Zen Nano Plus -- "Cannot create file .

Why not?! I've been transferring & deleting songs since I bought the Zen Nano Plus and now all of a sudden, I can't place songs into it. Help please.

Have you put all of your files into the root folder?
If so, create a sub-folder and put your files in there. Then you will be able to fill up the player.
If not, have you tried reloading the firmware?

Problem with Creative Zen Nano Plus 1 GB mp3 player please r

I bought zen nano plus? month ago and while i was transfering music into it it crashed ,? it looked like its no more readable so i disconected it from my pc , it needed format , i did format and tried to transfer some music again but the same problem appeared . I thought the memory card of the player is damaged and needs to be changed or repaired? , i gave it to customer support and after a few days they said they installed newer software version to the player , well i thought it will fix the problem . Once i got home i tried to transfer music and it crashed again , i couldnt even format it cause when i plug in the mp3 F: ( usb dri've ) does not respond. I gave the mp3 to customer support again , they filled up the mp3 with music six times and everything worked fine. But at home it still crashes while transfering , so i dont know what to think . On the packet where the mp3 was when i bought is written WORKS WITH WINDOWS VISTA ,?currently i have windows xp ,? can it be that i can only transfer music without prloblems with windows vista ? can it be that zen nano plus is created to use with windows vista ? Thanks for reading !

Did you install the driver on your PC? If not, then do it. Try reformatting the player as FAT. Next try tranferring a few folders full of mp3 files. Use windows explorer to drag and drop the folders? with files to the player. Now see if the player will play them.

ZEN NANO PLUS MICROPHONE FUNCT

HELLO, I'M SEARCHING SOMEONE WHO CAN EXPLAIN ME HOW DOES IT WORK THE MICROPHONE OF THE ZEN NANO PLUS TO MAKE EXTERNAL RECORDING.AT THE BEGINNING WHEN I BOUGHT THE MP3 PLAYER IT WORKED VERY WELL, LATER THE RECORDING WORKS BUT AT THE END THE DISPLAY SHOWS A WAV FILE.WHEN YOU PRESS IN THE DISPLAY THE KEY OF THE RECORDED FILES APPEARS "NO REGISTRATION".WHY SO, WHEN THE RECORD WORKED?THE SAME FILE CREATED IN THE MP3 CAN BE READ IN THE PC WHEN THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE PC. THIS IS VERY STRANGE. IN SHORT,THE PIECE RECORDED CANNOT BE LISTENED INTO THE MP3 PLAYER.iS THERE SOMEONE THAT CAN HELP ME?(THE INSTRUCTION OF THE PRODUCT DOESN'T DISCUSS AT ALL ABOUT THESE TECHNICAL THINGS)THANK YOU.

Are you going to the option of the player called "Recordings" to listen to the recorded file, or are you trying to access them from the "music" menu?
With my older V200, (not the same, but pretty close) I had to go to the "recordings" menu to listen to any microphone or FM recording... My zen Neeon is also the same...
(About the Wav thing, I think that all the older players that could record did so In wav. format... Although a lot of the newer players allow you to change that now...

My zen nano plus prob

I uploaded the holy bible audio in my Zen nano plus mp3 I bought three days ago. totally 66 folders, but can only show up 38 folders, new testament 2, old testament 7, I try to delete, format, and upload again, the problem is still here.
two friends met the same problem. one is the zen nano, the one is the <FONT color=#333333>Muvo TX FM.
If any body have the same problem before, thanks a lot for your gus help.

There is a maximum number of folders supported by the players and it depends on the firmware version. It varies between 50 and 60 folders including the automatically created folders such as Encoded Tracks and Recorded Tracks.
This also includes high level folders without files in them - if you had an NT folder with 20 folders in it and an OT folder with 30 folders in it then that would be 52 folders not 50. The last ones alphanumerically are ignored.

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

Creative Zen Nano Plus Im Confu

im confused i dont know how to put songs on my zen nano plus i know you have to rip them off cds but i dont know what to do HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
you can also e-mail me @ [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
thank you ,

You don't need to use midiasource. You can use the free version of mediasource to make mp3 files on your pc from your CDs. www.musicmatch.com Once the mp3 files are on your computer's hard dri've, you can use Windows Explorer(right click on start, click on explore) to copy mp3 files to the player. First create folders on the player using windows explorer, then use windows explorer to copy songs into the folders on the player.

Zen Nano Plus - Dead after 20 minu

Just received my player this morning. Connected and transferred a couple of albums via windows explorer. Disconnected and had a listen, sound was ok. Reconnected to add some more music. Paste operation froze windows explorer, safely remove hardware button did nothing and the only option was a hard reset. Now player wont switch on at all, not even a logo screen and pc doesn't recognize it so cannot reflash the firmware. Most disappointing.

