Zen V Plus - Album Art Dimensi

Does anybody know the size (i.e width and height in pixels) at which album art is displayed (the large version) on a Zen V Plus? I know it'll scale as appropriate, but if you could match the size exactly it'd give a better quality image with no scaling. It looks a bit less than full screen, so I'm guessing maybe something like 00 x 00?Thanks?Stompa?

I haven't yet figured out how to add my own artwork, like you can with iTunes.
I will assume this part has not changed from WMP to WMP2. Find picture you would like to use right -click on the pic choose copy go to the "cover" for the album you want to use the picture on right-click & choose "Paste Albumart" & it should use the new picture as the albumart cover.

Zen V Plus - Album

HeyI've already searched for posts with the same problem and read mostly all of them but unfortunately I couldnt find a resolutionSo I decided to open a new thread and hope to find some help here from you guys... So.. I got this creative zen v plus 4gb for some days now and my problem is that the album arts are just mixed up...Well, not clearly mixed up; if a track has got an album art, it works properly, but a lot of them ones without just show up with an (!) album art from another artist...and there really is no smilarity to the song/album names or stuff...and I also didn't put everything in one folder, i got like 5-30 tracks in each folder and 90 % of the folders are organized by artist, in addition to that i actually wouldnt mind a song having got a wrong album art but at least from the same/right artist then... unfortunately that still is not the case...And when I check the ID3-Tags of those songs with wrong album arts, it doesn't show up any album art, so they are not included in the ID3-TagAll in all : Song without Album Art -> gets any album art when i listen to music in the Zen V Plus (-> But Album art is not to find the ID3-Tag)I hope you understood my problem properly I'd really appreciate your help...thank you!

I had a similar problem once. Try searching for info on the "clean up" recovery mode.

Zen Vision: M Album Art prob

Hi all...
I recently did a fresh install of Windows MCE and had to reinstall all my Creative stuff. I used the CD-Rom to reinstall (still mad about the MP3 conversion removal from the new version of mediasource). Since reinstalling everything, I cannot drag jpg's into the Zen Media Explorer to put on the Album Art.
It worked before I reinstalled. Now when I drag a picture onto the "musical note" icon, the hard dri've on the Zen Vision has activity (the docked icon spins) but the picture doesn't appear.
The album art I added before is all still there, but I can't change or replace it. Every time I drag, the hard dri've spins and everything, but the picture just doesn't show up.
I haven't installed Windows Media Player either.
Any ideas?

I have found precisely the same problem.Re-installed windows last week, and ever since I have been unable to transfer album art. I used to do this by naming album art jpeg as "folder" and dragging album folder directly into Vision:M media explorer. I have also tried to dragging art onto the album art placeholder on "album" view - as described in creative knowledge base solution 879 - and this does not work. The only way I have found to transfer the album art is by syncing through media player . I should point out that I was using media player 0 before my re-install - but surely this cannot be the reason can it's The album art which I had transferred previously to my player is still fine. Is there any solution to this It's only a small problem, but it's really starting to bug me Thanks

ZEN Vision M: Album art stuck. Can't chan

I've come across a strange problem and was hoping someone could help. Any help is much appreciated.
Before we start, Album Art = AA
Ok, I have 2 albums named 'Greatest Hits', one by Sublime and one by The Offspring. I was adding AA using MediaMonkey and when I added the Sublime AA I hit 'Apply on all tracks on Album'. MediaMonkey accidentally added it to The Offspring's album as well since it has the same exact album name. So at this point The Offspring's album is showing the wrong AA, Sublime's cover.
I didn't notice this until I already synced over to my Zen Vision M and it caught my eye. No big deal, right? Just replace and resync... easy. Well now no matter what I try it still has the wrong AA showing on my ZVM. I changed the AA with MediaMonkey and it correctly shows The Offspring's version but it still shows the Sublime version on my ZVM. I've checked with multiple programs and there's no Sublime AA in sight as it should be so it really appears to be a problem with my ZEN.
I've tried renaming the whole album name and it finally gets rid of the Sublime AA in favor of the correct The Offspring AA but this does not help me since it's the wrong album name.
Any ideas?
Thanks - Kevin

Dang. I just did it again with 3 and AC/DC's "Li've" albums. Any ideas?

