Nomad Zen USB 2.0, Napster to Go supp

I purchased a Nomad Zen USB 2.0 a few yrs back to download songs from Napster without having to burn to CD. I feel like that purchase/union of online service and player are inseparable however the new release of Napster to Go is not immediately supported by the Nomad Zen USB 2.0. I anyone else in my same state of mind?
Also, does anyone know if/when the Nomad Zen USB 2.0 firmware is going to be updated to support the Napster to Go service? Does anyone know what WMP functionality has to be implemented to support Napster to Go? What is the WMP functionality referred to by the technical developers?
Thanks in advance,
Jaye

your player wont support napster to go. there is a hardware component of the DRM that n2g uses that only exists on players manufactured from fall 2004 onward. we are led to believe that only current creative players (micro, touch, and xtra) will support this service.

  • Driver Jukebox Nomad Zen USB

    I have a big problem. Since I have updated Windows XP, I can't use my Jukebox Nomad anymore. In fact, Windows can't detect and install the correct driver so it don't recognize my mp3 player when I connect it... I have already tried the autmatic and manuel installation but it doesn't work. I have an error message everytime.
    What can I do ? Please help me because I can't use it anymore...

    I have the same problem. Tech support say my unit may be faulty but it was working until I made the mistake of trying to upgrade the software.
    I have tried this link (above) but this did not cure the problem. The player is recognised but no suitable driver is found. If I right click on the .inf file and install then the Zen Xtra appears in the Unknown Devices section with a question mark.
    If tech support fix my problem I shall publish here.

  • HELP! Can Creative build a Windows Vista driver for my Nomad Zen USB 2.0

    Hi there,?I just upgraded my operating system to the Windows Vista 34-bit thinking that I would actually be keeping up with the times but instead found myself leaving behind some old "toys" that no longer work with this computer...help!?Fingers crossed that Creative will come up with a solution to this problem. I love my NOMAD!?Thanks.
    ~Alex

    It's multi-voltage (00-240V), so the voltage is not an issue. All you need is the plug adapter, as you mention.

    You can try Googling for sources, although I noticed yesterday that all the Touch battery sources seem to have gone.
    In theory Creative have a battery replacement service, so check with support.

  • NOMAD ZEN JUKEBOX USB 2.0 REFUSES TO CONNECT..PLEASE HE

    hi i have a nomad zen jukebox usb 2.0 and everytime i connect it to any of my USB ports, i've tried connecting it to all 8 of em, it gives me a message on the taskbar that says "One of the USB devices attatched to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it"
    I've tried everything from installing the latest drivers, to uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the drivers, i've pretty much exhausted everything i can think of, i lost the original CD that came with it so i've been installing the drivers by first downloading them off the nomadworld website, i've even updated my motherboard drivers, but nothing has seemed to work! if anyone could please offer me some advice on what to do, i would really appreciate it.

    You can try editing the registry but be sure to do a backup of the registry first in case something went wrong.
    . Go to Start-Run and type in 'regedit' to start the registry editor application.
    2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB.
    3. Open up all those with Vid********. You should be able to see the device description name. Delete all those listings that are listed as unknown or contain Creative related device name.
    4. Exit registry editor and try using the installation CD again.

