Playing music via Creative Media Sou

Hi, I've searched through this forum for an answer to this with no luck. Once I have songs loaded on my Zen Touch, can I play them through my computer (i.e., desktop speakers) via Media Source?
What I'd like to do is remove the music files from my desktop HD and simply connect the Zen when I want to listen to music. At this point, I can move files to the Now Playing list and play them, but the audio only comes through the headphones. I'd like to avoid having to unplug my desktop speakers. Oh, and I have successfully started up Nomad Explorer and "cut and paste" files to Media Source - is this the only solution? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Most likely your PC is USB. If it were USB2 it will buffer the files in MediaSource and play them on the PC. More here.
You can get the excellent freeware JBHTTP or the equally excellent shareware Notmad (with the Xtreamer function) which *should* play the tracks on your PC.Message Edited by SSR on 2-05-2004 0:28 PM

  • Recording/playing back with Creative Media Sou

    I have a C00 Mp3 player which came bundled with some creative software, including a software Mp3 player and recorder for windows.
    I have tried recording via the sound output of the sound card, and at 28kbps it does fine. But when I record at 40kbps (for example a radio talk show), then try to play it back, it plays back at many times the correct speed.
    When I open the 40kbps file that I recorded with this Creative software, using Winamp, it plays fine. The creative software mp3 player can open and play other 40kbps files I've recorded (using Audacity) with no problems.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    I haven't played it back on the C00 - I mean it plays back too fast on the windows software they include (but fine on Winamp).
    Any ideas?

  • Can I use apple tv to play music via wireless speakers?

    Can I use apple tv to play music via wireless speakers without turning the tv on, or do I also need to purchase airport express device?

    Well, this is a C&P from your link:
    With Apple AirPlay and Audio Pro Wireless you can stream iTunes playlists and songs from your Mac, iPad and iPhone wirelessly to Living speakers or RX100 receivers anywhere in your home. Just connect our transmitter to an Airport Express and select your Airport Express unit as sound device on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Now let the music flow.

  • Playing Music via Airtunes and using as a repeater simultaneously

    Id like to use Airport Express as a repeater and a client for playing music via Airtunes simultaneously. Is this possible anyhow? I do only have two choices using the airport-assistant: 1st Connecting to use Airtunes and bonjour printer; 2nd using as a repeater. This can´t be everything!

    alterkram, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Regardless if you configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join a wireless network or as part of a WDS, both Airtunes (music streaming) and wireless printing are available.

  • Playing music via car bluetooth

    I have a Mecedes Benz GLK250, my iphone 5s connects to the bluetooth and i'm able to make calls. However, it cannot play music via the bluetooth. Is there anything I can do?

    Hey MacSociety,
    This will not work.
    The iPhone supports bluetooth headsets and hands free car kits which allow you to make calls over bluetooth. It does not support stereo over bluetooth(A2DP.)
    This article will show you how to pair your iPhone with most cars.

  • My Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging

    my Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging. We have already restored the settings of the Ipod but it doesnor help. Please your advice.

    Yes the manufacturer (Philips) says that the device (CD player with a docking station) should work with my IPod+iOS 6.2.1; we've updated the Ipod to iOS 6.2.1.
    We've bought the device this week, so I assume the firmware is up-to-date...
    My Ipod also does not work on another device with Apple-docking station, whereas other Ipods do connect with my new Philips device. I think it is pretty clear that my Ipod is the problem?
    I think we'd best go to an Applo store?

    Hi kingminjing,
    Have you checked your Control Panel to make sure you don't have the flashlight turned on?
    Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and make sure the flashlight icon (bottom left-hand corner) is not white. If it is, tap on it to turn it off.

  • Issue with Ford Sync (Microsoft Sync) & iPhone 4--Playing Music via USB

    I have a 2011 Ford Flex and and iPhone 4. The Sync system will not play music via the USB connection. It is quite temperamental with the bluetooth as well. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Well I have a 2010 Fusion with Sync and an iPhone 4. Have had various issues getting things to work right all the time. I'm not sure if Sync in the 2011's is much different.
    When you say it doesn't play music, what does it do when you give it the USB command? Does the iPhone charge when plugged into the USB port? If the phone charges and it seems to let you select USB but doesn't play any music, on your iPhone, go to iPod and you may see an accessory connected screen. Touch the icon next to SYNC and you will see SYNC and doc connector listed. Touch doc connector and see if the music is heard.
    If you haven't already register at www.syncmyride.com you will find some community forums there with hints/steps on getting Sync and iPhone to work properly.
    Generally though, there have been a lot of issues with SYNC and Apple devices.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot transfer files using Creative Media Sou

