Strange that WMP doesn't detect it, presumably you have v0? Worth checking the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post and installing the hot fixes.
Also make sure you have the latest software with MTP updates, by downloading and installing the following:
. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
2. Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices
3. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
Before installing connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 and 3 (the player must be connected for to verify you have a Creative product).

    Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
    I got it working now!
    I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
    THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

  • Creative MediaSource Organizer w/ Zen Micro Probl

    Hey, i just recieved my refurbished Zen Micro from creative, and my Creative MediaSource Organizer wont wont.(It used to work on my old zen micro when i first got it, but then after a while, the organizer wont even open). So i uninstalled all creative programs i had, and reinstalled them using the Zen Micro Installation Disc. The computer can detect my Micro and i can put songs on through Zen Media Explorer. But it was much more convinent to use Organizer. Got any ideas? Thanks.
    p.s. when i click on MediaSource Organizer, it says it cannot find CTCMS.exe and before i re-installed it, i clicked the icon and nothing happened.

    Zen Xtra 30G
    I have the same problem. I have actualized my Zen Xtra with the firmware: 2.0.03 and the Creative Mediasource doesn't recognize the Zen Xtra since then.
    I have the latest mediasource ( 3.30.2 ), which requires windows xp sp2 (that I have).
    The compluter explorer does recognize it, but not the organizer, so it is awful trying to organize songs.
    Do I need another version of MediaSource?
    Can I organize songs with Windows Media Player? because it only recognizes it to sincronize, but not to change the name of the songs and so on.
    Help!!! Please!!
    Thanks

  • Slight Zen Micro/Creative MediaSource Organizer Prob

    i have a 5gb zen micro and when i plug it in to add songs, it says device not found when I double click on the Creative MediaSource Organizer...but when i go to My Computer...it says that it has found Zen Micro Media Explorer and all the cords are tight and everyting
    Could any one help me? espically SSR?
    Thanks
    p.s. this happened to me before and i uninstalled my Zen Micro Software and re-installed it and that fixed it, but i want to find another way to solve it besides un-installing then re-installing

    What do you mean by "it says device not found when I double click on the Creative MediaSource Organizer"? Do you see a Zen Micro node in the Sources panel?

  • 'Creative Mediasource Organizer' Folders and the ZEN V pla

    Using the Creative Mediasource Organizer, I've set up a few Folders on the 'Creative Zen V' player but when I undock the player and use it to find and play the songs, they're not organized by the Folders. In fact, I don't the folder 'structure' at all. Is there a way I can see and use my folder structure I've set up for the player? and, if not, then why does the Organizer enable me to set up folders?Thanks.

    Folders on the device are merely for your own convenience and organization. The device relies solely on ID TAGS on how it plays and displays the various tracks. You will need to get your tracks in order and edit the tags.

  • Creative MediaSource Organizer....Will it work with Zen 16GB

    I still have Creative MediaSource Organizer that I used when i had my Sleek Photo. I really liked using this program to edit the names/albums. Will this program also work with the ZEN 6GB? If not, what program do I use?

    Great! Thats what I thought it would be, they were probably covering themselves with the 'works best with' so no one could come back and say "My mp3 player won't play the movie files" you know what some people are like

  • Zen Micro not recognized by Creative software after firmware upgr

    I had really old firmware, so I upgraded it to the latest version (2.2.02). Immediately after doing so, I noticed my Micro appears in Windows and is recognized by Windows Media Player (I'm using v0, not the new beta).
    But it's not recognized by the Zen Micro Media Explorer or by the Creative MediaSource Organizer, which I was hoping to use to reconstruct my playlists easily. Explorer claims the player is not connected.
    Upgrading my drivers (to .30.03) and Creative software (to 3.30.2) did not fix the problem.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    rs93,
    You need to install the MTP plugin for MediaSource and also update your copy of the Zen Micro Media Explorer to a version that support the new firmware. All the above can be downloaded from the website.

  • Creative Mediasource Organizer Losing Year T

    I use Windows XP, Creative Mediasource Organizer version 3.30.35 and my player is a Zen MicroPhoto 8G. I have over 4000 MP3 files organized with id tags in Creative Mediasource Organizer. These are almost exclusivly?MP3 files that I recorded myself. Of the 4000 files?there are only a handful, just?one album that could possibly find tag information?to pull from the internet. Yesterday,?more than?200 of my mp3 files?had blank?year tags. I entered the correct year in several dozen of these so that only about 65 had blank year tags. Then I closed the software and turned of my computer. Today I opened Creative Mediasource Organizer to work on filling in those blank year tags. There were over 400 blank year tags today. What is happening? I have PC Music Library open. I select a single file, right click, click properties, click tag information, enter the year in the year field, click OK. Then I right click and select "update tag" click "yes" to confirm that I want the changes to apply to the file itself and not just to the PC Media Library. Please, someone help me understand why?the number of blank year tags is growing instead of shrinking? What can I do to retain the information I enter in these tags?