  • Windows XP driver problem - Nomad Zen Xtra and Zen To

    I have both a Nomad Zen Xtra 60GB and a Zen Touch 20GB, both of which were working fine with my Windows XP Pro SP2 computer until a couple of days ago. I had recently put firmware 2.0.03 onto the Zen Xtra, and was using the drag-and-drop method in Windows Explorer to copy loads of albums across to it from my music folder. It seems I might have tried to copy too much over at one go, because eventually the file copying just stopped, and I had to unplug the Zen Xtra from the PC to abandon the copy process. Since then, neither Zen device has been properly recognised by any of my PCs. When I plug the Zen Xtra into?a USB port, Windows brings up the messages: "Found new hardware: Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra" and "Found new hardware: MTP device", then brings up the Found New Hardware Wizard, even though firmware 2.0.03 is supposed to provide "seamless support with any computer running Microsoft? Windows Media? Player 0 and Windows? XP - no drivers or software needed" (I have WMP0.00.00.4036 installed). The Zen Xtra's display does not show the "docked" icon except when plugged into my laptop (running XP Home Edition)... but even on the laptop Windows still asks for a driver, which it then fails to install properly. When I plug my Zen Touch into my PC, it detects that an MTP device has been connected, but Windows Media Player doesn't list it under the Sync tab, and when I try to install the "Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players", the installer complains that "Setup could not detect any portable device on your system... please ensure that Zen Touch PlaysForSure Firmware is properly installed". The device's firmware version is 2..0, and as I have already said, both this and the Zen Xtra were working fine with my PC up until a couple of days ago. Additionally, the "docked" icon?no longer appears?on the Zen Touch's display when plugged into the PC. I have made the registry change suggested in Creative Knowledge Base Solution ID #9287, and my PC is up-to-date with Windows Hotfixes. I've also tried uninstalling all Creative programs and reinstalling them one at a time, but I can not get my PC to correctly work with the Zen devices anymore. Any suggestions? Also, is there some kind of Factory Reset that I can do to get my Zen Xtra back to an earlier firmware?

    I had the same issue. My battery ran down during a sync, then I was unable to sync again.
    The Zen is showing up fine in the device manager, but none of the software (Media Player, MediaSource) sees it.
    Finally, after a day of trying new drivers, running cleanup, etc. I decided to go into the Zen's recovery menu. To get there, press and hold the Play button and press and hold the reset (use a paperclip) button while powering up.
    Once there, select the first option in the menu to Clean up the system. I forgot what it's called and I'm in the middle of a sync now, so can't look.
    Worked fine after that. Phew!
    If your device is being detected fine, but cannot sync, try that and post here if it fixes it.

  • How about a status update on mtu for zen xtra--i want napster to

    hey creative,
    any word on the update for mtu support for the xtra? napster is announcing the official release of napster to go, but as it currently stands, you can only use it on the micro, not the touch or the xtra. for a number of months we have been hearing that the release was just around the corner....any update?

    To whom it may concern,
    I am replying to a post from 2004 about Napster to go compatibility with the Nomad Zen Xtra 40gb.
    I have to say I am very upset that on July 8th, 2005 I bought the Zen Xtra 40gb after seeing THAT day that the Napster to go Service will be available soon from Creative. <This is on the NTG web page>
    I went to Best Buy, and bought the Zen...and today am pissed off to find that the firmware upgrade that is "Coming soon" was announced as far back as 2004!!
    This is REALLY upsetting and I am considering returning the Zen for an I-Ri'ver.
    Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Zen xtra 40gb to death.. and don't want to give it up.. but the Napster to go Service is way too tempting and was a major decision when I bought the Zen Xtra.
    So, any news on the firmware? Is it ever coming? Or do I return my player?
    Thanks!

    Hi everbody
    320 gigabyte Harddisk is out in ide 2,5 can I use it on a Nomad zen xtra?
    Or is it limitated to the ID Tags?
    In my old player Zen usb 2.0 I work with a 60 Gig but it recognised only 3 Gig with this 3 it works fine. :womanvery-happy:
    I have the Firmware Version "ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe" on the unit Zen Xtra.
    Thanx

    Thank you so much for your answer.
    I like the old Nomad Zen especially? the sound is fantastic compared with the mass brand I pod.
    The cheap plasic haptik or marketing manipulation (WE apple user are a family) is a betray to us IMHO.

  • Problems downloading between Nomad Zen Xtra 40GB and PC (XP S

    Help please
    I've a new Zen Xtra and have installed all the software that came with it and then reinstalled as per the instructions given in another post.
    I can see no sign of the drivers under the device driver although, not always, the PC pops up a message saying 'do i want to organise'. I can see my Nomad files in Nomad Explorer and Windows Explorer. i can even, sometimes, after each software reinstallation, even transfer a few, about 0 to 20, files before i get an error message telling me thw player is busy or disconnected. I have left the connection in place overnight but still no celarance.
    Any ideas as I really feel like throwing the bloody thing out the window!
    Thanks
    Mark

