Prob with 30gb Zen Nx Transferring On Real Pla

Hi i have a 30gb zen nx. I have been trying to transfer tracks with a usb cable on the realplayer software. It is ok transferring some tracks then it freezes. Also when you try to delete tracks it freezes. Only way to start again is by taking cable out, closing realplayer and re opening.
I have tried other software and that is not much better. I contacted real but they couldnt help me. I have also done a os reinstall and upgraded the firmware etc.
I would appreciate anyones help please.
Many thanks

Did you update everything? You want to go to the downloads page and download:
. Drivers = Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Software = Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Software plugin = Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource
You might also want to download the firmware (Creative NOMAD? Jukebox Zen NX firmware update version .0.02), but this is only going to work if you've got a working connection with the player.
Ultimately you need to determine if the problem is with the player or the PC, and a very quick way of checking this (reiterated in the FAQ post I think) is to install the drivers and software on another PC just to test if it works there.
Also look for the link "PC connection problems with your player" in the FAQ post, which has a lot more troubleshooting information.

Gotta a prob with my zen xtra 40

I have this double album i downloaded and anytime i try to transfer the songs it gives me the same songs from the st disc to the 2nd disc. It cant be anything wrong with the songs cause when i play the second disc its the correct song. BTW the songs in the 2nd disc are the same as the first one, the second disc is like a remix disc.

Yes but the Zen uses tags to orginise the songs, I can only imagin that your remixed disc has the same song titles and therefore the same tags,
Try retagging the second disc, retagging all the sonds first with a 2, then that will make them different from the first disc and therefore work.

Zen Vision M and Real Pla

Since I got my Vision M I have always had problems linking up with Real Player. It takes a really long time for the content of the device to load into the Real player. Just recently I have been unable to view the contents of playlists created in Real Player and transferred to the device. When I try to add new playlists the device locks up and needs to be reset. It has also locked up when deleting tracks as well (through Real Player) I tried dumping all the tracks and reloading, but the problem is reoccuring.
Any feedback I can get would be very helpful.
PS: I'm sort of stuck with Real Player since I purchased a bunch of (DRM) tracks from them prior to getting the Vision M.
Thanks.

Yes you were right I re-tried after reading your reply. They need to be really inserted reasonably tightly in your ears. If they are even slighlty loose then the bass is lost and other harmonic ranges lost. Finding the right ear piece so the fit is right seems important so they re not loose.
Also saw this link http://toykeeper.net/reviews/shure_e3c - someone with the same problem.
Thank for your help.

Trouble with my zen extra 40 gig mp3 pla

What did I do wrong?
I updated the firmware, the computer sees the player, now it sees it as a 20 mb hd plus, the firmware tells me that the device is not pluged in even though the computer sees it. it's in a recovery mode and seems impossible to access. Hope this is not a los cause. Any help on this will be greately appreciated.

You are victim number 224 of creatives bug ridden firmware update. Have a look through the recent threads and you will find that this has been happening for a while now. A few people have managed to get their Zen working again but not many. You could email creative support but you won't get any useful help, just an ?85 bill to replace it.

Editing Tags on the Player (Zen 32 GB) and Probs with cover

Hi there,
My dearly beloved Creative Zen touch just snuffed it and I replaced it with the Creative Zen 32 GB.
I am very, very satisfied with the player over all.
Only the Tag editing really annoys me.
On my Zen touch I could edit the tags after loading the tracks on to the player.
Not only one by one but say, all from one album at once.
Is this even possible with the Zen touch?
I accidentally tagged an audiobook with 7 CDs wrongly.
Do I have to erase it and load it on the player again?
That would be sooo uncomfortable.
Thanks for your help.
Oh and what do I have to do, to have the pictures of the albums shown on the zen?
I mean, how are these pictures attached to the tracks of an album?

I saw the suggestion earlier in this post to use the tag editing tool within zen media explorer but can't seem to find that on the software I have?
The "Zen Media Explorer" is the MTP device plugin for Windows Explorer. It creates a volume named "Zen Media Explorer" in the list of dri'ves/volumes that appear under "My Computer" or in a top-level explorer window. Since the flash Zen is MTP (not MSC a.k.a. UMS) it doesn't have an assigned dri've letter. It comes as part of the general "software pack" Creative includes with the Zen to handle management, video and image file conversion, etc. You can also grab the latest version/update from the (Support | Downloads | Zen) web page. You may need to use the controls in the bottom-left of the page (scroll all the way down) to filter the list for your particular OS.
The Zen Media Explorer will present a hierarchical list of files on the Zen. When you navigate to a song track, select the song track and bring up the context menu (right mouse button menu) there will be an "Edit Track Properties..." menu item. This displays a dialog box that lets you modify the core ID3 tags the Zen wants to properly organize the internal library (namely Title, Genre, Album, Artist, Track No. and Year). Only those tags can be edited at present. You can't assign/modify Album Artwork this way.

