Q: Zen Vision M Navigation Quest

Hi there!
I am about to buy a Zen Vision M mp3 player. There is one single issue which is extremely important to me but everyone using such a player should be able to answer it easily.
So, I have a huge collection of classical music. The normal id3 navigation using artist and album is of no use here (Think of a structure such as Mozart --> Piano Sonatas --> Sonate 2 --> Adagio). So I used to id 3 tag genre as a substitute for the composer of a work. My question would now be whether or not it's possible to access music on player in exactly this order: genre --> album --> artist --> title? Thank you very much for your help indeed!

If i understand what u are asking, what you have to do is press the 'Play/Pause' button when you have highlighted the Artist (in the long list of artists.). This will play all of that artists tracks in alphabetical order.

Zen Vision:M Warranty questi

I got a ZVM (30 GB) and the extended one year 2 years of coverage. If my HDD fails in a year and a half, what will happen? I'm assuming there will be some costs like shipping, but will I get a new ZVM? Or will they just fix it's What if a newer player comes out by then under the price i paid for my zen?
Also, how reliable/helpful is the creative tech support usually?

Even i wanted to know the same thing.. I'm facing troubles with my Vision M's display. Just bought it a month ago. I'll soon request the RMA to have it repaired/replaced. If my player is found to have technical glitches then will i be eligible for a replacement...and if yes will it be with a new player or will it be some earlier returned and repaired product...

Zen Vision:M Navigation questio

Is there an option like "All tracks"just like on iPod when clicked to an artist that I can't see, or isn't there.
Yes there is, when I press options button and select view tracks (or something like that) but it isn't just useful while trying to access a song you don't know the album of.
And on some songs that they don't have album, instead of being listed under Unknown album, they are just not listed unless I select that "view tracks" option.
Can't zen be like:
| All tracks |
|Album |
|Album 2 |

Creative Zen Vision 30GB - How to set IR Remote ON with Navigation keys not working in the play

I have Creative Zen Vision 30GB player. Within a month of buying, its navigation keys stopped working. I took it to the customer service of store where I bought it and they fixed it (their solution was to make firmware update, even though I do not understand how come that can fix this issue). Anyways after another 5 months of not so often use, the same problem returned (key pad stopped working and without it this player is useless). I sent it to Creative and they returned it saying that as it has few scratches on the edges, they believe it has been hit. I never dropped the player and these are normal scratches at the end if you do not use any skin (which I could never find for this player). Btw from my other friend's experiences, Creative always does like this, never considered warranty (so beware!). Anyways now the problem is that I have IR remote for Zen vision but it can not work till IR Remote setting in System->Player Settings is switched ON. And this can not be done as the navigation keys are not working. So please please suggest me some other way if anybody of you know to enable this setting through software. Otherwise this costly player is just a 30GB harddisk for me

Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

Zen Vision: M Voice recorder feature for school quest

Hello guys. I am very close to purchasing a Zen Vision: M 30GB MP3 Player.
My main concern is with the Voice Recording function since i wish to record
school lectures.
Will anyone who owns one of these or has direct information, please discuss this with me?
] How clear are the recordings? I'm planning to record 2-3 hour lectures at a time
2] I've been hearing there is a faint noise due to the hard-disk of the unit, does it present an issue?
3] How is the battery life, in terms of recording?
Any additional information you have dealing with recording, will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
~Dimitriy

Go to "Music Library" then select "Artists" and to your desired artist.

Zen Vision M Power Adapter questi

I have a Zen Micro with the USB power adapter, i.e., the one that has an AC connection on one end a mini usb connection on the other. Can I use this to recharge a Zen Vision M?
Thanks,Mark

Zen Vision:M power adapter specs: input 00-240VAC ~ 50-60 hz .3 Amps
Output : 5V 000 mA
so in order for the micro charger to work it has to have an output of 5v and i think 500 mA wil lcharg eit but itl take the same amount of time to charge as the usb way will. not sure thoug. someone correct me?

Zen Vision questi

These are probably stupid questions, but since I'm not tech savvy, I just wanted to make sure.
I'm planning on getting a Creative Vision: M. Just wondering though, do I need to by a power adapter, or can I charge it via computer with the wire that comes in the box?
Also, a Canadian web site here has two products listed: Creative Zen Micro Vision:M 30GB Photo MP3 Player and Creative Zen Vision: M 30GB MP3 & Video Player. The info on each page says they have the same specs, but the latter is $30 more.
Are they really the same product?
Thank you for any help you can give me!

they are really the same product.
about your question on charging, the player itself will charge when you plugged it on the usb port while doing the updloads.

Zen vision menu quest

alright you know on the ipod you click on artist it shows you a list of the songs by the artist.......on the zen vision:m it gives u a list of the albums. Is there a way to click on the artist and give you a list of the songs instead of albums? other than making all your songs not in seperate albums i dunno if that even works

Try "menu"..."Music Library"....."Artists".."scroll to the artist you want"...."view tracks" . Is this what you wanted to do? All the tracks show up for me when I do this.

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 zen vision navigat

Creative zen vision

problem: i cant use my navigation buttons (so buttons on right side of my zen vision)
and when i remove battery it doesnt help instal new firmware neither go in recover mode.. its working only thing... navigation doesnt work so useless...
so basicly everything worx i guess only my navigation doesnt so i cant do anyting atm
i have read faq and searched forum but nothing specifik for this problem

That sounds like an electrical or electomechanical problem with the player. Since the Zen Vision has been long since discontinued, you probably can't get Creative to repair it, but you might want to seek out some of the third party repair businesses that might be able to restore it to original functionality.

Jammin72, don't forget that it is the Apple iPod which has "copied" Creative Zen's style of navigation of tracks in the player. Creative has a patent on this, even before Apple released its product.
True... There will always be some level of imitation of successful implementations of products but even then the iPod was forward thinking in it's design of the player.
I think Creative did a nice job with going with the Touch Pad interface and player add-ons as well as allowing the unit to work with more 3rd Party software.
This phsical and functional design change away from thier own stylistic vision to one that is obviously an iPod clone is just a bit dissapointing. Gi've us a NEW player on that is distincti've in it's own right, not one that's closer to what already exists. I would have much rather the unit look like the Zen or a large Micro and offer these features. I mean c'mon you replace the touch pad with a click wheel and from the front you would never know it's from a different company.
PS... That's not to say that I wouldn't be all over it when they come out with a 60 or 80 Gig model. Message Edited by Jammin72 on 2-08-2005 05:8 PM

Help with Creative Zen Vision:m navigat

Hello, I am thrilled to get my new creative zen vision:m player. However, I am confused by the navigation buttons. How do I return to the main menu of the player (the one that contains, music, videos, fm, system etc. sub menus) by a single click?
I am also not sure about the function of the two buttons on the sides of the touch pad.
Can anyone please clarify?
Thanks,

Press and hold the Menu/Back button to return to the main menu. The two buttons to the side of the touchpad are Previous/Rewind and Next/Fast.
