Zen Nano Plus can't see new so

I have a GB CL Zen Nano Plus with 208 (WMA) songs in 6 folders (352 MB space used). When I add new WMA songs, they show up on Windows Explorer File Manager but won't play on the MP3 player. When the MP3 player is unconnected to the computer, I can't even see them on the player. The WMAs are not protected; we tried WMP 9 and 0 to rip the music files from CD. Heard that updating the Firmware might fix, but wanted to be sure. Any suggestions?

There are too many folders on your player - the ZNP can only see a total of 60 folders including any that don't have any music directly in them such as Artist folders. Connect your player and use Windows Explorer to rearrange your player so it uses less folders. When you say that the files aren't protected are you sure? WMP rips CDs to protected files by default so check in Tools, Settings to switch off Copy Protected. PB

Zen Nano Plus - can't move music to it all of a sud

My daughter has had a Zen Nano Plus for about 4 months - no problems up to now. She wanted to put some new music on it, and no matter what we try, we get an error - Transfer error - an error has occurred while transferring this file. I've tried it using a variety of software as well as drag and drop. We just bought my other daughter the identical player, and I can move music to hers with no problem - so it's not the computer or the connection. Any ideas? The player works fine with the music that's on it. Any ideas, or is it RMA time? Thanks!

Hi. What sounds like the same problem has happened to me my first time using the player. It's basically behaving as if it's full, when there is over 6MB of free space left. I read a thread on Amazon (from where I bought the player) and apparently this is a common problem with the Zen nano plus, so Amazon can't/ won't replace players with this defect :-( Do any experts out there think that the response to this problem could fix my issue too? So from now on I should transfer files into folders, instead of trying to transfer 500 songs all in one go? Cheers!

Volume level ZEN NANO PLUS, can it be chang

I have a new ZEN NANO PLUS that I have bought in Spain.
I?ve had this model before and I know that, because of the EU ruling ( **bleep** those bureaucrats! ), the volume level is not as loud as the model you can buy in the US.
A few people have suggested flashing the firmware and installing the US firmware, has anyone tried this, and did they have any success?
I downloaded the US firmware and tried to install it on my player but no luck, and the player died aswell, but I?m not sure if I did the correct thing...
If anyone knows anything about this any info would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance
Neil

You shouldn't have problem using both player together in MediaSource even in transferring audio files(non-protected content). Are you referring to being able to playback PlayForSure subscription content? I doubt it is possible(personal opinion) for the player since I believe it's more to do with the hardware rather than software.

Have tried to download drivers and software for Zen Micro. When I try to run it though, it does not install because it says that I do not have device connected. Have erased everything off of Zen Micro, but have not reformatted. When I attach Zen Micro to PC, Zen Micro displays "booted" & PC displays "Zen Micro" for a second or two, then switches to "MTP Device"?. Do I need to erase everything from the Zen Nano Plus first?2. What do you think my next step should be?Thx???

Zen Nano Plus - can it be used in MediaSource alongside an MTP play

I was just wondering whether there would be any difficulty in using a Zen Nano Plus alongside a Zen Touch MTP player with the newest version of MediaSource, given that the latter is MTP and the former is not. Could non-protected content be transferred directly from one device to the other without problems? Also is there any likelihood of an MTP upgrade for the Zen Nano Plus in the future, or is MTP only for hard-dri've players?

Zen Nano Plus: Can I connect to Aux input on my table rad

Only possibility would be from headphone output on Nano Plus to Aux Input on radio.... Not documented. My sister's Ipod can do this.

I believe it works the same way too. Gi've it try.

Zen Nano Plus: Can I make folde

52MB
According to the software program, I have 2 books in a Book folder and a bunch of songs in a Music folder. In the device however, both books and songs are in Music.
Can I separate the books and music into different folders on the device so I can find the books easily?
ty,
Tom

Hi PeeBee,
Thanks. I didn't realize about the Skip Folders function. I just did it, saw Folder of 2(Books), moved to 2 of 2(Music), and couldn't get back to Folder .
Then I turned the player off and on again. I went to Skip Folder. It's in Folder 2 (Music). When I try to skip to Folder it's cycling between songs, not folders.
My battery is almost dead. I wonder if that has anything to do with this malfunction(?)?
Also, I have been able to get to my books and Music all along without even realizing there were different folders or changing folders. How is that?
I try it again when I put in a fresh battery.

Zen Nano Plus Folder limi

Is there a limit on the number of folders that the g Zen Nano Plus can recognize on the screen? I can only see 33 folders. I can see all of my cd's that I have loaded when I view the Zen flash dri've with my explorer, however the last 5 cd's I have loaded do not appear on my screen and I cannot listen to them.

hello
im having a similar problem with my nano plus gb firmware version .
i have 25 folders with 34tracks both mp3 and wma loaded to my player and able to view them via windows explorer (xp sp2)
but when i disconect the player and view the folders im only able to view 9 folders and they are arranged out of order . i use the player to listen to audio books as well as music so having folders displayed in order is important.
i have tried naming the folders audio book , 2 audio book , and a audio book, b audio book but they still get mixed up
i have done a reformat in fat32 , should i do a firmware upgrade ?
i purchaced this player witha bigger memory and now find i cant use all of the gig :-(
any suggestions apreciated

Zen Nano Plus won't play MP3, can't convert to WMA, tried new firmw

Help!
I have just reloaded the firmware (and all my music) onto my Zen Nano Plus and it didn't fix my problem.
I have mostly .wma files and they play fine. I have tried to load .mp3 files but my player just skips them. I tried using the Organizer software to convert the .mp3 files to .wma files and it says they are converted but I get about min of each song and that's it.
So I don't know why I can't play .mp3 files and I also don't know why the .mp3's can't be fully converted to .wma's.
Can anyone help?Thanks in advance,Marci

