So is this MuVo V100 (2GB) de

I bought two of my boys each a MuVo stick just after Christmas last year (in January 2007), the older boy a 2GB model and the younger a GB). I'm referring not to the MuVo2, but to the little jobs that are basically USB dri'ves with a AAA battery.
They've been terrific players for them, but the older boy's 2GB model seems to be dead. He replaced the battery, and I've tried replacing it again ... to no avail. Device will not power on. When I plug the device into a computer's USB port, nothing happens, even though it used to work like a charm.
Don't know why it died so suddenly, but I'm wondering if anyone here has any advice on what I might be able to do with it before I rush right out and grab another one. According to what I'm reading here, these little buggers don't seem to have recovery mode.
Thanks in advance,?-abs

Well, I tried the advice in the thread, and it *almost* works. The first time I plugged in the player, holding the button, I got the tell-tale "guh-GLUNK" sound XP plays when you plug in a USB device. It then installed and even gave me the pop-up: "STMP3500 installed and ready to use," (or whatever).
But it doesn't seem to want to *stay* installed. Nothing shows up in Device Manager or as a dri've in Explorer. Upon trying again, I can sometimes get it to recognize (with a "guh-GLUNK"), but it almost immediately UN-attaches itself (with the tell-tale reverse "GUH-glunk" sound).
I hate it, but I can't think of much else to do. I've tried a dozen times.

MUVO V100 2GB only accepting 1GB if mu

whats up with My Muvo V00 2gb?
it is only taking GB worth of data, on my MAC (itunes) or on MY pc, (drag and drop)
so far not impressed!?

A pain? The folders are for organization. Instead of for example having 400 files all in one folder, if you have 20 folders each having around 20 songs, it will be much easier to manage. This also makes the repeat folder a very useful tool. You can have folders based on artist, or based on time released, 70s, 80s, etc. , classical, Jazz, etc. Depending on which firmware you have, you could even have folders within folders, however if files are too deply nested, ie. folder in folders in folders, the player might not see them.

Lost CD of creative MuVo V100 2GB

I lost my CD of my MuVo V00 2GB. I need the Creative Media Explorer where you can transfer songs to the player and set the order of the songs. Is there a download for it's My firmware is .05.0e. I already looked here http://support.creative.com/Products...ame=MP3+Player but the software I need is not listed there.
Thanks in advance

Re: Lost CD of creative MuVo V00 2GB8 The software is at FileSavr file hosting.
This is the creative labs software for the Muvo mp3 player. This version will work for Windows XP. I did not upload these to infringe on any copyrights, I uploaded them so that people who have lost their Muvo software for XP can reclaim it. The version of the software on this site is for Vista only.
Here are the files:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/a0456f/n/muvo_exe
another version:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/a045...o_software_nbi
The first is a winraw file. Put it on your hard dri've, extract, and it should install. The second version is for folks who have nero. Download it, burn it onto a CD, then instal it from the CD. Either way, if anyone finds this useful, I strongly suggest you burn a copy and save it for yourself. The files will only stay on the site as long as people keep downloading them. Once the files are gone from the site, that's it. I will not upload them again.

Creative MuVo V100 2GB - USB 1.1 only!

I recently purchased a 2GB MuVo V00 player in the US. Although both Creative's website and the retail box claim it had USB 2.0 connectivity, when connected to my laptop (which is USB 2.0 enabled) it showed the speed of USB ., which is times slower! It take over hour to fill it up with songs or files. How can it be that a reputable company has false specifications claims everywhere on this product!

Hello everyoneHere's the message I just sent to Catherina about this lie on the V00 (usb 2.0)in red i put a new comment that is not in the original mail?Hello CatherinaI'm a happy user of the Creative Muvo N200 and I decided to buy a Muvo V00 2go to my girl friend ... but .... what a sad surprise when I saw the speed of the V00.
Don't lie to me, I saw all the posts on the Internet about this issue with NO answer of Creative [color="#ff0000"](except saying : "it's probably a computer problem, look at?your driver" and else?... I'm not a beginner on computers and I've got a? TX 52, Muvo N200 go, Muvo V200 256mo and I HAD NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH THEM on HP and Toshiba laptops except this V00!!!)
I think, as a represtentati've of Creative, you have to answer to everyone clearly about this factIf V00 is USB2 as Creative says, transfer must be quicker. For the same folder size (00mb for ex) it takes about 4.5x much more time to copy on a V00 than a V200 or N200.
That is really UNACCEPTABLELast thing, I don't see on the support the V00 product choice (only the v200). Why ?Thanx for your time and your answer to me and all the customersSincerely,M. PireddaMessage Edited by spiredda on 2-0-200708:49 AM

