Zen Touch no longer uses fold

At some point after an update (not sure if it was firmware or an update to MediaSource as I have applied both in the last 2 months) my 20GB Zen Touch stopped storing music in logical artist/album folders. Instead it stores all music files in the root folder of the player.
I realise the player does not need folders to operate correctly, and that it organises the files by their ID3 tags, BUT...
It has a 20 Gigabyte storage capacity, and so if ALL the files go into a single root folder my poor PC struggles and hangs as it tries to list the files whenever I open up MediaSource. There are way too many files in a single folder for it to run smoothly.
It makes MediaSource almost unusable. Why has this been done, and how do I fix it's

Can you see any files on your Zen Touch using Windows Explorer? I have the latest driver installed on mine (with Windows XP), and all my music is still under "artist" folders under the "Media" folder. I don't use Mediasource. I always found it WAY too slow and clunky to use. I am using WMP now, which seems to work much better than MediaSource to synch music (and now creates playlists). As you know, WMP uses tags like the Zen itself, so you don't see or don't use folder structure. The only downside I've found to totally replacing MediaSource with WMIP is that I can't edit tags on the player itself without Mediasource. So, I just delete them, edit on PC and copy them back.

  • Creative Zen Touch no longer docking; problem has appeared out of the bl

    For the last couple of years, I've used my Creative Zen Touch without any issues. I managed to upgrade to the MTP firmware with no troubles whatsoever. When I tried to plug it in a few days ago and add a number of songs, the computer no longer recognised the player. The USB ports seem fine, and when I plug it in the player boots. It doesn't come up with the "docked" screen on the player, however, and in Windows a "trying to add new hardware wizard" window pops up that never used to pop up before. Whatever I try to do, it never works. I'm using Windows XP SP2 and like I said, I never used to have any issues before until this popped out completely unexpected. It just won't realise that the Zen Touch is a MTP player for some reason!

    The people on the forum who would respond are customers, like you, being rude to them probably won't encourage them to help.
    These two pages contain some useful tips, have you checked these yet?

  • Zen Touch No Longer Recognized By Windows Media Pla

    <SPAN>My Zen Touch stopping being recognized by Windows Media Player today.<SPAN> I still see the MTP connected icon in the task tray and I still it listed without a warning in Device Manager, but WMP doesn?t recognized that it is attached.<SPAN> I?ve tried different USB ports and a different USB cable.<SPAN> There are no errors in the application log.<SPAN> I reformatting my device and run the cleanup option, but I still can't WMP to see the device.<SPAN> The only changes I can think of is installing IE7 Beta 2 and installing MusicMatch.<SPAN> I?ve since uninstalled MusicMatch, but I still have the problem.<SPAN> Does anyone have any suggestions?<SPAN> Or there a way I can increase the logging so I can get a better idea of what might be failing.

    Hi Ted
    I deleted the file and reconnected my device and it quickly grew to 600kb. I'm not sure exactly what you need and there didn't seem to be anything interesting at the end of the log, but I did find the following lines which, from what I can, is from the point when WMP tried to establish a connection with the device and failed.

  • Zen Touch new mod

    I have a 3g ipod right now and like the way it feels. I do have some complaints:
    - No WMA support. I had to convert my WMA to Apple's AAC format. Now I have two copies of a lot of my songs.
    - Does not work with WMP0. I am not a fan of iTunes at all.
    Now, I am looking for a new player. Is the Zen Touch easy to use?
    Also, I don't want to buy it now if a new model is coming out soon. Does anyone know anything about a new model?

    Haardt,
    I checked out your review on the Zen Touch. Very informati've evaluation. In fact, this was one of the reviews I used when considering purchasing one. Under "Weaknesses" you mention that the battery can only be changed by Creative. Actually, the battery can easily be replaced by the user. Of course, doing so will void the warranty. However, this isn't a problem since your battery will die long after the warranty expires anyway. Lithium-Ion battery life should be far less a worry than battery capacity. I used to own a Rio Riot which had an internal Lithium-Ion battery. I owned it for about 2 /2 years and charged it to some degree almost every day. I thought the battery was dead because I was having charging problems. After buying a new battery, I discovered it wasn't the battery at all. It was the charging terminal that had come lose from the circuit board. The bottom line is these batteries will last a long, long time. By the time they die, there will likely be a newer model player you'll want to upgrade to.

