The biggest annoying drawback of ZEN Nano P

I'm very disappointed after few months of using ZEN Nano Plus player.
is that it don't display artist from ID3 tag, but only title from each track.
I'm sure that this bug, is not a such big problem to fix in the firmware by the Creative Developers.
Big request from me to Developers, please fix it!

"I too am dissapointed with my (mega expensi've) Zen Nano Plus. I don't like the fact that I can't navigate/ skip folders (especially as there are cheapers ones on the market that do allow this). So if I want to listen to song 9998, I have to navigate from song through to 9997 to get to the one song?I want to listen to (as my music collection is very big). Please developers can you release a firmware update to fix this?" Instead of having 400 files in one folder, you could for example have 20 folders with 20 files in each, or perhaps 4 folders that each have around ten folders in them which each have around 0 folders in them. i doubt there will be any more firmware updates for the Nano Plus since it appears to be discontinued. The small screen of the Nano Plus limits flexibility of navigation.

I've lost the battery lid of my ZEN NANO PL

I've lost the battery lid of my ZEN NANO PLUS (black). There's a way to have it's I li've in Pisa (ITALY) and the shop where i bought the MP3Player (MEDIA WORLD) said me that thay have no a direct contact with you.
I very care about it cause it was a present.
Thanks for the answer.

Ho perso il coperchietto della batteria del mio ZEN NANO PLUS nero.
C'? un modo per averlo? Vivo a PISA e il negozio dove l'ho comprato (Media World) mi ha detto che non ha un contatto diretto con voi. Ci terrei molto a trovarlo dato che il lettore era un regalo. Grazie.

If you have broken two?covers, then I suppect you are a hard user.
Yes I am using players very often. I am listening daily?radio shows for a few hours and then I?am writing analysis and reviews of those shows.
If careful, they don't break. We have six of them here at my house?with no cover?breakage. The only one I gave as a gift, now has a broken tab. That owner just jamed the cover in place, so it was no surprise when it broke.
I think I am using the player normal and in daily situation - walking, in the bus etc... I have been able to find many examples of broken lid for Nano Plus that are available here:

Don't think that Creative is going to redesign the cover at this late date.
Well I didn't mean in the sense of re-design but in a sense of a new model that will upgrade Nano Plus. If new model will have better battery lid I would immediately transfer to another new and fresh model.
What is the current status of Nano Plus anyway? Has that model been replaced by any other new-upgraded model in the mean time?

Will Zencast Organiser support the Zen Nano Plus in the futu

I would like to know whether a future release of Zencast Organiser will support the Zen Nano Plus and similar players in Zencast Transfer. Or is this only possible for MTP players?Also items from a particular channel need to be played back on players?(normal play mode) by date (oldest first) and not alphanumerically by file name, or at least for this option to be introduced. I like to hear my podcasts in date order. Surely this makes sense and wouldn't be too difficult to introduce into Zencast transfer?

I have the same problem with my Zen Nano Plus gb player, only it shows up under "Other Devices"

Problem with zen-nano-plus!! please help

i have the zen-nano-plus 52mb. and i try to update the firmware with latest version but i don't delete the music files in it.
i have started the instalation and the program asked me to delete the files on zen. (i didn't care keeping the files, so i continue the instalation)
when the program began to delete the files, after in few seconds i received an error messege from windowsoperating system reported error. the limit time on semaphore it's over.) now i have an 0.00.00 firmware version and i can't use the zen-nano because it's not starting. i have tried with the recovery tool but same situation it happend again. please help me if anybody knows something!!!!

Go to Creative.com and click the Support link. Look for the firmware driver for your Zen Nano and follow the directions. I had to do this to fix my Zen Nano Plus, because it had the exact same problem that yours had.
Good luck!

Got my Zen Nano P

Some days ago i bought a Zen Nano Plus. I am very happy with the player but i have one question. I cant find out how to choose a song, scrolling through folders that is. Is it not possible?

Some days ago i bought a Zen Nano Plus. I am very happy with the player but i have one question. I cant find out how to choose a song, scrolling through folders that is. Is it not possible?Press the gray button to access the menu. Scroll to 'Skip folder' and press the gray button again.You should be able to scroll through your folders. When you find the one you want press the gray button again and Zen Nano Plus will play the songs in that folder. You can also scroll through the songs in that folder by rotating the gray button up or down.

