Zen 20gb software iss

I have had my Zen for approx yr now and its been great. I installed songs from my home computer in australia (98SE) no problems at all but i am now living in the UK and don't have my mediasource software with me but want to load new content to my zen. I'm using a new laptop with XP and have downloaded the mediasource program from the creative website but when i try to install, it can't find my zen. The computer has recognised my device and named it correctly but when i try and install the software the CMS Web Installer coughs up an error msg saying? 'setup is unable to detect a supported device on your system'. I click retry but it does nothing different. Any help out there? I know there is a driver for support for XP but i hear that it wipes all files already on zen, i just want to add songs as the rest of my collection is on my home computer is australia.

stevose,
Be sure to install the driver first, connect the player to the computer for the device to be detected properly before starting MediaSource installation.

Creative Zen Micro Software Iss

I've had my Creative Zen Micro for almost a year now, and I installed the software on my computer. But a couple weeks ago, my family bought a new computer. I've lost the cd to install the zen organizer and I was wondering what I could do?
Am I out of luck? Or is there software I can download to get it on the new computer.
You can send comments to [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
Thanks so much.

Go to Support-> Downloads, and in the list, select your player (MP3 Players, Zen, Zen Micro). Click on Next, then click on Go. Then download these files, and install them in this order:

Zen Touch software iss

I've been trying to install the driver and MediaSource for my Zen Touch onto my Dell laptop from the installation CD, but everytime I start it, it says that it has to shut down for some reason or other. I tried downloading the Creative MediaSource from your website and was able to install it, but now, when I dock my Zen, it never picks it up and allows me to transfer files, etc. What do I do?

In short, you need to:
<FONT face=Helv size=2>
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.

Zen 20GB and why you should just buy an ipod inste

I bought 2 creative zen 20gb players in Singapore about 2 years ago. Now this device is no longer supported by creative and they do not provide links to drivers etc. How hard is it to provide a link to old drivers
Don't get me started on the s**t software that Creative provided with it in the first place. I had to buy a third party application called Notmad explorer because the creative provided software was useless and basically incapable of uploading files to the device.
How about a docking station for your creative MP3 player Forget about it, Creative only provides those for Apple products and not for it's own Creative Zen 20gb.
I will no longer buy creative products or recommend them to anyone.
EPIC FAIL CREATIVE!
Remember when Creative used to make great sound cards
Remember when Ensoniq made leading edge synthesizers
Remember when Emu used to make great synthesizers
What happened !

I'm glad you are happy with you creative gear albinoni. If you bothered to read my post you will notice I didn't compare Creative Mp3 to iPods. I merely pointed out that Creative provides more accessories for iPod's than it does for the Creative product I bought.
The Creative Zen 20gb drivers are not on the Creative website. The "search archi'ves now" is a circular link. Where do you download the drivers

The Zen 20GB firmware is available on the Singapore version of the website. Use the Region / Country selector at the top of the page - don't worry, it's in English!
It also works if you type the model number into the Search box on the Download page (Support, Downloads) - use HD005 not DAP-HD005 though.

Creative Zen 20gb Battery L

I know this has probably been posted before but its difficult to search for "Zen" 20gb because you get zen micros and touch everywhere. I bought my Zen 20gb player last week and today I thought I'd test the battery life because it seems very low. I only used the touch pad once at the start to put albums on the now playing, then I let it play......it lasted only 4hours, without touching the pad once, or skipping a track or anything. After paying 50 pounds for this with a suggested battery life of hours I'm pretty disappointed. Is this a fault or is there any software update for this?Anyone got any pointers?

Did you fully charge the battery after you transferred music to the player?
4 hours seems very low, but check out this page first to see if the advice helps improve the battery life, otherwise I would recommend contacting Customer Support.

Zen 20gb not being recogni

I got my Zen 20gb 3 days ago, installed the software fine, put music on it but now the device is not recognised by the software, however it gets recognised by the computer and the zen also charges. Any one else had a similiar problem or does anyone have any solutions?

What software are you using?

Connected zen 20GB to computer w/o creative

I haven't tried yet, what happened if we connect zen 20GB to computer (windows XP) without creative software in normal mode (not removable disk mode)?. What happen if we disconnect zen 20GB (in removable disk mode) without safely remove hardware first ?txmuzarif

Jason,
Thanks for your reply, actually I connected my zen 20GB to my office computer with linux OS but I use vmware as a emulator to open windows xp, when I disconecting my zen from computer (a removable disk mode) and I already used safely remove hardware in windows xp, my zen screen still indicated do not disconected. I guess that although my zen already interupted/disconnected from windows xp but still connected to linux as OS since I don't know how to safely remove hardware from linux OS and I am not as administrator of that computer, so I just disconnected although my zen screen indicated do not remove hardware. When I doing that my zen look like hang or freeze and I have to restart my zen.
Please help me, is there any safely way for using my zen as removable hard disk in my office with linux OS (and I am not as administrator)? I want my zen as removable hard disk in windows environtment with linux OS as mention above.
Thanks
Zainal

Zen 20gb - Setup is unable to detect a supported device

Trying to install my Zen 20gb (bigger version of the micro!) onto my work-laptop;
Unfotunately I cannot find the original installation disk, but I have downloaded the latest software from the Creative website. When I try to install CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe, I get a message "Setup is unable to detect a supported device...". Immediately before this, the Zen shows Docked, but then reverts back to the Play screen.
I have searched this forum and tried as many different soultions as I can find, all to no avail. I have installed NomadSync and that connects without problem... but why won't the "official" software?

