The shortcut button and the "random play all" m

hi everybody,
here is my question:
is it right that when i asign "random play all" to the shortcut button it even overwrites the skip forward and backward buttons...probably because it also sets the play mode to "shuffle". but then, when i asign "album of the day" to shortcut button it doesn?t change back the play mode from shuffle to normal...
strange...
does anybody experience similar issues ?
thanx
christoph

That's correct, you have to manually change it to normal play if you don't want it to shuffle. I love that feature (the shortcut)

Zen MX 'random play all' problems

!Zen MX 'random play all' problemso Hello, 2 newbies here, Maz (who is typing)?and mum Wendy (whose player is having problems).
I have a Zen in an older version and I've never had many problems but my mum recently got a 6gb?Zen MX (version .00.09)?and although it was working fine before recently after an update that seemed to go wrong (I wasn't there an mum?is?unclear what exactly went wrong but we have had a major virus problem)?the 'random play all' mode has become messed up somehow. It will only play one track at a time then stops and has to be prompted to continue every time. Apparently it also randomly halfway through tracks will sometimes change the speed of play but I have not heard this so I'm not exactly sure whether this is a separate problem or already resolved.
So far we have tried using the reset button and that had no effect. Then we tried restoring the default settings and reprogramming the programmeable button to random play all and the issue reoccurs. We have also checked and 'play mode' is on shuffle as I thought it should be.
Any suggestions?
Maz & Wendy

Has the firmware on the player been updated? I would do that. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=23&CatName=MP3+Players&s ubCatID=23&subCatName=MIDI+Keyboards&prodID=865&pr odName=ZEN+MX&bTopTwenty=&VARSET=prodfaq"]http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=23&CatName=MP3+Players&s ubCatID=23&subCatName=MIDI+Keyboards&prodID=865&pr odName=ZEN+MX&bTopTwenty=&VARSET=prodfaq[/url]:PRODFAQ_865,VARSET=CategoryID:23

Missing songs in "Random play all&qu

I have a Creative Zen (8GB) with the latest firmware and I just did a fresh reformat, uploaded 566 songs using Winamp (which I can verify in Winamp, 566 mp3s ARE on the player), and if I select random play all on the player it only plays 524 of them. I can put a playlist on the player which contains all 566 songs and they all play fine, but for some reason the random play all button won't load all the songs on the player. Any thoughts? (And no, "don't use winamp" isn't an acceptable answer, thanks).

I have one more problem now. Apparently my Zen 8GB hates certain characters in ID3 tags and replaces them with more friendly characters when files are transferred to it. This causes massi've problems because any playlists that referenced the songs with invalid letters in the tags will no longer contain those songs, and when syncing it causes problems because songs with different tags are obviously seen as different songs (even though they are the same song, one with the tags mangled).
Does anyone know of some software that can remove all the unsupported characters from the ID3 tags in my media library? That would really make life a lot easier, thanks.

X-FI2 Random Play All Problem

HI All,
I've spotted another prob with X-FI2 whichI think may be linked to it not recognising all albums on the player. Has anyone else noticed that if you go to the DJ option and choose Random Play All, it chooses only 00 tracks (the same tracks every time) and just cycles through them. Its driving me mad, I have 4300 tracks on uploaded but its just cjhoosing those 00 to play. Its also annoying because 99.9% of the time I have my mp3 player on this play mode.
Anyone spotted this too, and can it be fixed without firmware update?
Just thought, also, does anyone know of a proper user guide for the X-FI2. I've downloaded Creative Centrale but can't find any doc with more thorough instructions in than are in the quickstart guide?
Thanks in antcipation of any assistance

Having sorted these problems, I thought I'd reply to my own posting so other Zen newbies can share.
If you update with the .0 firmware, that fixes the problem of the random play all choice only cycling through 00 tracks.
To get user manual for the X-FI2, you need to install the Creative Centrale software. This then creates a folder in your program files called Creative (C:/program files/creative). The user manual is in there.
These are probably dead basic answers to dead basic questions, but if you didn't know the answer, then it might as well be the hardest answer in the world.

