Vision M 60Gb spare pa

We managed to lose the USB host adapter cable for our ZVM 60 Gb whilst travelling so couldn't directly transfer from our camera any more - the whole reason we bought it!
Does anyone know the best place to get spare parts for Creative MP3 players? I have been in contact with Creative Tech Support, but the online store team say they don't sell them and I should try Tech Support.
USB host adapter cables don't seem to be available generally (a google search didn't come up with much) The ZVM is quite finniky so I'd like to get a genuine or approved cable if possible.
Oh - a word of warning, you can't charge your ZVM via the USB cable with an AC/USB adapter, or on machines without the software installed. We had to find a creative charger whilst travelling as well.

it is possible to purchase the sync adapter for the zen vision m through the creative site (but only in america). you can also purchase a sync cable which connects directly to the player with no need for the adapter but then you can only charge through pc (here)?a few shops sell creative accessories, but supply is limited as is the range, try micro anvika, maplin, comet or currys (these are all uk stores but they may have branches elsewhere so worth checking). these are just the shops i know of, check the internet for more, try ebay, amazon etc. you could also just get a docking station, which is just a bigger sync adapter, and seeing as you have a dc adapter, you can charge through the mains aswell using the dock. the dock is available in all regions on the creative site and cheaper at amazon, i havent seen the 60gb docking station anywhere but the creative site.Message Edited by dazed on 0-6-20070:23 PM

Zen Vision:M 60GB firmware: NEEDS 'Disc Number' tag supp

The Creative Zen Vision:M 60GB firmware (.20.02e) does not recognise the 'Disc Number' part of ID3 tags.
This is VERY annoying as albums made up of more than one CD do not play in the correct order (they play in order of 'Track Number', e.g. ",,,,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,5,5" etc). I do not want to go through my collection separating these large albums into a messy bunch of single discs.
This seems like a simple firmware issue: please update it!

jjwood,
Although I can understand the situation, please refrain from using bad language which is uncalled for. In any case, if the player is still having problem despite attempt at rescue mode, then contact Customer Support for service. If the store where you purchase the product allow exchanges, it maybe faster to be done through them.

Creative Zen Vision M 60GB no longer recognised on Vi

Im running vista home premium and have had no problems with Zen Vision M 60gb until now. When connected to my PC, the player lights up but does not begin charging as normal.
In addition, my PC will not recognise the player, only saying I can 'safely remove a USB mass storage device'.
Any ideas? - I cant get into the player as the battery ran down (hence why I was trying to charge it in the first place!)
Thx

Do you have a wall charger for the player? If you do use that instead of the usb from the computer. Also it may take a day or to to charge if the battery is really drained. A good charger to use if you have one is the wall charger for the PlayStation Portable. Radio Shack should also have one you can use for it also.

Zen Vision M:60Gb poor bass performa

I've recently purchases a Zen Vision:M 60Gb to replace an IRi'ver. I am not pleased with the bass response, and was wondering if anyone knew a way to improve it. I have tried setting the EQ and adding bass boost, which is a very mild improvement, this also has the added annoyance of clipping/distorting anything with deep bass notes (Portishead, American Beauty theme etc)I have tried with both Shure E3c, and Sennheiser HD595, and neither has the deep bass response that I am used to. Is this just a firmware issue?I currently encode using the highest setting in WMP 0, is there a better way to rip cds?If anyone could suggest a solution I would be very greatful, as it has got to the point where I am starting to think 'Ipod' and no-one deserves that!I apologise if someone has covered this in another thread, I did a search and couldn't find one, but I am new.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately 5 isn't quite loud enough for me. I wonder if there is a chance that Creative will improve the firmware to provide a better bass response, if this is possible?I have since read that European firmware can be limited, my player is at the latest available version, so I was going to try putting the American firmware on it to see if it improves the output. I have also now had a shot of a colleagues Ipod, and it is not any better, sound quality in general is in fact?worse, so thankfully I won't have to go down that route

Zen Vision M 60GB removable disk on Vi

Hi,
I want to use the removable disk function on my zen vision m 60gb at capacity 32GB. I can't do this on the player; it wants me to use the "Creative Removable Disk Manager" to set the capacity, but what looks like the setup for this program on the install disk won't run on vista, and I can't see any help for this on the site. Can anyone advise a way to let me use the 32GB removable disk function?
Thanks

Thanks for the response,
The player has 8 options for capacity of removable disk, 52MB, GB, .5GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 6GB and 32GB. Changing it through the player itself, like you say, works for choices up to 8GB, but trying it on 6GB and 32GB the player gives the message "Unable to resize. Use the Creative Removable disk manager to resize." I've tried cleaning up and rebooting, I've tried formatting the removable disk section but no joy. I had the impression that this issue was common to all these players, because the size was too big to handle itself.