  • My Zen Touch has suddenly stopped worki

    Hello, newbie alert in progress!
    My 20Gb Zen Touch was working fine this morning till I tried reinstalling the drivers that I got from http://www.jumpingcholla.com/jce_nomad_ZEN.htm (I had to do it this way after I lost my original CD ) after I had to reinstall the system recently. I plugged the device back in afterwards but XP seemed to be unsuccessful in detecting it properly.
    And now it seems that the thing simply won't turn on, even when disconnected from the computer and with the lock disabled! The light on the power switch remains lit, but holding it down does nothing and I'm not getting anything on the screen. It's as if I'm being permanently locked out of my own player for some reason or other! (And yes, it's fully charged, I charged it up only last night!)
    If you need me to post my serial number on here, let me know. But I'm using Windows XP SP2, AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 52Mb RAM, Creative Zen Touch 20Gb, still using the original firmware that came with my unit (seeing as I found no real problems with the device so far), and I tried upgrading the drivers to .30.03 but that didn't make much of a difference.
    While I'm here, do you know if there's any way I can apply for a replacement copy of the install CD seeing as it appears to have disappeared with little chance of finding it again?
    Thank you!

    Well, resetting the device worked in the end! Whew, thanks for allowing me to not worry lots anymore!
    Thing about the install CD though...... I assumed the downloadable .30.03 drivers alone would be all you need post-reinstall, but they didn't seem to help detect the device afterwards, therefore I think they're upgrade-only ones.
    Unless of course I'm not looking hard enough and base drivers are available too from this site? Is it like in one of the software packages or something?

  • Zen Touch & Stor

    Hey.
    Apologies in advance as I know this has been discussed, no doubt many times previously.
    However, I was just wondering if there is any news/update on when and if there will be a firmware upgrade to allow the Zen Touch to be used as a true mobile storage device by allowing "Dri've Letter" assignment on third party computers.
    Thanks
    SGX Saint

    I would like to know if its possible with firmware to allow for the possibility to arrange things in a tree directory arrangement.
    Before you people complain about these topics being discussed to eath, perhaps there should be a sticky thread on what should be fixed with respect to the Zen Touch. We would benefit from it and so would Zen's research and development department.
    I would also like to know once and for all, is the mass storage device and the tree directory arrangement things that could be fixed through firmware updates?

  • Using Zen Touch as external hardd

    Hi there,
    I just wanna know, if it is possible to use the zen touch mp3 player as an external harddisc. I wanna connect it to the computer and then just drag and drop songs on the dri've. Normally it is not possible, but I heard about a firmware update that can make it possible. Now, is it true or not?
    Thank you!

    If you are asking this because you are considering on buying it then look else where, it totally sucks as an external hard dri've. You have to install the drivers everywhere you plan to use the player and also install the nomad explorer to be able to transfer data to it. On tops of that the nomad explorer is not bug free, including one bug which erases the file extension if the file name has more than one '.' in it. If you have a file called maria.full.of.grace.avi and one called maria.full.of.grace.mp3 both will be copied as maria.full.of.grace in the player. This is a problem when you have multiple file in a folder with relati've the same name and try to copy that folder.
    A firmware with MTP support was promise to be release before you died, but when exactly before you do no one does and wouldn't base buying the player on this promise. MTP would allow you to transfer mp3's a files to your Zen Touch without having to install drivers for it, but still you will need to have Windows Media Player 0 or above to enable MTP on your computer, so if you go to someone's computer and it doesn't have wmp0 you will need to install it, requirring WMP0 also means that it won't work on win2000 since wmp0 is not supported in win2000.Message Edited by lsd_us3r on 07-0-2005 09:24 PM

  • Use zen touch as portable data stor

    Hi all
    Can I use zen touch as a portable data storage?
    I use shared computers in school and installing Zen Media
    Explorer is not possible.
    Is it possible to reslove this problem by fireware update or it is related to hardware capabalities of zen touch?
    thanks

    Data storage is a must have, I mean thats like include driverless support for the iPod Mini, but not including them on the iPod 20GB?
    I understand that if they do include it the Zen Micro won't sell, but then Creative should have adjusted the pricing on the Micro.
    I love the Zen Touch, but I must saying now that I understand that data transfer's are nearly impossible (Other computer must have same drivers) it's kind of a negati've point.
    I think Creative needs to keep the Zen Touch (20GB) at about $225 and if they were to drop the micro to $75 in the future then they would still sell.
    2GB of storage for the micro, please. When a player has a potential of 20Gb or 40Gb thats when you need storage options.
    Creative you did a great job on the Zen Touch, and you need to add on to it, not the micro.
    Keep the focus on the stylish, feature loaded, high storage players and the company will go a long way.
    This is troubling that this is not even being considered to be included, I hope Creative Labs thinks through this...

