Windows Me media source lock

I have recently installed Creative media source on Windows ME
I am experiencing a problem in Ripping from CD to the HD.
The MoVo N200 is not connected to the USB as i am only trying to Rip to the Hrad dri've
when I hit the RIP button the transfer window appaers with 0% complete, It stays at 0% ( probably for ever ). if I delete at this point the transfer window locks up and just responds with a Bing noise.
I can paly CDs from Media source but the Ripping action does not work.
Any thougts would be appreciated
Thanks,
Andy T

It's either a problem with MediaSource, or a more general problem with Windows. Try installing some other ripping software (some favourites are listed here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net) and see if these work. This will identify at least where the problem lies.

What is better creative media source or Windows media player?

Hey I just bought a new Zen player, and I noticed while ripping and uploading songs that the album art does not come along with it if I'm using the creative media source software. Now if I use my windows media player that came with my vista computer I do get the album art. So now my question is if Creative media source can't even do this simple task what is the benefit of using creative's media source? Are there things that it can do that windows media player can't do? Which is a better product to use? :smileyindifferent:angry:

And I guess another benefit to creative mediasource is converting video files for playback on the zen. Windows media player I don't think has a converter for video files for the zen.
That is part of the Creative Media Explorer not MediaSource. The Video Converter is slooow & not that great. I do use the Media Explorer it is better for making & editing playlists.

Creative Media Source + Windows XP Media Cen

I have always used the Creative Media Source as an audio player and as a method of creating playlists etc.
I just recieved a New Dell XPS400 with a Dell installed Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Music card. This machine has WinXP Media Center Edition installed as an operating system, for which I did a clean re-install. In reistalling the software from the Creative disk that was supplied with the computer I noticed that Creative Media Source was not included as part of the package. I further noticed that the in the download section of the website that this isn't an available download for the Win XP Media Center OS, even though it is available for Win XP Home edition.
Is there a compatibility problem in using the Creative Media Source with this OS ? Is there a conflict with the other Creative software that is typically installed with this card? In case it makes a difference; in playing back wav and mp3 audio files I am not interested in opening up the Win Media Center interface in order to play those files or create playlists, I simply want to associate those audio files to open and play with the Creative Media Source as I have always done with previous versions of Windows XP.
Thanks for any advice and clearification !

Hi m8. Just install the Windows XP version (Professional), and it will work, as I use Creative Media Source with Windows Media Center 2005, no problems. After, try the "product update" under support on the creative site, to see if there are any new things to update, just incase.

How do you Interface Zen Vision M with Creative Media Source 5 in WIndows XP?

I am having problems getting the Zen Vision M player to interface with Creative Media Source5 in Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
It does show up in the Device Manager System as a Portable Device and shows it working correctly.
When I try to download one of the updates for Media Source 5 it will not install "player not found message"
So now how do I get it to work with the Creative Media Source? It does not show this player at all.
Just a note: I did get this player to work in Vista 64 and interface with Creative Media Source 5 but could not download Creative Explorer with Vista 64.

Well thanks again!!! I must have downloaded the wrong file think it was the 38 version. I downloaded the 36 version and it works great!!!
I think everything is working on both computers. Im glad because I bought another Vision M from someone on HardForum.
One of the two might work for a Christmas present for my wife. Now we can get rid of our old Rio Players.

Can not activate EAX and SVM Support in Media Source Organizer with Audigy2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please there must be somebody out there able to me!Ive got an Audigy2 SB0240 (driver: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe)? and Media Source (CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe) Windows XP Pro SP2So after the CORRECT Installation and?Updates to the actuall securely workable Versions by Creative Auto Update the Media Source Player/Organizerit is not able to let me use EAX or SVM. The well known error message: "there is no audio device detected" appears after pressing Ctrl E.Each process of is own (Soundcard and all the Creative Softwarestuff) is working absolutely correct so far. Ive tryed driver cleansweeping, deinstalltion of all Creative stuff, even by Driver Cleaner Pro, Ived pulled the Soundcard out of the system during?deinstalltion and tryed any driver version (from CD and Internet)and Installation description procedures which I could find here at the forum, during the whole last days!?But there is no way. Is there someone, who knows what to do? I would be very happy if?it works. Thanks for your attention and help.

TheDarkSide,
Actually what is happening is that MediaSource does not support the Audigy card. The EAX and SVM buttons require the EAX console and capabilities of the Audigy 2 or cards that were designed for MediaSource. The way that EAX was handled and implemented was changed between the Audigy and Audigy 2 and this is why MediaSource doesn't support the EAX capabilities of the Audigy directly. You can still modify the EAX settings from within EAX console for the Audigy but it isn't integrated into MediaSource like it is with Playcenter.

