Zen Neeon - a few iss

Hello,
I recieved a Zen Neeon 6 gb for Christams from the kids and I have a few questions that do not seem to be in the documentation.
. Is it possibel to select the opening screen. I want to open on the browse screen and it seems to always open on a particular song. I then have go back into the menu and go to browse.
2. When you go into browse and run down the folder the names start streaming off the screen as soon as that folder is selected. Is it possible to slow down the process a bit so you can see the name of the folder before it scrolls off.
3.

I did not finished
3. Is it possible to get the font on the screen a bit bigger. I fine reading it very difficult.
The little wheel thing on the side is not the best either.
My last comment is that the software only supports Windows which is a pain. Creative should be a bit broadminded and offer a Linux option/
Regards
Paul

Zen Neeon: Playlist h

i got my zen neeon a few mths ago when it was just released not long in the market. the player seems to have problems with the playlist i created. it keeps hanging the moment i selected the playlist to play. sometimes it even 'locks' the player (the screen displays the lock sign) that i have to press the reset button each time. i tried recreating playlist for several times but that does not help.
i got mp3 and wma files in the playlist. or is it that it cnt include or mix wma files inside?
pls help. thanks.

I had the problem too and had to reset the player (just reset, not relaoad firmware). Now it works fine - and I now delete any tracks I want to delete via MediaSource rather than on the player itself. I've had no problems doing it that way.

Zen Neeon freezing iss

I recieved a Creative Zen Neeon 6GB last friday, and it was working perfectly until yesterday.
Now, when I tried to turn it on yesterday, it simply went to the CREATIVE logo screen, and then got stuck there. I tried resetting it, but it continues, every time. I left it alone for a while, and now it shows a low battery logo when I try to turn it on. So, I tried to plug it in to my computer today to charge it, and it got stuck on the CREATIVE screen then too. I've tried everything available in the pinned message on this board, but I can't seem to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

If you can't get into rescue mode then the player sounds faulty.
There no point in contacting support three times, it just wastes resources as they'll have to close the duplicate requests or may even answer them unwittingly.
You need to wait for the autoresponse email from support, then reply to that, and allow some days for a response. Particularly over the Christmas period.

Zen neeon problem...pleas, he

i have my neenon about one month. so far it worked quite well until a few days ago. every time i plug it to the usb the computer seems to have a problem to identify the device and it gets stuck on this window (the window image is in hebrew):it seems to take to much time to act only on this process, and after it finally finished (about 0 minutes) it cannot open the neeon file and it says something about a problem with the input/output.i go to "zen neeon media explorer" and is says that the device is not even pluged in!?same problem with other comuters! so the problem is realy on the neeon. i already tried to press on play/off button and plug in the usb at the same time and then downloading?a firmware but it did not helped at all. can somebody pleas help me?

Should I just get a new one?

Zen Neeon 6GB (USB Probl

Hi,
I bought a zen neeon 6gb a few days ago. There were no problems at first but now.......
When I plug it into my laptop, it's as if nothing was plug in!
Same thing when I used the desktop in my office, I've changed another usb cable, I've pushed the reset button & nothing seems to work. Downloaded "Zen Neeon Firmware .0", also didn't work.
So what now? I'm still waiting for the support team to reply my email.

Does the player turn on, or doesn't it respond at all? Was the battery run down all the way?
Regarding your e-mail, did you use the form on the website, and did get an auto-response back? You should always get an automated e-mail back with some tips, if they don't help, check over the e-mail as you generally need to reply to that to let them know, so someone will deal with you directly.

Zen Neeon Trou

I've had my Zen Neeon (6GB) for about 2 months and have recently started having problems with it. When playing it has started taking a much longer time to change songs almost like it's freezing in between song changes and when this happens it takes a few goes before being able to turn it off. I originally thought it might have something to do with the battery, but it doesn't seem to be anything connected to it. Any help would be great. Thanks!Message Edited by steph0202 on 0-03-2007:09 PM

I am having the same problem with my Zen Neon (6GB). It starts up very slow and takes a long time to load different screens. It actually stopped playing songs now. Seems like it has trouble?loading the songs. The radio FM works though. Please advise someone how to fix it. I tried?resetting but?the same problem?continues. Please?advise. Thanks.

