The manual that came on the CD with your player (or get it from the website - see the link below) has this info in. It is much better than the hardcopy manual.

Zen Nano Plus static on voice recordings while driv

I have a Zen Nano Plus GB and I'm pleased with the quality of the voice recorder in general.
However, all voice recordings I've made inside an automobile traveling over 55 MPH contain a lot of very loud static interference noises. I was hoping to create most of my voice memos while driving, but the recordings I've made while driving (in two different cars) are unusable because of this frequent static sound. I've tried holding the device in different positions (near the window, away from the steering column, above my head, etc.) and it does not seem to help. This does not happen in any other situation.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Then what is the point of recording FM if you can't even save it's I'm just going to have to convert it the old fashioned way, but before I do, I want to note that the SOLE reason I got the Zen Nano Plus is because I wanted to record an event off FM. No, there is no prohibited copyright stuff on this, it's all meant to be recorded. I really wish this would be worth the money, but it seems that I am going to have to get another MPIO. Easier to use and fewer nuisances.
The shame...

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.

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 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 .

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.

Creative Zen Nano Plus audio line-in recor

Im planning to buy Creative Zen Nano Plus GB.
. Does Creative Zen Nano Plus audio line-in recoreder offer excellent quality of sound music when you record a certain music through a CD player's line-in?
2. Please rate the quality of recorded sound music from to 0.
3. Does the recorded sound quality the same as when you just download the music file through your PC's USB connection?
thanks.

Is there something I need to set in the player to allow it to play out of it's line-in function?
You connected the ZNP's headphone out to your car|shelf|portable stereo's line-in, right? The line-in on the ZNP itself is only used to record external audio sources onto the player. The stereos may need to be set to play back from their line-inputs if they don't detect the signal and switch automatically, but that should be explained in the corresponding manuals.

I have a Creative ZEN Nano Plus

Can someone tell me how or direct me to the advantage on the Line In connection. How do I plug in to and transfer music from another CD or device to put music on my Player ?TC

I'm a bit unclear on how you do direct Line In recording, as I don't have a Zen Nano Plus- my brother does. We tried it a few times, but found that it was much faster to rip the CDs on the computer and transfer from it, rather than wait for the Zen Nano Plus to copy the CD in real time.
However, the Zen Nano Plus manual gives these instructions:
Synchronizing MP3 encoding
If you are encoding songs from a CD or MiniDisc, enable Sync Track (SYNC) so that your player will encode the songs from your source as separate tracks. Your player will automatically stop when the last song is played. Sync Track is enabled by default.
In the MP3 Encoding screen, press the Scroller.
Scroll Select the Sync Track option and turn Sync Track on or off. When Sync Track is turned on, appears at the top right corner of the MP3 Encoding screen.

Hi
I've had my player since September 2005 and have NEVER had any trouble out of it until 2 days ago. The problem...When I am listening to a track and use the wheel to back it up and listen to it again or the track before it, the player shuts off. I've been reading the posts here and realize I probably need some new firmware but which one do I need. Also my daughter has a 52 mb player that started doing the same thing.
thanks in advance

August22,
The new firmware for the Zen Nano Plus is available on the Downloads page, it was released on the 25th of August. It includes this fix:
Resolves the issue of your player (battery level full) turning off, while playing a 28 kbps DRM-protected WMA file. </LI>
Please note that (as it states in the details fiel) this firmware does remove your player's FM recording feature.

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

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...

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