Zen Vision M: Random Play All, press FF button, becomes Album of the

OK, I choose 'Random Play All' from the DJ menu, and it does queue all the tracks. But if a track that I do not want to listen to comes up, I press the >> Fast Forward button to try to skip to the next song in the queue, but then it goes to 'Album of the Day' mode.
It does this no matter what 'Play Mode' I have the player in.
I have upgraded the firmware.
My Zen Xtra did not do this....
Any idears?
Bill

Sounds like you both need to report it as a bug. In my experience bugs mentioned here don't tend to get fixed.
Go to the support section under contact, and file a report there of the bug.
That way a ticket will get made and put in the system and sooner (most likely later) we might see a fix in the next firmware.

Does the iPhone support a "Random Play All" feature?

After reading the iPhone manual on-line, I did not see direct support for a "Random Play All" option.
Please tell me that this was an omission in the manual and it is directly supported by the iPhone, because this is a deal breaker for our family if it is not directly suported.

It might help if I had any idea what that feature was.
Do you mean a shuffle feature-where it randomly picks music tracks and plays them?
If so-the 3g iPhone has it.

How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?

When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

I can't play my music any more when my phone is off? I use to just double click the home button and it would play music. Now it doesn't. Why?

I can't play music on my iPhone 4 anymore when my phone is off. I use to double click the home button and I could play music with out having to enter my pass code every time. Now it doesn't work that way any more. Can any one tell me how to fix it?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting your device, but it can cure some glitches.

That may be a problem with the VLC plugin. VLC has never worked for me properly on the occasions that I've tried it on Windows and Linux, so I have stop using it. There are usually other plugins or media players available that work better.
What kind of media files are that?
For WMP files you can install the new Windows Media Player plugin you can also try RealPlayer and QuickTime if it is about media that those programs can handle to see if that works better.

Zen Mozaic random play all question

#This has been driving me crazy. I have 458 songs on my player, but when I select random play all, the song count comes up as 335. Anyone know what is going on or how I can fix this?
On top of this, sometimes if I add like 5 sonds, the counter for all tracks will increase by 5, but the counter during random play all will increase maybe or 2.

Has the firmware on the player been updated? I would do that. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=23&CatName=MP3+Players&s ubCatID=23&subCatName=MIDI+Keyboards&prodID=865&pr odName=ZEN+MX&bTopTwenty=&VARSET=prodfaq"]http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=23&CatName=MP3+Players&s ubCatID=23&subCatName=MIDI+Keyboards&prodID=865&pr odName=ZEN+MX&bTopTwenty=&VARSET=prodfaq[/url]:PRODFAQ_865,VARSET=CategoryID:23

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Vision:m random play all in genr

Hi,
I got my Vision:m yesterday. It is my first MP3 player.
It is great apart form a couple of issues.
One of these is that I would like to have a random play for everything in a certain genre. I don't think you can already do this? (maybe through playlists?)
I have sorted genres into things like Indie and Rock, 80s pop etc and would sometimes like to just listen to a certain type of music.
Does anyone know if this can be done?
If not Creative can you please think about adding this option.
Thanks

Nope, I have the player also, and this feature is not possible.
I don't use Genres though. I've got it so that the Genres act like folders on a PC, so always search for music using this, yet would be pointless for me to have a randomise based on them
They should add it though, yes.

Mouse buttons and keyboard randomly stop responding on secondary display

Hey,
I'm facing this weird problem after a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard:
In about half of the cases I'm switching to application windows on a secondary/external display the mouse buttons and Macbook keyboard are unresponsive. I have to keep clicking/pressing for some time or have to switch between applications to get them working, until they'll fail again after some time.
I tested it with two different external displays with VGA and DVI adapter, different screen resolutions, I tested the mouse and mouse software, both keyboard and mouse work fine with the same applications moved to the primary laptop screen, trackpad works fine too.
This occurred after the upgrade to Snow Leopard on a 2008 unibody Macbook. Updates to 10.6.2 didn't solve the problem.
I'd be happy if anyone could help me with this issue.
Thanks

You do not provide the full model number but if it is an AMD processor you are seeing the start of video issues that plague that series. The freeze is caused by bad video memory which is a part of the video card in turn part of the motherboard. I have been getting a high percentage of people who do not respond back to posts so I am not going to write everything about your issue; it could be a book. I am happy to help further if you have any questions. There are some repair options but at the end of the day, you might want to consider a new laptop.
