  • Using other MP3 players with ITunes

    Can anyone give me some guidance? My little girl wants an ipod after having great fun listening to my ipod shuffle. All my music is now stored on iTunes so the question is; does itunes support any other MP3 players or will it only support ipods - I was going to buy her a cheap £15 player.
    Any help would be gratefully recieved.

    JoJo70,
    To elaborate slightly on what polydorus said, cheap mp3 players play mp3 format files only, full stop. The one I have used (in the same price range you are talking about) connects to the PC via USB, and opens in Windows as a folder. You can then copy/paste files into it, or delete files that are already in it. It truly does not care if iTunes is present or not.
    To your comment that "All my music is now stored on iTunes": not really. Your music is stored on your hard drive, and iTunes only contains a library that points to it. There is no reason you can't use the same song files for some non-iTunes purpose, and that is what you will be doing with your daughter's player.
    Sooner or later however, she will want an iPod.

  • Post for happy owners of Creative mp3 players

    Welcome in the island of the happy owners of Creative mp3 players! I open this post because I see in the forum that there are many topics about unsatisfied customers. I think that many people that is satisfied of these mp3 players don't go in forums, because forum are used above all to find solution at problems!Anyway I'm happy owner of a Creative Zen 6 GB And all works fine! All is perfect! And this player is really a little wonder!The battery life (I saw that there is a post about it here) is about 8 hours using player in normal use, with songs at more than 92 kbps.
    I'm really satisfied! It is the best player that I got!My list of players began with the Zen Xtra 40 GB, after the Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB and then the Zen Vision:M 60 GB. I have the little and nice Zen Stone Plus too! All work perfect!

    I posted about my zen experience allready, but my list of experiences just got a little longer so I'll recapI am a music freak. with a capitol K , my very first mp3 player wasnt even creative it was he weird kind with the disc that fits in the back. only held ten songs without the disk disk could hold twenty. then I got a real job and got my first creative mp3 player. it was nomad, and nomad was good. jump dri've lookin thing with a red power supply (case the battery goes into) it weas either 256 or 52, cant remember for sure. but it sounded pretty and held my songs, and was small enough I could take it to work without arousing suspicion.nephew found it (two years old, my own fault) and separated the dri've from the power supply still have power supply, cant find dri've. So I got a muvo v00 gig it lasted virtually forever, even went through a washer and dryer trip, and still played till about a month after it got laundered. when it mysteriously powered down. I upgraded to a v+ which I love. I have had it since june and its still goin strong, even went with me on a 3 day camp out, still works great.. only problem I had was the power didnt last till the end of the third day. but all three of these sounded awesome. the v+ still does, plus Ive put a couple episodes of "psych" on it for video entertainment. I recently took it to work with me and was stocking shelves in the cooler for a few hours (about 28-32 degrees) and I learned two things. . cold temperatures do adversely effect battery life, but not horribly, and 2. we have an anti headphone policy of which I was not previously aware. nevertheless it performs great even on the job. on a side note I put the brass or copper (not sure which) connector plate back on on my muvo v00. my cousin uses it now instead of her ipod I'm so happy.
    cudos creative for making players that can go camping, and even withstand a full wash and dry cycle. (machine washing and tumble drying your mp3 player is not reccomended.)

  • Latest MediaSource Plugins for various Creative MP3 Players are now available for downl

    Just went to the product support site. Guess what? The latest MediaSource plugins for the various Creative MP3 Players are now available for download. I am sure the latest plugins should have fixed several problems.
    Don't forget to download the latest Creative MediaSource v3.30.2 too. Install the latest Creative MediaSource first before you install the MediaSource Plugins of your respecti've MP3 Players.
    Note: According to the download site, the latest MediaSource plugins require you to have at least v3.20.57 of Creative MediaSource.

    Thanks micromouse
    ... but there's no new plugin for the original Jukebox
    I've always had trouble connecting to MediaSource with my JB and was hoping for a new plugin to sort all my problems.

  • Creative MP3 Players and Car Au

    Hello,
    I'm a newbie and I don't know a lot about MP3 players so I hope you can help me out. I have a brand new Kenwood car audio with an USB cable to plug your MP3 player in. My friend's Samsung MP3 player doesn't work, after some research I find out that the MP3 player has to be an MTP one to work with the car audio. Now my question is: are all Creative MP3 players MTP maschines and do I have to make a software update or what ever to "make them be" a MTP player?
    Thanks a lot for any support!

    Are you sure about this? Which Kenwood is it exactly? The info I've seen on the Kenwoods say that the USB device must be MSC (not MTP).
    Perhaps your friend's Samsung is MTP, and that's why it didn't work.