    YESTERDAY:?Monday March 2, 2007:?I edited my media library from within Creative MediaSource so that there are no files without a valid year in the year tag. For?each MP3 file the other standard tags also contain meaningful data. These are?title, artist, album and?genre,?but not track. I don't see any practical way to use the track field for some of these files, so not all of them have a track number. The files I want in my media library are all the MP3 and WMA files within C:/MP3 and it's subfolders. The properties of C:/MP3 as viewed from "My Computer" are 3922 files and 249 folders. About a dozen are WMA files and one is a text file. All the others are MP3 files. The problem is that?there are quite a number of duplicate entries. And the Media Library is reporting several hundred more files within C:/MP3?than "My Computer" is reporting there.
    I used "Tools/Settings/PC Media Library/ Delete invalid entries" but it did NOT remove the duplicate entries. Exiting the program and opening it again did not correct the count either. So I selected ALL the files, right clicked, and selected "update tags." I clicked YES to update the tag data from the media library to the files. When that operation was completed, I deleted all the files from the library but not from the computer. And?now I am?importing all the files within C:/MP3?back into the library. It says "now transferring 859 of 3920 files." This is good! 3920 is very close to 3922 minus the one text file. I want to see if, when this transfer is finished, I will have the correct number of MP3 files in my media library, and I want to see if the tag data, including the year data, remains?intact after this transfer. The transfer is complete. I do have 3920 files in my media library now and the data in the id tags appears to be intact. Hopefully, this will still be the case when I open the software tomorrow. THE NEXT DAY:?Tuesday, March 3, 2007: Grrr! I now have 3950 files in my media library where it should be only 3920. I did not add anything ?or make any edits. Exactly 30 of these entries?have blank year fields. I'm thinking that Creative MediaSource is NOT?loosing the data in year tags as I first thought, rather it's ADDING entries that are identical to existing entries except that the year fields in the added entries are empty. I think that if I enter the correct year data, I will end up with 30 entries that are truly exact duplicates. I don't see a pattern or clue to tell me why these 30 and not the others ... they have different artists, different albums, genres and the data in the missing year fields was not all the same. In the track fields, a few are blank, but most of them have data. "Tools/Settings/PC Music Library/Clean up now" did not elimiinate these 30 extra entries. Looking at the properties of C:/MP3 from "My Computer" still shows 3922 files (one is a text file) ... From my experiments yesterday, I am pretty sure that I can delete these 30 extra entries and be left with valid entries for all my files. This is frustrating. I'm hoping that these observations will be helpful to a programmer working on the next version of Creative MediaSource. I would send these comments directly to them, but they don't seem to provide a way for me to do that.

  • Creative MediaSource Organizer disapearing TRACK

    I just got my zen, and instaled and updated all of the software. its at V 3.30.35. So i am switching from itunes, so i go over and tell the CMO (Creative MediaSource Organizer) to import all the files in the itunes files, and use exsisting tags. they all import fine. But, when i close CMO with the X in the cornner, when i restart CMO, all my songs are nowaer to be found. they are all still in the itunes folder, and in none of the playlists of CMO. I was wondering what is wrong with it and how to fix. (all my audio files are associated with CMO)
    HELP?!
    Twisted Rabbit

    I assume that you are saying that before you close MediaSource, you can see the tracks being listed in MediaSource's PC Music Library. After you close MediaSource and re-launch it, the PC Music Library is empty. Am I right?
    By the way, how did you import the tracks to MediaSource's PC Music Library? Did you click the Import button in the PC Music Library panel?

  • Creative Mediasource Organizer is missing a dll-f

    When I try to start my Creative Mediasource Organizer (CRM), I get an error saying "CTCMS.exe - the component wasn't found. This program couldn't start, becaus CTHml.dll wasn't found. It is possible, that the problem can be solved by reinstalling the program" (a bad translation from Danish - sorry (-: )I've tried reinstalling the program, but it didn't solve the problem. Has anyone got a solution?Best regardsMads

    IceMan,
    You can install the CDRW database update for the MediaSource. That should fix your problem. Go to the driver download page and do a search for this filename - CDBD_PCApp__00_05.exe