Zen Vision : M - Album Art not displaying and other probl

Hi,
I bought a Zen Vision : M from Hong Kong last week and of course the first thing I did when I got home was install all the software that came with it and started uploading songs.
The player is great and I love it but there are just two annoying little things.
Two problems I encountered.
. I uploaded the album art using the Media Explorer by clicking and draging the JPEG into the explorer as instructed, sometimes the album art shows on the player and for some albums, it just won't show on the player, however it shows correctly on the explorer. Has anybody else experienced the same thing?
Is there going to be a new firmware to fix that?
2. Sometimes after closing all the Creative applications and explorers, it still does not release the player. It still saids that it is docked. I have to either shut down the computer or manually pull the USB cable out which is something I don't want to do if it is still transferring information between the player and the PC... In the next firmware, there should be an option to undock the player.
Also the website claims to have all these accesories such as the docking station and leather case for the player but I cannot find any online store that has it!?! I have searched the Europe online stores and Asia online shops yet I cannot find it. Where would I be able to find it's As I am always afraid that the connector that comes with the player will break as it feels quite fragile.

The undocking issue are you sure the arrows are still moving. I made that mistake when I first got the vision M. I thought it was still updating.
The arrows stay still when you can remove the Vision M and kinda rotate, actually move when you are tranferring songs.
Looks similar.
As for the album art ill try that today and get back to you.

Zen 8GB No Album Art Being Displayed. Please He

I'm pretty good with a PC so don't be afraid to give me complicated addvice to fix this. Also, I am sorry but I refuse to use Media Monkey or Zen Organizer nothing is right in it for some reason, all my art is messed and it is just really complicated and I enjoy WMP. I didn notice that with MM and Zen Organzier it will display album art (half the time it is wrong or not there though...). Any hel[p is greatly appriciarted, thank you.

ZEN 16 GB Album Art Question/Problem

I've noticed that any albums with the same name will get assigned the same album art...
I have several albums that are "Greatest Hits" from several different artists, all albums get whatever album art was pasted last...
I know I could fix this by change the Album name to "Greatest Hits - <Artist Name>", but I should have to, shouldn't the ZEN know that these are different albums?

I have had the same problem with my new Zen 6gb player.
If you name the albums like this-
Greatest Hits
Greatest Hits2
Greatest Hits3? etc:-
the Zen treats them as different albums and displays artwork correctly.
Same applies to albums called Best Of, Very Best Of,Ultimate Collection etc:-
Hope you get the idea.
It's a pain remembering to edit file tags before loading on the Zen but I haven't found
any other way around this problem to date.

Suggestion: ZEN Micro Photo: Album art when playing tra

I was kinda hoping that you could display album art whilst playing tracks on the ZEN Photo. If you can, I can't figure it out, nor is it mentioned in the brief manual.
Please consider this as a suggestion to include the feature in the next firmware update. I also think it would be cool to be able to display a slide show durring audio playback. You could create presentations for the road or simply display slides in MTV fashion that go along with the tunes.
What do ya think?

* I've seen some comments on the screen being dim (or not as bright as expected). Can anybody confirm or debunk?
I set the screen contrast to 80 percent. In normal office lighting, pictures appear crisp and bright enough. In total darkness, looking at the screen won't hurt my eyes either. OLED rocks!
* I've read reports about no music while viewing pictures. True or False?
Unfortunately this is true.
* Anybody using SUBSCRIPTION music on their Micro Photo If you are, can you see album art while a track is playing (like the Apple nano)?
Unfortunately again, album art is not displayed.
Overall I'm very happy with Zen Micro Photo. The only complain is that the radio is mediocre at best.

Album art dimensions?

What are the ideal dimensions of iTunes album art?
After hours of searching, I'm still convinced someone in the world must know the ideal dimensions of album art is. After all, someone designed the app.
I'm sure when I first began publishing a video podcast, I spent hours of trail and error getting artwork the proper WxH dimensions, as well as the ideal size. I resolved it was 640x480. But with a newer version of iTunes, all the album art I created is smaller than all the other album art in my collection.
What I really want to know:
1. What are the ideal WxH dimensions?
2. What is the ideal size?
3. Does iTunes resize album art when added?
4. Does iTunes scale the display of album art? (It seems it does.)
5. Why won't Apple share this info to preserve the sanity of podcast publishers, at least?
6. How many man-years were wasted by people trying to figure it out?
(My searches suggest decades.)

I did find this at http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcastingfaq.html
+Why do I need cover art?+
+Attractive and interesting cover art attracts new subscribers to your podcast. Podcasts must have good cover art to be featured on the Podcast main page or the Store main page. Most good podcast images include an image as well as a title, brand, or source name. A 300x300-pixel JPG is the recommended size and format. Using this relatively large format, the iTunes Store automatically generates the various smaller images you see in the podcast directory. Before you settle on the art for your podcast, you may want to review the Top Podcasts page and note the various elements that contribute to compelling art.+
Hope this helps.

