Problem With Mediasource Softw

Hi - I have just puchased a Zen Touch & I'm having problems with the Mediasource software & I wondered if anyone would be able to help.
When trying to play cd's the sound distorts & breaks up. I've tried ripping, but the converted files have the same problem, the music distorts, breaks up & hisses which is preventing me from transferring anything to the player. I have tried installing the latest version of the software & have also uninstalled other CD writer software just in case that was creating some sort of conflict. Playback & recording using Realplayer 0 seems to work fine but I would like to use Mediasource if possible so I can save the files at a higher quality.
Hope someone can help..
Many Thanks.

Many thanks for that. I have tried several cd's though & the problem isn't to do with scratches as I don't get the problem with Realplayer. Also I'd rather not have to pay for encoding software when I should be able to use the software provided with the player. It's possible I'm just overlooking some settings in the software that are causing the problem but I've played around with them & haven't managed to solve it yet.
Thanks for your help anyway.

New problem with MediaSource please h

For some reason Creative MediaSource Organize cant detect my MicroPhoto. WM0 and Zen MicroPhoto Media Explore both detect it but Creative MediaSource Organize it doesnt show up. I have Enable Detector check( its set at default). It was finding it before and I havent changed any setttings
Any idea how to fix this probelm.

Problems with Mediasou

I have been having huge problems with MediaSource ever since I bought by Zen Touch. For some reason, this software slows my computer down to an extreme level, including not allowing me to use some programs (including WMP 0) and forces me to restart. This happens EVERY time I try to start MediaSource. Another big problem is that even when I try to start MediaSource, most times it won't even open! And if it does open, I can't get it to recognize my player. I have tried all the upgrades that are on the site (which made these problems happen on an even BIGGER scale). I also tried to uninstall everything then reinstall everything back to original fuctionality without the upgrades (although these problems have happened from the very beginning) and it still will not recognize the player and the software seems even worse!
Is anyone else having these problems where Mediasource slows the computer functionality? I mean a major hit (even though it says only 5% CPU Usage in taskbar) that will slow everything. Is there a way to fix this, or is Mediasource just that bad? After reading some of the comments, it seems that people seem to be ok. Why am I getting hit so bad? Is there an alternati've I can use to Mediasource (for this is making me want to throw the Touch away and buy an ipod, the ease of use functionality is looking better and better for the price the longer I spend trying to figure out how to USE the software)?

bufu3284, what is the problem you that faced when transferring songs from your Zen Micro to your PC? By the way, have you:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- (Depending on your firmware)
Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.

Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

Hello Creative Users,
recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi everyone,
as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
properties.
Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
Now you should be ok and able to install.
Regards
Rolf

Problems with Nomad Jukebox Zen and Mediasource - Please he

Hi,
I own a Nomad Jukebox Zen NX, and I'm having problems with Creative Mediasource seeing the device. Everything has been working fine for a while; I have been able to upload songs from my Zen to my PC and download songs from my PC to my Zen. However, when I tried plugging in my Zen today, the computer did the normal "boop-beep" signaling that the device had been plugged in. However, when I went into Creative Mediasource to download some songs to my Zen, the Zen did not come up under the "Sources" menu, on the upper left, where it usually does.
I exited Mediasource went into "My Computer" on my desktop and, sure enough, the Zen was there under "Audio Devices," and when I double clicked on the icon, it brought showed all of the music files I have on my Zen. This shows that my computer does indeed see the Zen, but Mediasource doesn't?
Any ideas?
All help is very much appreciated,
Jason

Your MediaSource plugin of the MP3 player may have been uninstalled. Here is what you should do:

- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.

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!!!

Fixing the problem with the Device Not Recongized by WMP and Mediasource problem with MTP devi

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!!! I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER FAILED SOLUTIONS BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH MY WHOLE POST TO MAKE IT WORK!!!TRUST ME!!!
ok, now I read this a billion times, and felt that I was the only idiot that had a "bad" computer that didn't allow me to use my Zen mtp device... but it turns out I was more idiotic than I thought. I hope this helps those who have the same problem I had...here goes...
When you go to the Creative Labs website, go to Support, then Knowledge Base, then go to the MP3 players picture in the PRODUCT CATEGORY and click on it. You need to follow the steps that are described on the SID0053 Product Article. Then click on the Editing the System Registry link towards the bottom and it will tell you what to do...BUT there is something that I never ever did right and I bet lots of other folks didn't do right either. Once you are in the USB Properties seccion of the registry, YOU ACTUALY HAVE TO ADD THE WORD "EVERYONE" INTO THE ALLOWED SECCION!!! Not just because it says "Administrators" and what not means that EVERYONE IS ALLOWED, allow the word "everyone"thne click OK. Now, I did this with my Zen Touch on and plugged into the USB port and without the word DOCKED on it, as it wouldn't dock for me before this. that's it... hope it works for you, if it does then almost instantly the word DOCKED should appear on your MP3 player's Display. Hope that everyone has the same luck as I did. if not, I'll pray for you, I know how frustrating this problem is because I delt with it for toooooo long.

