Zen Nano Plus vs. N200: Clicks and pops complete fix

Hi!
I've seen the new Zen Nano Plus at Amazon. Is the Zen a new player or is it just a N200 with a new name?
I've to know that cause I owned a N200 and sent it back. It had that clicks and po
ps.
The Software update helped a lot but didn't fixed the bugs completly at the N200.
Bye and thanks

the muvo n200 is rename as the zen nano plus, so they are basically the same player.
Two extra colours (whoo), and apparently another 2 or 3 hours of battery life (then again, the MuVo did exceed the 5 hours stated in all it's reviews, so no change)
They were rebranded due to the Zen being piece models, and the MuVos being 2 part models.

  • Clicks and pops not fixing when I click...FIX!

    so i selected a track from final cut pro and sent for soundtrack pro audio project. it all opened up in soundtrack pro, and i highlighted the part and click analyze under clicks and pops. It showed me a list of problems, but when i click fix, it does nothing. i tried highlighting the problems and clicking fix, still nothing. soundtrack pro isnt showing me any waveforms either, what am i doing wrong!?

    I'm going to say to do this as a multiclip project, and do it at the end of the process, as you have your video edit all laid out. Then in the browser select the timeline and do your "send to STP multitrack project."
    This kind of analysis has to be done one clip at a time. You do it only on the clips that need it. You can go through the analysis one at a time, or checkoff several at once. That should do it.

  • Zen Nano Plus and N200- the sa

    Yesterday I ordered a N200... or a Nano Plus, actually i don't know since the title said Zen Nano Plus, but the pictures and text said N200. Of course I asked support which I was going to get when I ordered and in their reply they said they are the same but with different name... so I don't really know what i'll get tomorrow, but then I guess it won't matter if they are the same with different name... But are they really the same?

    Hello,
    Just so you don't make a mistake, the 200 and the Zen Nano Plus were different for me. Both I bought were GB but the software was different on the N-200. I was told NOT to load the N-200 on the Zen Nano Plus. I also bought Notmad software and they said that the ZenNanoPlus would be supported soon.
    I mistakenly thought I had to upgrade the firmware to get Audible compatibility. I did not. It was Audible ready out of the box. It was .00.02 from the factory. I got 2 different Creative support people telling me 2 different things...including how to upgrade the firmware with N200. One support said DO NOT do it.
    Finally I got someone who said it was audible ready as it is. I tried it and it worked perfectly. So...just check. I am not sure who was right. All I know is I blew one up once trying to upgrade and I am real cautious now. At this time, I would not trade the Zen Nano Plus for anything......except perhaps for a copy of the new firmware for the Zen Touch ! Had to get that in.

  • Zen Nano Plus will not play all trac

    My Nano Plus will not playback all tracks installed.My Firmware has been updated to .0.03I have formated the Nano Plus via Windows Explorer.
    Tracks have been transferred via Windows Media Player 0 AND Creative MediaSource Organizer 3.30.2 with the same problem. The NanoPlus Mass
    Storage Driver has been updated, too. I have tried it on both a desktop AND a notebook PC. The transferred tracks are combinations of WMA and MP3. Both played and unplayed tracks are a combination of
    WMA-protected, WMA-nonprotected, and MP3, 28/59/60/92kbps -
    nothing unique about the tracks that will not play.
    The tracks have either been ripped from my audio CDs or downloaded via Media Player MSN Music store or MP3 store. I have licensed all tracks and they all play via Windows MediaPlayer and Creative MediaSource Player from my hardri've.
    All tracks show up on the Zen Nano Plus in windows explorer and will play from the NanoPlus via Media Player and Creative MediaSource player, but they will not all play through the NanoPlus.
    All problem tracks (if transferred via
    MediaSource) will either be skipped or the NanoPlus will pause when the NanoPlus is playing or they simply are not
    visible (if transferred via MediaPlayer0).
    The problem tracks are not always the same tracks after I have re-transferred them (I have tired 4
    times to clean/re-transfer tracks). I have 8 tracks and only 36 will play.When transferred via Windows MediaPlayer0, the tracks are organized into multiple folders.When transferred via Creative MediaSource, they are all in the root directory.
    What can I do to get this to work properly?

    That may be it!
    My tracks have been transferred with WMP0 into the following Folder structure:
    MUSIC-AUTHOR-ALBUM-Tracks.
    In Explorer/MediaSource, there is One MUSIC folder containing 65 AUTHOR folders containing 74 ALBUM folders containg 85 Tracks.
    My Zen Nano Plus MENU-MUSIC display shows only 3 Folders -- 3 ALBUM Folders of 36 Tracks -- the tracks that do playback.
    Is this just an organizational problem?
    If so, it's not very handy to Sync....there is nothing in the manual that explains this!
    I'll re-organize and see.
    What is the best FOLDER structure to use?