Is the Creative Zen Muvo V100 2gb mp3 player go

Well yeah I had a Rio Ce200 and 2 months after I got it something came on the screen that said upgrader on it and it never goes to the menu,just stays like that...
Found out later on a forum there were about 00-50 topics with people complaining of the same problem.
Company went out of buisness and I had a 90 day warrenty..sucks to be me.
Thinking about getting one.
A few questions...
.How is the sound quality compared to higher end mp3 players(Creatives,Rio's, Sony, etc....)
2.How is the warrenty, lets say it breaks in 6-2 months, will they send me a new one?
3.How is music organization handled? I used Mediamonkey on my old mp3 player.
4. Is it durable?
5. Does it has a sd card memory expansion slot?Message Edited by dbzzx on 0-29-200704:3 PM
Please anyone? I really need help...Message Edited by dbzzx on 0-29-200707:23 PM

I've had one for about a week, so no long term experience here. My only other experience is with the Muvo Micro N200 (same as the Zen Nano Plus, just a different name) and the Zen Micro. For my main uses (jogging, dancing) it's great. To answer your questions:. Sound quality is great, as?good as the Micro. With higher bitrate files (96+) and good earbuds, you can get excellent sound.2. I don't have the?warranty in front of me, so don't know?what it is. Got mine for $34, so not too worried about this.3. Music is organized by albums in folders, three?preassigned folders (A, B, and C) and the root folder.
You put albums in?whatever folder you choose, pretty easy to use for me.4. Durable? After one week it'sis, too soon to know for sure.
You unplug part of the unit from itself in order to plug it directly into USB port on computer, this seems like?a potential weak link, but?people who've had it'sfor a while say it hasn't been a problem. The design is very similar to my Muvo Micro?N200, which has been very durable. On Amazon one person describes running it through their washer and dryer, it still worked.5. No expansion slot. I'd suggest going to Amazon?and read reviews there, I think they'll be better balanced than anything you might read here. People who are unhappy with their player tend to show up here looking for answers, the people who are happy with it'sseem to silently enjoy it rather than log on here?just to praise it.

Muvo V100 slow trans

I just got this Muvo v00 2GB yesterday and i was disappointed of the transfer speeds. I bought this to upgrade to my Muvo TX FM GB which has a good transfer speed. Not sure if this is a problem with the unit i got but the usb is working like its a USB . rather than a 2.0.
Anybody know why? or is there a fix to this? Thanks in advance.

i had just about made up my mind to get a V00 for someone,
i saw the spec sheets on shops all say USB.,
so i come here to check its USB2,
i see this.. and oh no! this sinks it for me. what a shame.
Why would creative release a new larger capacity player now thats . !
It looks like the V00 and V200 are USB (probably not firmware fixable either), can someone please confirm,
then its back to the TX for me, which is a shame - i like the look of the V00 :/Message Edited by Smiff2 on -0-200603:0 PM

MuVo V100 crashes my

New in this forum.
It's been almost a year since I got my MuVo V00 (2Gb), it's been working great until today. It just stopped working, I thought it was the battery so I tried a fresh one but when I turned it on it just hangs in the "CREATIVE" window and doesn't go from there. I tried plug in it in my PC to reformat but when I try to open it from the dri've letter it crashes my PC, any action I tried gives the same result, even the safe hardware removal feature.
Any ideas, thanks for any help.
UPDATE: FIXED, I updated to firmware version .05.0 and that solved the problem. I guess the original firmware got corrupted somehow when the rechargable battery went dead.

Afterward, I connected it to my PC but it wasnt responding and the computer system told me that the windows was unable to save all the data for the player ( File H: ), and it showed?" Delayed write faillde, the data has been lost. Save the file somewhere else" on the computer. What is the solution to this ? Can someone help me out

Creative MuVo v100 battery cover

Hello,
I own a Creative MuVo v00 2GB mp3 player and it has worked fine for me for a few years. However some time ago I managed to drop the battery case cover and subsequently stepped on it. And naturally it broke a little bit. I had an earlier creative mp3 player (don't remember the name) which was a similar system of player module + battery module but the cover from that does not fit into this one. I have a few questions:
- Is it possible to get a new battery module from somewhere? I li've in Europe but any online stores around?
- Which creative player models have battery modules that are compabtible with MuVo v00 ?
(I could by a second hand player and regardless of the state of the player module, I could take the battery module for my machine)
Right now the player works fine but I dislike taping and retaping the battery cover back every time my batteries run out.
Best regards,
~skyde

