Zen V Plus Help, Keeps Scanning Through Music.

I just a Zen V Plus today and I loaded some music onto it right away. The moment I tried to play the music, it scans through the list and then stops, without playing anything. For example: I tried to play track 3 on one of the cd playlists and it scanned through the rest of the CD and got back to track one, where it stopped and wouldn't play anything. I've tried using different playlists, but it still does the same thing, scans to number , then sto

What can I do to fix this problem?

You don't need the Creative software to transfer music.
You do need Windows XP (SP2) & Windows Media Player 0 or .
You can get manuals from the 'Support->Product Documentation' link in the page banner above. The link includes the longer manual that comes on the disc. It's probably worth downloading them & having a read.
does not normally appear as a removable disk. If it does, the 'Removable Disk' feature is enabled. That means you can add data to a section of the Zen VP memory just like a USB disk. But any music you put there will not be seen by the player in its music library. And it uses space up that you could otherwise use for music.
The manual explains how to enable and disable the removable disk feature.
With XP SP2 & WMP 0 or , you can drag & drop content using Windows Explorer and the Zen VP icon in 'My Computer'. Make sure you put it in the right directories (the director names will help you).Message Edited by daytona955 on 07-05-200707:4 AM

Zen V Plus Help Ple

I've had a stone for a while and decided to upgrade to the Zen V plus after finding a good deal on amazon, Anyway for the first week or so it worked perfectley (although it wouldn't play via the USB on my car stereo like the stone did) the other day it decides to freeze up and now is displaying "Firmware problem" I tried downloading the restore programme off of the support section of the site but its now saying its not connecting to the pc (pc says its not connected and mp3 screen just shows the error message instead of saying docked) so the restore programme only displays "mp3 player not connected" Help please

First, charge your player overnight to make sure it has a full charge. Remove?ALL Creative software from your computer?and roll back the Windows Media Player to 0. Then re-add your software and plug in your player. That is the easy way to get your player to work. Hope this method hel

If it doesn't, then I suggest you do a search at the top of page and see all the different things people have done to get their players to work. If that doesn't help, contact support by e-mail.

Way to help keep my newer music handy?

Hey everyone. My library has gotten pretty large, and that makes it more and more difficult to keep things handy. When I used to buy CDs, it was easy to just keep the new ones with me. But now I buy most of my music on itunes and new purchases can easily slip through the cracks.
What I'm interested in is a way to manage my new music so I can easily browse my new material and find my newer albums. I have tried a smart playlist, with the criteria being music added within the last 6 months from the itunes store... but it seems as though I can't get it to sort the albums, and it just ends up being one long playlist with no way to pick an album from within this list. Any suggestions? Thanks

You can sort a playlist the same as your library. Not exactly sure how it works in version 8 (I'm still on version 7), but when you select the playlist, click the tab to sort by artist, then change the view from list to album view. In 7, you have a little View tab in the upper right of the window. It toggles from list to album view to cover flow. Perhaps it's still the same in 8. (But it's definitely possible...I'm sure this wasn't eliminated in verison 8.)

MediaSource 5 for Zen V Plus help on time scal

Help!!! I love the MediaSource and I have left to discover its wonderous powers. Im not sure what I did but the Time Scaling doesnt work anymore. I checked the Help and it advised to keep under the Playback tab on the Settings, to keep Digital playback ticked. I havent touched the settings at all, and its as if the time scaling just turned itself off. Can someone help me out Also , are there any other tricks that I can use on MediaSource :mansurprised:

This happened to me. I think it's merely a case of the device freezing - that's why it appears to be in USB mode. The Zen will need resetting, using the small indented reset button under the power-on switch. Then, hopefully, the computer will recognise it again. If it doesn't, try rebooting the computer. Then try Control Panel --> System --> Hardware --> Device Manager --> Windows Portable Devices. The player should be listed there. Try disabling it (not uninstalling) and then enabling it again. Hope this helps

Creative ZEN V Plus HELP with light

Zen V Plus 4gb keeps freezing during song trans

Brand new out of the box, during song transfer it freezes, I can get about 50-80 tracks then it freezes. updated firmware, tried different size playlist, nothing seems to help. Warrantiy repair? Also to note before firmware upgrade I had it freeze while moving FM preset to another location.

I have this same problem.