Thanks for the tips shellshock. I spent quite some time yesterday trying to bring the player back to life to no avail, so its now winging its way back to Amazon.
Basically it went something like:
: 8am. Grab parcel from postman and unwrap excitedly
2: Plug player into spare usb port, my 64 bit OS recognised it straight away as a 'Zen Nano Plus' so no additional driver install necessary which is just as well because there doesn't seem to be one for 64 bit versions of Windows
3: Open windows explorer and copy two folders across to player as with any UMS device (Supertramp and Erik Satie no less)
4: Unplug player, have a listen for a few minutes and farmiliarise with the menu operations and manual
5: Reconnect player to PC, which again recognizes it correctly
6: Attempt to copy and paste a further folder of mp3's to the player using windows explorer at which point onimously the hourglass mouse cursor indicates work in progress without any sign of a progress bar appearing to indicate files in transit (the player does however display a data transfer in progress animation
7: After a couple of minutes ctl-alt-del clearly indicates windows explorer (and hence the data transfer operation) have stopped responding (my pc it should be noted has a respectable spec, was built last summer is not crash prone for no reason)
8: Bollocks says I, this is not quite going to plan. Forcing the process closed via task manager and attempting to use the 'safely remove hardware' function in the system tray locks the computer up totally forcing a hard reset
9: The Nano in the meantime has stopped displaying the data transfer animation so I unplug it from the PC and power it down thinking 'oh well, hardware is known to crash occassionally, i'll need to recopy the files after a reboot no doubt'. Hah, I should be so lucky.
0: Nano now refuses to start full stop. Not even a logo. Removing and replacing batteries minutes later as recommended has no effect, holding down the power button for over a minute has no effect, different batteries have no effect
: The PC now seems to think the dead Nano is a 'STMP3500' (i'm guessing this is the chipset used by the player) and furthermore wants drivers to match. Downloading latest drivers from Creative is useless as they are only 32 bit and will not work with Windows XP 64bit, so the PC is now having none of the dead Nano
2: Attemping to activate the emergency reset by attaching the Nano to a USB port (various ports tried) whilst holding down the power button for 20 seconds or so (several times) proves futile as all my PC now wants is drivers for a goddam 'STMP3500'!
3: Latest firmware from Creative does run ok but totally fails to find the player
4: 3pm. Player is unceremoniously re-wrapped with curses into its packaging and marched to the post office for despatch to Amazon's returns department for a refund
My guess is that the failed data transfer managed to wipe or corrupt the player firmware. I'm sure all computer users are used to system crashes now and again, but they certainly wouldn't expect to have to buy new hardware each time it happened. Creative R&D department should maybe revisit the way the Nano's OS is written and protected.
After all that i'm still searching for a decent mp3 player but can find none to match the spec of the Nano at the price. Reviews of cheaper alternati'ves indicate poor battery life and questionable sound quality. Iri'ver T30 doesn't support UMS so thats a no go.
All in all a pretty negati've experience. Perhaps I was just unlucky, maybe once the refund comes through I might even give the Nano another shot, especially as the price has just dropped again by about 3 quid on Amazon......

Zen Nano Plus bricked by Recovery Tool?

Re: Books on Cd I went ahead and attempt to install the latest firmware upgrade. At this time the upgrade seems to be progressing.
Okay. The player has successfully booted up
Success. After removing Windows Media Player , I was able to install the latest firmware upgrade. I have several follow-up questions. Most important question is #
. I wonder why the Zen Micro Media Explorer is not available to me. It is all grayed out. Any suggestions on how to get it to work
2. Is the Zen Micro Media Explorer a logical substitute to employing the Windows Media Player 0 It seems to have everything I need .
3. How am I able to create a new playlist in the device if I cannot access this application
4. When I select Playlist on the device, I see a message that says: To create a playlist select from the Now Playing context menuWhat is that all about and where do I roam to do this
Thanks very much for your help
Richard One of my new Zen Nano Plus appears to have been bricked by my use of the Recovery Tool, when it was misbehaving. This happended before with another Zen Nano Plus we had, but we fixed that over a year ago and it works fine now.
Actuallly, it's one of 6 my family has - plus we have lots of other Creative products (a Micro, Zen, Vado, X Mod etc). While its almost brand new, its was purchased on eBay in 2008.
Usually the first thing is to update the firmware, and tried the Recovery Tool hoping it had been updated - but now my Zen Nano Plus dows not turn on or get connected, and I tried to PCs and several USB cords and various USB connections.
I undertand a Zen Nano Plus does not have a Recovery Mode but did try usual method.
. Remove the battery, and press & hold the Play button will connectiong to the PC.
2. Keep pressing play for about 0 second until the New Hardware Wizard starts - that will only happen the first time.
3. Completete the New Hardware Wizard
I believe it may need to be reformatted, but is not totally bricked and can be repaired.
Is it possible to get a get a Zen Nano Plus into Recovery Mode, or connect it to a PC so I can reformated
Thanks!

take it back to the store and buy something other than a creative. My nano plus crapped out after less than 6 months. Creative will not replace it, even though the warranty is for 2 months. Worst customer service I have ever seen.