Zen neeon cras

I own this zen neeon as a present for a few months now, but it became often that when I read files from it on my computer, it freezes, then I have to replug it.
Repluging it won't make the file readable, it still crashes when reading the same file. Maybe it has some bad sectors?
I tried formatting it a few times, but it seems some kind of cache inside the player prevented the bad sectors to be detected?
Do you guys know how to fix it's (I already tried new firmware, and formatting)
or, do you know how to open up the zen neeon(google doesnt work for opening zen neeon), so I can can put a CF card in? :P
thanks

Got this from another site. Worked for me.
If your Zen won't startup the first thing to try is see if you can access the Maintenance Menu and run a disk clean up.
If this fails, or if you are getting the "hard dri've error" message on startup, listen closely to the Zen when it starts up. If you can hear the hard dri've repeatedly clicking at the end of the start up chances are the heads or related mechanics are jammed in some way. At your own risk you can try and free this by firstly powering the player down, then giving it a hard slap on the side. An alternati've and less drastic approach is to hold it in your outstretched arm with the screen towards you and twist your wrist back and forth as quickly as you can.
This might indicate a problem with the player, so you may want to seek getting your player replaced/repaired anyway, especially if this happens more than once. Also if this procedure doesn't help you will also have to look at getting the player repaired, or if out of warranty you can try repairing the hard disk yourself.

Zen Neeon 6GB, charging via AC Adapt

I have Zen Neeon 6GB player. When I connect my player to Creative's AC charging adapter there is no indiacation of charging. But when I connect it to my computer's usb port the battery icon flashes. Is it charging or not?

It appears that generic usb chargers do not work properly with the micro photo.
It has to do something with the micro photo's usb jack not being entirely compatible with them. The device isnt recieving enough power using these chargers.
I tried quite a few, none worked.
It seems that if the micro photo isnt pulsing, its not being charged properly.
When I connect it to my dvd player through usb, it does indeed pulse and charges at normal speed.
I'm afraid that the only way is to buy the original charger from creative...

Zen Neeon saiz "No Music"

#Zen Neeon saiz "No Music"E Hi everyone, my brother gave me a Zen Neeon 6gb mp3 player and im trying to load music onto it but I sure as hell cant get the music to show ....
I downloaded the instructions and it saiz go to My Computer, and you will see the Zen will show as a removable dri've, simply drag and drop music into it, sounds easy right? I copyed all my music across and when I turn the Zen on it saiz "No Music"
Ive tryed formatting, i've tryed moving music in and out of folders on the Zen, I also downloaded the Mediasorce 5 Organizer but do not see the Zen in the list on the right to select ......
I have a few mp3 players and I just drag and drop all my music into them and they work no problem ..... can someone please tell me what I may be doing wrong?
Thanx in advance

laura_stewart09,
You will need to have the music file selected and queue to the Now Playing list. To do so, acccess the Music Library. Now you can find the songs you want either by Artists, Albums, Genres, All Tracks, etc.

ZEN Neeon - Pre-Purchase Questi

OK, just a few questions about this particular model from Creative. I would appreciate any clear response to my questions where possible:
As a musician and regular columnist for the UK's most popular Music Tech mag:
Sound on Sound -these are just a few questions lots of our eager pro-musician readers are asking about:
ZEN Neeon Quesions
) The 'Line-In' recording feature on the ZEN Neeon has not really been fully addressed in its technical entirety on the products pages of Creative Labs web site.
So with this lack of information, I would like to ask about the quality of both the recording and encoding quality.
Could someone post a sample of a 'Line-In' recording from their Neeon?
2) If the Neeon allows PCM/WAV recording, then what is the "real" and actual true bit depth and sample rates offered. I presume the Neeon also encodes the 'Line-In' recordings to MP3 too. What bitrate/sample rates are offered?
3) Is the built-in microphone recorded using the same process as the old NOMAD models, using VOC compression? If so, why doesn't the microphone use the same method of recording as the 'Line-In'? FM radio recordings also apply to the above question.
4) When will they be available to buy in the UK?

Duplicate thread.

My zen neeon!! hel

hey guys..i need some help..this is bout my neeon zen..i have several of problkem and i dontknow how to find the answer.. ) when i try to connect the usb to my pc it stated to froze...it's just show the icon..that it.. and i cant even to charge or to tranfer the file... pleasee...how to solve it's btw..do i have to use the original usb to transfer the file?

I'm experiencing the same problems! My Zen Neeon worked for a grand total of 9 days...then it froze. Not being extremely gadget savvy, I thought if I let the battery run out it would automatically reset. DON'T DO THAT!!! My laptop will no longer recognize it and it will NOT charge. I have reset it (several times because I'm very angry and I refuse to give up) but it just makes a series of annoying beeps for an extended period of time then sits there on my desk defying and taunting me. A few times, after resetting it, I managed to get it to display the 'charging' icon...for about 5 minutes. Then it just started beeping again and stopped charging.
Anybody actually having a good experience with one of these things? Anyone know how I can get it to work again? I warn you - I'm pretty sure I've tried everything except chucking it against a wall.

