Zen NX 'Play Any Track' number Limit

I have a Zen NX and when I choose 'Play Any Track' it plays track 'X' of 'Y' where for some reason 'Y' is less than the total number of tracks on my player?
All was fine until I reached 7477 tracks. After that ... whenever I added tracks they were on the player and I could listen to them, and the correct number of tracks appeared in 'Settings - About', but when I select 'Play Any Track' it never gets above 7477. I have tried adding all different tracks, and so it is nothing to do with the player ignoring duplicates or anything like that.
I have heard of other people experiencing a similar thing, but not the exact same number of tracks (but always in the 7xxx region), so it could be a file size limit to track info somewhere?
I have tried reformatting and relaoding all my MP3s and then it went up to 7476 but never any higher no matter how many more tracks were added.
I have all the latest firmware, etc. I do not have any playlists at all on my player, (just mp3 files only), so that info cannot be taking up any space/memory. I still have plent of physical space (/3) left on the hard disk.
I only really use my player to listen to my whole library on random, so it is extremely annoying, as I don't know which tracks are being missed off, whether it is always the same ones, etc.
Can anyone please help?

Unfortunatley I now find the playlist seems to be limited to 7999 tracks as displayed on my Zen?
However, In Notmad Exployer it shows all of my tracks in the playlist, over and above the 7999 limit's
I have also posted a reply to someone else with the same problem in a message 'Play Any Track / Selected Music / Playlist Track Limit - Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra '.
Someone must know what's going on here?

Play Any Track - on Nomad Zen X

I'm new here. Attempted a search on this subject and found nothing. Apologies if I missed something. I've got a 30GB Zen Xtra. I filled about two-thirds of the storage with tracks/albums taken directly from CDs. When I attempt to listen to all tracks using the "Play Any Track" feature, it'll randomly play back, but not all tracks/albums equally.
So, I cleared off the storage - I was tired of some of the stuff anyway - and started from scratch. I've got about 00 albums loaded now. A half dozen of these represent about 80 percent of what is played randomly - including every album from certain record labels (...to add to the mystery). A dozen albums have never played in 00+ hours of playback.
Somewhere, I remember reading about some limit on random playback - 4000 tracks or something. I haven't been anywhere near that. My average track length is something like 6 minutes. I've installed all the software updates through about six months ago. Same computer and software used for everything I've loaded. Thanks for any help. BTW, I have enjoyed this player quite a bit.

Try the things SSR mentioned to rule out any problems with the firmware/software. If you're still having problems after that, then it's likely it's a hardware fault. Contact Customer Support to see if they can help. If the player is out of warranty, they will be able to advise on the price of an out-of-warranty repair.

ITunes 7.1 will not let me play any tracks...

iTunes 7.1 will not let me play any tracks, it opens up fine and I can do pretty much anything else with it but when I double click or press play on a track an error message comes up and iTunes has to close. This has only been happening since I uploaded the new 7.1 version of iTunes, can anyone help me with this problem please?
I have sent an error report to microsoft but that doesn't seem to help me.

Can you play your tracks with Quicktime?
If not, you might try uninstalling quicktime and installing the stand alone version, which is option2 here:

Unable to play any tracks from AC/DC in Windows player (currently running 1.0.9.133)

When I play any track by AC/DC, Spotify comes to a screeching halt. No crash, no hang...just silence. The track progress indicator at the bottom of the screen never moves (like it can't start the track). Despite the play indicator showing that a song is playing, click on it several times to switch back & forth between play & pause changes but it never plays the track(s). If the song is part of a playlist with other artists, my only recourse is to skip the track--and assuming that it's another artist, the music resumes. Going to the AC/DC artist page produces no sounds from my speakers (just lots of mumbling & cursing from me). I am a premium subscriber so I tried playing an AC/DC track from the same playlist on my Android phone. Holy crap, it plays the song from the Android client! Jumping back over to my Windows player...no go :-( So it's not something I've done--at least not obviously...but it seems to remain a problem with ONLY the Windows player! The problem has existed for me ever since AC/DC (finally, yes!) has come on to Spotify & only occurs when playing any of their songs. If there is any additional information that I can provide, I'd be glad to do so. Thank you for the help! --L

