Are Creative MP3 Players compatiable w/ Ma

Hi.
I am thinking of purchasing an Apple Powerbook for college. I have heard amazing things about Creative products and their MP3 PLayers and I am currently deciding between Creative and and Ipod. If I got the Creative one, would it be compatiable with the Mac if I decide to get it's
Thanks!

Creative players aren't officially supported on Mac, but there are third-party programs floating around that will allow you to connect a Creative to a Mac. Do a search in this forum and you will probably find some.

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!

What is Bookmarking?
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.
Bookmarking allows the MP3 device to continue where you left off listening when either switching tracks or turning off the device.
WARNING:
I have discovered two types of bookmarking that I call
.) firmware bookmarking - MP3 players that will bookmark ALL file types
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.
For example:
Creative 28 MuVo has firmware bookmarking capabilities and works on ALL my audiofilesSanDisk
Sanza e40 software bookmarks audiobook files from Audible.com.
HP IPAQ software bookmarks audibooks from Audible.com.

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.)

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:
http://www.nomadworld.com/products/i...mchart_PDE.pdf
It doesn't include every model but it's an example of what I'd like to see.

Using creative mp3 players with apple m

hi, i was wondering if you can use creative mp3 players with apple mac computers? i tried using the installation disc with my powerbook but it didnt autorun and i couldn't find a way of starting it up.
any help is much appreciated.
rossco

sorry guys i thought i had already read through the FAQ post but i see it answers my question pretty much.

Explanation - Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ?

Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ? After all, IAS 8I/9I does contain a "database" in it -- but Oracle calls it a "data cache" !!
Here's why ...
The IAS 8I/9I "data cache" is intended to be a "performance enhancment" mechanism to avoid network round trips to the back end rdbms (called the 'origin' database in IAS terminology) for "rarely changing" data or application code accessed/used in the IAS 8I/9I mid-tier.
The IAS "data cache" was initially extracted from rdbms 8.1.6 to use in IAS 8i (aka IAS 1.0.0 or 1.0.1) and now rdbms 8.1.7 to use in IAS 9i (formerly referred to as IAS 1.0.2).
This was because the complete architecture and functionality needed to provide the IAS 9i's "performance enhancing read only" cache functionality already exists in the oracle 8i rdbms.
(talk about o-o wanting to have high reusability !!)
How about a practical application of why would you do this ??
Think of the web site activity of a major online order system, for example, a ".com" that sells books. We can all think of the famous ones who would be ideal users of this type of design.
Most of the transaction activity in an online order system is customers "browsing" the product catalog, looking at the
descriptions of the books they might consider to buy. When a customer identifies a desired book, the customer can place an order.
This typical customer behavior looks at the description for each book which is "rarely changing" information that is normally accessed in a "read only" mode.
To improve performance for this online order system, the "rarely changing" information can be stored (or "cached") on the mid-tier in IAS 8i/9i's "data cache".
How do this improve performance ??
With the information available in the mid-tier "data cache", network roundtrips by IAS 8i/9I applications to the 'origin' rdbms are avoided, reducing the workload on the network and the 'origin' rdbms.
Why do i still need a back-end or 'origin' rdbms along with ias 9i ?
You still need the 'origin" database as the "master repository" for your books, their inventory system, and orders placed with your business.
You also have the other necessary business systems they may or may not take advantage of the IAS design -- like shipping, payroll, Human Resources, etc.
What happens if the data changes ?
I kept repeating "read only" -- so - the next question is what do you do with "new or changing" data - like placing an order or updating the inventory ?
Since the "master copy" of the information is retained on the origin rdbms, then all changes will occur there.
When a new book is added or an existing book's information is updated or a book is dropped from the inventory, these changes are applied to the origin database.
This information is then "refreshed" on the IAS 8I/9I "data cache" using the "management policies" available within IAS 8I/9I.
These policies controls how and when to "refresh" the IAS 8I/9I data cache.

