Problem with Creative MediaSource Organi

I recently purchased a new laptop and installed the Creative software that came with my Zen Neeon. However, whereas on my old computer I could select a recording source, on my new computer it only allows?me to record using a mic. Is there any way to fix this issue? I use the other recording options quite frequently and so far haven't been able to find a mention of this problem. Thanks.

If your new laptop has only microphone input, then you can only record from microphone.

    Hi Gilad,
    If you switched from a .x firmware to a 2.x firmware, you will need some software updates aswell so your applications can communite with the new firmware.
    You can find them in the Download section aswell. For MediaSource for instance, the file you need is:
    Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) (<FONT color=#222222 size=><B>23.98 MB</B>)

  • Problems with Creative Mediasource-shutting d

    For the past 24 hours I have been unable to use Creative Mediasource. Every time I get into the program to transfer songs from my computer to my MuVo a window pops up saying that there is a problem and Mediasource has to shut down. Then Windows sends an error message report. I have uninstalled the software from my computer and reinstalled several times but it isn't helping at all. I have no idea what's going on at all.
    Can anyone help? I have Windows XP and MuVo TX, G of memory. This is so frustrating and I have no idea what is going on.

  • Problem with Creative MediaSource and Zen Ex

    Earlier today my Creative MediaSource software (the Organizer) stopped detecting my Zen Extra (60GB). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times.
    Everytime I try to open the MediaSource Organizer, I get the following:?[size="3" color="#0033ff">Creative MediaSource Player has encountered a problem and needs to close.[size="3" color="#0033ff">?[size="3" color="#0033ff">Error Signature: [size="3" color="#0033ff">AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 2.2.5.0 ModName: ctcms.exe

    ?Can anyone help me? How can I get the Organizer working again and how can I get it to detect my player. I have installed the firmware and drivers on this site, but nothing is helping.

    Try deleting the .dat file(s) under "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\MediaSource". It may solve the MediaSource crashing problem. To detect your Zen Xtra, you need to install its plugin for MediaSource. You may install it from your product CD or get the latest from the Web download.

    My name is Allana and my lovely fiance bought me a Zen Touch for our 6 year anni'versary. I already love it dearly but transferring MP3s using MediaSource Organizer is a real nightmare.
    It will transfer about 5-0 tracks then I will get a 'Server Busy, switch or retry' error, which is quickly followed by a 'Player is not connected or is busy' error.
    Has anyone else experienced these errors? What did you do to fix it's
    It is taking me absolutely ages to transfer tracks at this rate.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Allana

    Connection problems can be due to a lot of reasons.

    Hey Guys,Here is a link to instructions on how How to obtain and to install USB 2.0 drivers in Windows XP Service Pack . http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q329632?Win2000 and later have the capability to support USB 2.0, but USB 2.0 was released after XP was release, so there weren't any drivers installed before Windows XP service pack 2. Make sure you've installed all your windows updates including service pack 2. You can check if you have SP2 by right-clicking on my computer and choosing "properties", it will say on the general tab. Also the way to tell if you have USB 2.0 drivers installed is to right-click on my choose "Manage", then choose "device manager" look down to "uni'versal serial Bus controllers" and click on the + . This will expand the USB devices. Look for the word "enchanced" (USB enhanced host controller). If you see it, then you have USB 2.0 support. If not, use the link above and get the drivers. Hope this helps!?JT

  • Upgrading Creative MediaSource Organi

    Hi All,
    I have a 30GB Zen Extra with firmware .03.02 and MediaSource Organizer 2.0.07. They're running on an XP ServPak 2 laptop with all current critical updates. I was thinking of updating to Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38.
    Question: Will my existing player firmware work OK with Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38? Or will I need to upgrade my player firmware?
    Thanks!
    Advait

    I have a Zen Sleek. Same deal... I wanted to upgrade the MediaSource software to version 5 because there are some bugs I've noticed that I was hoping were fixed in the new version.
    I tried to use automatic update from within Mediasource - it did not work. I downloaded the new version manually.
    Upon uninstall of old version and install of new version I get this wierd error CTXCommonDoInstall.return fails to launch error code 247024864.
    What the _______ is this?
    The install stops in its tracks. Now I have neither the old nor the new version on my system. How does one fix this?