Accessories that come as standard with the Zen Vision: M 30gb.

Hi,?This may be a silly question, but do headphones come as standard with the Zen Vision: M? The only reason I ask is because I know it isn't standard to get?a charger. Also, there is an option to buy an accessories pack which has a charger but also has earphones. It is possible that these earphones are just better than the ones included but I thought it better to ask the silly question before I buy ?Thanks

There's video problems with my Zen Vision:M already (M video cable related) Please help

Some background...
System:Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Player: Brand new Creative Zen Vision: M with no firmware updates.
My Zen Vision:M has a problem (besides the scratch and fingerprint attracting top surface): It won't play videos on a TV screen when the M Video Cable (also from Creative) is linked to it anymore. It's only been a few hours...
I had the cable already, and got the player today. I let the player charge to /4th of a battery while I was setting up all the software. I ran the software programs just to take a peek, only changing the name of my player (to my name). I used Winamp 5.3 to put a music track on the player to test it. After that, I hooked it up to the VCR in my room through the white and yellow A/V plugs in front. It worked just fine. It to the tv a little large, but I was okay with it.
Later on today, the new AC charger I ordered came in the mail (Player came through UPS, charger through USPS). I looked at my old charger (Creative Zen Touch) and realized it would work with the plug-in part of the sync unit at the bottom. I tested it for a minute and it did. I still took it out and tried the new one. This is where, I think, something happened. I had to press the sides to get the thing in, and it was hard to come out. Everything still fit just right, and nothing seemed to be wrong. I used my old charger as I added more of my music library. Now it was on to videos. I had to convert the first two test vids (they were .wmv), but they played on my player fine. I put a bigger .wmv file onto the player to see if it had to convert it, and it did. It still played on the player. When I go to hook it to the TV with the A/V cord again, there was nothing but a black screen with the occasional diagonal scan line. The sound is still there.
Besides quirks with the navigational system, the player is still great for music and video. Still, I needed no video capability, and one of the things that made the ZVM a buy for me was watching my vids on the big screen. I'd return this for a second try, but I want to know if this is a recurring issue with you guys and if there's something I can do to fix it before a return. Did I mess with a setting? Should I get new firmware? Did I do wrong using my old charger? If any of you have an answer, or need more info on my situation, please let me know.
And BTW, does anyone know of some better software for organizing files on the ZVM? I used Winamp for my Zen Touch and the music on my ZVM, but videos are another ballpark. I can't transfer a video from one folder to another folder (assuming both folders are on the ZVM). Not to mention the music I transferred using Winamp isn't even showing up in Windows Media Player. I think I need a different program altogether.

I have got a new Creative Zen Vision W and getting the same problem....when i attach to the tv then i am able to hear the audio content and the video does not show.Are we missing something ? or is it a problem with the player. Also the software provided with the Zen converts small .vob files to .wmv when ever the size is large it gives an error 'conversion?unsucessful'.Any body facing similar problems please help.

Creative, Is it worth it? (i.e. whats your experience with the Zen 16gb) and Firmware questi

After doing a sizable amount of research on the Creative Zen 6gb MP3 player, I was relati'vely comfortable with the product and decided to purchase it.
However, after browsing this forum for a few hours, I see quite a few things that trouble me about Creative in general:
"Real person" my (CENSORED) -horrible customer support
Creative Expects 3rd Quarter Loss, Sells HQ Building?
Message to Daniel_K -lack of product support/customer relations
and a countless number of other posts about hardware and software issues with the Zen
I really like the features built into the MP3 player (FM transmitter, voice recorder, Equalizer) and do not want to sell my soul to Ipod.
That being said, I wanted to see if there was anyone on this forum that actually liked their Zen and did not have issues with it.
I would greatly appreciate your positi've feedback as I hope that I will not have to spend countless more hours searching for and then researching a different MP3 player that fits my needs.
In addition, I was curious about the user interface on the Zen. I know that it uses ID3 tagging and that a folder directory cannot be used to view mp3s on the player (unless this has been added in a firmware update?, however I checked the site and did not see anything about this addition). How impeding is this ID3 tagging reliance if about 00 to 500 of my mp3s have incorrect tagging? as in, will I go crazy trying to retag everything because all I see if "Unknown" for all the data?
Yeah, that's about it for my long winded post...
Thanks,
Joe?

Just return from Mexico and found my Zen 4 GB player missing from a light finger baggage handler. I would not even consider, in a thousand years, of purchasing from the "fruit company" their overprice Ipod without a FM receiver. The Creative Zen rocks. Need I say more.

