ZEN MICRO PLAYLISTS PROBL

LOVE MY ZEN MICRO SO FAR. ONLY DILEMMA IS THIS. THE PLAYLISTS DONT SORT BY SONG TITLE OR EVEN ARTISTS. ALSO THEY DONT DETECT DUPLICATES. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE ADDING TO A PLAYLIST, THE PLAYLIST WILL BE IN THE ORDER THE SONGS WERE ADDED. IS THERE A WAY TO SORT THE PLAYLISTS BY TRACK TITLE ON THE PC OR MICRO. THE COLUMNS DO NOT SEEM TO BE PORTABLE. I REALIZE THIS IS NOT SUCH A LARGE CONCERN BECAUSE GENERALLY I PLAY MY PLAYLISTS ON RANDOM. HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE IT IF THESE WERE SORTED SIMILAR TO THE ALL TRACKS MODE OF PLAY. PLEASE REACH ME AT [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]

>> You cannot sort the columns on the playlists.
MTORT44, this issue has been discussed before. Don't you think that allowing sorting by clicking column in playlist is quite dangerous? Imagine that you have spend hour to arrange the order of 00 tracks in a playlist. An unintentional click on the column will destroy the order that you have built earlier. And you need to spend time arranging the order again.
For tracks in a playlist, it is unlikely that you want to sort the order of play by title, artist, or whatever. Usually, you would manually sort it. In MediaSource, you can drag and drop the tracks in a playlist to re-arrange the order.

  • My zen micro playlist prob

    Ok here is my problem. And sorry when i write bad english. Im from holland and im not very good with english.
    But here we go; My zen micro puts the song on titel likeangel - robbie williamsAnd not ; robbie williams - Angel
    The problem here is, the artist don't stand together by there name
    And if i go to play list;artist , sometimes he gives it on the titel, and sometimes on the artistHow can i get my playlist so that every?song just works on artist and?then the?titel??Thnx!

    Grrr.. I had this same problem about 3 months ago. I literally tried for hours and days and weeks!! taking out the battery and restarting it time after time. one day it just finally came on to the little option screen and i was able to update my firmware. It worked better than ever after that. no stopping, no long pause when skipping through tracks. it worked out fine for about 2 months. Now its broken again with the same problem, so looks like ill be out my music for another month until i can jumpstart this thing. How come the Zen Micro doesnt have the reset button like some of the bigger ones? So anyways the only advice that I'm giving you is through my own previous experiences with it. Just keeping trying eventually it will come to you.. Or ship the thing out and pay the 24.95 for an assessment then pay parts and labor >:P I think I've already paid enough personally.

  • Zen Micro playlist synching rarely works with Sync Mana

    I'm not using MTP/Play for Sure apps or firmware (I like the old directory style view in ZMME). I rarely get a clean sync of a playlist onto my Micro. I import the external playlist (usually a .m3u list made on Winamp) to Creative MediaSource, then I (try to) sync it to the Micro. MediaSource always imports the correct number of files, but during the sync process, Sync Manager never detects the full amount of files. Then, when it tries to sync, it rarely even gets the ones it did manage to detect onto the player. I often get the message that "0 files/playlists were transferred" due to some unknown error.
    I've tried connecting the Micro directly to my USB card port (instead of my usual method of using the more convenient front access port or the hub ports on my monitor). That didn't help a bit.
    Does it matter whether I initiate the sync from ZMME or MediaSource? I assume not since they both just kick over to Sync Mangager anyway.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    F/W: ..0
    ZMME: 4.00.27
    MediaSource: 3.30.2

    Try transferring the playlist from MediaSource's PC Music Library to your Zen Micro manually. Do not use sync. See whether it works.
    By the way, have you:<FONT face=Helv size=2>
    - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
    - (Depending on your firmware)
    Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
    or:
    Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.

  • Zen Micro playlist upd

    Hi All,
    Got my dark blue Zen for Xmas and I AM IN LOVE (so far). Battery life to date is so-so, nowhere near 2 hours, maybe if I played it at volume but I digress....
    I'd like to be able to update playlists on the fly....for example, if I hear a song that I want in my '60's rock' playlist, can I do it on the fly, or do I have to wait until I get home and dock the player?
    BTW, showed my Zen Micro to 2 IPOD owners they are sick with envy.... I love it.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Overwriting the playlist would be effecti'vely the same as adding to it, assuming you have both the contents of the original playlist there and the new tracks.
    I agree thought that much more is needed in the way of "on player" editing for playlists, and this has been on my wishlist for a long while.

