Question for Creative: MuVo Micro N200 - AC adapter accessorie

The MuVo Micro N200 is a great wearable audio player, and I am close to purchasing - BUT - there's one thing holding me back: There doesn't seem to be a way for me to use it as my regular jukebox at home, without having to connect it to a computer. What I'm looking for is a way to plug the MuVo to AC power so that I don't use the battery when at home. Is there such an accessory? Like a USB-to-AC charger cable? And while we're at it, why not a USB-to-DC cable, for the car?
Thanks for any insights

I just got my n200 gb, and love it except the lag between getting it and getting the rechargeable batteries to go with it (Thanks Amazon...). If I was near a pc to power it through usb, I wouldn't need an mp3 player, and since I am always near a cigarette lighter in the car or a power outlet, I have decided to jury-rig a power adapter to fit where the battery normally goes (don't try this at home, kids...). A little radioshack love and the mod will save me on recharging time with the batteries (800mah does last a ridiculously long time in the thing, but why bother when I'm near other power anyway) and I will wait out creative's next gen flash player.

Hi Damon,
That should be a standard USB to mini-USB cable (type A to mini B), any PC store should have those, and our online store has them too.

Creative Muvo Micro N200 h

I just bought a Muvo Micro N200 today. It can supposedly hold 20wma format songs. All my songs are wma format but I only have about 60 songs on the player and it says it is full. Can anyone help me? It says it holds more than that

The quoted number of songs assumes a recording rate of 64kbs, too low for quality sound. Sounds like your files might be recorded at 28 kbs. You could probably lower this to 96 kbs using Creative's software and still get very close to the same quality and increase the amount of music you can fit on your player.

Creative MuVo Micro N200 plug and play dri

Hi there! I am going to buy this cool mp3 player but just one thing, I want to make sure that this player really don't need a driver when you plug it on a PC. That would be cool especially when you are going to transfer your files on another PC and you don't have to install all the softwares/drivers. Please let me know. Thank you.

It only needs a driver for Windows 98SE. It doesn't need one for Windows Me, 2000 and XP.

Problem with MuVo Micro N200...please help

Hey there,
I recently purchased a Creative MuVo Micro N200 Mp3 Player with 52 memory. It was working perfectly until yesterday when i tried transfering a few mp3s into the player. I was prompted with a dialog box that read 'cannot create file'. Thinking that it had something to do with my computer and tried my player again on a friends laptop and the same error message popped up.After that,i went to www.creative.com where i downloaded another driver and a new firmware. The driver was installed successfully onto my PC.However, when i tried intalling the firmware into the player the following message appeared 'cannot write into device.device timeout' even though i followed every step that was on the site. I know that it has nothing to do with my player memory as there is about 80mb of memory storage left.
What is wrong with my player?What can i do?
Any help is deeply DEEPLY appreciated.
Denis

What state has it left your player in? Can you switch it on? Can you connect to it from your PC?
When you couldn't get any more files onto your player where were the files on it's Were they all in the root folder? There is a limitation to the FAT filesystem where you cannot put too many files or folders into the root folder. Create sub-folders and put your files in them.
Let us know answers to the above questions. If you can't connect to your player there are a few things we can try to get you back up and running.

Does the Creative Muvo Micro N200 works with Mac? Thanks

I have found a faq where it is said that the Mp3 player can be used with a Mac just for drag and drop files, but not to use the special software that comes with it. It just you think. Thank you

Muvo Micro N200 Random Shut

Hi I recently purchased a black Muvo Micro N200. It was working great for awhile, but suddenly it just started to shut off. Its random. Then like everyone else, it would shut off when i barely turned it on and see the display muvo n200. Im reformatting and going to install then new filmware. Hopefully this solves the problem. Im just mad at the fact that this problem exists. How can creative release a product that has these problems. How could they sell a product with this problem, did they rush it's Didnt they test it out? This problem doesnt seem to be rare, they should have encountered it. I just hope they are fixing this problem. If i had known this would happen i wouldnt have bought it.
-was frustrated now disapointed

I'm having the exact the same problem. I've been using mine with .WMA files for the last month and I've had no problem with it. Now that I've starting using .MP3 files I'm having this problem all the time. After studying the behaviour for awhile, I don't think it is as random as it appears. It is happening consistently with the same .MP3 files that I've ripped from CDs at 224khz. I don't have a problem with any 28khz files and I don't have a problem with the same songs ripped at 28khz. I'm off to the customer support page to make a warranty claim. I think that's the only way to get anyone's attention.

Can you recommend the MuVo Micro N200 512

aside from the zen micro, am also planning on getting one of these for gift giving to family members. please post your comments, recommendations, reviews of the MuVo Micro N200 52MB. thanks!