US Playdock Z500 with UK Zen Visio

I really want a Creative Playdock Z500 to use with my Zen Vision M 30GB. However, it seems I missed the boat on the Europe supply, and everywhere I've looked is out of stock. I noticed it's in stock at Amazon.com so am thinking about importing one. Before I do, can anyone confirm that a US Playdock will be compatible with a UK bought Zen?Thanks!Sarah

Hi,
Here's the link.

A small problem with my Zen Xtra 60 turned into a bigger problem. Help me save it

What started as a small problem has grown to a big mess. My Zen xtra 60 GB unit started going to "Rebuilding Library" often. With 5000 Wma's on it, this rebuild was taking 30 minutes. So what I attempted to fix with reloading firmware to recognize the new Windows Media Player version, has left me with a dead unit.
I have followed many of the solutions, that have been able to fix other peoples units, but to no avail. While my computer sees the unit, none of the firmware loads will see the player. I fixed what was said in the register. Went through the 4 options of the "Rescue Mode" on the player, followed several of the knowledge notes on procedures, including hooking unit up to a new Dell Laptop. Exactly the same problem happens on a different computer.
I guess my first step is to get the computer to see the MP3 player when I run a firmware install.
Tell me what to do to save my little player.
Thanks Scott

I've had a similar experience, but to a degree. I've found that if I don't use my <EM>40GB</EM> Zen Xtra for more than one day the player will "re-build" the library... but in my case once the library has been re-built it plays just fine; none of my songs or memory are lost.
Why does the player have to "re-build" the library if the player is not used for a period of time?

VERY BIG PROBLEMS WITH MY ZEN MICRO AND MEDIASOURCE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE RESPOND

Ok so a while back I had to give up my computer because it wasn't working.
I thought that with my new computer I'd be able to transfer all of my music from my zen micro onto my new computer.
Now my new computer is set up and I have installed creative mediasource and everything. I started to transfer my music from my zen onto my computer. My first 2 songs transfered successfully onto my computer. On the third song, I get this message:
"Unable to read file, file may be in use, missing, or corrupted."
I thought that maybe it was just that one song so I shrugged it off. But then it says the same thing for every single other song that i have! Only my first 2 songs out of my entire music library on my zen will transfer!!!
Please i really need your help!!!
And say that there is no hope in getting the rest of my songs to transfer and i have to download 094 songs from limewire? I'll surely be arrested for downloading that much! What should i do if i must download all of them?
And one more problem with my zen: Some of my Jump Little Children songs are doing something weird. The song will be fine and then a clip from another song will play during it! And then press next and it just keeps playing all of my Jump songs in order even though my player is on shuffle and they do the same thing with the clip from another song interupting it. Whats going on?
Most importantly though, i really need the questions answered about transfering from my zen to my computer because i'll be getting a new player soon. But this is my entire music library at stake!! PLEASE RESPOND!!!

Might try this:? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...mp=true#M95059

I've decided to go with the Zen Touch. Any advi

hey guys, through all the research, i've decided to go with the zen touch 20gb (unless i find out what price the 40 will be sold at). Anyway, I'm planning on getting one by the end of the week. Anyone have any advice on first things to do? are there any upgrades or downloads i should get right off the bat? by any chance are there any nuances that the player has that it would be important to know? any common problems that there is a way of avoiding? any information would be great. im getting it from amazon.com for 99, well that is unless i can find an actual store that actually carries it, which im sure i wont. im excited...thanks guys.

Since the player is very new, there havn't been any updates for the firmware, if that's what you're wondering. I personally don't own a Touch, rather, I have an Xtra, but basically just follow the instructions on the installation manual (usually tells you to charge the device for x amount of hours, how to connect the device to your computer, install the included software, etc).
The only thing that is notable about the Touch is that when you first get it, the touchpad takes a while to get used to... or so I've heard.
Oh, and someone found the 40GB version at http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecsplash/...asp?dpno=65048
Dunno if this is for real or not though

Problems with new Zen

I don't know if this is what the player is supposed to do or it's a real problem. . I've noticed that when ever i turn the player off by holding down the slider button, the screen flickers a little from:-Now playing screen with "shutting down" box-Blank screen with "shutting down" box and battery icon-Then it does this weird horror movie-like flicker from a few different screens before shutting down. 2. Also during start up, there are always these blank white screens before and after the Creative logo. There is also a few times where the creative logo will flash a second time after the second white screen, but it's all striated with white lines. It goes through the rest of the start up process fine though 3. Also, sometimes when i plug it into a computer (one without any zen software) to charge, it would just have a white screen and nothing else. I try turning it on and off, but nothing happens. It still charges though. I haven't tried plugging the Zen into a compiter with the Zen software because my computer is out for repairs. The player still plays music, starts up, shuts down, and charges but i fear these little problems would turn into something bigger. Is this just a problem with the firmware Thanks

Hi there... I also encountered those problems you were talking about. the white flash before and after the unit completely turns on or off...i believe that the white flash is a characteristic of that model...i tried to eliminate it through firmware upgrade but nothing happens... i suggest that you get the latest firmware version(see the fixes)?and update your unit to prevent future problems.