    I cannot Cannot transfer files using from my PC to my Creative Jukebox 0GB using Creative Media Source. Since I installed Windows Media Player 0, it seems that Windows Media Player 0 is the only program enabled to transfer files to my creative Jukebox. I would just go ahead and use Media Player, but Media Player won't let me change my library to one designated music file folder location. Media Player wants to find every copy of the same song on my system and is very difficult to use to transfer the files to my Jukebox device. Is there any fix to make Creative Media Source the preferred (or only) program used to transfer the files from PC to device?

    i am having a similar problem, although i have not downloaded windows media player 0. The creative mediasource software wont let me transfer songs onto my zen touch (20G). i only got the player a couple of days ago and it only has about 400 songs on it so far so there's no problem with the memory. I had problems before where it wouldnt let me upload anything that began with a letter after 's' in the alphabet! i solved this (no idea how) but the problem seems to have come back and now it wont let me up load anything. When i atempt to, it comes up with the prompt "unable to read file. file may be in use, missing or corrupted." (which they arent as far as i know) I also, for some reason, cannot play any songs through creative mediasource - even though i could a few hours ago!
    Please could someone help as this is very frustrating!!!!!!

  • Creative zen firmware update now trouble with creative media sou

    I wanted to start downloading music from an online store and was advised that I needed a firmware upgrade for my creative zen, which I did (version 2.2.02) and could download music. However since I have done this my zen is no longer recognised when I connect to my pc - which is running on Windows XP. I took advice from creative and reloaded my firmware after starting my player in recovery mode and then I reloaded the creative media source organiser software. After that I could find the player in the organiser but everything was laid out differently with all my music in folders which made it really tricky to navigate.
    The icon is this grey thing which doesnt look like a creative at all! Although I can move files around it is still not recognised on the bottom right of my pc and I can't safely remove the hardware because of this. I am also having problems with syncing from the pc library to the zen and it is not picking up duplicate files but adding them again so I am getting loads of copies of the same music - nightmare. When I am deleting it is just not recognising and I have been through this process a few times now and its getting pretty tiresome!
    Should I reinstall the organiser again and do a clean up in recovery mode?

    The Zen MicroPhoto is an MTP Device.
    Minimum System Requirements:
    Microsoft? Windows? XP (Service Pack or higher)/XP 64-bit
    You might find a work-around for not having the minimum system requirements in this thread or this thread.

  • Samsung Fascinate, problems with playing music via USB port on car stereo

    Before the update, I could play the music files on my Fascinate via the USB port on my Kenwood stereo, and control basic functions such as skip, pause etc.  Now, my stereo does not recognize the device, and cannot read the files.  I went to local Verizon store where a sales rep tried to connect it in here new Kia Soul and it didn't recognize the device either. It will play via the AUX jack, but I lose player control and the phone does not charge via the AUX cable.  She did a hard reset which did not resolve the problem.  We tried one of the other employee's Fascinate in my car, which did not work either.
    So, after hoping to be able to stream music via Pandora, Jango etc thru the USB port after the update, now it seems its primary function is for charging.
    Also, the ALL SHARE function, which I used to get the music on my phone originally, does not work now.
    Anyone else have this issue with music player and USB connection?

    txgopher- I have personally never used my Fascinate to listen to music via USB via stereo however, I can see why it would be frustrating for you to no longer be able to do so when it was never an issue prior to the update.
    It sounds as though you and the store rep already did some troubleshooting by trying to duplicate the problem with another car, stereo and even doing the final troubleshooting step which is a master reset.
    Since you have done all of the necessary troubleshooting steps to no avail, it most definitely appears as though the software update has interfered with that USB connection in some way.
    What I have done is forwarded the information you have provided to Samsung in order for them to look into this concern as well as come up with a way to get this resolved.
    Please stay tuned because as soon as we hear back from Samsung we will be sure to update this forum with the results/findings.

  • Windows Vista--again- Cannot install Creative Media Sou

    Hello. I have a Zen Microphoto. I bought a new computer running window vista home premium 32 bit. I have been tryng to install the creative media source 5 to manange my music and playlists. I prefer this over Media Player. Every time I try to install the program, the setup program stalls with an error message, "searching for installed components" I have tried installing the program with the ZEN plugged into different USB ports and I have tried deleting the driver from the device manager and reinstalling it. Can anyone help me with this??

    I would work through the reset procedures given under the various FAQ threads and then try the firmware upgrade again after getting it out of recovery mode as that seems to be the issue. There seem to be a number of threads with things to try. I would not give up but first work through the various suggestions to get it out of recovery mode. Then post separately re the recovery mode problem to see if anyone has ideas for solving that first. Did it go into recovery mode immediately after the firmware upgrade? Will it let you try to do the firmware again?When I connect it takes about 20 secs before the player is recognized by media player. In terms of transfer to your own laptop - do you have a burner on the friends PC for burning a DVD or 2. Or a slower way is multiple transfers using a USB memory stick.
