Zen mozaic speaker qual

hello owners of the zen mozaic or creative team,
how is the quality of the sound coming from the built-in speaker?
how does it, for example, sound compared to the handsfree speaker of a mobile phone?
or compared to the zen stone with built-in speaker?

thank for the tip but alas there is only one line spent on the matter of the built-in speaker

Zen Mozaic EZ300 8GB Speaker not working

I have the Zen Mozaic EZ300 8GB, got it for Christmas, charged it overnight last night through my PC after upgrading the firmware to the latest version.
Went to mess with it this morning and all seems well except... I have no sound at all from the speaker. I set the speaker to on, through the menu while playing a song... no sound. I crank the volume all the way up, still nothing. I unplug the headphones, the speaker icon comes on, play an MP3 or a video... no sound.
So, do I have a bad speaker or is there another setting somewhere I can enabe the speaker ? :/

Re: ZEN MOZAIC FROZEN!! KEY PAD NOT WORKING? Hi!!
Thanks so much for answering!
Well, the player has never worked properly. This problem is since the first time I tried to use the player two days ago!!
Once the player is on, the keypad does just not respond, any of the keys. When I reset it, the player starts up again (the creative logo, the zen logo) and then the main menu displays, once there (where I am supposed to navigate through the menus and submenus) i just cannot do anything because of the keypad not responding.
I already tried this sequence: reset + pressing play/pause at the same time while I turn it on, and nothing happens, I mean, it is everything all over again, no response from the keypad, so i can't even select the option i want from the recovery mode display.
I have already connected the player through the usb cable to my PC and I can perfectly see the content of the player, all the music i previously saved, and even play it in my PC but doing nothing at all with the device!!
does that mean that my new player is just faulty!?!? what a disappointment, I thought what a great present was!
I would appreciate any new ideas! regards!

Bugs in ZEN Mozaic EZ300 (firmware 1.04.02)

Creative ZEN Mozaic EZ300 (firmware .04.02) BUG REPORT:
Bookmarks remembers only current track and position within it. Current list of tracks and position of current track within this list are ignored.
So opening of bookmark opens the list of one track (without previous and next tracks)
Pause + Shutdown doesn't remember position within the track.
So next turning on displays last track in the initial position.
(though Shutdown during playback works correctly)
My previous players was ZEN Nano Plus and ZEN Stone Plus with built-in speaker. I really enjoys them.
I have bought EZ300 thinking it will be even better.
Though impossibility of folder's navigation disappointment me deeply.
The last advantage of EZ300 was bookmarks. But they appears buggy... :-(

Hi Severov,
. Bookmark, Pause + Shutdown issue
I have a test unit with me and it is behaving as you described. I wouldn't call it a bug but rather your feedback of the product. I am sorry but I will not be able to comment on why certain features work this way or why has it changed etc.
2.Creative Central - issues with creating correct playlists from MP3-filenames with national characters
I am not familar about this issue, I will make a note of this and see if I can find out anything.
3. What is Creative's plans for new firmware version?
I am sorry but we are unable to comment about?this mainly because such information is not available to us.

Zen Mozaic 8GB, the same Album Art shows up on every f

My Zen Mozaic froze last Sunday but I brought it back to life using that wonderful reset button (or whatever it's called). It works as it should except for one thing - every single music file appears to belong to the same album. This might not have been an issue if it wasn't for the fact that I actually have more than one album on my player. Also, some of the tracks doesn't even belong to an album at all since I recorded them myself using Audacity. Thus, I am quite sure that something is wrong.
The background image when playing any file changes to this album image, and when I click the white button a few times to change to the playlist, the album image pops up again (as it normally should... If the song actually belonged to the album). The image used should normally only be present on one track though this one track, according to Creative Centrale, doesn't even have an album image. :smileyvery-happy:
I removed the song that naturally should have that album image, turned the player off and on again but the problem is still there. This never happened before the player froze. I attempted to bribe the player, but it didn't help either.
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

Windows Vista 32 wont pick up Zen Mozaic, HELP!!!

Hi.
I recently got the Zen Mozaic 4gb. I download the software from the disc and installed it. The player itself has firmware version .04.06 installed but i cant even update that as the PC wont pick it up. Ive checked in the device manager and it isnt even showing there. I know the USB port is working.
I have windows vista home premium, 32 bit OS.
Anyone?

Hello Tazdogue,
Welcome to Creative forums,
Are you using a USB hub? If yes, try connecting it directly to your computer. If you are connecting your player at the front ports, try using the rear USB port. A lot of people are reporting having detection issues when using the front USB ports. Another thing you can also try is use another USB cable (if you have a spare cable). See if that hel
ps.

