NuVo N200 and browsing files, without actually playing them

I'm not sure if there was any answer to that question in any previous thread, I did a search on N200 and there's so many results, checked a few of them but couldnt find anything.
The most frustrating thing for me at the moment with my N200, which I think overall is a very good player, is that there's no way to browse directories and files without playing them. That's a BIG handicap. I got a directory with about 00 MP3s, misc songs, and it takes forever to skip to a specific song because the player actually tries to load the tune play it every time you go to the next. What would be great and almost necessary is a browse feature that allows you to skip over directories and files, while the player is still playing the current tune, and then will play the new song when selected.
Also, a STOP menu feature, which would be one of the first icons when loading up the menu, would also be very important. Sometimes you don't want to shutdown the player, just stop it for a few seconds.
Is there anyone else with the same wishes? Any possbility of a firmware upgrade someday?

Oh... on my MuVo nx I can do what you propose! The trick is to PAUSE the current track. Unfortunately, it's not possible to browse WHILE a current track is playing without interrupting it. I agree.. a firmware upgrade ought to be entirely possible! I too would like the ability to "look around" at the song collection while a tune is still being played in the background. I never really explored the functionality of any of the other flash-based portable mp3 devices before I settled on this one. I mearly jumped on getting this 256meg version when a supplier informed me that Creative had a 2 or 3-week promotional price on it. At Under $20 cdn about 2 months ago it was hard to pass up!
I wonder if the Muvo C00 would have been a better choice (but I don't like its "round" design). The C00 seems to have a larger display (which I like).
I guess we would have to download the User Manuals of all the devices we're interested in inorder to learn if a certain feature or function is available?

  • I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

    I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
    1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
    2) Erased phone and restored from back up
    3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
    4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
    5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
    6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
    7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
    8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
    9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
    10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
    11)  I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
    After all of these things it is now WORSE!!!  My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out.  My conclusion is i have no clue at this point!  I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!!  PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!! 

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • Where are my purchased movies through iTunes stored on my PC?  I need to back-them up on a hard drive and then I want to play them on my iPad

    where are my purchased movies through iTunes stored on my PC?  I need to back-them up on a hard drive and then I want to play them on my iPad

    They're in the iTunes folder, in iTunes Media or iTunes Music depending on when your iTunes was first installed. The iTunes folder by default is in My Documents/Music.

  • I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? Thank you

    I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank.  I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you

    For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

  • Firefox should display .swf and .flv files without Adobe. You can do it can't you?

    If the program, 'Media Player Classic' can play .swf and .flv files, the surely Firefox programmers can do for those what was done for .pdf files. PLEASE!

    hello, mozilla is indeed working on it, but this is not an easy task...

  • How can I stop Photoshop CS5.5 taking control of html and pdf files without the user's consent?

    Our client uses CS 5.5, and Photoshop will continuously take control of pdf and html files. This is without any interraction from the user, and after setting it back to the desired settings (pdf - Reader, html - Chrome), after some time (and doesn't seem to be related to anything the user does, restarting machine etc), Photoshop will snatch control of either or both of these extensions.
    Could you please advise on how best to deal with this issue? Resetting Photoshop preferences does work for a time but it is not long before the issues arise again.

    Thank you for the link, it is an encouraging read as I have not yet found anything even similar to my issue via searches.
    The machine has never had a previous version of Photoshop installed, but it does have Elements, which is used for scanning documents (which are then edited in photoshop and converted to pdf there). It is an involved process.
    Although I appreciate the link and your time, I'm afraid the issue in the link is the opposite issue - the other user cannot set the default, whereas my user cannot unset the default.

  • Most of the .mov and .AVI files doesn't play anymore with QT 7 or 10

    I'm running OS 10.7.5 and most of the .mov files that were generated with Quicktime 7 doesn't play anymore, except in VLC.
    I used QT7 because it can still crop and edit videos, instead of QT 10 that came with the system.
    QT7 has a also a very nice feature that allow to reset the image ratio, which is sometime very usefull.
    I shall say that videos came from a digital recorder I used to tape the TV and those files came as .AVI
    Anyway, overnight (probably after an update of iTunes or any part of the system) QT 7 nor 10 can play those files anymore !
    Each time I try to open a file with QT it says I need a codec, and leads to the DIVX download page, but installing this codec doesn't solve my problem.
    QT7 was a very fine software and worked until now.
    Why an update makes my system go backward ??!?
    I'm a huge fan of Apple, but that is not acceptable !!!
    It just makes me want to purchase on older mac and go back to 10.6 !!!
    Shame on you Apple !

