Which software do you use to directly edit tags on your MP3 pla

Hi all,
I recently bought a Creative Zen PhotoMicro. I'm very happy with it.
Due to my old home computer (with 8gb hard dri've...) I'm storing all my MP3 collection on several CD-Rs. I have transferred the MP3-files directly to my Zen via drag-'n-drop in Windows Explorer.
Recently I have discovered some mistakes in a lot ID3 tags of my MP3-files on my Zen. With the freeware application MediaMonkey it seems i can edit the tags just like I want to, but after reloading an album folder the changes weren't committed to my Zen.
With the Creative software suite it is possible to edit some the tags in batch, like Genre, Album and Artist names, but I need more clever tricks to update my tags (which Mediamonkey supports, but that doesn;t work...)
Anyone has a good working piece of software which is capable of batch processing ID3 tags on your Creative MP3 player? Please share your thoughts.
Sappollo

And also MediaMonkey does work, you just have to hit "ctrl-s" to sync up the changes made within MediaMonkey to actually adjust the files.

A few quick questions about my new MP3 pla

Ok, I like to get to know anything I buy so I decided to come here and ask, I hope you dont mind answering (My MP3 player is the MuVo c00):
) In the instruction manual it says that play WMA file reduce the battery life of your player. Since converting them reduces the size by a fair bit I was wondering if the reduced battery life was worth it and how much it reduces the battery life.
2) When is a good time to replace the bettery in my player? Should I wait for it to completly die or what because I dont want to go replacing batteries 3 quarters full.
3) Is there any sound or quality differences between MP3 format and WMA?
4) Is the program that came with the player the best thing to add music with or would buying something else do the trick or even just copy and paste?
5) Finally, how do you attach the neck strap? I dont see any place where it could go unless you have to attach it with the arm band on it.
Thanks for your help and I might have some more question but untill further notice this is all I have and again thaks for your time.

. You have to bear in mind this is for an equivalent MP3 e.g. a 28 kbit/s encoded WMA is going to use more power than a 28 kbit/s MP3. Normally WMAs are encoded at a lower rate anyway, hence will use less power. There are many factors that affect battery usage.
2. Wait for it to go flat.
3. Complex answer. In general WMA is used when you want more space and aren't so worried about quality, at the 64 - 28 kbit/s range. MP3s (using the LAME encoder) are better at the higher bit-rates of 92 kbit/s. The bottom line is try a few different bit-rates for both MP3 and WMA, take a listen, and decide for yourself.
4. With the MuVo it's very easy, just use Windows Explorer to copy files. I wouldn't buy any other software, unless you find something you really like to create MP3/WMA files.
5. Not sure on this one...

Some WMA files returning "invalid file" error when I try to transfer them to my MP3 pla

Hello! I'm having a new problem with my Zen Micro this week. I have been using Walmart.com's music download service for a year or so now and have never had a problem with their files. All of a sudden this week, 2/3rds of the files I have downloaded will not transfer to my MP3 player. When I try to import them, the Zen Micro returns an error saying they are "invalid" files. Some files transfer fine -- others give me this error. I talked to Walmart about this and they said it's a problem with my MP3 player. Does anybody know what might be causing this? Should I be trying an upgrade to my Media Explorer program, or something like that?
Thanks for any advice you can offer (and yes, I know Walmart is run by *******s, but at least they don't make me download a huge application before I can buy online music from them!).
--Meg

I had similar problems with downloads before I upgraded to PlaysForSure. Even though in theory you don't need PlaysForSure for pay as you go downloads, in practice the complex rights built into the music mean that it is the only guarantee that downloaded music will play for sure and correctly on your player. I would recommend upgrading to PlaysForSure firmware from the 'downloads' section of this website (you need windows xp service pack 2 and windows media player 0 first). Make sure you back up your music if possible first as all content will be erased when you upgrade firmware. You will then need to download the software suite for PlaysForSure zen micros to get MediaSource and MediaExplorer.

Transferring Songs from Computer to MP3 Pla

I bought a creative zen sleek photo last July and it always takes me awhile to put new songs on it as I have to drag and drop or to rip a CD. So I was wondering if creative had anything like itunes where you could have all of your music on your computer on a program and then to update your mp3 player you could eaily plug it into the computer and then quickly update it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!!

How are you putting songs on it at the moment? Which application are you using? The player comes with MediaSource which is an application you can use to transfer content to the player, if you have a large amount of music it'll just queue them for transfer and go through the list. If you have ripped a CD, then you can save it on your harddri've so you don't have to rip it again in future.

