Zen Micro. Song transfer prob

Okay this happened to me twice first time I thought it was a fluke but since its happened twice I thought I'd report it / see if anyone else has seen it.
My micro is pretty full. I have a couple very big audio book files like 400 meg each.
After I finish a track I delete it an put on the next track. When doing the transfer it looks like everything worked fine. But when I go to listen to my new audio book it seems like it never transfered the new file over. It puts me at a random place in some music or the previous book I deleted. The track is around 7 hours long and if I move around the track it sometimes switches to other stuff I deleted.
So it appears it reserved a spot on the disk for my new track but it never wrote over the old stuff.
version .0.03

Well I did have about 600 meg free and the book was 450 meg or so. So I had plenty of disk space. When I got home I deleted the "new" track and reloaded it...
No problem this time. It just seems weird this would happen and not give me any errors.
As far as updating goes I hate windows media player and will not ever use it. It seems like all of the updates either force you to use windows media player or the just change some of the graphics on the screen. Am I missing something?

Zen Micro songs transfer to comput

can you do this with a zen micro 6 gig? How do you do it's Thanks.

- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

Zen micro mtd transfer prob

i have the upgrade for the mtd drag/drop
and when i drag a bunch of songs in sometimes it will die on a certain song
after 3 mins it will ask to skip it
all the other songs in the album will work fine but certain ones wont transfer
i was wondering if anyone else has this problem or knows of it's

Yea i've had this problem as well. I've found that changing the filename or the ID tags will usually solve the problem.

Zen Micro- Cannot Transfer Duplicate Fi

I got a Creative Zen Micro 6GB mp3 player for Christmas, and am having a little bit of trouble with transferring some songs. It won't let you put 2 songs with the same name on! For example, I want to put Green Day's Dookie on it, along with Green Day Interenational Superhits. But since the Superhits collection has songs from Dookie, an error window comes up saying that "there is already a file with the same name, do you want to skip tranferring this file or replace it's". Neither! I want it on twice on both albums! Yes, I can rename it so it dosen't do this, but I just want it on twice!I also have the same problem when 2 bands have the same name for a song (Green Day: In The End, Linkin Park: In The End). They are 2 completely different files, and I cannot put both on!Does anyone know what to do?

You can easily transfer a duplicate song to the Micro if you remove Zen Media Explorer and just use the standard Windows Explorer interface as that does not have any checks and duplicates can go on and off easily.
But I have a feeling its a tagging issue. It varies by programs, but some check the ID Tags as well as the filename, so yes change the filename of the songs, if it still wont go then try the song tags... Still not working? Then use the standard Windows Explorer interface to transfer. You dont need to remove Zen Media Explorer, at least I dont think so... Access your player via Control Panel -> Portable Media Devices. Hopefully it wont open up the Zen Media Explorer interface....
This would work only if you are running the PlaysForSure firmware.Message Edited by DM on 2-26-2005 02:5 AM

Zen micro file transfer error and playing mista

My Zen Micro 5GB had some problems wih the sound:sometimes, listening to a song, I heard (more orless) a second of another song but after that isreturned to the selected one. This is not the only problem: sometimes, whentransferring data between a PC and the player'sstorage dri've (2GB) it stops after a while.When transferring music from the player to the PCusing Music Organizer the PC receives some musicbut after a while it stops and displays amessage 'Cannot transfer file: file not found';after this, the player remains 'busy' also if youclose all the programs opened. I tried to fix this in many ways I installed the version 2.x firmware, so Icould re-install the latest .x version.2) I learned how to access the recovery functionsand I tried all of themBut after all this, it continues to display theerror message and I think sometimes it could stopplaying the song I'm listenig to and play asecond of another one.

all the songs are mp3 format
the transfer window pops up, the status will say writing for about 5sec. then the error comes up and says unable to create file - restart player and try again.
but then the player has the acti've docked logo on, which you aren't supposed to unplug from the computer when that's on, but it will not go off. I've left it for hours and ended up unplugging it anyway. So I've restarted it, pulled the batter and retried that a few times too.
Any ideas?
thanks for your help

Zen Micro/Organizer/disappear prob

Okay, here's the problem.... I recently deleted my music on my Zen Micro to start from Scratch, you know, clean it up. So I start adding music to my playlist. Suddenly, the songs are not on the playlist. They're in the "music" folder, but they don't exist in the playlist on mediasource organizer. I unplugged my Micro and checked the playlist - sure enough, nothing. But in the "All tracks" folder the music is there. I also noticed if I drag and drop one song at a time with a few seconds between each song, it'll load the songs in the playlst. But the second I select 2 songs, drag it in the playlist, they are shown as "completed" in the transfer window, but then nothing shows up in the playlist. AND, if there's already music in the playlist, they disappear too. What the heck is going on? For the last 3 weeks, I've been able to load and delete music perfectly, so why is this doing it now?Any help is appreciated!

Did you also update to a newer version of the Media Explorer?

