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 5 GB playlist prob

I have got Zen Neeon 5 GB. Mp3 player. I have created a playlist on Zen Neeon. There are 3 mp3 each one. It plays tracks but return to back from fourth track. It plays four tracks.
How can I solve this problem.

...perhaps try...
...creating a new folder called RECORD...
...on your player...
...all in capitals...
...it may have been accidentally deleted...

Can no longer access my menu on Zen Neeon

I have upgraded to the .009 firmware so now my zen neeon loads quicker and skips tracks quicker but now when I press the scroll button to access the menu nothing happens except it resets to the first track on my player.
I've tried resetting my player. I've created playlists which I can't access. I just can't get to my menu!!!!
Do I need to do a recovery mode rescue?

Thanks for the reply Edmeister. All the tabs take a moment attempting to load, then the Inbox Preview screen pops up. I have even uninstalled FF and reinstalled it. I've checked my settings even though I've made no changes in months. Again, the mail box has never had a problem until about 2 weeks ago. Fortunately, I can retrieve my mail through my old Eudora program and do the house keeping through IE8. Just wish I knew what has changed, i.e., my fault or a program.
Thanks again.

Zen Neeon Suggesti

I am very happy with my Zen Neeon and have no complaints as of yet.
Here are two suggestions I have thought of:
. I listen to electronic music among millions of other people. Often times they are recorded as sets, up to hour or so long. If there could be faster 'fastfoward' times, or perhaps some sort of skip by percentage or something to that effect it would help greatly. Many car cd/mp3 players have this feature available now. This way you dont have to listen to the first 20 minutes of every set, but never hear the finish.
2. Put the volume buttons in a different location or change the interface. Your hand generally cover the volume buttons when pushing in the scroll wheel, and if a volume button is pressed in the scroll wheel will not select.
Hopefully these suggestions are in the right place, I had a look around but could not find anywhere else to put them. Thanks.Message Edited by Phikticious on -4-2005 05:48 PM

I'm not quite happy with my neeon. My current firmware version is .009.
Here are the features that I think creative should have already included on it Neeon:
. Neeon should remember where it was when I turn it off. Let's me give you an example. Suppose you are listening to a 2 hours audio progrom (Audio Book, Blog, etc) and at some point, you have to stop listen to it and do something else, what should happen. For iPod (even the shuffle one), when you turn the player back again, it will continue where it left. For Neeon?, First you have to browse for the record first (If you play the program from the playlist) then you have to manually scroll through the record until it reach the point that you have left, via the scroll botton. And suppose you do one too more click and it go to the next record, you have to do this whole thing again.
2. It should remember the playlist. As I've already mention in the st features: When you play from a playlist, the Neeon will not remember that it 's play from the playlist. So, when you turn off your and turn it on later, it will just goto the first music/song/program on your neeon, not the first one on the playlist.
3. It should support audible just like other mp3 in the Zen series or even the low-end muvo.
I've already contact their technical support and here is a quote from them:
"As regards to your request, what we can assist you is to feedback the information to the relevant development department. As such it will be up to the development team to determine if this is within the product means. If this is possible then, perhaps they may be able to implement in the update."
The last sentence is great :: it says if we can and we want to, perhap we maybe do it.
I'm considering these lack features as a bug in design/implement. Maybe my expectation is too high as I'm a previous iPod user and such a stupid problem have never occur to me. Maybe yo wonder why I switch to zen Neeon. The reason is at that time, iPod Nano 4 GB is out of stock in Thailand, so I pick up this one (since the shop owner only tell it's good point, like sound quality is good, it have one GB more, etc).
I do really hope that the creative's "Development Team" is capable, willing, and do implement these features, in order to make the Neeon be what it should already be or put it the other way round, just to make it work, at least as best as, the entry level iPod Shuffle.
I know that Neeon have more features comparing to iPod (and it is what lure me) but as an mp3 player, I think it should focus most on mp3 features. All other features is just an add-on.
I believe creative do have a future, but it should know where to focus.

Zen Neeon - cracking band - skipping songs - highly disappointed in the quality of workmans

Has anyone had any problems with the "band" around the zen neeon cracking? It has not been dropped. It has been cared for like a newborn child and within -2 weeks it had a crack in it. Now, a couple of months later it has 3 cracks in it. My husband said the band was probably too tight to begin with and was cracking to relieve the pressure on itself. But of course I called warranty services and they say it is physical damage so it is my tough luck. This thing has been babied!!!! It is poor quality workmanship.All the kids in my daughter's class wanted one after they seen hers after Christmas. I specifically told her to tell them WE DO NOT RECCOMMEND THE ZEN NEEON!? I told her to show them what hers has done (the cracking) and suggest they might want to spend their money elsewhere. Now on top of all this, it has started going bonkers!? I created her some playlists, and they used to play fine. Now, it will play one or two, skip 3-4 of the songs, then go back to playing. It used to work fine. I told her we would delete them off, add them back on, and try that again. Has anyone else had this skipping song problem?HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM OF THE BAND CRACKING?I wish I would have spent my money on an Ipod.Message Edited by bulldogmama on 03-0-200602:0 PM

I have!? There's a big crack in mine, and yes I've dropped it, but not nearly as hard to have caused a crack (I catch it by the headphone cord before it hits the ground XD)? My brother saw it, and he's like, "What the heck did you do?"? and I told him "nothing!"?Mine's been going nuts as well!?It just gives me trouble!Now this time, I hope this isn't a permanent problem, but today, I was listening to my Zen Neeon. I shut it off, put it away, and then later on in the day, went to listen to it. Turned it on. The "Creative" screen comes up, and FREEZES there. The lights that normally flash when the player is turned on do not appear,? just the "Creative" logo, and it FREEZES there. I reset it, and turn it back on, and it just keeps doing the same thing. I'm VERY disappointed with it. Not to mention I'm going to have to take the heat from my parents because they bought it for me. I wouldn't reccomend it to -anyone- ever!