Unrecognized mp3 pla

Hello, this is the first time on the board and I have a very taxking problem. To start I am running windows xp svc pak3. 3.2mhz 2.5gb of memory, 300gm hard dri've with 65% free and a second hd of 250gb. I have plenty of speed and memory.
I have a Creative ZEN Xtra, NOMAD Jukebox 40gb mp3 player.
Everything started when I tried to syncronize my mp3 player with my (NEW) computer. I forgot to put the Jukebox program on the computer. Then could not find the original disk. I went online and downloaded the updated firmware and software, then connected the mp3 player to the computer. Windows xp recognized the mp3 player but the Creative Organizer did not detect the mp3 player.
I tried following instructions to upgrade the firmware, which I believe I did ok, but Creative software still did not recognize the mp3 player.
Then I screwed up! The only window I had on the mp3 player was the "Rescue Mode" so I tried (one at a time) the different options. . Clean up, 2. Format All, 3. Reload OS and 4. Reboot. So the music is gone (I have it on the computer though) and no matter what I do I can not get the Creative Program to detect the mp3 player. When I connect it to the computer, windows recognizes it and wants to know if I want to syncronize.
When I turn the MP3 player on (not connected to the computer) I get on screen that goes away to fast for me to read it, and then goes to the Rescue Mode window. When I connect it to the computer? the Rescue Mode window changes to an icon indicating that there is data being passed between the mp3 player and the computer.
Another bit on info, Creative tech support has been trying to help, by haveing me? download firmware and mp3 recovery tools, but unless the mp3 recovery tool program can recognized my mp3 player it is no use.
Now does anyone have any ideas, and does anyone know of a reputable repair shop for this mp3 player (preferably in the Dallas/Ft Worth TX area).
Thanks
Richard

You have used the player on this computer before? When did you install service pak3. I believe that may be your problem? Check to see if WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER is installed on the new one. If you have access to a different computer running Xp Service Pak2 it will be easier to remedy the problem. What firmware was on the player prior to the problem & are you SURE you got the correct driver from the website as it is not as easy as going to the page & finding your player. (Down in the bottom right of the page for your player there is a box that says Manual Selection with 3 drop boxes ) you choose you O.S 2)Language 3)all or firmware ,drivers ,app. then Submit. If you didn't go through those steps before downloading you Don't have all you needed.)http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=6893#M28836Just so you know the new service pack is diffently an issue read this thread in order for you to updater the firmware one ket thing is you need service pack2 and the driver and had you EVER updated the firmware prior or was it the original.

I really need help with my creative MuVo N200 mp3 pla

i got my MuVo N200 mp3 player for chirtmas of last year, and it stopped working in 3 months. it used to shut off every few minutes and the mic doesnt work any more and i cant record music from the radio. right now it doesnt even work for a minute, it shuts off as soon as i try and turn it on. i emailed creative when it first started happening and they sent me a email saying what to do on there website, something about downloading something. i tryed it and it didnt work, im not sure if i didnt do it right. And right now i have no idea what to do. and creative won't help me unless i pay them money to fix it for me which im not about to do. has anyone have the same problem with the MuVo N200 mp3 player? what am i suppose to do to fix it's I still have there email telling me what to do, but i just dont get how to do it and if it will work. It only worked for me 3 months, and now im mad and thinking about buying a new one thats not from creative but i really want to try fixing it again to see if it will work. please help me.

Good question, unfortunately I have absolutely no idea. Reflashing/-formatting generally takes care of the usual cases of wonkyness this player develops, and there isn't anything more drastic you as a user could do.
Do you have a directory named "Recorded Tracks" on your player? Should be created automatically, but if it isn't you could try creating it manually...

Problem transferring files from PC to MP3 pla

I recently have had problems transferring music from my computer to my Zen Touch.
I am using firmware version .0.03 Zen Touch and version 2.02.05 of Creative MediaSource Organizer. I have been able to transfer files perfectly fine for years up until a few days ago. When attempting to transfer an album, I get the following two error messages:
"Error: unable to download file. This file format is invalid."
"Error: There is not enough disk space at the destination for this
transfer."
The first error baffles me. Every file is in mp3 format and plays fine on my computer. I have no explanation as to why I am getting this error except that my Zen Touch is dieing. :-(
I have figured out the reason for the second error but I have absolutely no clue why it happens. When transferring the mp3s, the album folder grows to a ridiculous size. A 90 MB folder got changed to 9.23 GB!!!! Half of the songs on the album became -2 GBs each while the other half remained normal and completely unchanged. The songs that were greatly increased in file size still played fine on my PC however there would be 000s of minutes of static following the song.
The music already on my mp3 player still plays fine. The only problems I have been having is with the transferring of new music to the player.
So, I'm hoping someone has experienced this issue and has been able to fix it.
Thanks.

