Playing zen micro photo thru usb on warfedale portable cd pla

<font face="Garamond">i just got a warfedale cd player which is supposed to be able to play music from mp3s or usb device but when i plug in my zen micro photo via usb to the front, it just charges and doesn't play. it does work on my brother's archos mp3 but not my mum's smaller archos. hers and mine both charge thru usb, his doesn't, so maybe that's?y?i thought that maybe a lead going from jack plug to usb might work on mine but can't find one anywhere, tho the guy in one shop said he could make one he didn't think it would work and that it should work thru usb anyway. i now wonder whether its just down to settings. can anyone help with this?:angry::robotmad::manmad::womanmad:?

Thankyou for replying, what tiype of cable would I need to buy in order to connect my creative. Many thanks

  • Zen micro photo charging without

    How do I charge my zen micro photo using USB without XP? I tried charging using my office PC running Win 2000. I left it plugged in for 8 hours and my battery level never increased.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    OZ

    I tried switching to mass storage mode, plugged to USB (with Win2000), waited ~2.5 hours and no increase in battery level. Thanks for the suggestion, but it is annoying that my ZMP does not have support for Win2000 in the first place, but now it can't even charge without XP.
    Creative!!! Here are some suggestions
    . Windows 2000 support.
    2. USB charge capability with at least Win2000.
    3. New software to manage files and playlists already on the ZMP.
    I still have another week to return the ZMP, but it looks like I'll return it.

  • Suggestion: ZEN Micro Photo: Album art when playing tra

    I was kinda hoping that you could display album art whilst playing tracks on the ZEN Photo. If you can, I can't figure it out, nor is it mentioned in the brief manual.
    Please consider this as a suggestion to include the feature in the next firmware update. I also think it would be cool to be able to display a slide show durring audio playback. You could create presentations for the road or simply display slides in MTV fashion that go along with the tunes.
    What do ya think?

    * I've seen some comments on the screen being dim (or not as bright as expected). Can anybody confirm or debunk?
    I set the screen contrast to 80 percent. In normal office lighting, pictures appear crisp and bright enough. In total darkness, looking at the screen won't hurt my eyes either. OLED rocks!
    * I've read reports about no music while viewing pictures. True or False?
    Unfortunately this is true.
    * Anybody using SUBSCRIPTION music on their Micro Photo If you are, can you see album art while a track is playing (like the Apple nano)?
    Unfortunately again, album art is not displayed.
    Overall I'm very happy with Zen Micro Photo. The only complain is that the radio is mediocre at best.

  • ZEN MICRO PHOTO USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNI

    help !! i am also having a problem similar to your and just about everyone elses on here. I just purchased a zen microphoto for xmas a month ago and it has been a nightmare . it has worked for about a month perfectly then it ceased to be recognized by? my Alienware area 5 desktop system which previously recognized it fine. I took all of the steps and scanned all of the forums then realized that after uninstalling my windows media player and rolling back to 0 it began to be recognized again. well then surprisingly and maybe not so much so after looking at so many of the post of these forums. Well I have taken so many steps to try to get my ZEN MICRO PHOTO to once again become recognized by my computer? and yet again all efforts have been fruitless. I reformated my ZEN MICROPHOTO?and now when i plug it in a small window pops up at the bottom stating that the USB DEVICE IS NOT RECOGNIZED . I then cannot upload new firmware and can in fact do absolutely nothing but gaze at the player which boots up then fades to black while my pc sees my player as an unknown usb device. I even reformated the pc for the sake of the player , cutting off the nose despite the face in other words and still no dice. I have windows xp service pack 2 , all updates and bios up to date. My pc is only 2 years old and have a lexmark printer? a mouse and a keyboard attched to it , none of which create conflict. Even after reformatting my pc i made sure my player was one of the first peripherial devices connected and all to no avail. I think this is a disgrace that such a compnay as CREATIVE cannot put foward a quality product. Does anyone out there have any solid suggestions on how to fix this proiblem if so they would be gretaly apprecaited. ThanksEdward

    vacantmind: You might also want to make sure that you get the latest drivers and software as follows:
    . Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
    2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
    3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource
    Install . then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2. and 3. (the player must be connected for 2. to verify you have a Creative product).
    Also an important test is to install the drivers and software on another PC, say a friend's, and see whether you have the problem. If you don't, then the issue is with your PC, or a compatibility issue with the player. If you do, then there's something wrong with the cable or player.