Zen vision M 60GB - storing of pho

Hi,
Does the Zen Vision M 60GB allows me to store as many photos as I want to on it. Or does it limit me to say 50% of the total GB. I read that the 30GB has this restriction where it allows only 6GB for storing files.
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks

Is there enough memory for the video to fit's Is it in the right format/codec? I am assuming it is since you were not asked to re-encoded before transferring the file.
Other than that, you may try restoring or formating the player to the original settings. The worst case scenario is that it is a hardware problem, but try to eliminate all other alternati'ves before reaching that conclusion.
Good luck!

Zen Vision M : 60GB sound issue solv

Hello, yesterday, i?we bought a ZEN Vision M:60GB player and a after playing few tracks, i was looking for a reason of sound hissing a scratching. In this forum i found an answer why,but i cannot find if it was patched or repaired in next firmware For 30GB Zen is available version .6 (-was it patched? in this version) ,for my 60GB is available .20.
Sorry for my English,
Thanks for any answers.

I've tried 3 different firmwares(EU and US) ,reformatting player and reloading of firmware,but with no effect. It is a problem with every 6th song on average. Especially it is markable on tracks,which was grabbed from original CD's without any loss sound of quality(like on tracks downloaded from internet)and with full sound spectrum.Very bad on sound with bass.
With enabled equalizer...no matter which preset-it is worse..
On my old mp3 player (Iri'ver ifp999) and with equalizer enabled on U-bass or Rock-the sound on these 'bad' tracks is excellent...full of bass without ANY sound distortion.
On my X-FI without sound distortion too. I'm using these headphones: Koss Porta Pro and Sony MDR-EX5.
I'm sad about it.
After reading many threads in forum about Vision M-i'm sure,that it's not only my problem. If it is a problem of compatibility od hardware and firmware in ZEN,could it be fixed in next firmware?
Thanks for answer

Where can I download back ZEN Vision:M 60GB firmware v1.10.04_0.0.

Hi all,
I bought my Zen Vision:M 60GB a few days ago and somehow I made
the firmware doesn't work. I tried to find it from Creative Labs official website.
They only provide the one for 30GB.
Does anyone know where I can download the firmware back?
Thanks a lot.
Holly

Cat,
Of course if my Zen Vision M doesn't have any troubles of the firmware, it is good to buy.
But right now, creative labs put this out of the market and not ready the firmware for the customers even the original one... well, I don't mean that other people should not buy it but if they have the same probelm like me. Go to the customer service center is the only way to solve it... I also think it is not becuase how new of Zen Vision M 60GB, upload the original firmware is easy, right? And no one can guarantee that when I would screw up the firmware, right?
Also, the supporting team keeps telling me that the one online is good for 30GB and 60GB... well, I did try it. My Zen Vision M just told me that I need to connect the MP3. I did but the firmware didn't detect it.
I would like to go to the customer service center in Hong Kong. But their office hour is same as me even mine is longer than them... and they don't open it on publish holiday and sunday. Tell me what should I do? Yeah, right, apply a day off and go to the custmer service center and just for that... As you said it is very new MP3 player, I hope they have enough hardware or software to fix my problem.

Vision M: 60GB - Dup Song Title Probl

In my music library I have some duplicate songs. Let's use "Jingle Bells" as a example. This song is in my library on the the Barbra Striesand Christmas album, Bing Crosby White Christmas album, James Taylor Christmas album and about 6 others. My library is organized by a folder for each artist, a folder for each album under the artist folder, the songs are files named in the format "track# song title.MP3". In using the MediaSource 5 song transfer facility to populate the library on the Vision:M 60GB it finds that "Jingle Bells" is "06 Jingle Bells.mp3" on 3 albums so it skips 2 of them as being du
ps.
My library is around 0,000 songs and this format has worked for everything else in the past including MediaSource which dri'ves my CL Wireless Music Adapter. It seems that the Vision:M itself has a shortcoming on the building of the library! It should use some method of cataloging (naming) the tracks on the device so that these dups can be allowed! I see this as a shortcoming of the device software. Since the device catalog is built using artist and album info it should be able to also handle these dup song titles. W3

Another problem solved. I've switched to using Windows Explorer to manage the Vision:M content. Using Explorer I can copy the folders as they exist on the PC to the Music folder on the Vision:M. Now no problems with multiple albums having dup'd song titles because they're in their own folders under the Music folder. This will hopefully help others with large music libraries where dup'd song title file names exist on multiple albums. W3

Zen vision: M 60gb leather c

hi?just bought a Zen vision:M 60 GB. It's cool and everything. I need to protect it but the accessories for it is not available especially leather case and silicone skin. When it is available.