Zen Nano Plus Battery co

I've just broken the battery cover on my Zen Nano Plus and customer support say they haven't got any replacements available. They suggested I did a web search to try and find one!?Does anyone know of an source for the battery covers? I also wondered if contacting support in another region (I'm in the UK and receivedthe reply from European support)? might be worthwhile - or possible. Thanks?Ian

Don't believe the last post about getting a replacement battery door. I bought three?Nano Plus's?about 6 months ago and the tab on one of the battery doors bent and finally broke off. Not only don't they have blue ones anymore, but they want $6 for a door and $6 dollars to put it in the mail. (They don't consider poor design a defect.)Message Edited by jcpny on 09-24-20070:42 PM

Unhappy with max volume level of ZEN NANO P

Does anyone know how I can increase the volume level of my Zen Nano Plus.
At the moment it goes to 25, but it is still quite low.
Is it something to do with the way the mp3s are ripped or can I change something on my MP3 player?
Thanks for your help!
Neil

As I stated in my earlier post, I don't have a Zen Nano Plus - I have a Zen Vision:M. Replacing the EU firmware with the US version has worked in this case - as it also did with my previous player (a 4GB MuVo^2). It has also worked with my friend's Zen Sleek Photo.
There is no real reason why the firmware will not work, as the player's hardware is the same in both territories. Therefore, I can only put the problem down to a problem with the firmware update.
Try replacing the battery with a fresh one (to ensure there is power) and follow the instructions on the <a href=http://us.creative.com/support/kb target=_blank>Creative KnowledgeBase[/url] for updating the firmware, as there is a recovery procedure outlined.
The Solution ID is 265 - you can also find it as number 7 on the 8 most common solutions after selecting the Zen Nano Plus from the list ("Updating firmware for MuVo N200 or Zen Nano Plus"). You will need to redownload the firmware updater program from the Creative US website if you have deleted it.Message Edited by Lokiz0r on 07-2-2006 0:03 PM

Problems running creative zen nano plus and nomad muvo on same compu

We have 2 nomad muvo mp3 players and now a zen nano plus .Have had constant problems with the media organiser .
Installed zen nano plus and selected enable smart fit to get maximum amount of songs and it worked fine but as soon as we tried to install software for the 2 nomad players it would not work smart fit for any of them.
Uninstalled everything and got the zen software in and it was running ok but then seemed to have problems and although smart fit was enabled it just copied files as the original mp3.
It then fatally crashed yesterday and I am awaiting a replacement as I had only had it for 2 days.
Is it possible to run all 3 and to be able to use smart fit on all 3 players or am I better off having just one working and using the file converter for the other 2.

<FONT face=Helv size=2>
Make sure that you have installed the MediaSource plugin for MuVo in order to get SmartFit You have to access SmartFit via the MuVo node of the Sources window in MediaSource. You won't see SmartFit if you access your MuVo via the My Computer node of the Sources window in MediaSource..
Here is what you should do to get the latest MediaSource software:

- (Depending on your firmware)

I have the exact issue. I am trying to load the bible on to a zen nano plus and after much stilly behavior came to search why...
Its ~500 or so meg but 66 folders, 89 files total.
Does anyone know of a small mp3 player that can handle this? I really love the nano plus but that was the main issue of buying and if it cannot handle that it will be a gift for a kid somewhere
Can anyone tell me if Creative Zen V GB can hold 200 files or recommend one that can?Message Edited by docster on -08-200608:58 AM

I sync'd over 60 songs with 45 albumn title. My Nano Plus shows only 29 titles and 00 songs. If I check to see what is on my E dri'ves, it shows all 45. You can play all the songs with Windows Media Player. Thanks!

What's wrong with the Zen Nano pl

I've been looking around for the MP3 player that will suit my needs.
The key features I need are...
. Above average sound quality.
2. Flash based.
3. Small. Can accompany me anywhere with ease.
4. User replaceable battery. (after few years, built-in battery will die. sending to service center for replacement is a pain in my country)
5. The screen that let me navigate through my music files.
I've been deciding between the iPod nano and Mobiblu DAH-500i(Currently I've not enough money for the iPod nano though.). But for some reason I just want to check creative website. My last creative product was back then...... the first generation Creative Nomad Jukebox 6GB.
And I found this one, the Zen nano & Zen nano plus. This player meets all my requirements. I quickly browse CNET and PCMAG.com for the reviews of this product. Yes, they say good things about it. But the rating is somewhat low compared to other models out there. PCmag give it 3.5/5. And Cnet doesn't even have a full review for it.(only 'preview' available.)
I'm not sure if I can think this way but after reading through the 'features' page, I think this product just simply 'SHOULD BE MORE POPULAR'. It's so perfect. It fills all the holes I have in my mind about iPod nano(no drag and drop) and DAH-500i(battery life). I'm not interest in FM radio though.
So I'm starting to wonder if there's some hidden flaws about it's Forexample, is it only compatible with AAA alkaline battery but not the rechargeable AAA Ni-MH or Ni-CD battery? This thing is build of very cheap plastic? etc...
Question # Please let me know what is the 'bad' point of Zen nano/ Zen nano plus. Because I really can't find it.
Question #2 Is there a hole on the device where I can atach a lanyard?
Thank you.