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,
casey schneider

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 questi

Hi. I've got some questions about the Zen Neeon. Hope existing users can help me.
) Does the Zen Neon appear as an external hard dri've? Is it possible to just transfer files directly to the player like a thumbdri've without any additional software?
2) Does the Zen Neon record files to wav or mp3 format?
3) How is the recording quality of the Zen Neon like? is it good enough to record in a lecture theatre?

yusuke,
. Yes the Zen Neeon function just like the other MuVo series using UMS(Mass storage) so you can just plug it in and use your Windows Explorer to transfer the files to the player. But if you wish to create playlist, then you will need to use the bundled software to do so.
2. It can record both in Wav(32kbps) and MP3(96kbps, 28kbps and 60kbps).
3. The player builtin microphone are cater more for personal close range recording. Gi'ven the big size of a lecture hall, the result might not be as good.

Zen Neeon disappointm

I had problems with my neeon player. Costumer support suggested the ff.
For instruction about your specific player, please refer to <A href="]How to access the recovery mode of my Creative MP3 Player? [/url]</LI>
Once in Recovery Mode, select Format (see the image below).</LI>
When asked to Continue select Yes </LI>
When Formating has completed and unit returns to Recovery Mode, repeat the Format process again</LI>
After the second Format, select Reboot option</LI>
Allow the unit to rebuild the library.</LI>
Then upgrade the Firmware</LI>
All I see is the Creative logo on the player. My player is still frozen.
Help, as customer support still hasn't got back to me.

The player was fine for the first few months. I got it in August. It keeps crashing when I'm uploading files. I always have to format the dri've to upload all my songs again. This can be very annoying. I've updated the firmware so I'm hoping that is the end of that problem.
At the moment the Zen Media Explorer is not displaying folder information when I go to the 'Organize Data in Zen Neeon' option. I don't seem to have the same problem when I access the player through Windows Explorer. This makes it impossible to edit my playlists as I can't see what is the folders.
The Neeons sell for about ?20 on ebay. This includes postage. Message Edited by paulhino on -6-2005 0:37 PM

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?

BSOD when I connect my ZEN Neeon to my

Hi,
As said in the subject title.. My computer goes to the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) each time I connect my Zen Neeon mp3 to it. This is the first time this has happened, just recently it started doing this, I've connected and disconnected the MP3 and the same thing happened 3 times in a row.
Is there anyway to fix this and ways to prevent it's
I took a photo of what comes up on my camera, so if I need to post it let me know. "fastfat.sys" is the technical error problem, that's what it says on the BSOD.

Hey,
Well somehow I've fixed the problem. I did some things?before I tried connecting the MP3 to my computer but whatever I did, it fixed it. I installed some Windows Updates and then connecting and disconnecting the MP3 quickly because apparently that does something - not sure though, so it could've easily just been updating my Windows Update.
I didn't even have to download that Microsoft hotfix - thanks for the link though
Cheers!

Zen Neeon direct record in WAV form

Hi everyone,
I'm looking at buying the Zen Neeon 2. I want to use the Direct Recording to record straight from, say a CD player into the Neeon. But I want to record in WAV format at 6 bit, 44.k (full CD quality). I've read through the manual and it's not clear.
Does anyone out there know that it will defintely reord direct in full quality WAV format?
Thanks, I'd appreciate any help.

... thanks.
I'll use it for rough mixes in my studio. I'm getting used to the idea of mixing it then naming it and tarnsfering it in wav format via usb.
Thanks again

Zen neeon prob

Hi, I've been using Creative Zen Neeon GB for about ,5 month, but I've been experiencing a problem since i bought it. My mp3 player doesn't work correctly. It's often (getting more often these days) turning off just after "Please wait" warning while I turn it on. After formatting HD, it starts working properly but for a while, then i have to reformat to listen. This makes me feel awful if i experience it away from computer. Not only formatting and recopying takes too much time, even it doesn't solve my problem permanently. I can't trust my mp3 on listening everytime i feel down...
What can I do to deal with this problem?
Thanks

Will-o-Wisp,
Have you tried contacting Customer Support yet, to see if they can assist you?

ZEN NEEON 6GB - SNR changed to 98

Recently, Creative had added a 6GB Zen Neeon to their Mp3-player segment. I noticed that the Signal-to-Noise Ratio of this new player has changed from 90 dB to 98 db! Is this a fault on the new specifications page, or was this intended? (so, the new Zeeon has a new sound chip in it or something?)
My questions to Creative:
Is the SNR of the Zen Neeon really 98 db?</LI>
Is the new 6GB Zen Neeon still laggy as the Neeon 5GB in menus, or less laggy?</LI>
Thank you for your reply!
Message Edited by mathijsv on -20-2005 2:44 PM

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.
