Zen Nano Plus - Only able to hear some so

Here it goes - I got a Nano Plus for Xmas. I loaded the software and started putting music on it by the drag and drop method via Media Player. Although I downloaded about 70 songs, I can only play 30 of them. When I look in Explorer, all of the songs are there - in folders (by artist name). So, I know all my songs are on my MP3 player. I've read some things about folders. Apparently, I can't seem to get to these folders. Anyone have any ideas? I bet it's pretty simple. Thanks.

I had the exact same problem. I had ripped many tracks from my extensi've CD collection using the Creative MediaSource Organizer. When I disconnected my Zen Nano Plus from the computer, however, not all of my songs were visible. When I reconnected and looked on the Organizer, they were all there!?I followed the advice given by PB and dragged all my subfolders containing audio tracks out into the main Music folder and deleted all the empty folders. This solved my problem effecti'vely. Thanks PB!

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

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 messed up install of Zen Nano Plus 1

Windows XP Home SP2
Windows Media Player 0 (will use with Zen Nano Plus)
Dell 8250
?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
During the CD install, I had some questions and interruptions that required me to cancel, exit and say ?yes? to I did not want to install at this time, but it installed some files. I did not connect the player to my computer because of the manual?s warning to not connect player to computer before setting up the software.
A search for Creative and Creative Zen brought up the following files on my computer:
C:\Program Files\Creative\Product Registration\English
C?\Program Files\Creative\Shared Files\CTregSvr and PdtIdMgr.pid
C:\Program Files\RealPlayer\Devices had 7 Creative and Creative Zen files
I have an Iomega Zip USB mass storage device on my system which is always powered up. It is used as I go along as a 2nd backup.
Some other threads here recommend not using the install CD and not installing the software, but suggest connecting player and letting Windows XP recognize and install drivers. This is what I did with my Zip dri've. I dislike putting software I don?t need on my computer. I will be using the Nano Plus just for music, and maybe on occasion the AM/FM.
So?..here are my questions:
. Install with CD or connect to computer and let Windows do its thing?
2. Will the Zip dri've cause a problem and should I power it down and disconnect from the computer when installing and using the Nano Plus?
3. Are there more files lurking about in the Registry and where? (I am O.K. working in the Registry) ? I would like to make everything clean and start fresh with a clean install, unless this is not recommended.
4. If I do need to use install CD is a full or custom recommended?
I will appreciate any assistance and information offered.
My thanks.
Miki

I thought I would let y'all know my Nano Plus is installed and my USB Iomega Zip still permanently resides undisturbed in my F:\ dri've and when I connect the Nano Plus, it is recognized by G:\ as it should be.
I called Creative support and so I dd not have to use the install CD, the tech E-mailed me the drivers. When I began the install, I was asked to uninstall any mass storage devices before I installed, which I did......actually I just unplugged the Zip dri've so Windows would not know it existed. The tech said it was better to install their drivers than not; otherwise with WMP I would only be able to drag and drop.
So.......that's my story

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

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?

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.

Zen Nano Plus armband in Austra

Hi all
I've spent a lot of time researching what mp3 player to buy. I eventually decided on the Zen Nano Plus due to it's size, features, good reviews, and being able to use the armband for running and gym work.
Until I discovered the armband is unavailable in Australia! According to the Creative website, the armband is a standard accessory included in the box if you li've in the US. In the UK, it is available from the website as an optional accessory. But it's not available at all in Australia.
Without starting a discussion on why Creative would market in this way, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might source an armband, with or without the player? I am happy to purchase from US websites, but I haven't come across any that will ship to Australia. Creative themselves certainly don't, neither the US or UK sho
ps.
Does anyone know of an online US retailer that will ship to Australia? Does anyone have one that they don't want?
Cheers

Woohoo! Success, at last.
Found an Australian online retailer that ships to Australia (obviously). It looks like this mob has imported a stack of Zen Nano Plus's, complete with silicon case and armband.
http://www.mp4store.com.au/category4_2/product222/product_info.html
I ordered late on Monday night and it was in my hands on Wednesday morning. About $255. And the best bit - available in orange! Most retailers only seem to stock black or white. Also in light blue or silver apparently.
Very happy, finally. Thanks to all for trying to help.
Clowndogger - I hope you haven't switched to iri'ver!

Zen nano plus suddenly isn't recognized by WMP 11

Hi there. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on my PC. And I've had no issues with Windows Media Player recognizing my Zen Nano Plus - until this week. It just isn't. All of a sudden it's only showing as a removeable disk. I can access music files and what not - but I'd really like to be able to sync again. Has anyone experienced this problem?
I did download the new firmware and install it - but still having the issue. I'd appreciate your help and feedback thanks!

Re: zen nano plus suddenly isn't recognized by WMP n I do have that and while I can still add music and what not - I honestly just prefer going in one way through WMP . However, I did a System Restore Point today to a point to which I had thought I could still sync - and now when I open Windows Media Player it does recognize my device.
Interesting point - my device now has the udpated firmware; because I had updated last week. And AFTER I did the System Restore, and then plugged in my device, it reinstalled the driver and Windows Media Player did recognize it. So I wonder if this has to do with the new firmware installation; although WMP did stop recognizing my device prior to my updating the firmware. (That is what led me to look for the update in the first place)
However, this seems to have fixed my complaint. For the moment. Thank you for your response and suggestion!

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 wont play for more than 5 seconds at a ti

I recently bought a new Creative Zen Nano Plus and thought I was getting a good reliable product. It synced in WMP like it should but when I unplugged it from my computer and tried to listen to the songs it will boot up and start playing a song but then shut off 3 seconds later. I formatted it and updated the firmware and drivers on the player and my computer but it still wont play for more than a few seconds at a time. I tried changing the battery and leaving it plugged in but neither of the above worked. I would appreciate some help. Thanks.

Same issue with me - only mine won't even power on now...
I am waiting on reply from customer support...

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, blee

I have a Zen Nano Plus and every so often it makes this bleep/beep sound. At first I thought it was just the battery getting low but it doesn't seem to be. Is it supposed to do that?
Thanks.

Any pattern to when it happens? Does it happen when you play the files on your pc? Does it happen only when playing protected files? There might be some quirks with some protected files. I seem to vaguely remember reading something about that. If the files play perfectly on the pc, then installing the new firmware might solve the problem. Make sure you have copies of the files on the pc before installing the new firmware, as installing it will delete the files stored on the player.

Problems running creative zen nano plus and nomad muvo on same compu

We have 2 nomad muvo mp3 players and now a zen nano plus .Have had constant problems with the media organiser .
Installed zen nano plus and selected enable smart fit to get maximum amount of songs and it worked fine but as soon as we tried to install software for the 2 nomad players it would not work smart fit for any of them.
Uninstalled everything and got the zen software in and it was running ok but then seemed to have problems and although smart fit was enabled it just copied files as the original mp3.
It then fatally crashed yesterday and I am awaiting a replacement as I had only had it for 2 days.
Is it possible to run all 3 and to be able to use smart fit on all 3 players or am I better off having just one working and using the file converter for the other 2.

<FONT face=Helv size=2>
Make sure that you have installed the MediaSource plugin for MuVo in order to get SmartFit You have to access SmartFit via the MuVo node of the Sources window in MediaSource. You won't see SmartFit if you access your MuVo via the My Computer node of the Sources window in MediaSource..
Here is what you should do to get the latest MediaSource software:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.
- (Depending on your firmware)
Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MuVo plugin .0.05 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.