As said above, the N200 is the exact same (with some software exceptions and maybe the odd change) as the Nano Plus.
The plastic the player is made out of can be quite fragile (I've got a crack in the bottom of my player) - but it's not so fragile as the Ipod Nano seems to be (it's meant to be a magnet to scratches), it's a bit of a cheap plastic, but I'm not sure the extent of how fragile it is, though you can't literally snap it in half.
You will need to reload the firmware every so often, if you're lucky, it might be every few months, some have to do it every few weeks (It could be the luck of the draw, some people might have faulty products, but it is something that needs to be done). This usually is the fix for any random problem with the player (at least it's not always back to Creative for repair)
The Line in is pretty shoddy, don't use that. (They might have fixed it in the later versions of the firmware, not in .2)
The sound quality is well, as good as you can expect I suppose, it's not the worst thing in the world, but testing it against my cousin's Ipod Photo (I know it's not exactly a big comparrison), there's no or very little difference.
The battery is user changable, AAA batteries. There have been some cases with some rechargeables not working - that could just be the luck of the draw, or just a incompatability issue, like anything that uses batteries. However, most rechargeables should work with the player well. (I'm using rechargeables as well)
There is a hole for the laynard around the back of the player - yet I remember the hole on a user's player had broken. In Asia, the player is sold with the laynard, whereas in North America and Europe, it comes with an arm band and a rubber cover with a plastic belt clip.
The backlit buzz as mentioned above is also a problem, though on the Cnet Asia review for the N200, the claimed it wasn't audiable during music playback. Though how much it annoys you can depend on you, it's like some people can sleep with World War 3 outside, some can only sleep in perfect silence.
I'm sure there will be people with horror stories about the player, but there will always be people with horror stories about everything and anything.
Feel free to ask more questions if you want.
Although, saying that, the Samsung players are meant to be pretty good as well if you want to check them out.Message Edited by arcl on 09-26-2005 02:23 AM

Zen Nano Plus - 300mb of the 1G is not available to store music

About 300mb of?space is?unused on my Zen Nano plus (G) and I cannot load anything onto it. Any suggestions?Is this a firmware issue??

Please read the FAQ sticky thread as this is covered there - it is a limitation of the root folder in the FAT filesystem - put your songs into a folder and you will be able to fill it. PB

Zen Nano Plus--Nothing happens when I try to rip from my cd player to the Zen Nano pl

Please HELP!! I just bought my Zen Nano Plus last week(st mp3 player I ever owned). I've tried to rip cds from my stereo to the Nano but nothing happens. The encoding bar appears but shows no progress. Could I be plugging the cord in the wrong place? I plugged it in where you would normally plug in headphones into the stereo. Any suggestions?

I did get the line in connector, however, the only place it fits into the stereo is where you would normally plug in the headphones and that's where I plugged it in. As I mentioned earlier, the status bar does not show any progress when I press the play button.

Zen Nano Plus and N200- the sa

Yesterday I ordered a N200... or a Nano Plus, actually i don't know since the title said Zen Nano Plus, but the pictures and text said N200. Of course I asked support which I was going to get when I ordered and in their reply they said they are the same but with different name... so I don't really know what i'll get tomorrow, but then I guess it won't matter if they are the same with different name... But are they really the same?

Hello,
Just so you don't make a mistake, the 200 and the Zen Nano Plus were different for me. Both I bought were GB but the software was different on the N-200. I was told NOT to load the N-200 on the Zen Nano Plus. I also bought Notmad software and they said that the ZenNanoPlus would be supported soon.
I mistakenly thought I had to upgrade the firmware to get Audible compatibility. I did not. It was Audible ready out of the box. It was .00.02 from the factory. I got 2 different Creative support people telling me 2 different things...including how to upgrade the firmware with N200. One support said DO NOT do it.
Finally I got someone who said it was audible ready as it is. I tried it and it worked perfectly. So...just check. I am not sure who was right. All I know is I blew one up once trying to upgrade and I am real cautious now. At this time, I would not trade the Zen Nano Plus for anything......except perhaps for a copy of the new firmware for the Zen Touch ! Had to get that in.

I can't install the Zen nano Plus software on my pc. He

Hi,I've read some people have the same problem I do, but no solutuion. When I try to install the zen nano plus cd that came in the package, it comes up with a window saying : "the windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product". The nano plus is supposed to work with windows ME which I have?and I think I meet all the other requirements. Could they have mislabeled a cd?I tried installing it with the antivirus turned off with ca antivirus. Thanks for any help,Joe?

I just went to the page?http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&x=29&y=6and downloaded the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 file after filling all the info out in the drop down menus. I just installed it and I was good to go. The only issue I really had was installing the application from the CD which I mentioned earlier.But the application from the website installed with no problem whatsoever. I wish I could tell you something that would help as I know your frustration.Are you sure you downloaded the correct version for ME?You might ask someone if you really need this application to put music on you device because it seems like your device just acts like another dri've and you can just drag and drop into your device. I'm not sure about that so ask st so it doesn't mess up you player.or you might be able to use some other apllication to transfer your files to the player?Good luck and be persistent,JoeMessage Edited by joenanoplus on 2-26-200608:3 AM
