Updated Zen Micro Media Explo

I've just updated to the newer zen micro media explorer, so that I could use it with my newly updated firmware. But now I find the explorer missing alot of stuff that was there in the old one? What happened to the neat sorting by artist/genre/album boxes to the left? Right now it just displays the list of mp3s as files, how am I suppose to edit and reorganize my music?
Someone help?
Thanx

For MediaSource to detect your PlaysForSure firmware Zen Micro, you have to download and install "Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)". However, it will not have the Genre/Artist/Album windows. That is the nature of PlaysForSure firmware whereby the track listing is by directories.

  • Experiencing some problems after updating Zen Micro Media Explo

    I downloaded this update: Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB) (3 Jul 05)
    And now the Create a new playlist in device option is not available.
    Also, when I click Organize Music In Device, the following message comes up (but it still works ok, just a bit worried about the error message): Windows cannot find 'C:Program Files\Creative\Creative Zen Micro\Zen Micro Media Explorer\CTJBPlay.exe' etc...
    What's wrong?
    Answers to both questions would be greatly appreciated.

    Try these few things.....
    - Connect ur micro before u insert the CD
    2 - Try reinstalling the program, which should normally do the trick
    3 - Update your firmware. (not sure if that will help)
    4 - Try to rip cds that are only copyrighted (rip only original cds that u get in stores)

    i got the new firmware for my zen micro 5 gb. since then zen micro media explorer wont work so i'v had to use the Creative MediaSource Organizer and i dont like it. Is there a way for me to update Zen Micro Media Explorer so i can organize my player in a easier way or is there a better organizing program?

  • [MICRO] Zen Micro Media Explo

    When i try to transfer music files with Zen Micro Media Explorer (with the "import music" function) to my Zen Micro, it always says the tranfer is failed. But the player IS recognized by the program.
    Also i know it is not my usb-cable or the files i try to transfer, because when i try it with WMP0 it works fine. As i think WMP0 is not as convenient as Zen Micro Media Explorer, i would like to fix it. Anyone has an idea? (Creative MediaSource works fine too)

    Downgrade to firmware version .0.03 and uninstall any software you have and start from the CD. Then re-install the Zen Media Explorer from CD. It should be fine.
    You could also download the update for the Zen Media Explorer with firmwares that have PlayForSure technology. Updates are here

  • Zen Micro - Problems with Zen Micro Media Explo

    I've successfully installed the Zen Media Explorer and Media Source. I've used Zen Media explorer at work just fine but seem to be missing something on my home desktop. Everything in Media Explorer seems to work except for the "Rip Audio CD Tracks to Device" mode. When I select this feature in the main menu screen, it says insert audio cd in dri've, which I do. Then it says cd detected...but then all of the sudden I get a new dialog box that says "Error: Unable to load database component. The program will now exit." Has anyone else seen this? This is quite annoying as I have it working just fine at work and I think this is the most seamless method of getting cds tracks onto my micro....
    Thanks for any help you can provide...

  • Zen Micro not recognised using zen micro media explo

    Hi?get the error "device not connected" when I use the above facility,even though IT IS plugged in with the USB cable?Player is recognised in Windows Media Player. Any ideas ??Thanks??

    The problem will be the same I would think because the issue is that the player is an older one, so WMP does not recognise it. Unless they change it in te full version, which is probably only a slim chance, you will still need to download the hotfix and the other update.
    But if i were you i wait for the full version anyway, the Beta 2 is better but still far from perfect...

    just got a zen micro and guess what i am having the same problem, running on widows ME, went through the installation procedure. get a big red x that says windows cannot find driver, tired to reinstall the drivers both from the cd and from the usbman.com site, all end up in the same place, reinstalling drivers is not just happening. the systems subolder shows a yello question mark under zen creative.
    a hint or two:
    . i had the same problem with my Rave mp3 player and the service support fellow asked me to download the files from usbman.com, still didnot work. returned the **bleep** thing.
    now i have the zen and guess what, it is doing the same thing, wonder if it is windows me?
    2. when i restart the computer is get the following message (this is new for today)
    windows could not upgrade file % etc. etc. this error happened on the restart after installation.
    help me please.