  • 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 showing Probl

    I am using Zen Nano plus. Somedays back I found it is not showing any of the mp3 files in it addtioanally some picture files also not able see.
    But when I try to see the memory consumed it is showing as if those files are still there. I can't play any music as it is saying a error no music file found. But memory is consumed by those file.
    Then I tried to re-install the firmware to get rid of all this issue, but I found the following error.
    "Sorry, no Creative updates are available for ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe."
    1.Can anyone tell me the link where I can find latest
    Firmware for Zen Nano plus.
    2. And how to get rid of above problem?
    Please let me know if you need more information regarding the problem.
    Thanks in advance

    The firmware ZenNanoPlus_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe isn't available at the download site anymore as it's being replaced with a newer version.
    You should go to the download page and choose the player you have from the category list and get the firmware there.
    What's the website URL that you have mention there's no Zen Nano Plus listing in the category?

  • Zen Nano Plus stuck at USB 1.0 sp

    I've had my zen nano plus for sometime now and I just recently got a new PC with USB 2.0. The thing is that whenever I plug in the player into any of the USB ports, I keep getting the message "This device can work faster...". At first I only thought that maybe it was the motherboard or drivers. But when I plugged in my friends' MUVO 2.0, it didn't get that message. It worked at 2.0 speed. Also, whenever I plug the player in the PC in the office I get 2.0 speed. I've tried everything and I'm still stuck with .0 speed at home. Anyone else have this problem?

    If you do a search of the web you'll find lots of reports of problems with the SIS 700 chipset. It shows up on Device Manager as an Open Host Controller and so is only USB.. There are solutions out there but you'll have to look on the web for them. They've been talked about in here before so search the forum for SIS 700 and you should get some of the posts - look for one by myself as I remember posting a link to a useful website for this problem before.
    Lower down is a single Enhanced Host Controller entry - you need to connect your player so that it shows up under that entry. I bet your friend's player shows up there when connected.

  • Zen Nano Plus - Connection Problems and Firmware Upgrade probl

    Like many others posting on this forum, for a while I had problems trying to get my GB Zen Nano Plus to be recognized by the .0.03 Firmware Update software.
    I eventually got it by doing this:
    While the Firmware Update software was "Searching" for a device, I kept on unplugging and plugging in the Zen Nano Plus from the USB cable while holding down the Play button, unti it "caught". I tried this since I noticed it would initially see the unit saying "A device has been detected in recovery mode...", but then throw the unit into "non-recovery" mode and hence force the Firmware Update software to keep on searching.
    Anyhoo, after it did finally "catch" it (after about 0 times unplugging/plugging while holding the Play button down), it showed my firmware as .03.02, and so I did the upgrade to .0.03. The upgrade said "Complete". I then take the unit off of USB, and put my battery back in. and. uhm. well. Now it won't turn on at all. *sigh*
    So there I go again in the "unplug-plug" loop on trying to get the older .03.02. Finally caught after about 30 times (yes my hands are tired). And after downgrading to .03.02, putting the battery back in, the unit turns on fine.. WHEW.
    So, beware to everyone. Not sure if I'd trust the .0.03 Firmware. Doesnt seem to work on my Zen Nano Plus, and I JUST bought the thing from Circuit City about a week ago.
    And for those of you having problems getting the Firmware Upgrade to work.. try my (tiring) method.
    I tried this on my Dell D600 laptop (actually used the USB ports on the docking station).

    With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
    Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
    ->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    -->PCI Bus
    You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
    Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
    For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
    Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
    While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.

    Try reloading the firmware for your Nano Plus - that sorts out most problems with these players. Go to Support, Downloads and choose MP3 Players, Zen, Nano Plus. Make sure you follow the instructions carefully.

  • 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.

  • Zen Nano Plus and audible

    Hi, I subscribed to audible. From all MP3 players I have the only one audible manager recognizes is Creative Zen Nano Plus. When I try to transfer to player I get message that my program in format 4, creative supports format 2 and 3. Is there a way to upgrade my software? Thanks

    You will not be able to upgrade the player itself to play format 4. It only plays 2 or 3.

  • Zen Nano Plus connection problems - SOLVED (1/2/06)

