Viewing Files In Zen Vision Media Explo

Quick question:
When I go to 'Browse Media' and then 'Music' I get a list of my folders (individual albums) and if I then click on one of them I can view the tracks.
Problem is that the view always alphabetically orders the tracks and I have to click on the 'track number' bar to put them in track order.
Is there a way to set the default view to be in track order?Message Edited by Dilligaf on 04-0-200707:39 PM

Triple post, that's annoying.

[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

Can no longer transfer .wav files to Zen Vision:M in Windows Media Player

Ok, first off let me state my goal so that if anyone knows a way for me to accomplish it without WMP that would be ideal:
I'm trying to copy lossless (wav) music files to my Zen Vision M including album art and all the information the player needs for artist, album, etc (rather than just plopped into the "all tracks" section.
Until today I was accomplishing this just fine in WMP. I would sync up my player and everything worked relati'vely well. Then today for some reason windows now wants to convert my wavs to WMA before copying to my zen. I don't know why and it's really irritating me. There must be a solution because it was working just a couple days ago on the same machine!
Thanks for your help

Well I figured it out. Turns out if you go to Sync(little down arrow)>DEVICE_NAME>Advanced Options>Quality if you leave it on automatic it will transfer wav files, but if you change it (I did without knowing) then the highest quality you're going to get is 92 WMA.

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)

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.

Copying files from Zen Vision:M to my

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this, i recently had to recover my pc so i decided to back up my beloved music, photos and documents to my Zen Vision:M. Although i managed to transfer the music across, i seem unable to copy over the music without there being some from of problem (i.e. it freezes up my pc) i hope someone can help i'm getting stressed!?thanks, Scene!Kid =D

Well i did try, but still it was the same.... and now it seems the files have disappeared! i'm so confused! i always thought of Creative products being relati'vely simple (despite a few minor problems with my player when i first purchased it) so i'm shocked that i cannot copy over music files by dragging and dropping. Any other ideas?Scene!Kid

Help w/ Zen V Media Explo

HELP?
With my Zen Micro (purchased 2 years ago), I could identify parts of source directory path as Album/Artist/Genre using the Zen Micro Media Explorer.
I purchased 2 Zen V: one for my wife and one for my daughter.
The Zen V Media Explorer is very basic/simple. It appears to lack this feature.
Once I select the folders from the various Artists/albums from my PC,
it just transfers them. It does not give me a page to set up as does the Zen Micro Media Explorer.
Is this by design (lacking features)?
How do i identify the Artist/Album in the folder path for each song being transferred over on the Zen V?
P.S. Is Zen V the same as Zen Vision?
Is this the correct forum?
i.e. is the Zen V an mp3 player or a media player?
Thanks!

I just got a Zen V plus 2 gig for Christmas. YIPPE!
I installed the disc on the admin. account for this computer so it should work on the all of the account.
I can not use the admin. account, so I use a different one.
Every time I plug in my Zen V Plus, it[the Zen V media Explorer]always says it is not connected and when I try to close the problem, I always get the 'end now' button and it malfunctions.[and yes, i followed the instructions and all]
When I got to Computer-->Portable Devices, there is my Zen V plus, and from there I can manually drag and drop my photos and music into there, and it shows up in my Zen V Plus. And when i unplug it, my music is on
BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
I chose the zen v PLUS over just the zen v because it had video, and i need the Zen V Media Explorer to convert my videos, so I can put them on my Zen V Plus. I can not drag and drop them, because they are not converted to fit the Zen V even though they are AVI videos.
I need to know how to get the Explorer to recognize my Zen V Plus just as my computer already does.
I also need it to work, and not make the end down function to show. It really ruins the whole point of getting the Zen V plus. :'(
I don't know if this helps you: I have Windows Vista.
Ps. i had a zen v before on a windows XP and explorer worked fine. I do not have both of this items anymore.

Zen Xtra Media Explo

I know I must be doing something wrong but I can't seem to figure out what it is or how to correct it. I upgraded my Nomad Zen Xtra to the PlaysForSure firmware and am trying to use the new organizer but I?m finding it to be very cumbersome and not overly user friendly. Under the new version, when I go to Windows Explorer and click on the Music Library folder and then open the Music folder, all the tracks are in folders created by the artist's name with a subfolder created by the CD name. Is it possible to change the view to where I can see everything grouped by a particular CD and not by the artist who created the track? Is it possible to open all the folders at once? According to the help files, I should be able to view it this way but mine is not displayed that way and no indication is given as to how to change the view.
I just ripped a number of compilation CD?s and am finding this to be totally confusing as to what went in what CD. Creating play lists is so awkward I don?t even attempt it. If I were to be looking for a particular track, I have to open each folder individually. I have over 3000 tunes loaded. Under the old system, everything was visible and I could click on columns to re-order/group the tracks.
As a last resort, can I ?downgrade? back to the old system?


no, you can't downgrade.
but try winamp 5.2.

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...

Zen Vision:M ID3 tags being transered to compu

I always update my artist/titles/albums on the Zen Vision Media Explorer. When i transfer files back to my computer they don't keep there tags that i put in. Is there any way to transfer files to my computer while keeping the players tags?

I'm not sure if this will help you but generally ID3v tags are more compatible while ID3v2 are more flexible meaning you get more options as what you want in your tags. So I would go with ID3v to be on the safe side.

Zen Vision M 30gB: How Do You Add DVD Movi

Just received this player as a gift from a friend. I think he got it at DELL. It was easy adding Music and it sounds great. I have to figure out how to use the Equilizer, Smart Sound (keeps sound levels constant) and Bass Boost...to arri've at the best sound quality. Takes some fiddiling as each changes quality. Through much trial and error i figured out how to add some video clips i had stored on my computer. They had to be converted even though they were in the acceptable AVI. format. Convertion TAKES A VERY LONG TIME to WMA but at least it worked. I then figured out how to download a "Simpsons" episode from Kazaa and convert it,? and load it to the player. Conversion of the 30 minute episode took some 2 hours. I did all this on Zen Vision Media Explorer software that came with the unit. BUT:I HAVE NO WAY OF ADDING DVD MOVIES! I tried using the Media Explorer? - Convert Video - Add: i select Dri've E: / DVD - Spiderman II ...but i get folders with lots of weird files and it doesnt work. Isnt the point of a Video player to have a drag and drop DVD movie feature?HELP.

I'm afraid we cannot allow discussion of ripping commercial DVD on the forum, for legal reasons. I'm sure you will be able to find more information by using search engines or from some other websites.