  • Creative Mp3 Players MTP Problem Solution

    Hi,because of the firmware and windows problems,if you have a mp3 player with a firmware that doesn't support MTP problem,sometimes even if you reformat your computer,you can get "player not connected" error. To solve this you must install MTP supporting firmware on your mp3 player,but if you don't want to upgrade your firmware (because of being afraid of stucking in the recovery mode,some other reasons)there is some other solutions to solve this problem.
    Editing registry keys,and some other patches did nothing to solve my problem.So I deleted all Creative Drivers and programs from Add/Remove Programs,and I deleted Windows Media Player 0 and installed Windows Media Player 9,than I installed everything from my mp3 player's cd (media source,nomad explorer,device drivers,etc.) and I downloaded and installed new device driver (version 2...) from creative web site. I restarted my computer,and my problem is completely solved. Try it...

  • Do ALL Creative MP3 players have Bookmarking capabiliti

    I currently have a 28 MB MuVo but am looking to upgrade to to a newer model. Before I buy a new model I need to know the answer to the following question.
    Question: Do ALL of the Creative MP3 players have the bookmark feature including the Zen models?
    If all of them do not have this feature, which Creative models do or do not have bookmarking capabilities?
    Thanks for the info!

    <SPAN>What is Bookmarking?
    <SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>Imaging you are listening to a 5 hr audiobook file and you decide to stop and turn off your device at 2:34:22 into the file. Later you desire to listen to the file where you left off, only you discover that you are the beginning of the file and must fast forward to the point where you left off.
    <EM><SPAN>Bookmarking allows the MP3 device to continue where you left off listening when either switching tracks or turning off the device.</EM><SPAN>
    <SPAN>WARNING:
    <SPAN>I have discovered two types of bookmarking that I call
    <SPAN><SPAN>.) firmware bookmarking - MP3 players that will bookmark ALL file types
    <SPAN><SPAN>2.) software bookmarking - MP3 players that will bookmark SPECIFIC file types ONLY. Some audio providers like Audible.com appear to get around the MP3 firmware limitations by downloading drivers and software to interface with their specific audiofiles.
    <SPAN><SPAN>For example:
    <SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>Creative 28 MuVo has firmware bookmarking capabilities and works on ALL my audiofiles<SPAN>SanDisk
    <SPAN>Sanza e40 software bookmarks audiobook files from Audible.com.

  • Using the mp3 player with various comput

    Hello,
    I was wondering if I can use the mp3 player with more than one computer, that's to say, not only with the first one. I'm in the USA now but I li've in Italy, so if I buy it here and use it here to download songs, then will I be able to use it in Italy too? Meaning, will I be able to use it with another computer and download others song on it's
    And another question, concerning the battery, what happens when it dies? Because on the mp3 player homepage I read something about replacing it but I would like to know more about it. The battery is a big concern because I'm choosing between Ipod and this one, and on the discussion forums of Ipod, it wasn't very reassuring. While I had heard that Creative's battery is good.
    Thank you very much. Please answer soon.

    Lithium Ion batteries last on average 3 years at peak performance from date of manufacture. More here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

  • Is it possible to use creative cloud online with both Mac/windows system (on the same computer, bootcamp) without paying twice ?

    Hello, I work with a Macbook pro, divided into mac and win 8 (with Bootcamp), is it possible to use Creative Cloud subscription with both system without paying twice.
    Bonjour, J'utilise un Macbook pro partitionné Bootcamp mac et windows 8, est-il possible que l'abonnement à Creative Cloud en ligne fonctionne indifféremment dans les deux systemes (sur le même ordi), sans payer deux fois.
    Merci,
    jho

    Your subscription allows for two functioning installations (normally on separate machines, but I imagine you could install the two as you indicate).

  • Comparison of Creative MP3 Players - How to Choo

    Is there a comparison anywhere at the Creative site, or elsewhere online, where someone can compare the features of all the Creative mp3 players - at least by product line - to each other so as to make an informed decision concerning which one to buy. I'm not exactly a simpleton, but I have to admit that the sheer quantity of them is a bit daunting... I realize, for instance, that the Zen has a higher capacity than the Zen Micro, but how does one start comparing the Zen Micro to the Zen Touch, or to the MuVo models, etc...
    Thanks,
    JP

    I did find this:

    It doesn't include every model but it's an example of what I'd like to see.