Zen Nano Plus: How to resolve issues with installing firmware 1.14

So .... I managed to kill my Zen Nano Plus when installing firmware version .4.03, but fortunately I've managed to bring it back to life again. :-)
Here's what I did wrong, and how you can avoid the mistakes that I made ...
I attempted to install the newly released "Creative ZEN Nano Plus Firmware .4.03" from my Windows 2000 system. However, I had not previously installed the "Creative Mass Storage Driver .07.00.250". In fact there seemed to be no reason to install these mass storage drivers as the Nano Plus player was always recognized by my system. However, while installing the firmware upgrade, it seems that the player is set to recovery mode and therefore the mass storage driver needs to be installed prior to upgrading the firmware.
I realized this partway through the firmware upgrade when prompted for the "StMp3Rec.sys" driver. I then successfully installed the mass storage driver then attempted to continue with the firmware upgrade. Unfortunately, the firmware software "froze" and the process had to be killed. My Nano Plus player now wouldn't turn on and my system would not recognize it. I then read how to set the player in recovery mode, and was able to see the player listed as "STMP3500" when examining my attached USB hardware (using the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" dialog).
To install the driver, I then looked at all hardware in my "Device Manager" (right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", choose the "Hardware" tab, click on the "Device Manager" button) then selected the "STMP3500" device. Right clicking and selecting "Properties" (or double clicking) brings up the properties dialog and from there I chose the "Reinstall Driver" button. I specified the driver location: "C:\Program Files\Creative\Creative Mass Storage Drivers\StMp3Rec.sys" and the driver then successfully installed. Finally, I successfully installed the firmware upgrade and all is now working well.
Here's the bottom line:
Be sure to install the "Creative Mass Storage Driver .07.00.250" prior to upgrading to the "Creative ZEN Nano Plus Firmware .4.03".
Maybe it is because I beta tested six or seven different Rio MP3 player models (until D&M Holdings discontinued the Rio brand), or because I have worked as a software developer for eight years - but I tend not to install any software that does not appear to be required. The Creative firmware upgrade software could be greatly improved by including a simple check to see if the Creative mass storage drivers are installed before accessing the player.

This has been answered many times here. Delete a few files on the player. Create a few folders on the player. Move the songs on the player into the folders. Now add more songs to the player into the folders. There is a limit on how many items the player will allow in the root.

Zen Nano Plus lost fi

I sync'd over 60 songs with 45 albumn title. My Nano Plus shows only 29 titles and 00 songs. If I check to see what is on my E dri'ves, it shows all 45. You can play all the songs with Windows Media Player. Thanks!

Zen Nano Plus Folder Quest

Hello,
I want to use my Zen Nano Plus to listen to books and to play music. I downloaded a book from my public library (way cool!) and put it in it's own folder. I downloaded a bunch of music and put all that in another folder. My problem is that I can't figure out how to listen to my book for awhile, then listen to music (ideally in shuffle mode) and then go back to the book and not have the book start over from the beginning. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Rachel

what audio format is the book from the library? Typcially, "books on MP3" are split into 0 minute sections. You can do this yourself with a variety of programs. Audible files, of course, will play on your Nano, but you have to buy these. Audible format creates an automatic bookmark where you stop play, which is exactly what you are looking for. You can either make small MP3 files (assuming your book is MP3) and remember which file you stopped on, or you can download books from Audible.com and it works automatically.

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for administra

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for the administrator account; for other users the message "The Zen Nano Plus is not connected. Please connect your Zen Nano Plus to the computer." is displayed, but it *is* connected and works under other programs.
Version is .0.03.
Thanks for any assistance.

How exactly do you do this? I checked this out tonight - when I logged onto my PC using my son's Limited User account (XP Home, BTW) I could connect his N200 and see it in Device Manager and Windows Explorer but both Creative pieces of software (CMS and N200 Media Explorer) did not see that it was there!
I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.
I'm going to see if WMP0 has problems as well or if it's just the Creative ap

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!