    I recently bought the Nano Plus. On first installation everything worked fine. I decided to upgrade to the latest drivers and firmware via downloads from the Creative site. At some point during the firmware upgrade, everything seemed to hang. Eventually I had to halt the process, disconnect the player and reboot.
    When I plugged the player back in, it is detected as a USB Mass Storage Device, but Windows Explorer and the Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer both claim that the device is not connected.
    Here's what I have done so far:
    )Uninstalled all drivers and Creative software, rebooted, reinstalled drivers/software, rebooted. When plugging the player in, a brief window pops up saying Zen Nano Plus has been detected. This is followed by USB Mass Storage Device being detected (this window stays up a lot longer, sometimes more than 5-0 minutes before disappearing).
    2)Another uninstall/reinstall, but this time with a registry cleanup in between. Same result.
    3)Tried installing installation cd on partner's laptop and plugging in the player. Absolutely everything works fine. So it's not my player. There must be something I still need to do on my desktop to get everything to work again.
    4)Have also tried plugging into every USB outlet on the desktop. No change.
    My system:
    Windows XP (sp 2)
    3.2 GHz
    Intel 865 chipset
    2 GB RAM
    My Zen Nano Plus is currently running .0.03 firmware (latest).
    On this desktop I am running the latest drivers (Creative Mass Storage Drivers .07.00.250)
    When the player is plugged in, device manager shows no problems. Under Disk Dri'ves, Creative Zen Nano Plus USB Device is listed (and says the driver is from Microsoft, 7//0, version 5..2535.0). Under USB, USB Mass Storage Device is listed (and says the driver is from Microsoft, 7//0, version 5..2600.0).
    I have tried manually updating these drivers to anything listed in the Creative folders upon installation, but it does not detect anything. When I check the drivers listed on the laptop that works with the player, these same driver details show up.
    Any advice would be appreciated. I certainly would hate to only use my partner's laptop every time I want to update my music. I am also frustrated and puzzled as to why my player first worked on my desktop and now doesn't.Message Edited by lcvdw on 0-03-2006 2: AMMessage Edited by lcvdw on 0-03-2006 2:2 AM

  • Zen Nano Plus Connection Probl

    (2)Zen Nano Pluses. Both using firmware .0.03. One Red, one Black (Click and Clack always want to know what color car they are diagnosing...)
    (2) Computers, both XP SP2 with all updates; one called Dad's, one called W's.
    One Zen (for ID, the red one) has been used on Dad's computer without issues for about 3 weeks.
    One Zen, new and color Black, works on Dad's computer, but not on W's computer. W's computer will not properly recognize either the new Nano (the black one) or mine (the Red one), in either Creative MEdia SOurce, or Zen Explorer, or Windows explorer.
    First, I have read the FAQ's. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Nano software. When I use PB's check odd things appear:
    PB's check:
    With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
    Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
    ->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    -->PCI Bus
    You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
    Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
    For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
    Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
    While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties.

    PB
    What appears on Dad's computer, with either Nano, is USB Enhanced Host Controler, USB Root Hub, Generic USB Hub, USB Mass Storage Device, Creative Zen Nano Plus USB Device, Generic Volume. Again, either Nano works on Dad's computer.
    On W's computer, after just having reinstalled the new mass driver, it is USB2 Enhanced Host Controller, USB Root Hub, USB Mass Storage Device, Disk Dri've. On restart from that, it reads Creative Nano Plus USB Device, with no "volume" underneath it, and the oddball icon is not there. I think the oddball icon is associated with the "Disk Dri've". Once it read under Creative ZEn Nano Plus, "Unknown Device". Also, when I attach a Nano to W's computer, it first seems to see the Nano in the New Device Found message, THEN while it is still attached, it says in another New DEvice Found mesage that it has found a Disk Dri've. It also shows some oddball icon I can't decipher, right next to the "safely remove Hardware" icon. The oddball icon does not appear on Dad's computer.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.Message Edited by Bennyd on 0-0-2006 06:6 AM

    NEWS!!!
    Actually, we have 3 Zen Nano Pluses. Two (the black and the red) have .0.03 firmware. I have never connected the black or the red to W's computer and have it connect properly. In fact, I had just tried (again) to connect the black, it failed, I re-booted. Then, I connected the blue, with the old firmware, and it CONNECTED. I could see it in WIndows explorer as dri've F:, which never happened with either the red or the black with .0.03 firmware.
    So, now what?

  • Zen Nano Plus 512MB Crash/Fre

    The Zen Nano Plus 52 MB loads correctly, ans all the menus work, EXCEPT, the Play Mode option. What I do is I am able to 'click' on the pPlay Mode option, and it will bring the menu up, but the instant I try to scroll left, right, click, or press any other button on the player, it shuts off instantly. I've used 5 diffrent batteries, 3 headphones, I've formatted the player twice, and have re-installed the drivers from the CD. I am unable to load the updates, as I have Win 98, and they're not supported on that OS. This is also the second one of these players that I've had during my warrenty period, which ends Sept 3, the first one being returned due to an unfixable 'popping' noise during mp3 playback. So, my questions to you, loyal moderators, are #. What do you suggest I do about this? Should I send it to the factory? Should I take it to a friends house and attempt to load the drivers on his Windows XP? #2. Should I trust Creative to get it's act together after having two defecti've players, and ship me a working one? #3. If the answer to #2 is 'no', can I get my money back?
    Thank you for reading, and hopefully fielding my question. I eagerly await a responce to help me with my plight.

    There is a firmware for the Nano, but you'll have to email Creative Tech Support for it.
    Get the firmware, and take it to your friend's Windows XP, as I'm not sure the firmware works on Win 98 (I think only 98SE at the earliest)
