just gave me a nomad jukebox and from what i researched it is not compatible with windows vista. So my question is, what do i do with it? Or what can i buy to make it useful? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a great day.

Have you tried installing the newest version of Creative Centrale? That is the program that comes with the Creative MP3 players, and I used the application already in Vista and Windows 7 with no problems. Your mp3 player will be recognized by both Vista and Windows 7, but you will have to choose what software to use, and Centrale works pretty well once you get the hang of it.
http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0790
That software is for the Zen Mozaic MP3 player but it worked great with both of our mp3 players. I do NOT want to violate Creative's license agreement though, if KOK-CHOY or somebody else wishes to correct me.

Windows 7 Support Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra

I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra MP3 player. The hard dri've crashed on my old computer ( which used the wiindows XP operating system). I bought a laptop which uses Windows 7. I don't seem to be able to find a way to access the MP3 player with the windows 7 computer. I don't need?a lot of functionality. I would be happy to put tags on MP3 files with some other software, if only there was a way to get this laptop to talk to the MP3 player. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed

If you can find a PC running Windows XP with Windows Media Player 0 installed you can install the?Creative Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 - this will turn the player into an MTP device so you will not need to install any special drivers/software to copy music or other files to it (as long as the computer has Windows Media Player 0 or later installed - so Vista or 7 will be fine, as will up-to-date versions of XP).
I could not get the firmware installer to work with Windows Media Player installed on XP (it claims the player is not plugged in) but Windows Media Player 0 works reliably. As Windows Vista comes with WMP and Windows 7 with WMP 2 you'll need to find an XP machine to install the firmware, though once installed you can use the player with any modern OS.
As I run Vista on my PC I had to resort to installing XP in VirtualBox to run the firmware installer but I would strongly recommend trying to find a real PC before resorting to emulators!
Edit: If possible, back up your files before updating the firmware - if I remember correctly updating to the PlaysForSure firmware does delete all of your existing files, but even if I haven't remembered correctly it's worth doing just in case..!