Creative Zen 16GB Album art Probl

When I had finished my uploading my MP3 it started to say : Updating Player Please wait. It was a slow and in the end where it reached 50% I took it out. Seemed fine. But some album songs have been placed with album art which does not belong to them. Any way of fixing this other than removing all the songs and starting again? Or is this a firmware problem?

apparently the new zen only reads album art with resolutions less than 200 x 200 (read this on this forum and is correct with my player (new creative zen 8gb). i have the same issue but followed someone elses advice (also off here) to use free software 'album cover art downloader' and use it to write the art to the tracks (and in settings make it less than 200 x 200).
Used zen media explorer to trf to my player and have full album art. hope this hel
ps.

Album art and long songtitle (zen v pl

The zen v plus will put the album art on the left side of the screen. This causes an issue when the songtitle is too long: the songtitle will now scroll. Can I change the way album art is shown? I would find it nice if the songtitle was above the album art, and the artis + albumname under it (this could solve the scrolling songtitle issue). Canthis be changed in de settings?

Hi,
Yap... I'll pass this to them for their reconsideration.
Thanks for the suggestion!

How Do I put Album Art into my music files for Zen V Pl

I have a Zen V Plus and don't know how to put album art on songs that are already on the player...
Please Help MeMessage Edited by kmn755 on 2-03-200706:47 PM

You have to append the artwork to the actual music files themselves. What I do is search Amazon.com for the album that the songs are off of, click the artwork so it expands and then right click the larger artwork and COPY.
Then in iTunes go into "get info" on the song, and paste the artwork in the artwork tab. This will append it to the file. Yeah yeah i know it isn't technically legal to "copy" the artwork but I honestly don't give a rat's a$$ about doing it and neither should you.
(...cue finger-waving "shame on you, you're breaking the law" post...)
Then once you transfer this song you put the artwork on to your nano, it should show up there when you play the song. At least this works for me on my 30GB iPod video.

New Zen V Plus and album a

Does anyone know, whether or not Creatve's new Zen V Plus player displays the album art while playing a song? If not then Creative can keep it as far as I'm concerned.

I don't quite understand Creative's strategy in releasing a gig Zen V, and especially a gig Zen V plus. If it was up to me I would have the Zen V and V plus available in 2, 4, or 6 gigs. The one gig capacity is covered by Nano Plus. Perhaps a more interesting idea would have been to release a 2 gig Nano Plus, and release the V and V Plus in 4 gigs, 6 gigs and 8 gigs capacities. Will Creative soon release a flash memory based mp3 player with at least 2 gigs of storage that uses a AAA battery?
They're supposed to be slimming down their MP3 player product line I think, so I wouldn't expect them to release yet another player. I definitely don't like your idea, some people want a V or V Plus in a lower capacity than 4 GB, if they didn't have lower capacities people might turn to other companies with a similar player in lower capacity (and thus, a lower price).Message Edited by HHS on 06-25-2006 :0 AM

Creative ZEN Style M300/100: album art & clip?

Hello,
All the info about ZS M sound very interesting, but there are 2 questions:
- if there is album art in the file, will be displayed on screen while playing?
- is it a way to use this player with clip?
All best,
Ivo

Hi,
Most music (classical) is from ripped CD's, some albums from eMusic. If needed I use Mp3tag.
The problem is that the pics seem to show up or not at random. It's not a big deal really, just odd.
I don't have this problem with my Zen X-Fi 2. Only problem there is pics for .flac files.

Zen Vision M problem, album art is not showing

I am embedding the album art into the ID3v2 tags, as i assumed that it would show up when browsing my albums. But the art is not showing up and i have no idea why.
I had another problem which seems that my Zen is reading ID3v tags, a lot of my music was not being recognised, even with v2 tags, and was only recognised when i filled in the v tags also. Does anyone have suggestions as to whats going on here? It is a Zen Vision M 30gb, with the latest firmware, and i use Tag & Rename to edit tags and add the art, Im also on Vista if that changes anything.
Thanks in advance.Message Edited by Ninjabachelor on 0-28-20070:20 PM

Hi Boxy !
For now, you can't zoom in the Album Art, but it can be a new feature on a future firmware. To hack it somehow, you have to mess around the system folder which is inaccessible...