How to share iPhoto library with Windows 7 Media Center?

Is there a way to share an iPhoto library over a local network with a Windows 7 Media Center PC? I have a Mac Pro that has my iPhoto library [about 9,500 pictures and about a hundred videos] which is about 70GB. I also have a Windows 7 PC connected to my plasma TV for media, most of which is drawn from a 5TB NAS. Ideally, I'd like a way for my Mac Pro to keep a copy of the photos and videos on the NAS [the original should stay on the Mac Pro] without requiring me to manually copy over the new photos.
My understanding is that iPhoto isn't designed to do any type of cross-platform sharing whatsoever, but hopefully I'm wrong. I would definitely appreciate any help; thank you!

Thanks for your input, Terence Devlin. At this point, I'm not even looking for a cross-platform media server application. I'm looking for (and wondering why iPhoto doesn't have) a way for us to use iPhoto in a way that it already functions.
What I mean by locking you in is that Apple is saying, if you do it our way, (iPhoto/iTunes/iPhone/iPod) you can get the functionality you want, but even within that ecosystem, it's inconsistent. Like I mentioned previously, syncing photos to your iPhone/iPod Touch through iTunes gets you all the photos organized by events. And clearly, iTunes/iPhoto is capable of reading the iPhoto database, and pulling out the photos and organizing them by events. Yet we can't do it from iPhoto itself. And that's not even getting into Apple saying Spotlight on the iPhone searches through everything...except photos...even though with iPhoto '09 they're encouraging us to tag faces and places...I just think it's odd/a shame that Apple is hiding existing functionality from its users.
At any rate, I will be giving that other application a try.
(p.s. you can't "aggregate out" something and get something smaller; aggregate as a verb means to gather together or sum up, and as a noun means the total or summation.)

Premiere Pro CC won't read media source timecode?

We recently switched over some of our editing systems to Premiere Pro CC, but for some reason Premiere Pro CC isn't reading the timecode from our source footage. It works fine in CS6 and CS5, but on each of the CC systems, even though the timecode preference is set to "Use Media Source" the timecode that is displayed in the project window, the source window and even in the timeline with a timecode window effect added and set to media, the time code that is displayed starts from 0 as though it's set for "generate" or in preferences, "Start From 00:00:00:00."
All of our source footage is recorded on XDCam or DVCPro 100 and we've been using Premiere since CS5 without issue. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can you upload a short clip somewhere for us to take a look at?
BTW, exactly which version of CC are you on?

Media Source no longer op

I have the Zen Touch 20Gig and love it to bits - fabulous sound quality but, and it;'s a BIG but I too long for the FIRMWARE UPGRADE to allow it to be used with NAPSTER TO GO!!
Here is the problem though........
I have downloaded some software upgrades from the Creative site, and, I think this has been the trigger for Creative Media Source no longer opening when I click on to it!
I also have Notmad by Red Chair and this is working fine, but the problem with that program is that I don't think you can access Internet based Track Information (CDDB).
Can anyone tell me how to get Media SOurce to work?
I have completely uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled to no avail.
Alternati'vely, does anyone know ho I can automatically label CD tracks when using the more versatile NOTMAD software which is still well worth the $25 reg fee, because of the ase of playing tracks from the MP3 player on WMP0.

A window opens saying that MediaSource has "encountered a problem and will close" - clicking on the tech report it lists a load of error messages none of which mean anything to me! I have uninstalled programe again, and on instruction from someone at Support at Creative have deleted what was left in the Creative folder in Windows - although 3 or 4 .dll files would nt delete at all.
I am just about to reinstall 3 files from the Creative Donload site, on recommendation from them -
Is there any other way I can get Track Data off sites like Gracenote using Notmad - then I would not need to use MediaSource at all???
Thanks for your interest, I am leaving to go to Sicily for a week at 0500 GMT 0 September for a holiday with my wife -bit if do reply tnight I'll see it,