In the following document:
1) "Oracle9i Application Server Technical White Paper" located at :
http://technet.oracle.com/products/ias/pdf/9ias_102.pdf
don -- right
At the bottom of page 16 and the top of page 17 is the following....
'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
don -- right --- new name is Enterprise Java Engine (EJE)
'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database ...'. '
don -- almost right -- you left the key phrase off of it ...
it is completed as follows : (CAPS - are mine for emphasis)
'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database FOR EXECUTING JAVA BASED APPLICATIONS ON THE SERVER'. '
STEVE --
that's why i made the comment in the previous post which i've copied below :
I don't think of it as a "database" even though some literature might refer to it as one in IAS 9i standard edition !!
The term "database" has a lot of extra functions with it that are not in IAS 8i/9i!!
for example, most RDBMS's have :
1) updateable tables, etc.
2) backup and recovery of data requirements
3) etc.
That's what makes the EJE in IAS different from an RDBMS -- the extra rdbms functrions are not needed...
That's why I think of it as a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) in it. I was stuck on this also - now i can mentally exclude all of that extra functionality by calling it a "java code container" and not thinking of it as a "database".
Since Oracle JVM is the common Java environment for both the Oracle database and Oracle9i AS,...'.
The above gave me the impression that 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database.
don -- 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database -- they are the same item -- a "stripped down" database or as i call it a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) -- formerly called the oracle 8i jvm -- in it.
i think the term "database" in the literature is being used to emphasize where it came from (stable oracle 8i -- as opposed to totally new technology)
but
i personally think the term "database" implies to many people, it is a "fully functional rdbms" ... so they assume they don't need a back end -- or in ias terms -- an 'origin' rdbms.
However -- i think this is where the confusion is ..
as people understand the differences between ias and rdbms, they soon realize they must have an rdbms.
However, the administrative instructions (that deal with setting up OSE) seem to point that the JVM is in a database.
don -- right -- it is a "stripped down" database or a a "Java Code Container" as i call it.
you still need to deploy the java code (servlets, jsp's, ejb's, corba, and java stored procs) to it.
The command line functions that you use to do that with the 8.1.7 rdbms -- still apply.
Commands like :
loadjava, deployejb, dropjava, sess_sh, publishjsp, publishservlet, etc.
Note :
Obviously ias 8i "EJE" or ORACLE 8i JVM (the old name), is based upon the rdbms 816 functions (no OSE in it), so you can't deploy servlets and jsp's to the ias 8i EJE just like you can't to the 816 rdbms.
I do find this subject (where is the JVM located) very confusing.
don - right -- but you are picking it up -- hang in there !!
Steve you asked --
Don - is the EJE (OSE/OJVM) implemented through a database?
'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
don - right
keep in mind from a java perspective -- the EJE is a "Stripped down" database that acts like a java code container that you connect to -- just like in 817 --- so you can deploy your code to it.
it's also a jvm -- and you execute your deployed java code in it -- just like in 817.
i hope this helps and i didn't confuse this topic further for you ...

Urgently need help with this

Hi!!
I urgently need help with this:

but I have this end tag in my file, but when I try to switch from source view to desgin view it says, that: >/mx:Script> expected to terminate element at line 71, this is right at the end of the .mxml file. I have actionscript(.as) file for scripting data.

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

Device Stage and Creative MP3 players?

Will Creative support the Device Stage feature on Windows7 for their mp3 players? im just curious about this.

+thanks,is there a way to limit song searches to DRM free songs?+
Yes. The easiest way would be to do your online shopping at stores that *only sell DRM-free songs!* That includes amazon.com and audiolunchbox.com. The sell in MP3 format, which is fully compatible with both an iPod and a Creative. And no DRM in sight.
There are other stores that sell a mix of DRM and DRM-free songs, and if you shop at one of them you will need to be very attentive. That includes the iTunes Music Store, walmart.com, and the Zune Marketplace. For example, in the iTunes Music Store you would watch for the Plus sign which indicates DRM-free.

Why are creative MP3 players so successful?(URGENT!! NEED HELP)