Wave files will only play by tricking the player into thinking that they are wav files created by the voice recorder. Put wav file into a folder called Recorded Tracks and see if it plays. This will at least see if it will play something. How did you transfer your files?Try ripping a CD to wma files using MediaSource or Windows Media Player - sometimes the firmware gets in a twist and will play mp3s but not wmas, or vice versa. The solution to that is to reload the firmware - go to the Support->Downloads link at the top of the page to get the latest firmware for your player. Protected songs (wma files with DRM) need to be transferred using WMP or MediaSource to transfer the license across, but mp3 files can be drag'n'dropped in Windows Explorer. A protected song without a license will give the symptoms you detail. As it's duff from the start you might just want to take it back - but it's worth trying the firmware reload first to save you some bother. PB

Zen Nano Plus: I can't get my CDs to play in original order...He

Hello. I'm new here.
I got a Zen Nano Plus 52 mb a few months ago. Installed the software on my computer. I'm not very computer literate.
Here's what's frustrating me: I can't seem to listen to my CDs in their original order.
) I put a CD in my computer
2) Whether I view the track list in Windows Media Player or in the Creative Media Menu the track list appears in its original order as seen on the CD.
3) I "rip" the CD to my Nano player.
4) When I disconnect the player and go to play the album the tracks are all mixed up and not in the original order anymore.
I've tried some different things but nothing seems to correct the problem. I'm hoping someone can direct me what to do. I'm very confused, as I don't understand much of the computer terminology I read.

As in other response, the Nano Plus does not read ID tag info for sorting (it does read part of the tag--song name---only for display while that song is playing). Tag info typically includes the track number. Windows Media Player plays tracks in order of track number contained in the ID3 tags. The Nano Plus only sorts by filename. You can rip your tracks in a format that is prefixed by the track number (for filename). This can be done in Windows Media Player and other programs. Somehow you ripped tracks without the track number first (which would solve your problem). You tracks should look like "0-Come Together-Bealtes.wma" or something like this. This is the FILENAME, as you would see in Windows Explorer. The track info is not visible in Windows Explorer views. You can see it from Windows Media Player or Creative Media Source Organizer, though. Other players like Zen Micro and Touch sort tracks and build the library database on ID3 Tag info, not filenames.

Zen Nano Plus - Used Battery vs. New Battery Prob

I downloaded some WMA files from Walmart.com and successfully transferred them to my Zen Nano Plus. They played fine. But the battery, which was already low on power, died. I switched in a new battery and tried playing WMA files, but they would only play for about three seconds before the mp3 player shut off.
I switched back in the old battery and the WMA files played just fine.
Both the old and new battery play the MP3 files, so there's no problem there.
Is the problem related to voltage or something? Please help.

Can't power on Zen Nano Plus

I have a Zen Nano Plus gb. The unit powered off so I replaced the battery as it was weak. Now it won't power up. I tested the batteries and tried different batteries. No help. The display blinks on and off at /4 second intervals. When I connect it to the USB port the display lights but without the Logo and my PC thinks it is unattached. Mine is about 0 months old. Does anyone know if it is still on warranty and what can be done? Thanks.

I just went to the page?http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&x=29&y=6and downloaded the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 file after filling all the info out in the drop down menus. I just installed it and I was good to go. The only issue I really had was installing the application from the CD which I mentioned earlier.But the application from the website installed with no problem whatsoever. I wish I could tell you something that would help as I know your frustration.Are you sure you downloaded the correct version for ME?You might ask someone if you really need this application to put music on you device because it seems like your device just acts like another dri've and you can just drag and drop into your device. I'm not sure about that so ask st so it doesn't mess up you player.or you might be able to use some other apllication to transfer your files to the player?Good luck and be persistent,JoeMessage Edited by joenanoplus on 2-26-200608:3 AM

I can't install the Zen nano Plus software on my pc. He

Hi,I've read some people have the same problem I do, but no solutuion. When I try to install the zen nano plus cd that came in the package, it comes up with a window saying : "the windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product". The nano plus is supposed to work with windows ME which I have?and I think I meet all the other requirements. Could they have mislabeled a cd?I tried installing it with the antivirus turned off with ca antivirus. Thanks for any help,Joe?

Just got Zen Nano Plus -- aweso

Hey--
So... I just got a Zen Nano Plus yesterday. $60 on Amazon.
It's awesome. It's exactly what I was looking for; while I don't know about the durability, I'm surprised that it came with an arm band and rubber case with a belt clip; I don't think Amazon mentioned those. Anyway, it's great; the FM recording *does* work, and is decent quality. My only complaints would have to be the lack of bookmarks -- while the entire device has resume, you can't resume at a specific point in a file. Hence, if I use it for audiobooks, the second I play something else, I lose my place. On the upside, the folders are awesome. As is the backlight (my last standalone MP3 player -- I normally use my Palm -- was a 28MB RCA Lyra).
I'm using it on my iBook; it shows up as a dri've in the Finder, and, oddly, as a Nomad MuVo in iTunes. However, while iTunes correctly shows how much space is used/left, it only shows the files in the root directory. It'd be neat if they could rig up fake playlists to represent folders... but one of the reasons I bought the ZNP as opposed to a more expensi've/fancier model was that it doesn't need jukebox software to load music.
So far, it works beautifully. I would definitely recommend it, especially at the current price of $55 on Amazon.

It's good to hear that you like your player. Could you post the number of the firmware version that came on your player seeing as it still has FM Recording - Creative removed it and then put it back, but they haven't made the new version available to us old-timers yet. PB