My Zen Neeon freezes up!

when my father purchased my zen neeon at walmart he gave it to me a few weeks after on january st 2006.. i opened the box and plugged it in with the usb cable (software already installed from cousins zen neeon) then i put about 879 songs on it.. i listened to it for about 5 minutes then i decided to take some songs off and make some new playlists... well after i had done that i unhooked it from the cable and the "creative" sign came up when you turn it on and it just said that for like 5 minutes i couldn't turn it on or off, so i did some searching online and people said to press the reset button and maybe even reset and play button at the same time... nothing happened it is still frozen when i turn it on. i can't even turn the dang thing off unless i press reset. my dad is going to take it in and get a new one but until then are there any suggestions? i never dropped it or nothing as a matter of fact i had hardly touched it it was working fine for about 2 hours. i even let it charge hoping that would work..SIKE what a dumb idea nothing is workin.. if any suggestions or help i would really appreciate i.
thanks,

I am experiencing the same problem. When I plug my ipod into my laptop it freezes, music will keep playing but I cannot click on anything. When I unplug my ipod i can use itunes again. I have tried restarting, repairing, reinstalling,and disabling automatic syncing to my computer but no changes. It works fine on my old laptop. If anyone one knows anything please help.

Question(s) about Zen Neeon (specifically number of songs in a fold

I recently placed an order for the Zen Neeon because its small, its UMS (I don't like using software to upload my music to my player) and its cool looking. But, after ordering, I became more aware about the problems with the player.
The biggest gripe that people have is the lag between songs. I read that in the manual, it says not to have more than 50 songs in a folder.
So, here are a few questions:
) If I have say 2 songs in a folder (average length of an album), how long of a lag between tracks would I expect?
2) If I make a playlist of more than 50 songs that spans a couple of different folders, would I expect a large lag between songs?
I have a Muvo2 (currently broken with a non-functional headphone jack. I should send it in though for repair) and I loved the player. I hoped that the Zen Neeon would be a great replacement, but it looks like with these initial problems, it would only be a good replacement. I did not mind on the Muvo2 the long time for it to load up after I transfer tracks to it, but there was barely any lag when play songs.
Looks like the Zen Neeon is very similiar to the Muvo OS...so I'm wondering why there is a problem with the long gap playing between songs.

I'm not too sure with the Neeon, if it's over Gb then it may well be a microdri've like some of the MuVo? players.

Zen Neeon 6GB..... DEAD

Hope somebody can help out here, I'm at my wits end!
Got my new Zen Neeon 6GB one week ago. Installed all the software, hooked the player up to a USB port, charged it up, and had a few days of problem-free listening.
The battery was very low this morning so I hooked it up to a USB to recharge. Only this time my laptop will not recognise the device at all! It does not come up as an extra dri've on my "My Computer", and it is nowhere to be found on any device list.
To make things worse the battery is so low that the player will not switch on at all. So basically what it does is:
When connected to the laptop the word "Creative" appears on the display, but with no backlights, and no other button has any effect at all. The device is not read anywhere, and apart from the Creative logo could be considered dead as a dodo.
When not connected to the laptop, I push the on button, the Creative logo appears very briefly, followed by a very quick glimpse of the "battery needs recharging" symbol, then it cuts off completely. No other button has any effect.
I have reset the player a couple of times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the softwear, and still no joy. I am really cheesed off that this kinda thing is happeneing only a week after buying it, I had been told that Creative were reliable?
Anyway, any help would be very gratefully received.
Merry Christmas!

I have used Zen Neeon 6GB for the last 2 years untill a few months ago. I do not remember having any issues connecting to the computer. But I do know that when you connect, you don't need to turn it on via the on button. It the connection is auto detected and the player turns on on its own. Sometimes computers can't detect devices you might want to try disconnecting and connecting again (I know this may not be your case). You should get the charger to charge it via socket, it is much more efficient and less troublesome. You could also try connecting to other computers. You may also try posting this problem on PC Help forums to seek advice on device detection, they would likely be able to help.

Zen neeon recording and USB ca

. I want to record tapes onto my zen neeon but it keeps using up loads of battery so that Im only able to record a few tapes before my zen battery dies. i was wondering if i can plug my zen into its usb cable to charge it at the same time as recording? but on the screen when Im recording it says "no USB cable/ unplug USB" and there is the word USB with a line through it. does this mean that i shouldnt plug in the USB while Im recording?
2. Also I bought a travel adapter, not from creative, just a normal adapter that you plug into the wall, and then you plug the USB cable with the zen into this. but it doesnt seem to be working, it doesnt charge my zen. and everytime i plug this in, the zen turns on by itself, even if its been locked. can anyone help? i suppose i will have to buy a creative adapter...
cheers

. Even if you connect with USB (trough a pc) you can't do any action on your zen. It has been always like that, and it won't change.
2. Only creative products wil work properly with creative material.
See it as tuning a car. You bought a BMW but you can't change the frontbumper by one of audi... Get it's