Search in "firmware problem" in the FAQ post.

Zen Micro Song Capacity?????

I have a white 5gb zen micro purchased december 2004.
Currently I have 909 songs that are taking up 3.88gb. I have 28mb designated for my removable disk. So that only leaves me 77mb of free space. This is not right.
All my songs are in mp3 format and i am nowhere close to the advertised 2500 song capacity.
Has anyone else had this problem or know of a way to fix it. Should I change all my files to WMA's (I thought they were bigger file sizes though)
Not sure what to do.
Mohall

Whoa whoa whoa. We're all just trying to help here.
Nothing out of the ordinary is going on. You have an approriate amount of disk space left for the number of tracks you have on your player. It's all relati've because the length of the tracks also affects the number of tracks you can fit on the player. If you listen to house music, techno, or concertos your average number of tracks on the player will go down because the songs, on average, will be longer.
If you listen to nothing but punk then every song is 2 minutes long and you'll easily fit many more than the quoted number of tracks on the player.
You aren't missing any space on the dri've from what I can tell by your posts. The things quoted here are standardized but no music collection is standardized. There is a huge array of lengths, bitrates, and file types in most people's collections so a perfectly uniform standard that applies to everyone is hard to achieve.

Zen Micro - MediaSource Detector Prob

Help please!
I recently installed Broadband and Internet Explorer 6 and Outlook 6 onto my PC running Windows ME. I now get an error message at start up advising that "MediaSource Detector was unable to load needed components. Please re-install the application". When I try to start the programme a further error message indicates that a required driver, CTINTRFC.dll, was not found. The driver is there!
I've uninstalled and re-installed the MediaSource software, updated all the critical updates / drivers from Microsoft. I've run auto updates on my Zen Micro, brought in the latest upgrade and firmware but to no avail.
Can anyone help?

If all you want to do is transfer mp3s and files between your pc and mp3 player, you can just do this trhough "my computer". click and drag thing... Other than that I'm not sure why you have this problem. Maybe you can try a system restore.....

Zen Micro: Playlist transfer issues upd

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.

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?

Unless of course any of you know if Musicmatch can get round this! As I like the style and usability of Musicmatch.

All help much welcomed, as I find the Creative Way of managing music files to be very tedious and messy to the eye.

Thanks folks. :smileyvery-happy:

Does this thread help at all?

Zen Micro & FM Transmitter Prob

I noticed that the Zen Micro does not work well with the I-Ri'ver FM transmitter. The MuVo works fine with this transmitter. What is up with this? I need an FM transmitter that really works, my 2006 car does not offer a cassette deck just CD.

I can't see why there would be a difference. What do you mean "does not work well"?

Zen micro cd installation prob

hi i recently purchased a zen micro. when i try to install the software from the cd i pick the region and the language and then an error comes up saying the "demoshield player has encountered a problem and needs to close". this happens evry time and i have tried it on 2 differernt computers. has anyone experienced this and how did you fix it's

You can try downloading each individual piece of software required from the download page instead. You need the following:
. Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource
Install . then connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 (which needs the player connected for verification) followed by 3.
You can also download Zen Micro Media Explorer as well.

You will need the playforsure firmware for vista to recognize the Micro. You will need to update the firmware from a machine with windows XP. Then vista will recognize the your Micro. If your player has the old firmware there is no way to?update it in Vista.?

Zen Micro Car Connection Prob

Okay so i bought a cable for my Zen Micro 5gb Black, that is RCA audio to headphone jack. I have a pioneer headunit (aftermarket) which has the RCA audio jacks on the back. My problem is that when i plug this in and play my zm, it plays no matter what else is happening, with whatever else is on, like a cd and my zm or the radio and my zm. Plus i cant control volume through my headunit, only through the zm volume control. Anyone know of any simple and hopefully free ways to fix this? I dont have an aux. in, just the red and white RCA audio jacks. Id really like to be able to just have the zm play, and i control the volume and such through the head unit.
Thanks in advance,
Rug

The car stereo does have a "source" button which i use to switch back and forth from radio to cd and such. However, it doesnt find the RCA audio connection as a source, which is very strange. I took out the cd, and plugged the ZM into the RCA connection, and hit source and nothing happened. The other problem is i already have XM satillite radio with a rf modulator hooked up into the headunit so i cant use another modulator. The only soulution i can think of is to get some kinda RCA audio a-b switch and plug both the zm and the sattilite radio into its modulator. I dont know if anyone makes something like that though...thoughts?

Zen Micro Media Connection Prob

I have a zen micro, I just updated the firmware so nothing is currently on my Zen. I went to import music to my zen with the Zen Micro Media Explorer, and it says my device is not connected. Now, my computer recognizes the device because it shows up as connected under my computer and I can import music that way, but its much easier and faster if I was able to use the Media Explorer and that is not working. Any suggestion? Thanks

Did you also update to a newer version of the Media Explorer?
