Zen Nano Plus, I listen to talking books, I can only get 256 files on my zen, HELP PLE

I have plenty of space left. What can I do

Do not transfer all your audio files to the player root directory. Try deleting a few of them first then create a folder. Move these audio files to the folder instead.

Zen Nano Plus--Nothing happens when I try to rip from my cd player to the Zen Nano pl

Please HELP!! I just bought my Zen Nano Plus last week(st mp3 player I ever owned). I've tried to rip cds from my stereo to the Nano but nothing happens. The encoding bar appears but shows no progress. Could I be plugging the cord in the wrong place? I plugged it in where you would normally plug in headphones into the stereo. Any suggestions?

I did get the line in connector, however, the only place it fits into the stereo is where you would normally plug in the headphones and that's where I plugged it in. As I mentioned earlier, the status bar does not show any progress when I press the play button.

Zen NANO Plus doesn't switch more than 2 songs

Hi i have a problem with my new Zen nano plus mp3-player...
I can only switch 2 songs. If i switch to the thrid song the player automaticly shut down.
In the config menue i can switch as long as i want and the player doesn't shut down.
I formated the player in FAT32 and in FAT - System but it doesn't work acctually (Fastformatation).
And: If i wanna call the German Service hotline (+353 4380000) i only reach an private guy. I tipped in my telephon: 353 4380000 <-- is it right? Or are there any numbers before the "+" ?

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.

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 1GB Dead Lines (Pixels) on

Hi,
I recently bought a Zen Nano Plus from japan. Once I'm back to Thailand, I found my GB Zen Nano Plus has one line disappeared from the LCD. It was OK as long as I happy with the quality of it. After one month, there were 4 lines was disappeared from my LCD screen. Then I can't read my screen.
The question is, Now I'm in Thailand but I bought my Zen Nano from Japan. How can I claim my LCD to get it fix?
Please help ((

Hi Nitipong! the same happened to me, but I bought it in USA and now I'm in Brazil. What you did to get it fixed?

Zen nano plus 1GB not fully connec

Just tried to connect a new Zen Nano plus gb to my XP machine. 
I can see it in Device Manager (both disk dri'ves and USB) and it says its working properly

But, it takes about 5 min to appear on Explore and then it freezes Explore and cant be read.

I have installed the Creative Mass storage drivers.

I've tried to update the firmware to .3.03 (from .2.03) but no go. It recognized it in recovery mode and sets a driver but the .3.03 install program takes it out of recovery with no changes to the firmware (it keeps searching for a compatible device with no luck)

I have also tried different USB ports, checking the power lever (which is OK) and assigning a device letter but Disk Management wont see it until after 5 min and then the device is not available

Very Quirky - any suggestion?

I'm about to send it back (very disappointed with Creative Support as I own Jukebox III and just lost my MuVo.

Thanks in advance,
David

Yes, thanks,?
I tired that and so many more things (restarting, deleting driver and re-installing, deleting media program, different USB ports, checking power allocations for ports, different cables etc.)
I'm a smart guy (BSEE) and spent about 5 hours trying to get this thing to work and no go - still quirky so I just dropped it off at the Post Office to return to Amazon.
Honestly, it not worth my time to spend 5 hours trying to get it to work after paying good money for it. Poor QC testing, poor firmware, and poor support.
What I don?t understand is why Creative doesn?t admit that these devices have a problem and either recall them or fix them. Look at the number of hits the "Zen Nano Plus Connection Problems " thread has! Over 200 hits.
This is obviously a problem and they have their head in the sand. And it irks me when companies do this; release a product that is faulty and let their customers sort it out.
I suggest a thread that logs the problems with respect to each device.
Example:
Thread: Zen Nano Plus Problems:
) connection problems: 493
2) Automatically powering off problems: 327
3) Etc
Each person could add their one occurrence to the running total and someone could sort through and actually find the number of occurrences a problem happens. This can get a company to own up to larger design and QC issues which they shove out the door to boost the bottom line.
But what do I know, I just stumbled upon this site googling ?Zen Nano Plus Connection Problems?
I'm moving on now and thank everyone for their help.
Best of luck,D