Itunes 8 how to get video out of there to Zen mozaics

I am totally?lost. Anyone have help to tell me step by step for itunes 8 how to get the kids video of Jonas bros to the creative Zen Mozaics. This is hard for me HELP . Thanks Stephanie a Mom in crisis LOL

Please first check the the format of the kid video that you would like to play on the Creative Zen, then follow the guide below, i'm sure you can make it easily.
How to convert video to Creative Zen compatible
You have a portable video/audio player, lets say a fancy Creative Zen, which you got as a gift from your friends or you bought for yourself, and would like to watch your favorite movies or just listen to the beautiful music using it's Sometimes you might encounter such an embarrassing situation as you are trying to playback a certain file format (video/audio) on it, but it just cant work out. Creative Zen video converter is just the program you need. It is a simple yet powerful Video to Creative Zen converter software that can convert almost all video/audio formats to Creative Zen compatible format and enables you to solve these problems quite easily with a few mouse clicks.
The Creative ZEN is a range of digital audio players (DAPs) and portable media players. All players are compatible with MP3 and WMA, while various models support WAV and Audible files. They are nati'vely compatible with Windows, while the current players exclusi'vely support Windows XP and Vista. They also support various other formats: Video: iMJPEG, WMV, and AVI (MPEG-4 SP, DivX, Xvid), while MPEG-, and MPEG-2 are supported, but must be transcoded with the included software (Video must not exceed the player's dimensions at 320240 pixels); Audio: MP3, AAC (unprotected ".m4a"), WMA (including protected), WAV, and Audible 2, 3, and 4 formats.
At the moment when you feel you got what you wanted of using Creative Zen video converter, there are reasons to save your project, in case if you want to change any adjustments and settings late, or a desire to get the resulting video as soon as possible. The both things will seem to be a trifle to do if to follow the steps below.

My Zen Mozaic turns on and switches off

I've got a zen mozaic 4gb and all of a sudden it started turning on by itself, and turning off. I uploaded the firmware again and i did reset al the settings as well, but it's still doing that.
What else should I do?

Hello Avalon,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Formatting the player would be your last resort but this will delete all the contents on the player. If you have it save somewhere on your computer, you can always transfer it back later.
Boot the player from the recovery mode and select format.
Turn off your player.
Press and hold .
Continue to hold until you perform the 3rd Step. If you accidentally release the button, start the procedure again by turning the player off normally. If the player freezes, press the Reset button on the player to turn it OFF.
Slide the On/Off/Lock switch towards and hold until the display lights up. The Recovery Mode screen appears, and four menu items are shown: Clean Up, Format All, Reload Firmware and Reboot.
If this doesn't work, you may need to get in touch with tech support and have your unit repaired.

Playing videos on Zen Mozaic

I have a 6gb Zen Mozaic and I am having trouble finding videos that I can put on the player. I looked at the format of the sample videos that came with the player and they are .avi format so I tried to upload a few other .avi video files to the player and I got an error that said it cannot play that format...
Is .avi the only video file type supported or can it play other types of video files? Is there a video converter I can use to fix this? Which one works the best? And why won't it play the .avi file I tried to upload?
Thanks for the support

AVI doesn't say everything. Inside the AVI file there can be different video and audio formats. The AVI files you uploaded to the player probably won't play because they have an unsupported video or audio format in them.
The Mosaic only supports MJPEG as a video format, and the screen is 60 x 28 pixels. So I would try converting it to AVI, choose MJPEG as video format and set the resolution to 60x28 (or try higher, it will improve the quality but there is a limit where the player doesn't play it anymore..). Also set the aspect ratio to "full" or something similar, to prevent it from cutting off your video. And set the audio to mp3.
I like Format Factory (http://www.formatoz.com/). Although there is a drop-down list for the resolutions and bitrate, you can also just type it in that box and it will work.
Xmedia Recode is also a good one, it has about the same options (except hardcoding subtitles).

I NEED this mp3 player... but I can see that now it'ss only available in black. When can I get one? My mp3 player broke and I can't li've very long without music, but this player is worth the wait! Please tell me that it will be available soon!

Hi,
I'm not sure if there will be an available Pink ZEN Mozaic for release, hopefully. You may want to get the Black one and then just get this 3-in- skin for the Mozaic.

Creative zen mozaic 4GB, problems with albums

I have just bought my mozaic, the problem is I put my music in albums, but they are not visible, I can listen to them only as separate songs which is not comfortable as it is more than 700 songs. How to make the albums visible? I would be grateful for any advice. I tried to put them via the programme included and drag and drop but it doesn't work

My English is not good, but I?ll try to explain the solution of the problem how to connect zen?After 2 hours of torment using 6 computers, my zen mozaic was finally connected!So, the first option:Actually it is idiocy, but the 3 computers were connected to zen after the installation of .. nokia pc suite, but after having installed the program, the player was not found.You need to connect any Nokia phone, and only then, zen will be connected!?This method works, it is checked.As I understood the nokia pc suite adds drivers for the MTP protocol when you install the phone.You can try to update your Windows media player, but I did not try it.
Method Two, without the need to install nokia pc suiteInstall Creative Centrale.2)Download and install the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...c0cafe798955If Windows XP does not pass the authenticity then download from here:http: / / rapidshare.com/files/20233...tppk2.exe.html. This method worked out on 6 computers. After such "dances with tambourine" Creativedisappointed me Enjoy!?

I'm afraid you can't find a case replacement for your Mozaic. There is no casing available for sale for this model. You might want to contact customer support and see what are your options.
