As a Last.FM moderator we see quite a lot of threads and requests passing by for a pplugin that would allow people to "scrobble" the tracks they played on any of Creatives MP3-players. (Take a look at http://www.last.fm/forum/276/_/26462, for example). The problem Last.FM faces here is that, by the looks of it, getting a timestamped log-file from plays on a Creative-player is not possible (don't quote me here, I am just the messenger, and have hardly any knowledge concerning the plugins...)I do know that there is a community that is pretty positi've about Last.FM and that moderators nor staff can help them here. Perhaps the nice people developing the software for your players might want to take a look at the site and decide that it might be a nice idea to open up the software a bit, or develop a plugin themselfs. It might prevent people (like me) from buying an iPod, which does allow me to submit my listened songs to the site...

  • Ogg support for Creative MediaSource Pla

    Hi I just started using the Creative MediaSource Player that came with the Soundblaster X-Fi Plantinum and I am trying to find out if there is ogg support for it. It doesn't seem to recognize ogg files. Does anyone know of a plugin or some way to enable ogg support for it.
    Thanks,
    Travis

  • Should I install "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSourc

    I have the Play For Sure firmware on my Zen Touch, now I'm going to first install the driver on my computer, then install the creative media source, then the play for sure software suite, and then the media source CD plugin. Should I also install the Zen & Nomad Jukebox plugin afterward or that's only for ppl who haven't upgraded the firmware?
    Thanks!

    The "Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource" is for those who have the non-PlaysForSure firmware. So, you do not need to install it.

  • Cannot play audio CD with Creative MediaSource Pla

    Hi All,
    I recently installed an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard and the Creative MediaSource Player software. I also purchased Creative 5. Analog speakers. Have everything configured pretty well now and really enjoying the enhanced sounds!
    My problem is that I cannot play audio CDs using the MediaSource Player. I can see my DVD Player and CD Player in the MediaSource Player 'Source' column and a list of all the tracks on the CD. (no track info, just track numbers and length)
    When I double-click on a track it cycles through all the tracks and then places an 'X' next to each one in the 'Now Playing' list window. If I have other music files from my harddri've available, it will start playing one of them.
    I've tried different CDs with the same results.
    I can use both the DVD and CD dri'ves to play an audio CD if I use any other player (Winamp, Windows Media Player, etc.) and use both dri'ves everyday for loading software and reading files. It will also read the demo DVD Audio disk that came with the card using the DVD-Audio player they provide so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
    I've read all the info that came with the card and on the Creative Web site and have been through every configuration screen multiple times but haven't found a switch that turns this feature on.
    Would like to get this working so I can standardize on one player that allows me to use all the advanced features of my new card.
    Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

    A good way to see what kinds of things you might need for something like vlc is to look at the optional dependencies for the package.  So if you do pacman -Qi vlc if the package is installed on your system already, or pacman -Si vlc if not yet installed, you can see in the output what kinds of optional dependencies there are.  Typically there is a short description of the extra functionality that the optional dependency can provide as well. 
    So in the case of vlc (and the libcdio optional dep) I get:
    $ pacman -Qi vlc
    Name           : vlc
    <SNIP>
    Optional Deps  : avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol [installed]
                     <SNIP SOME MORE>
                     projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin
                     libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output [installed]
                     libgme: for libgme plugin [installed]
                     librsvg: for SVG plugin [installed]
                     gnome-vfs: for GNOME Virtual File System support
                     libgoom2: for libgoom plugin
                     vcdimager: navigate VCD with libvcdinfo [installed]
                     xosd: for xosd support
                     aalib: for ASCII art plugin [installed]

  • Creative Mediasource Pla

    When I click on the icon I get an error message that says <B>
    Creative MediaSource Player has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    </B>
    I deleted files and folders under "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\ Mediasource but it didn't fix the problem. The problem started this morning. I have been having a lot of problems with static in the sound on my MS Flight Simulator (FS2004) program so I updated my creative drivers online and this problem began. I tried uninstalling the new drivers and loading the old ones from my installation CD but that did not help. I ran the creative diagnostics and it says the SoundFont fails. Running the fix does not help. It still fails the test. I tried restoring defaults from the start menu and got an error message there also. Audio HQ, Surround Mixer, EAX console etc. nothing will execute.

    Yes, I know. Your wondering why I even ask then. But I just can't help wondering what the heck it is. I also asked tech support and requested screen shots of it--they sounded very interested. So now I am curious as to what they might say.

  • Petition for Creative to provide updated THX console for Audigy 2Z

    Hi everyone
    I do not wish to upset the apple cart here, but I felt something had to be posted on this very forum. Yesterday I installed an X-FI Fatalty FPS soundcard for a client, and might I add it is a very fine soundcard indeed. I noticed the software/driver CD contains an updated and unreleased version of the THX console found on the Audigy 2ZS/4 driver CD's.
    Now I can understand you might think so, who cares if it's newer?
    Well this all new THX console application has a bass profile tab where you can configure the level of your sub and the size (radius) of your speakers, but the real must have feature is this new THX console contains profiles for several Creative Brand Speakers. E.g. instead of just having generic 7. speakers you can chose to Gigaworks S750 or Inspire T7700 from the menu. In fact it includes speaker profiles for a lot of speakers.
    Since the 2ZS/4 are already THX approved soundcards which include the THX console software application I think it is only fair Creative release an updated version of this application for us to, because it is far more useful than the one bundled on our CD's
    Might I add I also like the new Entertainment Centre.
    Please add your name to this list and if we generate enough attention, who knows maybe Cat will pass on to the software team our interests.
    Remember we have just got the updated version of the DVD Audio Player, so almost anything is possible.

