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.

  • Creative Zen (20GB) WHERE IS IT?

    I don't want the Zen Micro, or the Zen Touch, or any other Zen except for the "original" Creative Zen. That's it, a simple Zen... The one that looks like the micro, but has 20GB of storage space! It's advertised on your site, but I have no idea where to get it... I've been to stores and checked the site, but it's unavailable. Maybe it's just out in another country. Is it even available in North America? If not, will it be out anytime soon?
    HELP ME FIND IT!

  • 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 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

    Hi,
    Got a Creative ZEN 20GB (DAP-HD005) and recently bought a new computer with Windows 7. Where can I find a driver as the one I have is not compatible?
    Many thanks!

    Re: Creative ZEN 20GB (DAP-HD005) & Windows 7?Hi there,
    Weird. The system info tab says its version .00.02, total space 9056MB...

  • Zen 20gb poorly after fall, ide

    Dropped it!Very unhappy at first. PC wouldn't find it on connection. Couldn't load library etc.Re-formatted etc. and tried everything possible. It is now found by PC but won't let me transfer anything ('failed' message). I suspect this means the end, but before it goes to the MP3 graveyard I'd like to check that I have exhausted every option. Any suggestions Otherwise, is it worth getting repaired I don't know where to go for this as the Creative site only seems to mention warranty repairs. I li've in Nottingham UK. I love it and the 20gb storage is great (I only use it for music). The newer Zen players either don't have as much storage or do a lot more than I need (for more money). Also, it was a special birthday pressie. Thanks Nick

    The problem with harddisk player is the harddisk itself which is very fragile especially if the unit is on. When the player is dropped, it would be enough to damage the disk platter. When you shake the player, do you hear any sound which should not be there ?
    As for replacement harddisk, you are pretty much on your own when it comes to replacing it. Before rushing out to getting a replacement harddisk, you might want to see if you can open the unit. Firstly, I am not sure what type of harddisk they use and it could be the IDE or the ZIF interface. And I am not sure if a replacement dri've of that capacity is available for sale in the open market.
    I guess you can try asking Creative support but I doubt they would provide you with any information as to dissassembly the unit. It would probably be enough to void the warranty but I would think that the warranty period is probably long gone by now.
    I know the harddisk mp3 playe are great value for money but they are fragile and any slightest force against it may damage it. That is probably why Creative is moving away from harddisk players.
    In the end, you might be better off with a new flash-memory player. I have the Zen 20gb myself and I understand how you feel about it. It looks ugly but it just plays music great. I really do not want to lose mine.

  • 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.

  • Creative Zen (20GB) - Availabil

    <SPAN>Hi,
    <SPAN>I li've in the UK, and am currently deciding on an mp3 player to use both at home (to use with some speakers) and to take around with me. After looking at the Creative products I couldn't decide between the Touch (huge memory) and the Micro (great features and looks amazing!).
    <SPAN>However, after seeing the Creative Zen (20GB) on <SPAN>http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=24&product=59 this appears to be exactly what I am looking for.
    <SPAN>After searching where to buy it, it seems that it is only available to buy from Asia, and after emailing Creative, they said that this player 'won't be available on the European market for a long time' and that 'It may take 6 months or more before it will be released'.
    <SPAN>I would preferably like to buy a player in the next few weeks, and was wondering if there was ANY WAY in which I could buy this player from Creative (in Asia?)?
    <SPAN><SPAN>If I was to buy it from Asia, would it work EXACTLY the same as it would when it comes out to buy in Europe (i.e. is it made differently for Asia?)?
    <SPAN>I would like to buy a player which will store all my CD collection on so it would be preferable to have at least 20GB.
    <SPAN>I would definitely like to buy the Zen (20GB) player at some point because it has both players? features, and so if it was not going to be available to me from anywhere would it be advisable to buy the Micro now and then buy the Zen (20GB) when it comes out, so that I can use them together?
    <SPAN>Or would it just be best to get the Touch now (although I have heard some bad things about it, and I am attracted to the Micro apart from its memory!)?
    <SPAN>Thanks in advance,
    <SPAN>Sam

    I've not heard that the sensitivity is worse on the touch than the micro, just that some people find them both a little tricky to get used too. I've also heard that some people find that if the turn the sensitivity to max (rather than the usual advice of turning it down) that strangely this works better.
    I've never heard complaints about the screen display being worse
    And my impression is that there seem to be more reliability issues with the micro. (headphone jack for starters)
    DISCLAIMER: Having said all that, that is not to say that I am right this is just my impression, others may well think differently (and they may well be right as well )
    Re: the Zen 20gbs if you really want you can get it now but I wouldn't be wanting to deal with the legalities and expense of shipping it to singapore to get it fixed under warrenty if there is a problem. Here is a linkhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...5775262832&rd=

  • 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.