  • Problem with Creative Zen Touch DAP-HD0014

    Hey,
    I have the Creative Zen Touch DAP HD004 as listed in the subject. Version .0.03
    In the "Information" part of the player, it lists it as having GB of music available, but in the menu only the 59 default classical music songs appear. (These are not knowingly mine!)
    I was wondering whether there was any way to turn the player into Hard Dri've mode to retrieve these songs, or to use some sort of program to view them and put them back onto the player? Everytime I use My Computer to browse the MP3 Player, all that appears are the same 59 songs.
    I hope this information can help someone to solve my problem!!

  • Transferring tracks from Nomad Jukebox 2 to MUVO with Creative MediaSource Player/Organi

    I recently installed Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer . When I transfer tracks from Nomad Jukebox 2 to my MUVO the tracks are transferrred as folders, not tracks (which the MUVO cannot play). How do I get the Nomad Explorer to transfer the MP3s as tracks and not folders? I'd appreciate your help.
    P.S. I do not have this problem when I use Creative Playcenter to do a similar tranfer.

    I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Perhaps there's some confusion with the MuVo Explorer, or plain Windows Explorer.

  • Trouble with Creative Mediasource

    I'm using the latest driver (2.0.00) And Firmware (2.0.03), and CMS5 5.0.38, with the plugins for Zen and the PlaysForSure. My system us Windows XP, SP2, and I meet the minimum system reqs for the program.
    Since "upgrading" to Creative MEdiasource 5, I've run into several problems, perhaps all interconnected.
    --Mediasource takes an incredibly long time to load my Zen (40 GB Zen Xtra), upwards of 3 minutes. This took only a few seconds in previous versions. This is present when connected through my front, back and USB hub ports.
    --Mediasource will rip a CD incredibly slowly. If I try to transfer more than one CD (That is, one, the procedure ends, and then start up another), I will get an error message and MEdiacsource will shut down.
    --Sometimes, the window itself will disappear, and I will be unable to access it. This has happened a couple of times instead of the previous problem. The process will still run, but I will be unable to reload it, and trying to forcibly end the process (Task Manager) seems not to work. This also happens sometimes when I browse away from my Zen (Say, to a CD or file on my computer), and come back to my Zen.
    I tried using my prior version, but it doesn't recognise my Playsforsure device at present, and I'm not sure if it's even possible to alter it.
    Is anyone else having a similar problem? I loved Mediasource prior to this version: It was a sleek, easy and intuiti've interface and covered almost all of my Organisation needs. I did check the boards, but I may have missed a similar problem. I'm wondering if this is an issue that people have a solution to.
    Any help's appreciated.

    Hello:
    I have formatted the player using the recovery menu as well as with WMP, because both are the recommended and "only" ways to format, depending on who you listen to. No difference, however in the way WMP behaves. When I get to the point where WMP can only sync a small few files, if I do a Cleanup (from rescue mode), let the Nomad rebuild the library, I can usually get more files in before it clogs up again. Every time I do a fresh format, I lose a couple of days worth of work, so I'm not doing it again.
    I don't have any way to control how much of the library to synchronize once it has gotten past my playlists, unless I spend time creating more playlists for this purpose. With a 60 G Nomad, and a library suitable for that storage, that's a TON of music to deal with.
    I'm still trying to figure out whether this is a Windows Media Player issue, a driver issue, or a Nomad firmware issue. Since I have to reset the Nomad between each sync attempt, and occasionally do a cleanup, I'm guessing it's the Nomad, and since I've seen it on more than one unit, I'm guessing it's a firmware bug.
    I'm hoping someone else has seen this issue and has a better idea. I hate all my choices: Notmad is frustrating because I can't get my playlists to come across. Creative Media Source is less reliable than WMP, so that leaves WMP as the least aggravating way to sync, and it works flawlessly with my smaller sized Sansa Clip from the same library.

  • 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