  • Zen Touch Drivers, Use CD not Web? But w

    I had my 40GB Zen touch installed and running nicely on my system running XP service pack 2 using the drivers from the web. I also own a Nomad Jukebox 3 and firgured that since the driver file is the same for both devices (at least on the website it seems that way) that I could just connect the JB3 and it would work. Well it was recognized but, I received errors transfering files using Explorer, and it was not working properly. So I uninstalled the Creative Jukebox Drivers, and re-installed them. I then connected the JB3 and it worked flawlessly. BUT NOW the Zen Touch is not installing properly. I was only able to install both previosly when I used the touch driver cd on another machine, as well as the driver available for download for the JB3.
    Why would Creative not have the same driver for download for the Zen Touch on the website as they include on the cd? Is anyone else having similiar issues? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

    Hey SSR. Basically using this driver, I can only install one device and have it work properly. I first had installed this driver and used it with the touch alone, and no problems. But when I connected the NBJ, it was running extremely slow (I am aware it is ussb .), I mean much slower than normal, and I wasn't able to transfer files with explorer. I received an error message to the liking of, "this file is unacessable". So like I said, I uninstalled the driver. Re-installed, connecting the NBJ first. and it worked no problem. But connecting the touch again it wasn't recognized. So I am left to belei've that with this driver, I am unable to have both devices work and installed properly on the same system. Others must be have had a similiar issue with this driver. Not too long ago I tried installing with the same driver on another systems and was not succesfull. I tried everything, using a different port, differnt cable, uninstalling, re-installing. The only thing that seemed to work was the cd driver. I am sticking with that, but I feel this needs to be addressed.

  • Can i use my Creative Zen Touch with my Xbox 360

    Hello, wondering if you can help me out with the question above, and if you know how to make it work. If you could help me i'd be grateful.

    You can use the Zen Touch with the Xbox 360, but you would have to update the firmware on the player to an MTP (2.x) firmware. This will slightly change the way the player works on the PC. For more information on MTP, check this knowledgebase article.

    Okay, usb_modeswitch works fine.  There is one odd quirk though...  Arch is set up so that it loads XBMC by default (I'm using this as a media PC).  On my old wifi adapter, which does not need modeswitch, the weather and news on XBMC update immediatly when it is started.  With this wifi adapter they do not update at all.  I can tolerate this though, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this I'd appreciate it.  Thanks!

  • Zen Touch use without admin rig

    hey everyone,
    I'm a proud owner of a zen touch 20GB and have been very satified with it. I'm a high school student and have been lucky enough to li've in a place where the school provides each student with a high end dell laptop. For the year before I got my zen, I managed about 000 or so songs with WMP on my laptop. I don't have admin priviledges as it is a school computer, but I can take it home and whatever so it's as good as mine. When I got my zen I couldn't install the drivers and/or programs for transfer so I had to send all my files over to the home computer via the wireless network, quite a pain.
    MY QUESTIONS IS: does anyone know of a way to install Nomad Explorer and/or the drivers for the Zen or somehow get the Zen to work with the school computers? They all have XP Pro SP and WMP0.
    Any response would be appreciated seeings as it takes about a half hour to get songs onto it now and having it work with my laptop would be much easier. I'm an avid computer user and can program my way to it if I need to but there has to be an easier way
    THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, so far that's what I've been doing, or when I'm at a place with no network, use my 52mb flash dri've or burn files to cds and move them, it just seems to be quite a hassle. Thanks for the advice Cat, you have a good point, but if there any word on when the new firmware for the Zen Touch that enables driverless integration with WinXP and WMP0 will be out? I can't wait, that should let it work on my laptop, I'll search the net for apps for transfer with Linux. Thanks! I really love my zen and use it every day, props to Creative for making the best mp3 player on the market, I couldn't li've without it, no problems so far!

  • Zen touch, using on a restricted c

    Ok, heres the deal, I want to use my Zen Touch as a jump dri've, it can carry a good deal more than any jump dri've i have. The only problem is, i want to use it on a restricted account, therefore, it says i need to install hardware and yells at me. So I'm wondering if theres anything i can do to setup my dri've so when its first attached it functions as a data storage device instead of preparing to try and load music.
    any help appreciated...

    The Touch doesn't have a removable disk mode like the Micro does, so will never show up as a dri've letter for data.
    However, MTP support is coming soon, so if your PC has WinXP and WMP0 you should be able to still use it with a restricted account.