  • Zen Micro- Playlist-making/Organizing software

    I need to download software that will let me organize the music on my Zen Micro and make/modify playlists. I thought Creative MediaSource was what I wanted, but that doesn't seem to interface with my Zen, only with music files on my computer. So, would somebody mind telling me what program I want?

    I've used the Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update since I got my Zen Micro in '05.
    I plug it in, let ZM Media Explorer load, then click Organize Music in Device and drag & drop files into the various Playlists.
    You can create/rename Playlists easily by clicking on the Playlists menu tree, right click--> New Playlist, call it whatever you want and then organize from your Music Library.
    Alternati'vely, you can go to the front page of ZM Media Explorer and click the Create a New Playlist in Device icon and go from there.

  • Zen Micro: Playlist transfer issues upd

    <FONT face=Century color=#663300 size=2>I have been browsing through this forum checking out synchronising issues with the Zen Micro. I have only been able to use the Creative software to physically sync playlists to the device. WMP0 will happily sync the songs, but not the playlist itself.
    <FONT color=#663300 size=2>
    <FONT color=#663300 size=2>Do I [and I guess, should I] update my firmware to allow WMP0 to sync playlists? I notice that a few of you have reservations about the firmware upgrade and how it affects the relationship between the device and various other programs. Does the upgrade prevent using Creative's software? Or is there another path I can take?
    <FONT color=#663300 size=2>
    <FONT color=#663300 size=2>Unless of course any of you know if Musicmatch can get round this! As I like the style and usability of Musicmatch.
    <FONT color=#663300 size=2>
    <FONT color=#663300 size=2>All help much welcomed, as I find the Creative Way of managing music files to be very tedious and messy to the eye.

    Does this thread help at all?

  • Zen Micro--Playlist len

    Quick question: are playlists in the Zen Micro capped at a certain number of songs, i.e., 256 songs? Stated differently, is it impossible to have more than 256 songs in a playlist in the Micro? Thanks.

    I have a different question about "playlist length" ?
    Is there someway to display ?the duration of all songs in the "now playing" que?
    I like to create sets of music that coincide with timed events, so it would be great to be able ? to look at the "now playing" list and have the same info we have for individual songs "time played", and "time left" for a long set of songs. Suggestions (besides logging each track/time as I load it, and adding)...

  • Zen Micro Playlist Error - Please H

    Everything for my zen micro when connected to my computer except for one thing. I can't create a playlist on my computer! Everytime I go into the Zen Media Explorer and try to create a new playlist, it tells me that it is "unable to connect to device. please try again." And yes, my Zen Micro is connected when I try this.
    Anyways, I looked up to see if anybody had this issue but didn't find a thread about it. Can anybody help me out? I've only upgraded the software once... and terrible things happened(my computer stopped recognizing my micro) so I don't plan on doing that again unless that's my last resort. Thanks in advance.

    I think you need to try the normal troubleshooting procedures i.e. a disk cleanup (see the FAQ post).
    Also try using MediaSource, and failing that another PC even (just to test).

  • Zen Micro Playlist Direct

    Can anyone tell me what the Playlist Directory is for on the Zen Micro? I have created several playlists with the Zen Explorer and can see those lists using the Zen Explorer. However, nothing is in the Zen Micro's Playlist directory? What is this directory and how do you use it's
    Tony

    Your issue is very confusing. I think what SSR is trying to say is that "Is your playlist shown in the playlist menu in the Zen Micro?"
    And what you are trying to say is "Can I view the playlist on my Windows Explorer?"
    You have to use Zen Micro Media Explorer to view your playlist or you can use Creative Mediasource. There is no directory that shows the playlist in Windows Explorer or on your computer. The Zen Micro doesn't act as hard dri've like how iRi'ver does. In the iRi'ver you have to configure everything on the iRi'ver or you can use WMP0.
    You can also use WMP0, but I haven't tried making a playlist with WMP0 yet.