MuVo V100 "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned&qu

My V00 freaked out yesterday when I plugged it into the USB port on my PC. The machine ended up freezing and I had to do a hard reboot. Post reboot XP gives the message "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned" and the player wasn't recognized. I did the system clean up and reboot recommended and the player itself is working normally again but XP still doesn't recognize the player. The V00 doesn't have any drivers I can locate so I'm stuck with a music library I can't update. I stopped at the office this morning and my laptop has the same issues. Aside from buying an IPod what else can I do. I've reinstalled the entire USB structure on my machine and all my other USB devices are recognized and working normally.

Try disconnecting the other USB items before connecting the player. Try connecting the player in a different USB slot. Connect the player directly to the USB slot, not to an extension cable or a hub.

MuVo v100 and subscription servi

I just received my muvov00 for Christmas and it's my first portable device, I love the way it sounds and it's ease of use. However, when looking for ways to download music off the internet, I find out that it is not compatible with ANY subscription service. This sucks! I'm sure I can find music around here and from friends but I really liked the idea of being able to download an assortment of songs whenever I want to.
Is there any way around this, something I'm missing?
Is this something that will change once the muvo v00 gets to be better known, or did I get the wrong mp3 player?
Thanks for any help!

brenda625,
MuvoV00 doesn't work with subscription music services at all.
If you are going to spend the large amount of money for a music "to go" subscription, why not buy an inexpensi've Creative Player that works with the service. I don't know where you li've, but on the US Creative Store/Savings Center site you can buy refurbished Zen V Plus players 2GB for $35.99US. I have been buying the 2GB Zen V Plus for family and friends?and they have been brand new and work perfectly. You get a three month warranty.
The Muvo V00 that you own is really good for audiobooks and music that you already have purchased. Another alternati've is to get music CDs from your library system, if you have one. Borrow music from your friends. There are a few Internet?sites that are legal and allow you to download music for free. CNet is one of the ones?that I use.

Muvo v100 - Help with fold

I cannot erase the folders on my Muvo V00 (brand new). It has?a Root folder, then off of that, Library A, Library B, Library C. I want to have nothing but folders with artist or CD names, like I had on my old Muvo TX FM. When I try to erase these folders, they reappear. Mine is the v00 2GB. Any help would be appreciated.

Wonderful. Can they be renamed or anything? This is a bit of a nuisance. I wish I'd known this before I bought this player.

Quick MuVo V100 Quest

Just a couple of quick questions about the MuVo V00 (the new 2gb one).
On the CNET review page it says this:
"Digital player playback modes: Repeat shuffle"
This player DOES use menus and stuff right? It's like an ipod shuffle that just plays things out of order, etc?
Also does anyone know if this player ONLY uses id3 tags? It says they're supported but personally I prefer folder browsing and I'm wondering if this player offers it.
Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated, I assure you.
Thanks!Message Edited by snaithbert on --200606:34 PM

It has a number of play modes including shuffle/random modes. If it is like the rest of the MuVo players then browsing is by folder using the Skip Folder function from the menu. ID3 tags are used for track title display. PB

Muvo V100 Won't Connect - How do I install the driver alone? Where on the disk is

First of all, I've read through the FAQ, etc., the Creative Knowledge Base, searched the forum, and read the manual, etc. and I cannot find an answer.
In short, all I want to do now is try installing the Muvo V00 driver alone to see if that fixes my problems with the PC not fully recognizing and communicating with the Muvo V00. And then maybe try using it on a friend's PC to see if it works. I'd have done that already except the friend li'ves quite some disctance. If that doesn't work, this thing is going back and I'm not sure I even want to try an exchange.
I'd be very appreciati've of any help you can provide. Thanks!
My tale of woe:
I have a Windows XP Home PC and I cannot get the PC to fully recognize the existence of the Muvo V00. I've installed and uninstalled the software (Creative Media Explorer and Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer and I guess the driver) several times and the PC doesn't recognize the existence of the Muvu V00. I follow the installation instructions exactly and it just doesn't work.
I have tried using the Muvo V00 after uninstalling the software, and the PC recognizes that a "mass storage device" is attached, but it won't provide a dri've letter until I try to "Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device". And during the Safely remove process, which strangely gives me an hourglass for many minutes, it finally runs the Autoplay routine, but that gives an hourglass and never finishes and I have to cancel it. And then the "Safely remove routine" finally comes back and safes it can't be safely removed, try later, even though no other applications are accessing the Muvo V00. Then, surprisingly, the PC displays a dri've letter for the USB Mass Storage Device (the Muvo V00), but when I try and access it, all I get is an hourglass.
By the way, I'm in Information Technology so I somewhat know what I'm doing. So far, tech support has been less than helpful and has only provided a link to the Knowledge Base!

