Zen Nano Plus par

I have a Zen Nano Plus, and apparently my battery lid cover broke. I dropped it by accident and the lid just cracked. It won't attach to the mp3 player anymore. The stupid thing was, I only dropped it at a height of 5cm and it broke. The mp3 is still fine and all, it's just that the cover won't attach, and it looks ugly without it. Plus, I now have to use some sort of material to stick it to the battery. It's disgusting. Does Creative sell spare parts for this? I want a new battery cover for my mp3 player but I don't know what to do. I need desperate help!Message Edited by mrsway on 05-04-200709:43 PM

Hi,I was afraid of that.
That stinks.
This player is severely handicapped for what I need it for then. I wish I realized that before I bought it.

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

. 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.

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 WON'T START / RECOVERY / RES

Hello ZNP friends and fellow victims of frustration,
I have the GB Zen Nano Plus and a Windows XP operating system. My Zen is just over 3 months old, and a few days ago I started having the "stuck on Logo or hour glass (building library) problem". Like many of you, it has frustrated me beyond belief in my attempts to correct it. I'm certainly not a computer whiz, but I'm fairly good at following clear, numbered, valid instructions. I have tried many of the offered cures for this problem as provided in the discussion forum. None have worked for me.
I have just stumbled onto/into the fix for the WON'T START / RECOVERY / RESCUE problem. At least, I hope it lasts. The bad news is that I don't know or remember the steps for the cure. The good news is that the problem can be fixed. In the frustration of trying a million variations on the steps offered in the discussion area, I happened to fix my nano plus. I was becoming like a hyper zealot playing a slot machine.
What I do remember is this:
) I did download the application ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF___0 and install it, and put an icon on my desktop so I could activate it easily.
2) I did double click it to call it up.
3) I attached my nano plus via USB to the computer. I don't remember if I had to do that before or after bringing up the above application. (You may have to try both.)
4) I did leave the battery out of the nano plus during this operation.
5) I was required to reformat the nano plus which eliminated anything on it. When the instruction came on to reformat, it said "... area" so I was worried that the reformat might include more than the device itself but it didn't.
6) Then I loaded a song, disconnected the device from the computer, put in a battery, and it started fine.
What a task that whole process was! Of course I'm not telling you anything new. I was tempted to just get on with life, but then I thought I should really share this with those of you who have been in the trenches...to let you know that a cure is possible.
Creative should really have a clear set of instructions by now for fixing this problem.
Good luck!
Buck

Have you updated the firmware? this could be the major cause. Also, MP3 has far fewer kinks as a uni'versal format than WMA. If possible, I highly suggest using MP3 on MP3 players.

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!

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.

Problem with zen-nano-plus!! please help

i have the zen-nano-plus 52mb. and i try to update the firmware with latest version but i don't delete the music files in it.
i have started the instalation and the program asked me to delete the files on zen. (i didn't care keeping the files, so i continue the instalation)

Go to Creative.com and click the Support link. Look for the firmware driver for your Zen Nano and follow the directions. I had to do this to fix my Zen Nano Plus, because it had the exact same problem that yours had.
Good luck!

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
MarkMessage Edited by ClownDogger on 0-3-2006 05:06 AM

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 Lin In Iss

I have a Zen Nano Plus. I purchased it for recording church messages. I run the cord from the line in to the church sound board. The recording is good, however, the nano sometimes shuts down during the middle of the sermon. What would cause this problem
? Is there a special setting or fix?Please help

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. There is no setting for this as this isn't normal behaviour. I'd suggest loading the latest firmware onto the unit and also checking the box "Format Data Area" when given the option to during the firmwares install.
The firmware is available from here .

Zen Nano Plus: Line in recording from micropho

I've got a Creative Zen Nano Plus and was very happy about its ability to encode MP3s from the line in jack.
Since the integrated microphone is not very good for recording (especially loud music) I tried to connect a microphone to the line in jack. Unfortunately I had to recognise that it doesn't record anything no matter if "Sync Track" is on or off.
I'd be glad if someone can tell me what exactly the problem is. Do I need some kind of special microphone (I read somewhere that it has to be "pre-amped", whatever that may mean) or is the line in jack designed for just recording from devices like a CD player? Help is very much appreciated. :-)

Big bump.
I did some research quite a while ago and thought that I should report the results for people also having that problem.
A line-in jack is not a microphone-in jack. The difference between them is that the former is not supplied with electricity, so it can't power simple external microphones on its own. Thus, a real microphone-in jack is needed, though none of the Creative products has one included. You will still need a pre-amped microphone to get recordings with proper volume, though. A good and cheap solution is the Archos Stereo Microphone that comes with a preamplifier including volume adjust (http://www.archos.com -> Accessories -> Audio accessories).
Microphone-in jacks can be found for example in the iri'ver iFP-7** and iFP-8** series. Since this players are discontinued and newer models don't have these jacks, it's kind of hard to still use that feature.