[size="2" face="Verdana">The DLO Action Jacket for Vision:M does not work with the 60GB Vision:M. Even though the case stretches, it causes the buttons of the player to be continually depressed, rendering the player useless. So my suspicion is that any case not specifically designed for the slightly thicker 60GB player will have the same problem. Here's the dimensions of the players:?[size="" face="Verdana">30GB - 04 x 62 x 8.6mm
60GB - 04 x 62 x 22.mm?[size="2" face="Verdana">You can see the 60GB is 3.5mm thicker, which?is about /8th of an inch.[size="2" face="Verdana">?[size="2" face="Verdana">I would personally stay away from all Vision:M cases out there that are advertised without a capacity (as just a "Vision:M" case) or as a dual-purpose 30GB/60GB case.

Preloaded Music on Vision M 60GB - List or link to re-download anybody?

Does anybody have a listing of the songs that came preloaded on the 60GB Vision M? Some were rather naff, but there were a few that I kinda enjoyed listening to.
Anybody have a link to them; was able to re-download the original images, but haven't been able to find the songs.
Thanks!

Creative Zen Vision M 60GB Questions-Future Ow

Hi, Well I used to have a 4th Generation iPod and recently it crapped out on me and now with the new and "improved" iTunes 7 I have decided to never go to Apple again.
Now the only thing on my mind is the ZVM, With its capabilities to play many types of video codecs makes it far more easy for me so I dont have to do a whole lot of conversions compared to if I were to get a iPod 5th generation.
I was thinking that I would get pretty close to filling the 30GB up to the max if I got lazy about trying to keep things in order so I looked at the next best thing, the 60GB. Now for the questions, The only reliable place I have found that sell the 60GB is Newegg.com, but they sell it for 275, barely 25-35 more than some other stores that sell the 30GB(Newegg is selling the 30GB for 249), 30 bucks more for double storage?!? Instincts are telling me that it sounds too good to be true. How much bigger in dimensions is the 60GB compared to the 30GB? On neweggs site the dimensions seem suspicious because not just the width is bigger but all the dimensions are bigger on the 60GB, Is that correct? Can someone tell me the correct dimensions? Now lets say I do get it, can anyone name a really popular/good case for the 60GB and possible where I could buy it's
Thanks in advance.

Well, to answer your question, I just bought the new 60GB Zen Vision M from newegg.com after comparing many sites it is in fact the cheapest. I could hardly believe my eyes too at first, but new that they are a reputible store and decided to go for it. The specifications they have are indeed correct. The new 60GB Zen Vision M is slightly thicker than the 30GB model, but not as drastic as everyone (especially all the ipod fanboys) are claiming! I actually don't mind it at all because it feels sturdy and is still small enough to fit into a shirtpockrt. Unfortunatley though, as of yet, there are no cases available to fit this slightly bigger unit. I hope Creative gets on the ball soon and fixes this by the holidays because I would hate to have my brand new expensi've investment get all dingy looking so soon. Oh well, at least I still have the UGLY pouch it comes with. But this is the coolest machine I have ever had the pleasure of owning so far, I have downloded over 300 cd's from my collection and 5 movies (in several formats) flawlessly and still have almost 38 GB left!!! This machine is worth every penny and at 30$ cheaper than the 30GB price (at the time it was rolled out, and not much more than what it is going for now) it is a no brainer! The people who complain about creative devices being "bricks" are probably the same people who have phones that are the size of sticks of gum! You can keep your inferior Ipods, I will enjoy my better screen, more features, and cheaper price and laugh at the people who get sold on the ipod fad...

Zen Vision M 60gb 600$ !?!?!?!?

ok so i located a website from creative that is the only place in the world that sells the 60gb ZVM and everything on the website is WAY overpriced what is up with that heres the website to look at it... sg.store.creative.com i figured the ZVM would be lik 400 cause the 30gb is only 300 or 250 some places but the 30 gb is 350 and the 60gb is 600 and i really dont want an ipod i want a zen GRR creative GRR :angry:

he was checking on the singapre site. the singapore site has everything in singapore dollars not us or uk.
He seems to be talking in US dollars when he says that in some places the 30GB is $250 or $300.