I have the same problem with my new Muvo V00. Before installing, I tried turning off all antivirus and every program I could think to turn off that I usually have running. My computer refused to recognize the Muvo V00. I called customer service, they sent me directions to do a clean install. This involves editing the things that load with windows so that nothing interferes with the installation. I tried that. (Now I get a nice boot up message asking if I want to load windows or go to the Restore utility.)
I found information in the Creative knowledge base about permissions. So, tried editing the permissions to the USB and USBSTOR. After everything I tried, either my computer would recognize the Muvo for a few seconds and then forget it existed, or my computer acted like I hadn't installed it in the first place. I've gotten the dri've letter after one reboot and lost the whole thing on the next reboot. The Creative software either didn't find the Muvo, or if it did, it froze when I tried to access the device from the menu.
I've used restore points to revert my computer to before installation, and tried reinstalling. I tried updating my bios (which got it to recognize the Muvo for the longest time ... about an hour. Then, my computer froze.
I tried downloading the dri'ves for the NOMAD as was suggested here. But that didn't work either. First, I got the message that I had newer drivers on my machine and the whole installation program closed. (Uninstalling the drivers and using the downloaded ones didn't work either.)
The weirdest thing is that my friend's computer recognized the device immediately. AND my computer fully recognizes her Muvo TX--even the creative software recognizes it perfectly!!
I'm at a loss. If my friend wanted to trade devices, all would be well. But she loves her TX.
Before I realized that my friend's Muvo TX works perfectly, I was convinced that my Windows XP was corrupted or something. Apparently, it's not.
If anyone can give me any advice or help (there might be something out there that I haven't tried), I'd appreciate it. The thing is that the V00 was a gift. I'd hate to have to ask for the receipt to return it, but that's what I may end up having to do.
Good luck to all with similar problems.

Order of tracks in MuVo V100

My MuVo V00 currently plays the tracks of an album in alphabetical order, not in the order of the album. How do I change this? The tracks have been ripped by using MuVos own program.

I have a Zen NanoPlus, which I think uses the same folder format as a Muvo. You have to have your files labled with a track number, such as "0-Crush.wma". Again, I'm assuming the Muvo is similar to the Nano (it used to be pretty much identical). To fake a playlist, you do the same thing in appending the filename with an additional number, such as "0-04-Born in the USA.wma" . Creative used to have a utility that did this for you but I lost it long ago. You could drag the files around in a "playlist" and it would rename them for you, thereby keeping the order you wanted. Jump in here anybody on this one---my memory is failing. It was about 3 years ago I used that.
UPDATE---this was bugging me so I did a search. Apparently, the included Zen Media Explorer software contains this feature (although I use a version of that now and no longer recall this feature being available. I DID, however, find an old post and link by SSR about "Reorganize", a freeware application that looks as though it should solve this issue. The screenshot looks similar to an old Rio manager program I used to use for playlists on that device (before I gave that old Rio to my son as a mobile replacement for his Zen Micro---his HD crashed once and was repaired under extended warranty but he is now afraid of a hard-dri've based player---me too---my Zen Touch died last week for no apparent reason).
I now have my older NanoPlus and a brand-new Zen. I have to say I still like that little Nano, as you can't beat the convenience of a AAA battery when not home. I had a flight attendent comment on how small it was once. The biggest drawback, though, is the playlist issue. Maybe this "Reorganise" will solve that. Haven't tried it yet, but the download link is still there......http://www.oli'ver-frietsch.de/reorganize/index.php?lng=en

MuVo V100 Playing Downlo

I am having a problem with my daughter's MuVo V00. This is the second one that I have purchased and I have no problems with the first one. I download the songs into Windows Media Play and Sync them to the MP3. The songs show up in when I plug the MP3 into the PC and play them on Windows Media Player and they show up on My Computer, but I can't get the songs I synced to play when the MP3 is not plugged into the computer. Any advice?

Sounds a bit like my problem. I have downloaded an audio book from Net Library into Library A Folder on the MuVo V00 I just bought today. I see the title and author scrolling by on the screen, but there is no sound. The timer does not advance either.
Yes, the ear buds are plugged in and the volume is on medium.
(I heard the Welcome intro from Creative about 100 times already)
Anyone have any ideas?