MP3s won't play correctly in Media Sourc

I just downloaded Media Source 5 (5.0.38) for my Zen. I have discovered quite a few of my previously ripped MP3 suddenly don't play right. They played great in 3.30.2 and still do.
I ripped all of these myself several years ago. A single version of MusicMatch was used to do all the ripping, hundreds of CDs.
I've discovered this pattern. If one track of a CD is wrong, all tracks from that CD play wrong. Otherwise all tracks of the CD play perfectly.
With Media Source 5, when I start play on a bad track, the progress bar zooms across at about 0 times normal speed. When it gets to the right end, playing stops, despite the song being far from finished.
So I tried the MS Media Player. Also bizarre behavior. The bar shoots across just as fast, but the song doesn't stop with the bar hits the right.
Media Source 3 always works correctly on all mp3 files. Trying to find a pattern, I tried other mp3 players. Here is that result:
These are the ones that play it correctly:
Creative MediaSource 3
Nero Showtime
MusicMatch
PowerDVD
Garmin GPS
Wrong:
Creative MediaSource and mp3 player 5
MS Media Player
Based on the above pattern it doesn't make sense to be that just some CDs could be "damaged", since either all tracks or none of a CD are "bad". Also, the same program was used to rip them all. They play fine on most players, just not MediaSource 5 and MS Media Player .
Has anyone ever heard of this? It there anyone here that can examine a sample file and figure out what's "wrong" with it's My purpose here is to discover whether this is a player problem or something else. MediaSource could be using a Windows resource to play mp3 files which would explain why both it and Media Player both fail.
Thanks.
Bruce.

Creative Media Source won't display tracks on Zen Mi

When I hook up my Zen Micro, Media Source displays the music on the?Zen Micro in folders named by artist. Sub folders contain albums by that artist. The next sub foolders display track names. Can I change the settings so all of my tracks are shown as one list when I first choose the Zen Micro.

I have been chatting to some others and it appears that it isn't a WMP problem. Having seen a thread re: Zen synch, I tried to play the music through the Creative player but the Zen is not detected on that either.
In Windows XP I can see the Zen when I dock it, and I can see it in WMP, but it is not visible in the Creative Player?
Any ideas, is it a case of uninstalling the Creative software?

Creative Media Source Player not fo

Hi... I am lost & confused!!!! I purchased a new hard dri've & motherboard. I reinstalled my audigy 2zs card & loaded the install disk. To my suprise media player did not load...in fact I can't even find it on the original install disk!! I used the media player all the time and even plugged in my old hard dri've and behold..media player was on that hard dri've!! Can anybody tell me why it is not appearing on the original install disk whenin fact it was there when I loaded it the first time I purchased the card? It appears everything else will load off the install disk EXCEPT media source player.

There are differences in the details of how the various Creative soundcards work, and it would help me if I knew which one you have. I get the impression it came in the computer, and you don't actually know the answer. Where exactly are you trying to select what u hear? The Creative Media Source Player program (I've not used it, but it seems odd for a "player" program to do recording)? The mixer program? Which mixer, Windows or Creative's?

MicroPhoto Media Source is

I previously had a 5gig Zen Micro and just upgraded to a Photo. I installed all the stuff from the new CD, but now when I use Media Source, there are no Artist and Album window panes as there were with my Zen Micro. This makes it a big pain in the butt to sort through my files and make playlists. Is there any way to get these back? I could not find a way to do it. The weird part is that they show up when I view the music on my computer.

That is what I thought, but I was hoping there was another way.
Creative - The other way was easier and worked better. Having to jump through folders is a pain. What makes it wordse was that they were in folders on my computer, but when I uploaded them, they did ot show up in folders. When dealing with 700 songs, this is a pain.

Media source Volume Cont

This is probably a really dumb question, but is there any way to stop the volume control in mediasource from changing the volume for everything? I have mediasource playing music and another piece of software such as a game making noise. I'd like to have the music reduce in volume, but for the life of me I cannot find an option to do so.
Ta in advance.

Hi !
I just tried the volume thing with Creative Media Source and In fact it does change the System Volume/ I looked in the options and there's no way to fix it. But on the advanced volume window, there's a category called "Wave Sound". You can adjust this one without interfering with Creative MediaSource volume.
Hope it'll help...

Media source webupd

I tried to install the web update of media source, version 3.30.2 for my zen micro, but it didn't works. I uninstalled all components (micro, media source) from my system and installed it again, but the web update won't work. Before and after the new installation the windows installer (or what ever) search for installed components and find nothing and crashed so i have to reset the computer. Creative systeminformation tells me all components are installed. Also the software update-function didn't work since some time. In any other way my media source 3.0.09 worked fine, but i had downloaded the huge update and i want to use it. Someone an idea what i can do?

Thanks, but I had done what you write at the beginning of the hole process, but nothing worked. I had delete all creative keys in registry after uninstallation. Then I installed the original version of the creative cd and run the update without success. The problem is, that i can never update my media source in future, i think.

Media Source v3.30.21 does not see "Z

I've downloaded Media Source v3.30.2 and installed it but it seems as if he does not see the Zen player.
On the right screen appears the "Music bibliotheek and My computer" but not the Player itself.....to transfer music tracks to and from your Creative portable music player
The wright drivers are installed (Windows sees the Nomad Zen Player wen connected)
What's wrong?
Thx.

You also need to install the MediaSource plugin for your Zen. Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