Can anyone help me with this or should I just give up on my Zen Touch?

New MP3 Pla

I've been researching prices for MP3 Players. Thanks to Cat I decided to buy myself a new MP3 player, but I'm not sure what one I want. I don't have a large amount of music, but I want the space to hold more then 40-50 from my 256 MB TX FM but I don't know exactly what one.
I looked up the Zen Nano or Zen Nano Plus, looked at their prices and figured they were pretty good in CAN dollars, little less without taxes then what I payed for my 256 on eBay, with about the space I want, but I haven't found any reveiws. If anyone has any reveiws on it, lemme know.
Again, Thanks in Advance
Kaez

For reviews go to amazon.com and do a search for your player. Lots of comments from a lot of people who have actually purchased the player.
Another place for reviews is pcworld.com
I just ordered a new Creative Zen Nano Plus GB in pink for $69.99US (no shipping, no tax) from amazon.com. If you are ordering from amazon, make sure your player is coming from them, not a third party seller. This way you will have a warranty. Keep your receipt.
Best wishes,

Trouble with MuVo mp3 pla

I downloaded music to my new MuVo mp3 player but the player says there's no music on it. When I plug the mp3 player into the computer, I can see all the songs I downloaded but when I turn on the player - the message is no music. Please help. I can't wait to start enjoying listening to music everywhere I go. Thanks

Are the songs in the right format? I assume the muvo is compatable with mp3/.wma/.wav Are your songs in those formats? I have a muvo tx fm 256mb and those are pretty much the files that I think it supports. Are your songs in those forms?

Ideas for revolutionised mp3 pla

I have always dreamed about my mp3 player with bluetooth support. Imagine, exchaging mp3 on the bus , exchanging mp3 with your friends - That will be totally awesome. How about putting bluetooth into your mp3 players ? What do you think ?
Just my 2 cents

Awesome for us, yes, but the RIAA would pitch a hissy fit and slap the manufacturer with a huge lawsuit. Sadly, I think this one might have to remain filed under "wishful thinking."

Need new MP3 pla

Well my 30gb Zen Xtra MP3 player just became a paperweight today- It had been a year and a half since i bought it used so it li'ved a full life. Unfortunately it died with my 0gb of music, 2gb of videos, and other random things (as data). Sad loss- Should have backed up.
Anyway, I'm looking for a new MP3/4 player.. any suggestions? I want something that had a similar interface to my Xtra (with the playlists on the go, unsure if thats rare nowdays), also preferably much smaller. Under $200?Message Edited by gizmofo on 04-30-200707:20 PM
Im looking at the Zen vision:m which Newegg is listing for 75 after rebate.. good buy?Message Edited by gizmofo on 04-30-200707:29 PM

Hi Gizmofo!
What are your requirements for a player? Essentially, how much space do you need? What features do you want? Do you want to be able to play video, or is it more important that the player is small?
The Zen Vision:M would definitely be a good choice. If you want something a big smaller, check out the Zen V Plus. The interface on both is similar, and both do playlists on the go.

NOMAD MUVO2 MP3 PLA

My MP3 player is in recovery mode v.00 but my PC is unable to detect it and I can't access all the options under the recovery mode. Each time? the word "media error" will appear. Can some kind person tells me what I can do?Florence

That error usually indicate there's some problem with the storage device in the player. Your best option now is to contact Customer Support and see how they can assist you further.

Jogging MP3 Pla

Hey I own a Zen Xtra and I've been told it isn't advisable to excersise (running etc.) with it. I'm looking around to see if creative make a suitable GB or lower capacity mp3 player which I can use for this purpose. Can anybody recommend one?
Thankyou in advance for your input,Matt

I've used my N200 when jogging and the only problem I had was keeping the earphones in.
I've now got some Koss SparkPlug in-ear 'phones and that problem's solved.
If you can still get an N200 try and get one with the armstrap and protecti've case as they're useful for holding the player when jogging.

Experiences w/ the Creative MuVo NX MP3 Pla

About 6 months ago I bought the Creative MuVo NX MP3 Player. Let me say, I love this MP3 Player a lot. It has a nice design, awesome looks, and has a decent ammount of storage space to fit my favorite songs. I noticed that the battery door is really cheap though, and the little notch has broken off. I have had 2 of them (dock things), one broke off in my backpack and the other one in my pocket so I had to resort to taping it. I don't think you will, but I hope you will fix this problem in the near future.