I'm in the US. UPDATE: I figured out what the hell the problem was! When I got home last night, I tried playing AC/DC tracks on my laptop running the Spotify Linux client. It wouldn't play either, however, with the older build it was attempting to reference MP3 files that I used to have locally--it was trying to play files that weren't there! (Slight rant: pre-1.0 releases are better in visually representing which tracks are local & which ones are streamed.) Once I cleaned up the list of what Spotify thought I had locally though, the sweet sounds of AC/DC came out of my laptop :-) So now back on my Windows box, I had to go through a few technical gymnastics to get it to properly update the list of local files that are actually there, but much like the experience on my laptop, AC/DC trans now play properly! tl;dr: Spotify was confused & trying to play missing local MP3s instead of streaming from their servers. Forcing the client to reimport my local files solved the problem.

ITunes7 upgrade will not play any Tracks

upgraded smoothly to v7 today, all track content there and present, but when double-clicking any track or any preview track to listen to, the play head doesn't scroll and no audio can be heard!
Checked my "verify/repair disk permissions" on start-up volume, also chked "authorization" of purchased tracks, to no avail!
Thx for any feedback.

You could check if you have installed any plugin in the forder User>Library>itunes>itunes plug-ins>

Hey Kelsieee,
First, I would try to resolve the issue with the ! in a circle that you're seeing in iTunes. There's some steps in the following article that go over what that ! usually means and how to fix it:

"Play any track" quest

I selected this option and now it's like I can't select anything else! Exactly how many songs does the player program to play when you select this option? I have a Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra.

Have you tried running a disk cleanup? To access the maintenance menu hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the maintenance menu. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

Spotify plays wrong song (usually equivalent track number from subsequent album)

Description
Whenever I try to play a song, spotify will play the equivilant track number from the next album down, and to play the song I want to I have to play the equivilant track number from the preceeding album.
A more detailed description, using numbered steps
1. Tried to play the song I wanted to listen to (e.g. Bohemian Rhapsody on CD1 of the Queen Platinum collection) by double clicking or pressing enter button
2. Song on the next album plays instead (One Vison on CD1 of Live at Wembly Stadium)
3. To get original song to play I have to play the equivilant track number from the preceeding album (track 1 - Intro from Queen Rock Montreal)
What I expected to happen
I expected the song I wanted to play... to play
What actually happened
The song on the next album played (same track number, same CD number, next album down)
My Operating System
Windows 7
Is your Operating System 32 or 64 bit?

Did you do a clean install of your current Windows version or did you upgrade from a previous version?

Do you have any screenshots you can attach to more clearly explain your issue?
Not really

I have the same issue. Also, when playing songs from "Popular" it plays the equivalent track number on the first album.
This seems to occur on the first album I play when starting Spotify. Going to another album resolves the issue and going back it's working as intended again.
Are you storing info from last played artist/album on shutdown and restoring it upon startup? Somehow the index on track-collections of last played artist seems to be +1 on startup.

Zen Micro, WMA, Track number tag

Here is my problem : the track number tag of all my wma files contains 0(zero) on my Zen Micro, whereas it is fine on my PC !
I tried to use only the WM/TrackNumber tag... no succes !
I tried to use only the WM/Track tag... no success !
I tried to use both tags... no success !
Next, I modifed the track number tag directly using the Zen Micro Media Explorer. This works BUT if I transfer the wma file from my audio device to my PC and back from my PC to my Zen Micro then the track number tag contains 0 again !
Are you guys aware of this bug ?
Is the Creative tech support aware of it ?
Thank you in advance for any help.Message Edited by giom on 04-2-2005 2:40 AM

OK, just for you (and to satisfy my own curiousity), I ripped?two tracks using?the WMA 9. codec and Easy CD-DA Extractor?(with metadata enabled of course) at 64 kbit/s to the PC. I copied it using MediaSource 3.0.09 to my Zen Micro (.02.05). The track data including track number is still there.