    Guys
    Thanks for your responses. Sorry I haven't got back - been away a few days.
    Situation is this.
    new Nomad Zen Extra and Dell 3000 running XP SP2 52mb ram 40gb dri've.
    Loaded software with Nomad and unable to sync or transfer. PC could 'see' nomad and read preloaded files but when any form of transfer tried I either got 'device not connected' or, occasionally, a few files would transfer before 'hanging'. Erroe message stated'device busy or not connected'.
    Since then I have followed these instructions given in another reply on this forum to the letter.
    <SPAN>Here is a step by step of what I would do to try to get back to square one and get MediaSource and the Driver installed.
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>) Disable any antivirus and background programs on your system and disconnect the Jukebox from USB
    <SPAN>2) Go to control panel/add remove programs and remove both Mediasource and the Jukebox Driver
    <SPAN>3) Reboot
    <SPAN>4) Ensure AV and BG programs are still disabled
    <SPAN>5) Search for any updated Chipset drivers for your motherboard (if you need help with this tell me your computer Mft. or your motherboard mft. and I will find out what you will need) and install them.
    <SPAN>6) Reboot
    <SPAN>7) Repeat step 5
    <SPAN>8) Go to www.nomadworld.com and go to downloads/drivers and applications. Select the Jukebox Zen USB 2.0 and your version of Windows. Click get files. Download four files:
    <SPAN>Jukebox Driver version .26.02<SPAN></LI>
    <SPAN>Creative MediaSource Software Update version 2.03.29<SPAN></LI>
    <SPAN>NOMAD JukeBox Type 2 Version .0.03 (English) Web Release<SPAN></LI>
    <SPAN>Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0)<SPAN></LI>
    <SPAN>9) While these are downloading, go into rescue mode on the player and run a cleanup. A reload OS will hopefully not be needed.
    <SPAN>0) Install the files in the above order. You will plug the Jukebox Zen in at the end of the driver install to complete the install. Leave it connected all the way through the remaining ste
    ps.
    Disconnect after the last file is installed.
    <SPAN>0) Reboot, reconnect the player and test.
    <SPAN>Jeremy"
    <SPAN>So I think of all the up-to-date firmware etc...
    <SPAN>I've also loaded and installed WMP 0 - which can also see the Nomad and has transferred a few files before hanging as above...
    <SPAN>I can also see the driver in my device drivers under usb controllers. the driver listed is Creative Labs .26.2.0
    <SPAN>I have managed to transfer my tracks (3500+) to the Nomad by burning as MP3 cd's and loading through my works laptop (Win2000). I used the Creative Media Source on the original software which came with the Nomad to do this. This is not a great solution as my company aren't thrilled about such use of their lappies and it only has a 0gb hd and, therefore, doesn't / can't hold my music library.
    <SPAN>I really want to get it working properly on my main PC so I can get the max from the Nomad.
    <SPAN>Any ideas?
    <SPAN>Sorry this is a bit long...
    <SPAN>Mark

  • Cannot completely uninstall Nomad Zen Xtra softw

    I needed to uninstall the software that came with the nomad zen xtra 40GiG player. So i first uninstalled the software and then the drivers, however in my computer it still displayed the adapter to the player as a dri've. Now mind me I wouldnt care much but now whenever I plug in any usb device my computer cannot detect it because the current slot is taken.
    So I installed advance uninstalled pro 2004 and looked arround yet there was no trace of the driver, software or anything even related to creative. So I did the next step, I used Registery Mechanic and found some broken registrys which I promptley deleted, but now on loadup I still have that dri've, the only diffrence is the nomad icon does not appear there anymore, its replaced by the default icon that any file recieves when it cannot be linked to a software.
    How can I remove it's
    any Ideas?
    Using Windows XP SP2
    with USB 2.0
    Thank you for your time