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo 8GB Driver Problem XP USB

    Xp couldnt find driver to install for Creative Zen micro photo 8gb. I have P4 Xp sp2 USB .. It works fine with other.

    MTP is a protocol. For our purposes it means that the driver should be included with WMP0. (...and that is the connection, you get the driver by installing WMP0.)

  • Zen Micro Photo USB & Battery quest

    I bought a zen micro when they first came out about 2-3 years ago. Well the dreaded headphone jack issue has finally gotten to me. So I just bought a zen micro photo. Was on sale here for $00 so I figured y not buy it! My question is this:?) the usb cable that comes with the photo is alot shorter than the regualr zen micro. Can I use the regular zen micros usb cable to transfer songs?2) I have 2 batteries for the regular micro. Would those work with the photo??

    Hi,
    Yes, they both have the same mini USB connection so the cable is the same type.
    As far as the battery goes, it would work, but the Zen Micro battery is not as powerful so the battery life will not be as long.

  • Using Zen Micro(Photo) with plain Explo

    Is there a possibility to copy MP3 files simply by drag-and-drop with the Windows Explorer to the Zen Micro(Photo) so that the files are treated as MP3 and NOT as simple data files? Technically it is quiet simple to do this by using the hard disk of the Zen as an extra hard disk in Windows. Even the cheapest USB-stick based MP3-player can do this. Why not a Zen (or the iPod competition)?
    I refuse to use any specific software to copy my self ripped MP3-files because I know that that software (Creative, iTunes, even Windows Media Player and other) changes things during the file transfer and I don't want any change in the MP3 files, not even a single bit!
    I want to buy a Zen Micro Photo (8 GB, color screen), but I refuse to do it as long as it is impossible to crag-and-drop my MP3 files simply thru the Windows Explorer.

    Yeah that's what i always did. I just drag and drop MP3 files directly into my player without using any software whatsoever.

  • Zen micro photo wont connect

    well my brother got a zen micro photo for his birthday yesterday, so in the evening we tried to start putting music on it and it wont even connect. i have windows with service pack 2, windows media player 0, and the micro explorer. now when i connect it to the computer it wont even start charging :/ and the explorer says its not connected, plz help

  • Zen micro photo malfunct

    I got a zen micro photo a couple of weeks ago, every thing installed fine, it worked perfect. Then one day I go to plug it in for a charge and get an error message "One of the divices attached to this computer has malfunctiond and windows does not recondnise(spell) it. As soon as i get this error, the zen micro completly freezes. The only way i can turn it off is if i take out the battery. At first i thought this was the player it self, so i went beck and returned it. Got a brand new one and everything. I had all the software installed so i just plugged it in and guess wat... i got the same error! I tried reinstalling everything and starting from scratch, but i keep on getting the same error. I need help guys! I want to get this thing to work and there is no way in heck that im getting an IPOD! Im running win xp sp2 recently i installed a usb 2.0 card (which is plug and play) this was inbetween the time i hadn't charged my zen yet. I tried pluging it back to my old usb ports but i still got the same error. I dont think its the usb card...
    i need help plz! I cant charge it because it freezes when i plug it in and my battery is almost dead.

    I never encountered this with my MicroPhoto, perhaps one of the devices malfunctioning could be in your computer itself and not the player?

  • Help with my Bran-New Creative Zen Micro Photo. [Questi

    <EM>If you don't want to see the backing of my whole story skip to the bold print at the bottom!</EM>I also want you to know I read the FAQs and searched through some topics like this, but haven't found any asking my question.First of all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching Creative's Zen for a long time now. I kept observing each one closely before I purchased a product. I then saw the Zen Micro Photo come out. This one won my attention. I loved this, I quickly searched for reviews and went for the buy for Christmas. I told my dad about it and he was "iffy" on the price, but it was better then the iPod in my opinion.Christmas day came and I opened it. Right away I checked everything out I knew a lot about the menu already and all, but not really how to control it. I checked to make sure everything worked. All systems were go. After listening to the defaults (which I loved) I went to go install the software. I already had Media Player 0 and Adobe, oh and I didn't want the freakin AOL toolbar! Lol, so I installed everything else. It took forever, but I hooked it up and I installed the drivers, but as soon as I plug in the USB connector I see: "A HIGH-SPEED USB device has been plugged into a LOW SPEED USB port.After that, I switched USB ports, btu I got same message. I hit the X and then tried to charge. I got the Lightening Bolt, but no dimming of lights. I found out that this computer is not letting me install any service packs, I'm confused about that.My question:Is there anyway I can charge this mp3 player and download music onto my Zen Micro Photo without Service Pack ? Or did I just pay $250 for a really cool glowing mp3 player to be used as a paperweight? (I love this Zen and I ran the battery dead hoping that would make the charging easier).Help?
    My Specifications:
    My Mp3 Player: Zen Micro Photo (Black)What I tried: Switching USB ports and re-installing Service Pack Software: Not sure how to determine firmware without installing something. I'm on a XP Professional and I'm using the Creative Media Source and Creative Media Toolbox