    Hi <SPAN>johnston2
    Thanks for offering to help. I copied the THX console off my clients driver CD onto my USB Pen, unfortunately it does not work with the Audigy 2 ZS, for some reason it does not install and I do not know how to get it to run
    I would very much appreciate any help you are able to offer, but obviously for a kosher application for the Audigy 2 ZS/4/4 Pro by Creative would be awesome.

  • Petition for Creative to Release a Firmware Update for ZVM due to sound issu

    I don't know what i'm doing exactly, i've just seen other threads having similar headings, and although i haven't got mine yet, i'd like creative to sort out supposed 'distorting' etc with the ZVM. This is a big problem for people using ZVMs, so please resolve this issue as soon as possible!
    It would be great if this worked!

    I have'nt heard any distortion on the ZVM. It gets louder than I care to listen (I have a very loud car audio system in my car) I use a 00 dollar pair of in-ear Shure headphones and I dont use any EQ or bass boost. With a decent pair of headphones you won't need any EQ with this player and without EQ or boost you can take the player to its highest volume without distortion. If you dont have some already, buy a decent pair of headphones. They will make a big difference. I don't see the point in using low end headphones with a high end audio player.Message Edited by Player8 on 03-26-200604:44 PM

  • MSN Messenger stops Creative Mediasource Pla

    My 24 Li've External card works perfectly well with Media source player - until - I log on to MSN Messenger v.7. Then my PC tells me there is no sound device installed. Device manager tells me the device is working probably. I am fed up using System Restore. Any help guys?

    In Device Manager under Sound, Video and Game Controllers I have: - Audio CodecsLegacy Audio Di'versLegacy Video Capture devicesMedia Control DevicesRealtek AC'97 AudioSound Blaster Li've! 24 bit externalVideo Codecs?Sound Blaster Li've properties says that the device is working properly - which it is at the moment. The loss of sound is frequent, on booting up. Once it is on it does not "fail" whilst in use. It?comes back after using system restore, re-installing the soundblaster software or sometimes just on rebooting.
    ?The Sound Blaster is always shown as "working properly" even when it is not?

  • Re: creative mediasource pla

    After I shut down Media Player, Surround Mixer, and the Equalizer, how do I get it to startup in the same position it was in when I shut it down? I am getting tired of having to reposition the windows everytime. And since I always use these three apps, is there a way to start all three with one click aside from placing all of them in the StartUp folder and having it start upon boot up?
    Thanks

    I installed MS5 using auto update but it did not uninstall the old media source. After the install of MS5 I was having a conflict with another program that is in my startup folder causing it to not start. So I uninstalled media source 3 thru add and remove programs in control panel and it seems to have fixed the conflict with the program in the startup folder. Media Source 5 works fine but when I check the Creative website for updates it wants me to install all the Media Source 3 programs. Is this necessary or a glitch at Creative?
    It seems that MediaSource 3 and MediaSource 5 are designed to coexist with each other. I believe that MediaSource 3 may still be needed for some (old) products. That may be the reason why installing MediaSource 5 does not automatically uninstall MediaSource 3.

  • Creative Mediasource for Creative Zen (2-38

    Hey everyone,
    I am well aware that the current version of Creative Mediasource is not available for the Creative Zen. Now I figured that eventually they would make a version compatible with the Zen. I'm currently up to my 3rd Generation of Creative Mp3 players (from Zen Touch to Zen Vision: M to Zen 32 gb ), and I constantly used Creative Mediasource to edit the track information, usually the genres which awere so totally confused (Hip Hop should never be associated with Country :S). However, now that the Zen operates through Windows Media Explorer, instead of being able to select whole cds and right clicking them to 'edit genre', I now have to individually select each song and rewrite the details.. this could be a problem in the near future; I just got my mp3 player last tuesday, and though right now i'll manage, my media database is a little off in terms of assortment, and editing 600 tracks manually seems to be a rather tedious task >.< So, my question is(are):
    When (if they ever decide to do so) will a Creative mediasource version for the Creative Zen be released?
    Is there a faster method that I'm unaware of to edit the tracks?
    I did take the time to look through the forums before I wrote this, taking the precautions by searching for Creative Mediasource, Creative Mediasource Zen flash, etc.Thanks in advance!

    Well, I usually avoid Windows Media Player because the computer I use is also used by the rest of the family, and every once in a while it chooses to autosync music onto my Zen.. but if you say it's useful to edit multiple ID3 Tags (so that's the official name for them, oh..), i'll give it another try. And I'll try MediaMonkey too, because it sounds like the program was made specifically to make ID3 tag updating easier.
    Thanks for all your help!

  • Petition for new forum - wireless mu

    I want to start a petition for Creative to begin a new forum dedicated to the Wireless Music product. These discussion forums are nearly useless for the wireless music. If the Wireless Music had it's own forum I think we would see many more posts of problems, and possible get some attention from Creative on solving them. Please vote to start up this new forum.

    Wizard,
    We probably won't get our own forum, but... One thing I've found is that the Subject line of all messages about wireless music contain the word "wireless". I've built a URL address that I now have in my IE Favorites that does the job for me. It gets all messages with the word "wireless" in the subject line and lists them in descending order by date. This is as close as I can get you to what you want without SoundBlaster giving us our own forum. You may need to re-assemble this to a single line link...

  • Creative mediasource and Burning Di

    I got Creative Mediasource with my Creative Nomad MuVo2 Player. I have "auto upgraded" the software and the plugins through the site.
    There doesn't seem to be any burn option, although the help file tells how to do it.
    I know that there are better burning programs out there, I have Nero, but thought that it might be convenient to burn from Mediasource.
    Anyone know why I can't burn with my version (latest upgrade as well)?

    Do the update manually. Here is what you should do:
    - 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.
    - For NOMAD MuVo series: Download and install the latest Creative MuVo series plugin .0.05 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.