    Use Driver Cleaner Pro http://www.drivercleaner.net/ free ware that cleans out drivers,.sys.ini,inf and registry settings.
    It cleans completely and does not dump to the recycle bin so use caution,I use JV6 which I find not only better at cleaning but much safer than System Mechanic(in fi've years of use It has never hosed my system) you can find the last free version(full function-no time limit) @ http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=jv6 or the new pay version @ http://www.jv6.org/
    Many functions to clean,including full scan and search by software(I would try this method)
    If you have a Creative Sound card SB Li've or Audigy they include a driver clean up utility CTZAPXX.exe look for it in the C:\Program Files|Creative\Program folder or on your Install disc,it may be available here on Creative Support site or a google search will return many hits.
    If you can't find it P.M. me and i will e-mail or post it up on a web site for you.
    <B><I>Just one more caution on working in your registry,always a good idea to back up the registry or set a "restore point" prior to altering the registry,if your not comfortable doing these things stop and ask some one for assistance</I></B>
    Good luck and report back any success

  • Nomad ZEN NX 3

    I want to know if this is a good deal: Nomad Zen NX 30gb comes with USB Cable only for $96.
    Is it possible to buy the installation CD or Down Load the driver from the website?
    Will any Uni'versal AC Adapter work or does it have to be a Creative Nomad Zen Adapter?

    It's not a bad deal, considering it's an older model and its equivalent 30GB Zen Xtra still goes for around $90 brand new.
    You can download all of the necessary files from http://nomadworld.com/downloads/drivers/
    It must be a 5V dc, .5A adapter; I'd just buy the one from Creative to be safe (check froogle for a better deal than the creative store)

  • Cannot copy to Zen USB

    I just recently gave my daughter my Nomad Jukebox Zen USB 2.0, 20GB.
    I installed the software on her computer and she was able to delete files from the player and copy to her computer.
    She is unable to copy any files to her player.
    Any ideas? It is almost like the player is write protected. I also cannot play any of the files on the player using the computer software.
    thanks,
    Dave

    Make sure to get the latest drivers, application software and firmware from Nomadworld.com downloads.

  • Nomad Zen Extra Just Won't W

    I'm now trying to install/load with tracks/use my second Nomad Zen Extra, after tech support told me to return the first one. Same problem. I cannot load tracks onto the device, Windows ME continues not to recognize/install the device, and I'm stumped. Device manager recognizes the unit, but then when I try to install a driver and goes through the lists on the provided CD, Windows response is that it cannot find the driver.
    I went to Creative's website and found, then downloaded, a "new" driver (2003), so I presume it is on the Creative CD which came with the unit.
    What am I doing wrong?
    For now, the unit is useless.
    Thanks for your help.
    Dave

    I tried another USB port, and now Device Manager says the Nomad is there. But, when I go to the Creative Source Manager program, "My Computer" in the right panel still does not show the Unit present. For whatever reason, Windows is not showing the unit in the list of dri'ves and folders.
    Now, all of a sudden, when I'm in Device Manager, the Nomad has disappeared and is no longer there. Now it's back again. I presume this is caused by the auto-off battery save feature of the unit.
    Is the unit installed to "My Computer" or to the Desktop? How can I tell? Why can't the right panel show "Desktop" but only "my computer?"
    Thanks for your help.

  • Zen Sleek Photo and Nomad Zen X

    I posted earlier about problems with Vista and the Zen Sleek Photo mp3 player. The Zen software is not compatible and won?t install.
    After receiving some information from Creative, and after some further experimenting on my own, I have put together a procedure that will, in fact, do a full install of the Zen Sleek Photo on a machine running Vista.
    I have also discovered that this installation procedure also works for my Nomad Zen Xtra ? a nice bonus!
    I will send this info, in Word document form, to anyone who requests it. Just email me at:
    [email protected]
    It worked for me, and I have received feedback from several people already who have used this procedure with 00% success, so I know that it works!
    Dave McClay

    Hey Chickybabe,
    I also own a Zen Sleek photo, and while I haven't had any of the problems you have mentioned with Napster; one problem you should watch for (currently experiencing it for the 2nd time!) is trying to play your music from Napster and not being able to because you get a message saying that "No license to play this track". And it's a huge problem, as it doesn't just affect one song, but your ENTIRE library. I fixed it once and am trying to find out how to do it again. Once I do, I'll probably leave Napster, but I will probably have to download ALL my music again.