    Indeed, a further search on the side lead me to this page :
    http://perian.org/
    and now it works again !
    I still don't get how an update could change the system like this.
    Anyway, thanks for the reply

  • Opening PDF and PPT files without using BuddyApi

    Hi, please excuse my newness.
    I'm wanting to open pdf and ppt files through Director (I'm using 11.5) but I'm struggling with finding the right code to make it work. I saw that a lot of people are recommending Buddy Api. However I'm cheap and was hoping that there would be a way to open files without having to resort to using/paying for this xtra. Is there a reason why opening files in Director seems to be such a hassle?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'll also add that from my understanding, an unregistered version of Buddy API can be used in commercial applications.
    Buddy API is a great Xtra and if you're going to be developing applications with Director, this Xtra will be a valuable purchase. Buddy Xtra is recommended a lot in the Director forums for a good reason.

  • Help!- MP3 and WMA files no longer playing on my Micro Pl

    I have a 52mb micro plus that I got in September 2005. All of a sudden, I can longer play my mp3 and wma files... just the radio. I have updated my creative zen file organizer, I have a full powered battery inside, I have done no significant damage to the player (I dropped the player once on the sidewalk but not from a big distance or very hard), and I really can't think of anything else that is causing the problem. Can someone please help me fix my player so I can start playing my music files again? Thank you.Message Edited by jjc92787 on 05--200707:0 AM

    No unfortunately not. I don't know how to escalate this to Apple tech but I think that is the next step as I believe it is IOS based problem, not user related.

  • .DV and .MOV files don't play smoothly in the Final Cut Express viewer

    Hi,
    I bought Final Cut Express 4.0 yesterday, so I have no experience with it. I only used iMovies HD 6.0.3 a little before.
    Problem:
    When I import my .MOV and .DV files into FCE 4.0, then try to watch them in the viewer they don't play smoothly. The sound is fine, but the video is not smooth, it plays in stops and starts.
    Just to see, I tried importing a .FLV file and it plays just fine in the viewer, both audio and video runs smoothly with no 'stop starting'
    I experimented with importing different file sizes of .DV and .MOV, from 3GB to a few MB even and even very small clips of a few KB. But regardless of the size I always have this problem of them not running smoothly in the viewer.
    One of the .MOV files I tried to import was a reference file, and I later read in the manual that FCE may only recognise the original file. But I have the same problem even with the Original file and other self contained files that have been copied from the original. So it doesnt seem to just a problem with reference files.
    Any idea what the problem might be?
    Is it something to do with how I have FCE set up?
    Or is it that the .MOV and .DV files are not being properly imported and is this why they are not running smoothly in the viewer?
    I'm using a MacBook with 10.4.11 operating system, which the guys at my local Apple store said would be fine for using FCE 4.0.
    Hope someone can help,
    Ian.

    Look at item properties for the .mov and .dv files. What exactly does it say they are? What drive are they playing back from? Make sure the contents of the viewer are set to fit to window in the View popup at the top of the viewer.

  • I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

    Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

    My DeDuper script is designed to help clean up. See this thread for background.

  • ITunes is moving my music files when I play them

    I am using iTunes 10.3.1.  I have all of my music in a folder on an external drive attached to my Airport Extreme Base Station.  I am having an awful time maintaining links between iTunes and the music files, but I understand that is because the drive keeps going to sleep and unmounting.  The big problem is that when I do play a file, iTunes actually MOVES the file and creates a new folder outside of the media folder.
    Structure
    Seagate Drive attached to AEBS
    ->Central iTunes Library
         ->Music
              ->Artist Name
                   ->Album Name
                        ->Song File
    After I play the song, I get this
    Drive
    ->Central iTunes Library
         ->Music
         ->Artist Name (promoted to same level as the Music)
              ->Album Name
                   ->Song File (No longer exists in the location described in the original structure- it has been moved)
    Can anyone explain to me why this is occuring and how to stop it?
    Thanks in advance

    If by 'multiple' you mean 'duplicate', iTunes 6 has a "Show Duplicate Songs" option under the 'Edit' menu.
    This won't delete duplicates, but it'll assist with locating them.

  • I "restored" my itunes library after erase/reinstall and now I can't play them.

    This is a continuing issue from last weeks question:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4176309
    I now get this message: "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So, I click yes and it can't seem to be found. I log into my apple account and download all my past purchases again. This fixes a few of the songs, however songs I downloaded from CDs years ago are now not available to me and some purchases from years past via my previous imac. I was told by several Apple Geniuses that my Time Machine would back everything up, and it seems that it has. I restored them, I guess because they show in my library. Only this time they have exc!amation points and say the files can't be found?! How are they listed but not there? Ugh! Did I put the files somewhere I shouldn't have? I guess it's entirely possible that I don't know where they were supposed to be. I don't have these CDs anymore. iTunes and my iPod have made moving them obsolete so I got rid of them. Please don't suggest I download the CDs again because that is an impossibility. I do however need some direction on what I may have possibly done wrong. I'm super frustrated. I tried again just yesterday and can't find where the original files were restored so I can restore from the proper place.