Having problems organizing by Track Numb

So I want to play my songs in the order that they are on the CD. I tried ReOrganize! but that doesn't support the Zen Micro. I have firmware 2.20.05 (where it won't let me use Media Source anymore.) So I'm wondering if there is another piece of software that will allow me to play by track number. Does WMP 0 allow for organizing? Because it seemed very unuserfriendly.
If I look at the songs on my computer, they are organized by track number, but on my zen they aren't.
thanks,

Varanos,
You need to download and install the proper plugin as suggested by PeeBee. That plugin will allow MediaSource to detect the PlayForSure Zen Micro you have. Also, you need to update your copy of the Media Explorer to the correct version that support the player too. Both of the update can be downloaded from the download section.

Thanks Jason. Ill try both of those downloads out. And thanks PeeBee.

Lumia 620 - How to play random tracks?

Uploaded all my albums to my phone.
Cant see an option for the phone t randomly play any track within my whole music library. Is there one?
I can get it to randomly pick songs within a album but not from my whole library. When I go for run I like to leave my music on without messing with it every 10 minutes
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi bill1980,
Welcome to the forum!
Under Music+Video Hub go to Music and then swipe left until you reach the Songs tab. From there you should be able to see all of the songs that you have imported from your PC. Select Shuffle All or play one song then press the shuffle button just beside the album art.
Hope this works .

IPhoto Book not recived no tracking number

Dear Forum,
I ordered an iphoto book on the 22nd of August got the confirmation email and the shipment email on the 27th of August. I have not received yet my book or have any tracking number. I've contacted apple support and have given me no answers, sent several emails with no answer...
Where can I get my tracking number?

Hello Larry,
1- Yes I've Checked my order status, and it says: Shipped.
and shipping method: Standard (the only option they gave me), Tracking number: Service with no tracking number.
2- I've contacted twice apple support by mail, by the link you give me, and called them 3 times. On mail and with the link, i have not gotten any response yet, on the phone, they don't look for any solutions or give me any other options.
This was supposed to be a gift for a very important person, who was leaving, today to the USA, I'm in spain and because of everything in life, we are not going to see each other for at least a year now. So this error figures...

To cactus94: I'm probably going to cancel my order and move on to another printing service company, cheaper, same results, and better timing, for this order, and the many next ones to come. I would recommend you to do the same. Hope this issue is solved soon.

IPod won't play any songs...stuck on 0.00

Just recently (maybe after the latest iTunes "upgrade") my iPod now will not play any tracks. I have completely re-set it and redownloaded all my music to the iPod. All the functions of the iPod work fine (scroll wheel, folders, etc). But no matter what song is chosen, it's just frozen on 0.00 and doesn't play. It does play fine when connected to iTunes.
Somebody out there, please help!!!

I have an 80GB 5th Gen iPod with the same symptoms.
I had a talk with an Apple rep and they said this is not normal behavior (obviously) and they offered to have it repaired/replaced. We did some troubleshooting over the phone and narrowed it down to the hard disk. For me it seems like this happens when the iPod comes out of deep sleep. I press play and it shows Now Playing but does not forward the play head nor does the time elapsed change. And I don't hear anything either. Only way for it to play is to put it back to sleep (hold play) and then turn it on again. You can feel/hear the hard disk inside spin up. Then the iPod will play.
However this problem only happens intermittently. I was not able to reproduce the problem over the phone but the Rep said they would have a look at it anyway. So if you're debating whether to call tech support... don't. Give them a call. Good Luck.

Zen Nano and some directories not playing in track ord

Hi, I just bought a Zen Nano Plus and I've noticed that some album directories play in track order based on the track numbers found in the id3 tags while some directories play files in alphabetical order. All my directories on the Nano right now are for single full albums. I took a look at the files in two different directories and I can't see any difference in file naming or tagging that would cause this difference in playback order. They were even both ripped by the same ripper just weeks apart too which is odd.
I did look at the comments for the latest Muvo N200 firmware update and I noticed a blurb about directory play back not being consistent. Does the Zen Nano have the same problem as the Muvo N200? Is there a firmware forthcomming for this issue? Thanks.
Tom

The N200 plays the track in alpha-numeric order - I'm sure the Nano isn't very much (if at all) different from the N200
Like 0, 02, 03, a, b, c, ID3 tags don't affect anything except the song title comming up, as far as I'm aware.