    Thank you DM for responding. I am expecting problems, but it still won't allow me to charge the Zen Micro Photo or even use the Creative Media Source. I can't upload any songs or any contacts on it. I haven't uploaded anything yet, but it's not reading the USB device. When I run Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer I get this message at the top of the screen: "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer. I can't organize anything or add songs... so it just makes all the programs I downloaded useless and my Creative product unusuable.ONe thing it does do though... whenever I plug in my Zen MIcroPhoto to the USB it turns it on and glows, but only shows my battery at the top with one red line and the green lightening bolt filling the battery up.After leaving it like this for two hours the green moves, but the red bar stays the same size.

  • Zen Micro Photo not recognized in Media Explo

    Device automatically goes into Recovery Mode when turned on. Tried the clean up and format features, followed by reboot. Still nothing. ?When connected via USB, Device not recognized in Media Explorer. Tried to reload firmware, but getting error message that device is not connected.
    Can someone help?

    Hey i think i know what your problem is. What Operating System are u running on your computer? (Windows XP, ME etc) And also, if running XP do you have service pack installed? If you dont have service pack installed, you cant use your player. The system requirements can be found on the back of the zen micro photo box. goodluck!!

  • Having big problems with Creative Zen Micro Photo!! I need much urgent help!

    Hi. I am having a big problem with my MP3 Creative Zen Micro Photo device at the computer.Here is the thing:Before I bought this I had the regular Zen Micro & having fun with it. I had no problems with that when I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs. So I bought the Zen Micro Photo & installed it my computer. As normal I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs & pictures.So I reinstalled Windows XP at my computer, and when I installed the CD that followed to transfer new songs, the Windows said that it's an unknown thing I have connected in the USB.So I installed Service Pack & 2. I have tried to install drivers from the cd but it seems that there are no drivers on the cd! The big problem is that when I connect the MP3 to the computer, it doesn't read it's a Zen Micro, it's just unknown! So the Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer program doesn't work & I can't transfer songs or picture on it! And it just happened after I re-installed Windows on my computer. The same thing happened on my brother's computer after he re-installed windows. And when I connect the MP3 to the USB, it says that it's not a USB 2.0, but .! And I am sure it is 2.0 because it has always been like that before I re-installed windows. Also the MP3 does not re-charge when I put it my computer! The battery is just the same, it tries to do it but it doesn't. So I am using my sisters computer to charge the MP3 & transfer songs. I have tried everything but I can't seem to understand what the problem is? I have never experienced something like this before, and I really hope you can help me with this! To be honest I think what I am missing is the driver. So can someone PLEASE provide me the link for the driver? I have downloaded all those 3 on www.creative.com, but they are none of them! Also that playforsure firmawre thingy does not work because it sais that I have to connect my MP3, and it is connected already!Please reply as quick as possible! Thanks a lot for you kind help!
    I have also sent this mail to creative support! But please help me I have had this problem for almost 2 months now! =(Message Edited by anakwalajinn on 05-0-2006 08:47 PM

  • Zen micro photo wont char

    okay, creative explorer picks it up. I can put music on it and everything but it doesn't charge! This is getting really bad. My Bat is already dead and i can't charge it. This is my second faulty zen micro photo in less the 7 days! Any reason why it wouldnt be charging? help would be greatly appreciated(<--spelling)

    Won't charge? Can be a couple of reasons.
    - There should be a blue pulsating light when charging and the flash icon should appear at the batt icon.
    - The batt itself, player or even the USB cable may be faulty.
    - The USB cable is not plugged in correctly.
    If these 3 are not the cause, bring it back to the store and have them do a direct charging simulation for you.