Yep... already tried that. I've even used the Software AutoUpdate that says I need the:
Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8
Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource
... so that is detecting the Zen, but when I try to install Media Source Player/Organizer, it can't detect it!

Zen 20GB (Bla

Hello, I have a major problem! I bought my Zen 20GB from Amazon uk last December and have only just got around to putting all of my CD's on it. I have got quite far with ripping my CD's until now!
The last 40 CD's I have ripped (useing the creative software) show that they have been ripped but when you try to look at them in the player (via the player and the creative explorer though PC) they are simpley not there, but it still shows that it is useing up memory every time I put one on!!!. I have coppied them over to my PC and formatted the player, and tried again but the same thing happenes. So I tried a Disk Cleanup. This left me with 7gb of memory to play with. It let me put one more on sucsessfully then no more! So I tried it a different way. Ripped a CD through WM player, then used the creative explorer software to transfer the newly made WMA file so I could actually see what was going on. It just says "Faled" on every song. I currently have about 3248 cd's ripped onto it with 7037mb of memory left (7gb)
I am computer literate in fact I am a computer operator so I know what I am doing, but am I missing something here? or has the player just given up on me. It works fine apart from that, plays music beatifully.
HEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP MMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE

Thanks, Richard, for your reply. I guessed as much :-)
I found a solution; install the driver in winXP compatibility mode as detailed in this post. Works!!

Zen 20gb Not Connected mess

Hello! Zen 20gb (old type) - had a few problems with it freezing, rebooting didn't cut the mustard so I decided to reinstall the firmware.
Removed the old firmware as per instructions and subsequently the Zen doesn't get recognised as being plugged into my pc to reinstall the firmware. I don't have a separate PC I can use - I've a Mac, but there's no software for the firmware I can download.
Any ideas? I just get 'device not connected' messages everytime I try to open the firmware installer.
Thanks - JimmyRepo

Zen 20GB installat

Hi guys
I have a zen 20gb - http://support.creative.com/Products...me=MP3+Players
Yes it's a brick by today's standards, but it suits me fine! My laptop broke recently though and I lost everything on it, and now can't find the installation disk for my zen. Searching the site above says it's out of date - anyone know anywhere I can find it's I have been able to put music on to it using an older version of Windows media player, but I only have about 5 albums on my computer as i stands and would like to be able to get all my music back on!
Thanks

On the link page go to the bottom right of the page where it says MANUAL SELECTION(they're drop boxes) & choose XP & submit to find all the software.

Cost of replacing a Zen 20GB scr

Hey guys,
I've recently crushed my mp3 player, an old Creative Zen 20GB, and had the screen smashed, it's all black now ! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with sending their mp3 players to repair their screens before, any idea how much something like this would cost in singapore dollars? I don't want to spend a hundred bucks to repair a 2 year old mp3 player. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would presume that the cost of replacement is just the normal cost of the phone - but there is no information to confirm this - that is why I'm a little unclear.
The reason for wanting to know is so I can decide on whether it's worth considering insurance, cases etc. If it's simply a case of buying another iPhone then fair enough - if it turns out that you cannot buy another iPhone without signing up to an additional contract (and so paying two lots of £35 per month) or paying vastly more than the initial purchase price for a replacement, then I would be far more concerned about protecting my iPhone.
Really it's a balance between cost of insurance vs risking it, and the bulkiness and inconvenience of using a case vs increased risk of damage.

Zen 20GB (like the micro) Firmw

Hi,
I have a 20gb ZEN (the one like the micro) with version .00.02firmware and was looking for the upgrade but the product isn't listed - the upgrade specifically says the for your , 4, 5 or 6GB Creative Zen Micro player.
HELP - WHERE IS THE UPGRADE :-(((((
TIA
Paul

It's only available in certain regions, so you'll only find the available downloads depending on what country you choose (ie, a quick check showed it's not listed in the US, but it is in Singapore). If there was a problem with your current player and you needed to reload the firmware, I think you'll have to contact Support if you can't find it on the downloads page. As far as I know, there aren't any firmware upgrades for this player.
2027746,
FYI - the Zen 20gb is like a Micro on steroids. It's got the same design features and layout, but bigger.

Zen 20gb where is my mus

I have a creative zen 20gb and all was fine until today when after ripping some tracks from a cd to it now when i go in there it says there are no tracks on the player. I have approximately 5gb worth of music on there - but they are not showing up when I go into the player (either normally or through the computer). Can anybody tell me where they have gone and why I can't play them please The memory is still showing up as being used and I am really confused.
thanks, Helen

I guess it is only in Asia. Other electronics makers also tend to release models first in Asia then perhaps later they release them in the US, or perhaps some are never released in the US. I guess Asians tend to be more willing to pay high prices for the latest and the greatest than people in North America or Europe, so if there is a very limited supply of something, it might only be available in Asia.