I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
2) Select "Properties"
3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually is doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

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.
Thanks.

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 plugin .0.05 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.

Problems with audigy 4 softw

hi ^^
i have a problem with the software of my audigy 4 pro
the programs don?t start because of a strange error:
"Das von dieser Anwendung unterst?tzte Audioger?t wurde nicht gefunden."
in english:
"The audio device supported by this application was not found."
what causes this problem?
what can i do?

An installation error causes this problem which in the first instance is addressed by ensuring that you have disabled the onboard audio. If this does not work in the second instance you will need to uninstall the card as follows:
/ Uninstall software and drivers either, through control panel or the installation CD
2/ Move the card to PCI slot 3 (if not already there)
3/ Manually remove registry entries as follows:
. Delete the files from "\Creative".
2. Delete the following registry node from the registry
(a) HKLM\Software\Creative Tech\Software Installed
(b) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\5CDDF96A- BC34-4D72-9ABA-EFFF0C39977
4/ Reinstal the software and drivers.
In the third instance we wait to see first.

Zen V 8Gb locks up with MediaSource 5, no longer recognized by

I have an 8G Zen V which I sync using a computer running Windows XP.
I was transferring a file from MediaSource 5 to my 8G Zen V when I noticed that the current file had simply stopped transferring stuck at %. I unplugged the Zen, but instead of returning to the regular play screen it was stuck at the Docking screen. I found a pin and reset the Zen. When I attempted to plug it back into my computer it was not recognized, so I restarted the machine -- still not recognized! When I opened Device Manager the Zen was displayed with an exclamation point surrounded by a yellow circle, an indication that there was trouble with the driver. I attempted to have the OS update the driver, but the operation failed. I ended up restoring the entire OS to an earlier state.
I've concluded that MTP is absolute crap -- this is the second player I've experienced problems with MS's garbage protocol. On a completely different machine, with a different brand of MP3 I could never get MicroCrap to recognize the device as an MTP device, and thus lost out on some of the features for that device that were MTP specific. What happened to the days when you could just drag and drop files onto your device like a hard-dri've and be good to go?
Any other nightmare stories out there?

You said "I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style"
- Did you try another cable?
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Sorry about this, but what do you mean by *rescue mode*? and how do i start it up in it's I'm new to all this :P
There is an FAQ on the topic. let me qoute from Cat, the mod.
"Ensure that the Jukebox Zen is turned off.
Hold down the Play/Pause button and insert a paper clip into the Reset hole on the Jukebox Zen.
Remove the paper clip from the Reset hole.
The Jukebox Zen will enter the Recovery (Rescue) Mode (release the play/pause button) and the following options will be displayed:
).Clean Up (Performs a disk scan on the players harddisk)
2).Format All (Formats the players harddisk - Note: all contents will be lost)
3).Reload OS (Reloads the Operating System on the Jukebox. Note: Reloading your OS, will not effect the contents of the files stored on your Jukebox Zen)
4).Reboot (Reboots the device). "
Not really sure what the reset hole is beacuse I don't own a jukebox Zen (Creative Zen Firewire / USB 2.0 / Zen NX / Zen Xtra / Zen Touch) Message Edited by Aaron-XP on 06-04-2005 0:4 AM

Problems with seeing jukebox in

I have done the clean up... And it has deleted my all tracks! Fortunatelly it was only classical samples but I wanted to copy them on my hard disk...
Cleanup shouldn't delete the tracks did you do format by mistake? Either way the samples cannot be copied to the hard disk as they are locked.
This player has never worked - it is completely new.
Yes, MediaSource works.
Can you connect to the player with MediaSource? And if not, do you have the latest version of MediaSource and the MediaSource Type 2 plugin?
What is Device Manager?
Windows Device Manager, under System properties.
P.S. - I have tried everything on the another PC too, but I have the same problem.
This doesn't bode well, this suggests there's a problem with the player.
There's lots more connection advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net, although you've tried some of it.
The problem is that connection issues can be caused by so many things including problems with the player, the cable, the USB on the PC, driver or software issues on the PC... it's tricky to troubleshoot over a web board.