  • Zen Micro Media Connection Prob

    I have a zen micro, I just updated the firmware so nothing is currently on my Zen. I went to import music to my zen with the Zen Micro Media Explorer, and it says my device is not connected. Now, my computer recognizes the device because it shows up as connected under my computer and I can import music that way, but its much easier and faster if I was able to use the Media Explorer and that is not working. Any suggestion? Thanks

    Did you also update to a newer version of the Media Explorer?

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer not working

    Recently I purchased a new PC. winxp. My zen worked just fine on my old PC. I installed my zen and the media explorer. When I launch the Zen Micro Media Explorer everything is grayed out. I cant click on anything. Windows media explorer shows my zen, but the Zen Micro Media Explorer is just all gray. I have FW version .3. I figued I would upgrade the FW and when I try upgading, it says the zen is not plugged in. I need to edit my playlists and I cant get into the media explorer. help!

    I'm having exactly the same problem with my Creative Zen Touch 40 gB - a couple of months ago I had to re-instal windows and manage to re-install MediaSource and all the Audigy and Creative Zen drivers and they all worked together nicely. I've now upgraded the motherboard and processor, re-installed windows and cannot get mediasource to see my device. I've tried intslling the plays-for-sure software suite and it says it can't see my device and to check that the firmware is updated to PFS devices, which it is. I've tried the updated drivers, updated mediasource, uninstalled the device and re-installed it and nothing works. I'm running Windows XP Professional which has been updated with all the critical updates and also runs Media PLayer .
    I know this doesn't help the previous poster, but if anyone else can help, that'd be fab.

  • Zen micro media explorer error mess

    I can't seem to get zen micro media explorer to acknowledge that my player is docked into my computer. I keep getting a message that says "the device is not connected. Please connect your Zen micro to the computer".
    Has anyone run into this?
    g2

    Just to tag along with this thread. I also updated the driver and applications for my Zen. All works fine. The only flaw is after upgrading the MediaSource to 3.30.2 the PC desktop shortcut icon is not automatically created after removing the earlier release one. I gotta manually create it. And there is no need to uninstall any earlier release cuz it seems the installer is smart enuff to detect earlier release and do uninstall before install the latest version.
    I feel some changes in the software but not so critical but I guess I want the latest version to keep up with the times :smileytongue:

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer - Zen Micro not showing

    When I start the Zen Micro Media Explorer, all of the options are blurred out and it says "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen Micro to the computer." But I have it in my USB port, and all the other programs see it....just not the Zen Micro Media Explorer.
    What is wrong?

    Make sure you have the latest version, called Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update on the download page, click the link Support > Downloads on this page.

  • Zen Micro Media Explorer not sorting alphabetica

    I just had this problem ever since I installed the 2.20.05 firmware. I backed up all my music in a folder, I chose detailed view and usually when I click on those buttons on top that says Artist, Size, Name, etc. They arrange it from A-Z or Z-A. Zen Micro Media Explorer didn't do this for me, I clicked on Arist and everything gets mixed up. Also I have lost my Genre in all of my music during the process of backing up. It made it harder for me to sort my music back together.
    And the weirdest thing is that Creative Mediasource properly sorted my music from A-Z just like how it looks like under Windows Explorer. But under the Zen Micro Media Explorer, it still doesn't display correctly.
    Any reasons why this is happening?

    ^^ I also have the same issue, but only with one of my two microphotos. I first noticed it when I was trying to update my firmware. My first player worked perfectly, the second one always tells me that my player is disconnected (yes i've jiggled the cables and such). It then tells me that my player is not compatible with creative media explorer. Trouble is both players had the same firmware as i bought them at the same time, but one doesn't work while the other does.

  • Problem with Zen Micro Media Explor

    I got my Zen Micro the other day, and installed the software, but when i try to load the Zen Micro Media Explorer my computer goes to a blue screen and then restarts. I reinstalled the software but still have the same problem. Please help me!

    Try downloading the latest version to see if that has the same problem.
    Also turn off automatic restart so you can see what file is giving you the error, if there is a file.