Downloading a book on CD to my Zen Nano Plus mp3 pla

Does anyone know the best way to download a cd book to my Zen Nano plus Player?
thanks
pejid

I have a MuVo TX FM for audio books, but I imagine the procedure would be the same for your Zen Nano.
There may be faster/easier ways, but this is what I do:
I use the "Free CD Ripper" (http://koyotstar.free.fr) to rip the CDs to MP3 files on my computer. Each disk's files are stored in a separate folder. I use the book name and disk number for the album name (e.g. Book Title 0). Go to the configuration screen to set the file name to be Album - Track (%A - %N). I find ripping at 48Kbps is sufficient for my ear and it saves space. After that, I can just copy the folders to my player and listen. On my player everything is played in alphabetical order, so the above naming scheme works quite well.
As an improvement, you can use MP3 Book Helper (http://mp3bookhelper.sourceforge.net/) to rename the tracks from "Track 0" to include the book name, disk number and track: "Hobbit 0-05". On my player there is about 6 characters of space available for displaying the track name while playing and it is nice to easily see where you are in the book.
Finally, note that some Creative players have a 40 folder and 500 file limit on what they can detect/play. So you need to be careful not to overfill your player. It won't hurt it, but some files and folders won't be playable. To fully use the space available, you could use an MP3 Joiner to combine the files together in order to stay under the limit. At this point I haven't bothered with this step since I can still store two books without exceeding the limit.
Good luck,
Doug

Zen Nano Plus Playb

When I turn off my Zen Nano Plus, I want the player to resume from where I left off (usually in the middle of my audio book), but it goes back to the beginning of the file. It only started doing this recently... Is there a setting I can change so I can listen from where I left off? Thanks, Dave

It should work every time but sometimes doesn't. Others have noticed that it is more likely to resume where you finished if your pause the track first before shutting the player off.

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: 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.

My Creative Zen Nano Plus bro

my Creative Zen Nano Plus mp3 player stopped working after i dropped the mechanical part. When I checked it, I didn't see any chip marks or anything, but still it won't work. Can anyone help me? I'll post up pictures if u need me too, and I'll show how it broke.

i cant find where this other guy who said like the same thing
They must have been talking about a different player such as the Zen Micro which does recharge via the USB port.

Zen Nano Plus Volume Trou

I have a Zen Nano Plus, and for some strange reson the 'volume up' button won't work, yet the 'volume down' button will. I pressed the 'volume down' button too many times, however, and now the volume is on 0. I can press 'volume up' all I want, yet nothing happens. I would appreciate some help, because I really want to listen to my tunes.

It could be a hardware fault as BaconBits suggests but it might be a firmware glitch. Try reloading the firmware. Even if it is hardware then the firmware reload will set the player back to a default volume setting - at least then you can use it.
You can get the latest version from the Creative Downloads pages or version .03.02 from DAPJukebox. Try to load the same version as you already have to save any other problems. Backup your music to your PC first.

Don't buy 1GB Zen Nano Plus!

After trying countless attempts to resolve the issue of my Zen Nano Plus turning off by itself after 0-5 seconds, I have decided to return the product. I did as their Customer Tech Support said ( install the firmware, hit the reset button, hit the reset button and then try to install the firmware...), but nothing worked. I had owned the mp3 player for only day, and was never able to listen to any of the music I downloaded onto it. Yesterday I purchased a Samsung player, and hope to have better luck with it.

Ok... Maybe If you woulod have asked help here some ppl like me would have helped you! I bought one (Zen Nano Plus Gb) for my mom and it works perfectly. I found out that if you are using the compact mode in the creative media explorer it makes a mysterious problem with the mp3. This fonction transfers songs into wma format to save space. But I don't know why, when you use this, your mp3 close for no reason after 0 to 5 seconds. What I did is that I remove all the transfered song and I transfered the original version (in mp3 fornat) to the mp3. To my surprise it worked perfectly!!!
Creative could you please check your software or the firmware compatibility with that fonction!?
And by the way, next time you got something that doesn't work as it should, remember to ask on the forums, it also helps!
Thanks

Zen Nano Plus, I listen to talking books, I can only get 256 files on my zen, HELP PLE
