Zen nano quest

I got a zen nano for christmas, worked well till i got 28 songs on it. when i try to put songs on from windows explorer, ERROR-cannot create directory., and from creative, - an error has occured while transfering this file.
in my computer - it is called a removable dri've
NO songs work, even when i attempt to directly rip cds to the player
I have memory left, i wonder if formating it would work

Hi
You need to delete the songs in the root folder first. Then you can create some folders and put your music back into the folders. At a minimum you could have a Music folder with everything else in that folder.
There is more info about this problem in the FAQ (see link below) and here.

    Is it possible to create a folder for each artist and have those play individualy instead of having to shift through all my songs to get to a particular one. Thanks in advance.

    You can create folders on the player, and put the music in those folders. Using the interface on the player you can "skip" to a certain folder and play the songs contained in it, so you could make folders with the artists' names.
    As the player shows up as a removable disk, you can create folders the same way you would on your harddri've on your PC, just go to My Computer, then to the player, and the right-click > New > Folder.

  • ZEN NANO PLUS PLAYING QUEST

    I just bought the GB Zen Nano Plus and I love it. But today something weird happened, it was playing through my songs as normal the at the end of a certain song when it went to the next track, this next track did not automatically start playing as it should, i saw the solid square icon meaning stop on the player, and to play the track i had to repress the play button then it played through fine, so i erased the track before the track that would not play thinking i would just reload it when i got home, but that didn't fix the problem so i also erased the actual track that would not play until i repressed the play button, finally after erasing a few more tracks in the sequence, it stopped happening, it was weird because everyother track just plays through one after another like it should, my play mode is on normal, each album that i have tracks from on my player is in a separate folder. i am going to reload the problem songs and see what happens, just thought it was weird
    any thoughts?
    thank you

    My N200 plays all the way through until the end of the last folder. You must have a different Play Mode set.

  • Zen Nano 1G Line in quest

    Hi
    Just purchased a zen nano g great little device.
    I was wondering would it be possible to connect a external microphone (say a small lapel mic) to the line in jack to give better voice recodings.

    A microphone just by itself produces a very low power. Some devices have an amplifier built-in to them, hence you can connect a microphone directly.
    The Nano has a line-in, so that means it needs the microphone's input to be at line level. That is the output from the microphone needs to be amplified BEFORE going into the Nano.
    Ideally you want a microphone or pre-amp that can be adjusted, but recording results with the Nano are not fantastic based on reports here.

  • Zen Nano installation disk quest

    I already own a Zen Micro and have Creative Media Source installed on our computer. We just bought a Zen Nano (the re-labelled MuVo) and were wondering if these is any other software on the disk required to use the Nano. Since its recognized as a removable storage device upon plug-in, is there any other reason to install the software on the disk?
    My main concern is accidentally overwriting the Creative MediaSource software already on the computer and wiping out all of the imported tracks and playlists I have set up for my Zen Micro.
    Thanks, all.

    Ya no point in installing the CD from the nano player since you already have mediasource. Also, nano are like those muvo series that doesn't support playlist so it's kind of useless in mediasource too. Just use windows explorer with your nano.......

  • 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.

  • Zen Nano Plus questi

    How can I see how many songs are loaded on my Zen Nano Plus? When I click on the G folder or go into wither WMP or the Creative Software it shows the number of folders loaded on my player but how can it show me the number of tracks?
    also how come SOMETIMES when i hook my player up the the USB the computer doesn't recognize the device and i need to restart the computer for it to recognize the device?
    thank you

    Alternati'vely, you can view the info in settings -> information -> track count on the player, depending on the version on the firmware you have.

  • Problem with transfer and ordering of tracks on new Zen Nano P

    I recieved my Gb Zen Nano Plus player on wednesday and transferred quite a few tracks to the player that night. They transferred fine, I was able to customize the playing order and all the songs play fine.
    But since then, I have been unable to transfer tracks to the player or change the order of the tracks. The player is recognised when I plug it in, but I am just unable to do anything with the tracks!! I have plenty of memory left and it isn't anything to do with the USB.
    I really need to know what's going on and how to fix it :-(
    Help!!!

    What error message do you get when you try to transfer the extra files?
    Are all files in the root folder? If so see the FAQ.

    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???

  • I am having a problem with my Zen Nano P

    When I first got the player for my birthday it was great. I transferred a lot of music onto it and would take it to work out or just to listen to it. But like all people I got bored with the list so I deleted all the music and made another one. Well after three lists I can no longer sync it with my computer. I have tried everything. The USB ports are working, I can sync other devices up with my computer, but for some reason I can no longer transfer songs. Its not like other problems I have read about like man I can't transfer all the songs I want no I can't transfer any songs, and the player has been emptied.
    So lets recap, no songs on the player, have tried Mediasource and Windows Media Player, and still can not transfer any songs at all. And I think my warranty has run out so I can't get my money back or get a new player.
    Please help if someone can.

    You are welcome. I am happy that the redownloading of the firmware helped you and fixed your problem. It is the first thing I try whenever my players don't do what they are supposed to do. I use my Zen Nano Plus mainly for audiobooks. It is a great little player.

  • Start-Up problems in Zen Nano 51

    Greetings... I just bought?3 Zen?Nano players 2 months ago, everything was working perfectly but now I'm having problems with one of them, when I press the play button to power on my player, the screen shows the Creative logo but immediately it turns off, I've tried to format the player but when I connect it to the PC, the player indeed?appears as?a removeble dri've?in My PC but when I try to explore it, a message appears that says something about like: ...the device cannot be opened due to an I/O error... I'm using XP SP2, and I have tried to format the zen even in safe mode but no response at all, every time the player is detected but the system is unable to open it. I really hope that you can help me. Is there a way to reset physically this player?, I'm going to try updating the firmware but if the system isn?t able to access the device maybe this couldn?t be possible. I expect any comments about my problem, thanks again and have an excellent day. Regards.

  • How can I get my itunes library on my Zen Nano Pl

    I have a large selection of music in my itunes library and would like to get them into my Creative Zen Nano. I also have alot of music on my hard dri've and am having a hard time getting it to load. Help!? Sloan493

    Hi Sloan,
    What format is your music in? If the music is in MP3 format then it should be fairly straightforward, you can transfer them across to the player and they should work. Where do you run into issues, and what happens exactly?
    If the music is in AAC format it will not work, that format is not supported by the player. Provided the tracks aren't protected, you can convert them to MP3 first, and then transfer to the player.

  • 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 player does not p

    My Creative Zen Nano is getting power on, but it does not play the music. I have many music files and those files have been played for long time, but now they are not playing. When I checked the contents of the player using my PC, the folders are shown as .exe files. Could you please let me know how to correct the player, so that it could play the files. Thanks in advance.

    Not work SORT files : Genres--> Artists--> Albums. (SORT by ID3 tags ?)

  • 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.

    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
