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.

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) (23.98 MB)
Filename: CMS_PCMTP_LB__00_8.exe

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
[size="3" color="#0033ff">ModVer: 2.2.5.0 Offset: 00098c[size="">
?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. 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.- (Depending on your product and firmware)
For non-PlaysForSure Zen series: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:

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.

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

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!!

Unfortunately not since the Zen has broken whilst I am travelling. Is the Nomad Explorer possible to download as Freeware? If so I will give that a shot. Thanks for the reply.
EDIT: I downloaded a trial version of "Notmad Explorer" and I can now see 2590 Data Files. Once I download a full version, is it simple to just conver Data Files into Audio Files?
Thanks so much for even getting me to this stage! I've spent weeks downloading all sorts.

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
Name : vlc
<SNIP>
Optional Deps : avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol [installed]
<SNIP SOME MORE>
projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin
libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output [installed]

Please assist with Creative MediaSource installat

I'm installing the Creative MediaSource software for my new NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra 40GB and I've been given the option of installing any or all of the following components:
- Creative MediaSource Nomad 2/3/Zen Plugin
- Creative MediaSource Jukebox Plugin
- Creative MediaSource MuVo Plugin
- Creative MediaSource II / MG Plugin
- Creative MediaSource Player Skin Pack
It seems to me that some of these are unnecessary in my case. Can anyone suggest which of those options are necessary for proper use with my player?
Thanks for the guidance!

Those plugins are there only if you have any of the other players listed so that Creative Mediasource will recognize them when they are being plugged into your computer. But you still probably need to install their drivers. As long as you have the drivers to recognize your Xtra in Windows, then Creative Mediasource should have no problem syncing with your Xtra.

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.

Problems with creative zen mi

I've recently started having problems with my creative zen micro. It will connect to the computer to charge and as a removable disk but wont connect to the computer to let me put anymore music on it/take music off etc. It just doesn't register it. Before I could connect it to the computer and it would automatically bring up creative mediasource but it wont do that and when i click on creative mediasource it doesnt register that my zen is connected at all ! ! !
Can anybody help me please

Have you tried going into Device Manager and updating the driver for the Micro? You don't actually have to install a driver update, you can just elect to use the driver that is already installed, and Windows will attempt to refresh the pairing between the installed driver and your specific player.