There is a known slight glitch in the N200, in that, for the 3 seconds when the backlight is on (say, when you press a button) you can hear a bit of a 'shh' noise. Apparently the level of the noise, or its being there at all, varies between individual players and what sort of headphones you go for. It's on mine, (black gb N200) but my plan from the start was to set the backlight to 'always off' as this saves batteries ( you can still read the screen, it just doesn't glow, in this setting). Even when it was on, it was for such a short amount of time, and so quiet, that it didn't bother me at all.
Setting this aside, I think that a gb N200 would be a great present.
Its main selling point, as far as I'm concerned, is that it's incredibly easy to use. You plug it in to the computer and save your songs onto it like you would save word files onto a floppy disc (remember them... ). As with a floppy disc, you organize the files into folders which you can name things like 'rock' 'classical' or give one an album name and stick all the tracks from an album into it.
The supplied software is logical, friendly and nice looking, but you don't have to use it to organize your files, the player can also be accessed as a UMS device - and of course this means that it's not just music files you can store on it.
Once you're out and about, it's child's play to select the folder you want to listen to, or you could just set it to 'random' if you'd prefer a surprise. You can also listen to a specific folder either in your set order, or listen to all the tracks within that folder randomly. The buttons and menus are logically set out and simple to get the hang of.
I have no complaints either about the sound, which is excellent as far as I'm concerned.
The player is also unbelievably tiny - the pictures do not do this justice! 'Cute' loving girls and 'gadget' loving boys will think this is amazing - I certainly do.
The FM radio is a nice touch, and I find reception to be pretty good, especially if I'm listening in the library (of course with low volume and closed earphones!) and so not moving about a lot. - the earphone cord acts as the antenna, so you don't want to be jostling it around. This is an arrangement shared by most mp3 players with an FM receiver
The battery life is better than certain other competitor'sand, for my amount of usage, really does seem to last forever.
I would definitely go for the gb, not the 52mb, as even someone who is not a huge music fan will appreciate the extra space.
Other features include voice recording, line in encoding, and recording of FM radio. While nice add ons, I would definitely say that if you want a voice recorder, buy a voice recorder etc, as these features are strictly little extras and are nowhere near as good quality as the players main purpose: - its mp3 and wma playback - which, as I have said, is excellent.
I think you can tell that I love my little player, but even I am aware that it has its flaws.
They don't matter to me, as the player does everything I want it to amazingly well, the question is: do they matter to you?
Hope that helps

PS (edit) - another plus is the fact that is flash memory based, which basically means that you can shake it around and there's nothing to rattle (or break!). Amazing if you're as clumsy as me.Message Edited by flaneur on 05-06-2005 :4 AM

MuVo Micro N200 1GB Disturbing noise when backlight

I have a very disturbing noise when the backlight is lit on my MuVo Micro N200? Is this normal?

Hi,
Very recently a noise, a very loud hissing sound is produced by my MuVo Micro N200 GB. I have this player since early in the beginning of the 4th quarter last year. Few weeks after a bought it, it will just flash "creative" and wont turn on. I returned it the vendor and they were able to fix it after 3 weeks. (Sorry for the long introduction)
Now after more than 6 mos. a very loud hissing sound is heard from it, you won't even hear the music, the recording is okay, the radio is okay only when you play MP3, you'll hear nothing but noise.
Sometimes when I turn it off and then on, it will disappear but then only after a few songs, it will start to hiss again. It's quite frustrating.

MuVo Micro N200 software to add

hello,
i am thinking about buying the MuVo Micro N200.
can people please give their opinions on the software to add mp3's to it's
i currently have a samsung yepp. i love the small size, and belt clip.
but the software sucks!
is this software easy to use? can you just move from hard dri've to player?
or do you need to make play lists, and move mp3's around, etc...
thanks

Hi,
Have a search around, I'm sure this is answered elsewhere too!
But basically your choices are:
) Drag & Drop from your operating system. The N200 appears in Win XP as a removable dri've and you can drag/copy/move/send files straight to it without needing any 3rd party software.
2) Creative MediaSource software with N200 plugin (if you own a Creative soundcard). Fine if you like Creative software, will do the job. It's a matter of personal preference whether you like using the Creative software or not - personally I don't, but it looks pretty full-featured to me.
3) Creative MuVo Media Explorer software (comes with the N200). Again, fine if you like Creative software, will do the job.
4) Other media players with portable device support. e.g. Winamp 5 with gUSB plugin (which displays all connected devices such as N200 in Media Library window & allows drag & drop)
Basically the software is neither a reason for or against buying an N200... you can either use the included software which will cover everything, or use your own, or use none. It's not really an issue... worth thinking about is the quality of the N200 itself (think backlight, clicks, etc which may/may not be fixed with firmware at the end of this month)

MUVO Micro N200 Proble

Can you please offer me some advice?
<SPAN class=copy>I Recei'ved my GB Muvo Micro N200 mp3 player on the 2nd July.
My issue: Transfer errors appeared with 394.3 MB of free space. I contacted Creative Labs support via email.
Their solution: Download new firmware upgrade and format Muvo N200. After doing this I couldn't transfer anything to my Muvo. I kept getting a transfer error message.
2nd email from Creative Support: I'm told to use MSCONFIG and carry out various actions. I then tried to transfer music via the accompanied software mediasource,this failed. I tried Windows media player and it worked the first time, but music fails to show up in media player.
Mediasource software fails to work properly (this came with the Muvo) and some song titles that display correctly to start with now end up with a title of "unknown" on the Muvo.
I'm waiting for more feed back from creative today (5/07/05). Creative support request email numbers are: (KMM67988292452L0KM) from 3/07/05 and (KMM68632452L0KM) from 4/07/05.
Is there anything I can do?