Agp probs with GeForce4Ti4200

hi @all!
My prob is, that my geforce is working in AGP 2x mode instead of AGP 4x. i treid to install several drivers but it does not work. in my bios AGP 4x is enabled. i first thought its a prob with win2000prof, but this i checked (regedit).
win2000prof
PIII 800
Biostar M6VCF (VIA82C694X/82C686A)
i hope sb can fix my prob. thx for your help

Old VIA chipsets don't like AGPx4. There isn't any real loss of preformance here so for stability it would be best to leave it alone.
If you want to try it still then install the VIA 4 in1 and if this won't enablr AGPx4 you can create an enpty .reg file and paste in it :
/start copy here/
REGEDIT4
; For Win9x/WinME
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\System]
"EnableVia4x"=dword:00000001
; For NT4/WIN2K
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv4\Device0]
"EnableVia4x"=dword:00000001
/end copy here/
Now double click this file.
This will force AGPx4 on a VIA chipset.
To undo create another such file and paste in it:
/start copy here/
REGEDIT4
; For Win9x/WinME
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\System]
"EnableVia4x"=dword:00000000
; For NT4/WIN2K
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv4\Device0]
"EnableVia4x"=dword:00000000
/end copy here/

How do i realise the most basic functionality with my zen tou

I've been playing around with my zen touch for a couple of hours now and I have to admit I'm impressed. The zen has certainly opened my eyes and challenged my previous foolish preconceptions about portable mp3 players which should be open platform, plug-and-play, straightforward and easy to use, because my experience thus far has not been any of these.
In an attempt to stop wasting any more my time I was just wondering if someone could quickly tell me how exactly do I manage the files which are already on my touch? A couple of things I would like to do:
. view and music files on my zen touch from some interface on my computer
2. copy music files from my zen touch back on to my computer
3. delete all music files without manually having to go through each and every album
Now I've probably made another crass assumption that it is infact possible to actually do this, but here's to hoping.
Now, the manual says I can use the creative mediasource organizer to transfer music to my touch. And indeed, Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 claims to be able to do just this (transfer music tracks to and from your Creative portable music player using Sync Manager and SmartFit*). My question is... how? I've run the organizer, it looks like yet another music library management tool, great except for the whole part about that mp3 player stuff. Is there a hidden setting somewhere only available to stonemasons that will let me access my mp3 player?
I've also installed the Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0). Now, at least this works - in the same way a person in a coma can be said to li've. When I open the 'music library' I get an empty explorer window to I can click and drag mp3 files into it and it copies them over. So, I guess I have some functionality, although it would be kind of nice to have some feedback about what files I have on there.
Now as it's not april fools I'm not quite ready to accept that zen touch as the great big joke it appears to be, so if somebody could provide some insight I would really be grateful.
edit: forgot to mention, running .0.03 firmware, and the model number on the back is DAP-HD004. Upgrading to the 2. firmware is unfortunatley not an option at the moment.Message Edited by adante on 02-24-20060:7 PM

Mosey: thank you for the information. Just out of curiousity, was I just not paying attention and was this made known somewhere? Or do creative just expect you to potter around endlessly installing software in the hopes that you might randomly stumble across the right configuration?
Perhaps I am just crazy for assuming that if the latest firmware does not have a superseded message, it is still acti've and valid.
Anyway, I'm happy to report that the situation has been resolved mostly to my satisfaction. I was able to fob off my zen touch to some other sod, and actually make a profit from it, no less! This was quite a pleasant surprise because I usually dispose of fecal matter by flushing it down the toilet (but then, I don't have to pay for it either).
I have since purchased a noname mp3 player which, while having some pretty severe firmware, provides some great additional functionality which I have to admit I really like over the touch. Primarily, this was being able to copy mp3s to and from it* and hence use it as an mp3 player! I know this concept is a little radical, but I really think creative should look into it because it would really add some value to their current line of paperweights and doorsto
ps.
So thanks creative for that hilarious little experience. I have to admit, you guys certainly do manage to distinguish yourself from the field and push the limits of mp3 player technology. Where I used to think of a nai'vely spectrum of good to bad, I have since extended this from the good, to the bad, to the creative.
* This alone is a great feature I was never able to realise with my touch, and made even better by the fact I didn't have to install all sorts of half-baked software to achieve it!