  • Conflict between MediaSource Organizer and ZM Media Explorer when ripping tra

    I don't know if this is a known problem or not but I am hoping someone can explain what I am seeing here.
    I have both MediaSource Organizer and ZM Media Explorer set to rip CD tracks at 60% quality with a Variable Bit Rate. If I rip tracks using MediaSource Organizer, it shows the tracks have a Bitrate that is indeed variable. However, if I rip the same tracks using ZM Media Explorer, the Bitrate displayed by MediaSource Organizer is always 60000. When I view the mp3 files using Windows Explorer, both files are exactly the same size which would imply that they are both being encoded as requested.
    Could it simply be a problem of displaying the correct bitrate when tracks are recorded with ZM Media Explorer?
    Thank you for any help you can provide!
    John

    micromouse, You are correct that MediaSource does not actually display anything indicating the file is recorded with VBR. I made that determination by examining multiple tracks where I then saw different bit rates as expected. Obviously, if I were recording with CBR, the bit rates of all files would be the same.
    Let me try to explain the problem a little differently.
    If I set MediaSource to rip tracks from a CD with "VBR, 60%" quality and then use MediaSource to rip 0 tracks from a CD, the bit rate displayed when I view the PC Library in MediaSource shows that each track has a different bit rate as expected. There is no problem here.
    However, if I set Media Explorer to rip tracks from a CD with "VBR, 60%" quality and then rip the same 0 tracks from the CD, the bit rate displayed when I view the PC Library in MediaSource shows that every track has the same bit rate of 60000. I believe this represents a problem.
    Now after using EncSpot to view the details of the mp3 files as previously suggested by another board member, I verified that the same track ripped by each program (MediaSource and Media Explorer) has the same characteristics although there is a slight difference in file size by a few bytes.
    I hope this helps to better explain what I am seeing.
    Thanks, John

  • Problem with Creative Zen Micro software detecting certain C

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me. I recently purchased a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player. So far, I have very few complaints, apart from the fact that while travelling on the bus, it won't seem to detect any radio stations.
    The problem re: the software though is that it will only detect the last track on three of my CD's. None of these CD's are damaged in any way, but all are from the same record label. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how I might be able to transfer these albums onto my player?
    Thanks a lot.

  • Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra Wont appear in the creative mediasource organiz

    I plug it into the usb dri've, and it doesnt show up. I look on My Computer, and it shows up as an audio device, and other. I go to my mediasource organizer, and it doesnt show up. I can access it on my computer, but it takes longer and I have no way of organizing my songs. I tried to re-install it, but it still doesnt work. It also doesn't work on my brothers 60gb one. Any help?

    hol3_c4t,
    Did you install the Nomad Jukebox Type 2 plugin also? If not, go to the download page and install those in order for the MediaSource application to identify the player.

  • Help! My Zen Micro is detected but not connected to zen media explorer & mediasou

    Hi
    recently i just bought a creative zen micro at 5 GB. after installing all the drivers and programs using the installation CD that came with my player, I connected my player through the USB cable to my pc USB root hub.
    an auto-detect of my zen micro window pops up at the righthand corner, prompting me to click 'organize' in the creative media source. clicking the organize option, mediasource program starts but while it is loading the music library, an error message: CTCMS, The program has performed a illegal operation......etc.
    i tried disconnecting my player followed by opening the media source prog and connecting my player after that. another error message: file operation failed. please ensure that your player is properly connected.
    I'm using windows 98 SE on an AMD processor. i was able to use the removable disk mode of my player to store data from pc. However when comes to the media mode of my player, it is shown as not connected status in the zen micro media explorer and in the creative media source program, it's either shown as not properly connected or illegal operation when loading music library from my player. in addition, under the device manager, the creative zen micro driver is shown as working properly. i was also able to upgrade my firm ware to version .02.05. using my pc to connect to my player. However, even before upgrading the firmware, this problem is already present. i have contacted the creative technical support helpdesk for advise on this issue and they have suggested to me various solutions such as checking my drivers if they are updated, reinstalling the drivers and software applications for the media library, installing jet engine service pack for my windows and the MDAC component but still nothing works.
    anyone have any suggestions? pls help
    thanks

    Hi,
    Sorry I can't help you. I just wanted to let you know I have the same exact problem. It started three days ago and I've been going back and forth with creative support and nothing has worked. I am beginning to grow really distressed. I feel a little better now because after seeing that it's happening with someone else, it is most likely not the player. I am running windows 98 SE as well. I also have an AMD Duron processor. I have a new computer on the way with windows XP I really hope it works. But now I have a new problem. I listed it on the front page of this forum a few minutes ago. My player froze and now only boots up in rescue mode. I am getting so frustrated with my player. If you figure anything out will you be as kind as to send me a message on how you got your player working again? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