I'm not sure if this was causing balan's problem - it depends on what his error message was while he tried to transfer files. If this was the cause then he should create sub-folders off of the root folder and put his files in them.

Muvo micro n200 reconnu par windows xp uniquement en tant qu'administrat

bonjour,
j'ai un muvo micro n200 52 Mo - software .0.02e - que je connecte sur un pc avec windows xp pro version 2002 service pack .
pour des raisons de s?curit's, j'ai un compte administrateur sur mon pc que je suis seul ? utiliser, les autres membres de ma famille se connectent sur le pc comme utilisateur standard.
le lecteur mp3 est bien reconnu par windows, par creative media explorer et par mediasource organizer lorsque je suis connect? comme administrateur.
mais lorsque l'on se connecte comme utilisateur standard, le lecteur mp3 est consid?r? comme disque amovible et creative media explorer nous informe qu'aucun p?riph?rique n'est connect?.
pour le service support de creative ce ph?nom?ne est normal, c'est une caract?ristique de windows.
existe-t'il une solution pour que le lecteur mp3 soit reconnu comme tel lorsqu'on est connect? comme utilisateur standard sous windows xp ?
merci.

bonjour SSR,
Merci d'avoir r?pondu ? ma demande. Je suis un peu d?u par son contenu, mais il a le m?rite d'?tre clair et de confirmer h?las ce que je craignais. J'esp?re que ce probl?me sera corrig? dans le futur par un software.

Question for Creative support t

Hello,
I want to buy Zen Sleek Photo and i got few questions:
. Do i need to install driver/program on Windows XP PCs in order to use it as portable HD dri've or it's Plug&And play like Disk on Key?
2. Can I copy MP3 files using Windows Explorer drag&drop *without installing any programs or drivers* or i have to use Windows Media Player + install proprietary driver?
3. Can i browse copied MP3 files by directory? I keep each album in its own directory. I want to keep it the same way on player!
4. Can I mark MP3 files and create/manage playlists in the player? What about erasing files?
5. Any plans for adding text reading option?

I'm not from support but I hope I can answer some of your questions
) The Zen Sleek Photo is 'plug and play' for music and photos (no drivers are needed). To transfer other documents that do not appear on the player (i.e. to use the player as a portable hard dri've), you can partition up to 6 GB for this purpose. This section of the player's dri've will appear as a removable disk dri've in Windows Explorer.
2) You can drag and drop all files via Windows Explorer without drivers. Or you can use Creative Media Source Organiser or WMP 0, again without drivers.
3) You cannot browse by directory on the player itself. The Zen Sleek Photo uses the 'search by ID3 tag' menu system (i.e. by Album/Artist/Genre), developed by Creative and used by most other players also. You can however store your player's files in folders, but be aware that these are only viewable/searchable via a PC in Windows Explorer or Mediasource, and cannot be viewed on the player itself. The titles of these folders do not have to bear any relation to the Album/Artist/Genre tag information. Also be aware that due to an annoying limitation of Microsoft's Media Transfer Protocol (which the Zen Sleek Photo comforms to), you cannot move files between folders on the player. You can only Create/Delete folders and add new tracks/delete tracks. If this annoys you, you can just keep your tracks in one folder or not create folders at all.
4) You can create, name, add to, delete and remove tracks from playlists on the go. There is a guide on how to do this for the Zen Micro at the top of this forum: http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=0736 The process for the Zen Sleek Photo is very similar. Some advanced features such as 'Smart Playlists' can only be accessed via a PC. The Sleek Photo has a bookmarking facility for up to 0 audio tracks. Erasing files can be done easily when the track/photo is selected or is playing in the 'Now Playing' area. Just go to the 'options' button and click 'delete track'. You can also erase Artists, Albums and Genres.
5) There is a petition to ask Creative to do this for their players: http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=5844

1GB sd card for Creative Muvo Sport C100 questi

I want to get a GB sd card for a Creative Muvo Sport C00. I was thinking of getting it from amazon. Can anyone tell me
)the name of ones that will works with the Creative Muvo Sport C00.
2)the best one I should get (or should I just get the cheapest).
Thanks

It sounds like something got corrupted in the memory. I would reformat and transfer the music again. Won't take long ... 256MB with 50-ish tracks at USB2 speeds is quick.