  • Creative MP3 players still RELIABLE??? (headphone jack/software) USERS OF NEW PRODUCT NEED

    after BOTH of my zen micro has headphone jack problem and the error filled software for the zen micro, i doubt about it's reliability, i want to ask the people who use creative's new players (mp3/photo/video) to tell me what they experienced. because i never like Apple, but they are much more durable to use. They can withstand so much physical dmg and works perfectly, on the other hand, the smallest vibration/movement caused the zen micro headphone jack's metal pieces to go out of place(have no contact on the male connector for headphones)
    please tell me ur experiences of the newer Creative mp3/video players

    i've owned 3 creative and i only had problems with the zen xtra and thats one of their older players, with the zen micro and vision m i havent had any problems including the headphone jack, and i put my players through some rough times so i think their improvin upon the quality/durability overall

  • Which latest Creative mp3 come with EA

    hi,
    After using Creative SB soundcards, I love to use DSP option called EAX -Auditorium. Does it EAX sounds quality exactly like use in Creaf SB mixer ? Can it apply customize EQ + EAX DSP at once ?
    Is there any latest mp3 model come with EAX ? After browsing on Creaf product, I only found its available on Zen NX, USB2 & Xtra.
    thanks for the reply

    The Zen Xtra is the latest player with EAX. It looks like it will not be on any future players either instead EQ and Smart Volume Management (which is fine by me) appear to be it for any upcoming players.
    EQ is one of the EAX settings - if another is selected, then EQ is overridden.

  • Can I continue to use my MP3 player with M

    I have just crossed over to Mac (OS 0.4.) from Windows and would like to keep on using my MP3 player (Creative MuVo200). I am able to sync up with CDs that are already in the music folder but am unable to rip and play whole CDs with either Flip4Mac or even Real Player. The players only seem to be able to play one song at a time rather that open a whole CD. Am I locked into i-tunes?

    I have no problem syncing my MP3 player, the problem is with the actual software. I have Windows Media Player, Flip4Mac and Real Player but neither of them read the CD. The only I can do it is by opening a file under the file menu. That doesn't allow me to play the CD though, just play a chosen song within the CD. There also seems to be no way to rip a CD either. I absulutely don't want to use AAC files as they are not compatible with ProTools otherwise I would just stick to i-Tunes. I've also tryed XNJB but have the same problem with that.

  • MP3 players with bookmarking for audio bo

    <font face="Arial" size="2" color="black">I am trying to find an MP3 player that is very good at playing audio books. Most MP3 manufacturers do not really address the use of their players for audio books so features that apply to books are left out of their discussions. I've found a website that tests MP3 players for audio books, but it only lists a few players?and seems behind in their testing. They do have a list of criteria that they use to approve an MP3 player; their list follows:
    <font face="Arial" size="2" color="black">?<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="blue">Device Feature Requirements
    <font face="Verdana" size="" color="blue">. Must be able to play secure or protected WMA files: Windows Media Audio (WMA) is an audio compression format similar to MP3, but with built-in digital rights management (DRM) for copy protection and usage restrictions. The DRM used by NetLibrary eAudiobooks controls expiration of your eAudiobook, so that they will expire at the end of the borrowing period.
    <font face="Verdana" size="" color="blue">. Must be able to play a WMA file with a minimum bit rate of 32 Kbps
    <font face="Verdana" size="" color="blue">. Must be Windows 2000, XP or Vista compatible
    <font face="Verdana" size="" color="blue">. Must be compatible with Windows Media Player version 9 (WMP v9) or higher: This is used for transferring or synchronizing files to the device.
    <font face="Verdana" size="" color="blue">. Must have [On/Off] resume, pause/resume functionality, or true bookmarking: These features enable you to return to your place in the book. The least desirable?alternati've is to fast-forward to find your place in the book each time you resume reading.
    <font face="Verdana" size="" color="blue">. Must have an LCD time display of either HH:MM:SS or MMMM:SS: These time display formats allow the device to play and handle long tracks or files. The time display is also important when returning to a designated place in the book.
    <font face="Verdana" size="" color="blue">. Must have a minimum of 52 MB of storage
    <font face="Verdana" size="" color="blue">. Must pass the NetLibrary Long Play Standard: The device must be able to play a track with duration of 8 hours or longer (file size usually 256 MB or larger).
    I guess one of the key features is the [color="#ff0000"]bookmarking option so that you can continue a book where you left off. Can you recommend some MP3 players that meet the above requirements?One to?5 MByte should be plenty of memory, we don't need a lot of storage capacity because we only borrow (check out) the books from our local library. Thank you.
    Message Edited by bookman on 2-9-200602:04 PM

    but by taking away those features, the new creative players are now very similar to idiot pods. albeit more reliable. the one edge creative had was superior audio quality through eax. losing that is a big mistake in my opinion. the audio quality is probably?still better, but not by as much anymore.
