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 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- 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 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.

    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 not recognized by computer AND battery is dead

    I have read thru the boards, and I can't do any of the suggested ideas because my Zen battery is completely dead. I cannot charge it, as the computer does not recognize the player when it is attached. Does this mean that I need to buy a new battery, and then go from there? I do not have an adapter, just a usb cable.
    I have a zen micro and an IBM compat. computer, Windows XP. I'm fairly sure that I have the latest firmware update...but is there a way to verify that?
    Thanks!

    The computer doesn't need to recognise the player if you are using a later firmware, such as ..0. You lock the player before connecting, then it should charge. Or you can put it in USB storage mode.

    On the player you go to System > Information. The latest v firmware is ..0.

  • 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.

  • Zen Micro file transfer issue - h

    I just purchase a Zen Micor and installed everything, charged it, downloaded 0 songs and it worked great. So I tried to download some more, and they all ~80, "failed" to transfer. So I installed the new firmware thinking that may be the problem, but still unable to download anymore music. I did a clean disk and reboot, still nothing.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong, or what to do to correct this. I'd really hate to have to take this back, but not sure what to do at this point. I've never had this problem with my ipod or iri'ver before?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    all the songs are mp3 format

  • TS2776 why does my computer give me a cant find files notice when syncing my ipod? only about 1/2 of the songs transfer to computer out of the ipod. and the file must be on the ipod because i can play the song on it. i want to transfer all songs to my ipa

    why can't i transfer all songs on my ipod to my computer and then to my new ipad? i keep getting a message saying that about half of the files couldn't be found, and only about 1/2 of the songs went to the ipad when i first synced. the files must be on the ipod, because i can play all 448 from the ipod when disconnected from the computer. and all songs show up on my devices at itunes and can be played on the computer. but only about 1/2 are going to the ipad. i am no tech genius, obviously, but could someone please help me? thanks

    Apple does not support transferring files from the device to the computer if they are third party.  It is great that you were able to transfer the ones you did.  There is a way to do it but it sounds like you already did it because if not half of them would not come over.  The files can probably not be found because they are third party and the files are not compatible with the transfer process.

  • Zen Micro Song Ti

    I just noticed that when I am playing the Micro on the front display all I have is the current running time of the song on the left side of the display. The right side, which used to show the total length of the song, now just shows all zeros. This happened after I installed the 2.2 version of the Playforsure software. I cannot find an option in the player to adjust this setting and I was wondering if anybody knows how to fix this problem. Thanks for the help.

    The same thing happened to me, now I'm back to ..0 version.
    This is my solution for that...

  • 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

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

  • VERY BIG PROBLEMS WITH MY ZEN MICRO AND MEDIASOURCE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE RESPOND

    Ok so a while back I had to give up my computer because it wasn't working.
    I thought that with my new computer I'd be able to transfer all of my music from my zen micro onto my new computer.
    Now my new computer is set up and I have installed creative mediasource and everything. I started to transfer my music from my zen onto my computer. My first 2 songs transfered successfully onto my computer. On the third song, I get this message:
    "Unable to read file, file may be in use, missing, or corrupted."
    I thought that maybe it was just that one song so I shrugged it off. But then it says the same thing for every single other song that i have! Only my first 2 songs out of my entire music library on my zen will transfer!!!
    Please i really need your help!!!
    And say that there is no hope in getting the rest of my songs to transfer and i have to download 094 songs from limewire? I'll surely be arrested for downloading that much! What should i do if i must download all of them?
    And one more problem with my zen: Some of my Jump Little Children songs are doing something weird. The song will be fine and then a clip from another song will play during it! And then press next and it just keeps playing all of my Jump songs in order even though my player is on shuffle and they do the same thing with the clip from another song interupting it. Whats going on?
    Most importantly though, i really need the questions answered about transfering from my zen to my computer because i'll be getting a new player soon. But this is my entire music library at stake!! PLEASE RESPOND!!!

    Might try this:? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...mp=true#M95059

  • Creative Zen Micro with a ! on its side: not work

    I had the Zen Micro installed in my computer but it stopped working. If I now connect the portable device nothing appears, and it tells me that I have to install the drivers. I put the cd in, but at some point it gives me back an error message saying that the .inf files refers to a service that doesn't work. What am I supposed to do?Does it have anything to do with a usb problem?

    ANY IDEAS?

  • Problem with Zen Micro Media Explor

    I got my Zen Micro the other day, and installed the software, but when i try to load the Zen Micro Media Explorer my computer goes to a blue screen and then restarts. I reinstalled the software but still have the same problem. Please help me!

    Try downloading the latest version to see if that has the same problem.
    Also turn off automatic restart so you can see what file is giving you the error, if there is a file.

  • Who does not loose battery power when zen micro is o

    I bought my zen micro only 2 days ago and it looses battery power when I turned it off. I just want to know if there are people that are not experiencing this problem. The reason I want to know this is becuase if a lot of people are not experiencing this problem then I could return it and get a new one.

    You can search the forum instead of posting.
    Just dl the new firmware, that should fix it, also Catherina-CL posted this , which could be helpful,

    Hi Everyone,
    It has been reported by some of our customers that they have experienced reduced battery life after charging their Zen Micro. Our product development team has researched these reports and determined that the users may have experienced this after they plugged their Zen Micro into the AC adaptor that was already inserted into a wall socket with the AC power on. While this is not the conventional way to plug in a player for charging, we wanted to ensure our customers did not experience this problem, so we have developed a solution to address this which simply involves upgrading the Zen Micro's firmware. To update your Zen Micro just download the firmware update ( ZenMicro_PCFW_US__0_03_PDE.exe) to your computer and run it with your Zen Micro attached to your computer.....if you need assistance in doing this please contact our product support team and they will be happy to assist you. This new firmware also includes an enhancement to improve touch sensitivity, we recommend that all of our customers download this firmware update to enhance their Zen Micro experience.
    You can download the file under Support > Download Drivers, then enter that filename under the Search By Filename option.