  • Where is Adobe Muse in my applications folder?

    Where is Adobe Muse in my applications folder? It shows as installed in my Cloud app on the desktop, but not in my Application folder. List by Date shows nothing there. Is it under another name possibly? The Uninstaller found it...somewhere. I uninstalled and downloaded it again but don't see it in the Application folder. I would like to use Muse, please.

    Re-install it from the System Restore disks that came with your computer. Select to 'Install Bundled Applications only'

  • Petition - Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD00

    I have recently upgraded my music player from a zen micro to a Zen 20Gb and I am surprised to find that it is a step backward in terms of firmware.
    The zen micro went to deep sleep mode after 4 hours. However this player is still using the old setting of 24 hours before going into deep sleep mode.
    This adversely affects battery life.
    So I have decided to ask creative to change this setting in the future.
    Sign please if you agree.
    thanks

  • Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD00

    Hello,
    I bought some months ago by Ebay the .
    I happy with this product.
    I want now to use ZENcast Organizer.
    I installed It and it doesn't recognise the player.
    On this page : http://www.zencast.com/downloads/
    It is written that the ZENcast Organizer Requires an upgrade to PlaysForSure? Firmware.
    I didn't find it for my model.
    Can you please help.
    Best Regards,
    Renato Fontana

    Cat thanks for the answer.
    Zen 20Gb (DAP-HD005) is only one or two year old and already it can't benefit of new features or upgrade ...
    My understanding now is that in fine, I won't be able to use ZENcast Organizer.
    I am really disappointed.

  • Zen 20gb - firmwa

    Hiya
    I have hunted high and low for a solution to this, so i'm going to have a final stab by registering here and asking....
    I have a Zen 20gb, it's not a touch, a micro or anything like that, just a Zen 20gb, I think they might have been limited to Europe and Asia, not sure.
    The Firmware on board is .00.02
    I need to get this working with Vista. I cannot find a firmware, I did try the Zen firmware but it couldnt find the player, then I found further down in the archi'ved section the page for the Zen 20gb, it said my player was not supported anymore, which I was amazed about as it is not that old.
    So is there a work around for this, or am stuck with fireing up XP everytime I want to add music to it's By workaround I mean firmwares for other models that might work. Am pretty p***ed off with Creative for giving up so early on this player by the way, it was a few hundred pounds when I got it a few years ago!!
    Thanks for reading and for any ideas you can offer : )

    I believe they were using Asia mainly Singapore as the test bed for that harddisk based mp3 player but it did not sit well with the customers here. I bought it because I needed the disk space at a close-out sale. I believe that particular model was a total flop and those of my friends and family who saw it thinks it was the ugliest thing around. They have not sold the unit for quite many years now. It was based on a different format and providing a driver for it make be too time consuming and expensi've and probably just support a handful of users who still uses it.
    You pretty much cannot use that one failed model to guage what Creative is doing to support the other popular mp3 players.

  • Zen 20gb - Bl

    I've just ordered a Zen 20gb MP3 Player - Black from Amazon.co.uk.
    I probably should have done this BEFORE ordering, but I've just cheked the Creative website and cannot find this model listed. According to Amazon, the model number is: 70PF 0900 0008
    It looks very much like a Zen Micro - but is described as having 20gb capacity.
    Does anyone know anything about this model, or do I need to start trying to get my money back from Amazon?
    Just to clarify - I li've in the UK and cannot find this model on the European Creative website.
    Thanks in advance!!

    It's larger than a Zen Micro, but has a similar look. As far as I knew Europe weren't selling this player, but someone else mentioned Amazon UK were selling it. It didn't appear in the USA for a long time, but then Cambridge Soundworks stores started to sell it.
    Principally this player is sold in Asia Pacific.
    Here's an official Creative page for the player, although I'm not sure if this is International or USA based.