  • Zen micro photo proble

    ok so i've had my zen micro photo since last summer, which means that the creative lab crew wont help me since my purchase is over a year old. lame. well i had a minor 2 ft drop with my buddy, and it wont work. when i turn it on, it freezes on the "creative" screen. then when i get to the option window so i can attempt to clean it out, it wont work, i would like to say that it freezes also on all the options, but i cant really tell. those are i guess minor problems. i dont really know, but it also will occassionally make this odd "skipping" noise when i take the battery out and replace it so it will restart. this kid at Best Buy said that it has a small rotating disk on the inside and that it could of cracked or isnt on properly. but this is a drag. and you would think that i could just plug my baby into the computer with the USB cord,but now it wont even respond to the computer, or the computer wont recognize it. if you have any advice that would be swell.

    i asked that same question because my zen micro broke no responded, but i did get a microphoto and have not had any problems yet.

  • Zen Micro Control proble

    Hey guys, I just recieved a micro for christmas and noticed on mine, when the battery level indicates I have two bars left The control just freezes up on me and end up having to actually push hard on the touch pad for them to work. Is this a defect? Thx all.

    First time I've heard mention of it. I would check that you have at least the .0.03 firmware, and that you've run a disk cleanup. To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

  • Zen Micro sync proble

    Hi,I?formated my pc and installed all creative software as usuall but i cant sync my music from my mp3 player to my pc.. I tryed by dragging the files through "Organize music in device" button, but when i dragged the .mp3's the pc was "busy" but nothing came out.. Then i tryed the "Sync music between pc and device" button, this way was good but in the end i saw that i was transfering file with errors?with no weight.. Well thats my problem, now i got no music files on my pc.. but i still can hear them by connecting my player.So if someone got any suggestion, feel free to post.. Thank's

    Again, you have to be a little more specific.
    You tried doing what? When and how did it fail?
    You said earlier that you could change some songs, now you can't do even that?
    Have you changed sth with your player (firmware is what comes to mind).
    Did you tried uninstalling all Creative programs, rebooting downloading the LATEST versions of the programs and then installing those instead?
    BTW, it DOES matter which firmware version your player has:
    If it is .xx.xx (eg ..0) then you should download and install THE LATEST versions of:
    Zen and Jukebox Driver (v.30.03)
    Zen Micro Media Explorer (v4.00.27)
    MediaSource Player-Organizer (v3.30.2)
    AND
    Jukebox plugin (v2.00.20) for MediaSource
    If it is 2.xx.xx (eg 2.2.02) then you should install Windows Media Player 0 along with ALL the latest hotixes from microsoft.
    If when by fail you mean that it worked ok for your friend but when you got back it didn't for you then it DEFINITELY means that there's a problem with your PC, not the player...
    If this don't help ask again anything.

  • Zen Micro headphone probl

    I bought my Zen Micro in mid November(Limited Edition w/ extra battery) and has bee working fantastically until now. As I twist the headphone jack inside its socket, the sound of the music becomes very echo like and very soft but if I continue twisting it then it returns to normal. This has been very persistent for the last month and customer support has been unresponsi've. I only use my Zen on trips and at school, never for excersising and have never dropped it. On occation, if you tug on the headphone jack in just the right way, the player automatically turns on so sometimes in class, my music starts to play. I've called everyday since 5/2 at 3:00pm Western(California) and only get a message telling me the business hours. E-mail has been unresponsi've.
    My friend at school also told me that in the first gen Zen Micros that this is a common problem and told me to refer to these fourms and I haven't found much at all with the Search Bar. Thank you for all your help!

    MechAnt: It is a fault that gets posted about relati'vely frequently. Creative Support shouldn't be unresponsi've so () check your email spam trap for replies (2) make sure you reply to the first email you received from them (it does say to do this in the email). Failing that give them a call, or reply here and a moderator can look into whether they received your email or not.

  • Zen Micro Firmware Probl

    I recently brought a 6GB Zen Micro, and all was fine, it had setup, etc. all perfectly. after useing it for a couple of days, i looked up about the battery drain due the the 2 hour standby, and attempted to upgraded the firmware.
    the update stopped midway through, so i left it to see what happened. nothing after a couple of hours, so i cancelled it.
    now when i turn on the Zen Micro, it says "firmware problem", and remains in recovery mode.
    i tried "reload via USB" option, but then the firmware installer wont start because "player is not connected" (even though it phyically is)
    windows however, does make the noise when you connect a removable dri've, although media player says that no player is detected either.
    after reading a couple of threads here nothing seemed to help me.
    can i anyone help me? id be really gratful
    thanks.

    does the micro still work alright? if it works, and the computer will register it, then you probably shouldn't bother upgrading the firmware. if it doesn't work, then i have no idea what to do, and you'll most likely have to contact customer support, and hopefully creative can somehow fix the problem, or help you fix the problem