ZEN V PLUS - 4 gig - Only Holds 250 songs - Locks

I am able to transfer photos, songs, and videos. I can listen or view them with no
problem. The problem is the # of songs that I could get on the player is not right!
I have the Zen V Plus, 4 gig. I try to transfer songs to the player but it the
transfer progress always stops when there are about 250 songs transfered to the
player. The 250 songs are about 800 mb in size so that should bot be an issue since
the player is 4 gigs.
I have tried to drag and drop, add media, and use the "Fill Up Player" with the same
results.
Around the 250th song, the progress bar % stops moving. I press cancel and nothing
happens. I let the computer take it's time and 40 minutes went by... the bar is still
there with no new %. The problem is the player is still docked.
Since the player is docked and is still in "Transfer Mode" I have to unplug it, go
into recovery mode and "Clean Up".
When the player reboots the Re-Building Library is show with a progress bar. This
stays up and looks like the player is frozen.
I now have to reformat. All of my stuff is gone from the player.
I try to add songs and again... around 250 the progress bar sto
ps.
I used the Zen Media Explorer and Windows Media player to transfer the songs. All
stop around 250!
I have the new firmware installed.
The PC I have is:
Windows XP Media Edition
P-4
2 gigs of ram.
Again, I am able to upload songs, photos, and video and it plays no problem! The
problem here is I can't upload more than 250 songs. The total number of songs I want
to transfer is about 900 and is .2 gigs. The player is 4 gigs and there is a lot of
space when I transfer.
Thanks

Was just curious, was trying to establish whether it is a possibly DRM bug (on licensed) music or some other kind of bug with the unit. I have moved 450 songs total to my daughters Zen V Plus with out a problem, but its all ripped music from her music collection. So was thinking it might be a DRM issue of some kind. (Microsoft has released a ton of patches for DRM issues related to the transfer of music, am in the process of trying to document them all and post it later tommorrow.)?On my daughters Zen V plus I have all here music organized into folders:Artist->album->songI organized them that way on the PC before I copied them over. (MP3 Files, not WMA's)?I don't have a large enough collection of purchased music off the web to do any testing to see if it breaks when trying to transfer DRM protected music.
Could be something like a folder limit for number of files in one folder?Not sure, just trying to throw out ideas to help track down the problem, and help people get it solved.

Zen V plus "unknown error" while transferring tracks - "Player is busy&qu

I recently bought three players, 2 Zen V players ( and 4 Gbyte) and oner Zen V-plus player. I transferred music to the two Zen V player without problems.
When I try to transfer music to the Zen V-plus player, I can only transfer one or two songs and for the rest of the songs I get the message 'Unknown error'. It seems that the player is busy in transferring data, however, the automatic synchronisation is off (I can see that the player is busy because the display on the player shows dotted lines.....not very technical, but I am no expert....)I already installed the installation CD again. Transferring music to the Zen V players still goes without problem...

Unfortunately, I haven't the player right now. Because of this problem, I bring it back to my retailer sooner this afternoon, it will be send back to Creative. I will recover it later.
But I remember that I can transfert WMA DRM files with Windows Explorer (I think I hadn't any problem with any of them) but by this way, the license is not copied and the player can't read the file.
(And I can copy the 4 problematic files on another USB storage device)

How to install SQL*Plus help facilities and demos.

Hi, everyone
It appears error message say "failure to login" during SQL*Plus
part of the Oracle8 full installation. I knew that system want
to install SQL*Plus help and demos through logining one of
dba account(maybe system user account). However, due to
password's reason, can not log in SQL*Plus, so installer can't
execute named pupbld.sql script, result in SQL*Plus help and
demos can not be installed.
Now, I am intend to install these stuff lonely.
Could anyone help me? thank a lot.

Hi,
The pupbld.sql isn't the correct script to create the help
facility, it just creates product and user profile tables.
The help script is at $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/help (run as
system)
cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/help
sqlplus system/<password> @helptbl
sqlldr system/<password> control=plushelp.ctl
sqlldr system/<password> control=plshelp.ctl
sqlldr system/<password> control=sqlhelp.ctl
sqlplus system/<password> @helpindx
I think it is necessary to run the pupbld.sql script, without
this script everyone who logins in oracle with sqlplus will see
an error message, but... Run the script again:
$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/pupbld.sql
Best regards,
Ari

Zen Stone Plus Speaker. Browse music without starting the first song in the next fold

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure what I want is possible.
I've had this player for about a?week now and I believe I could browse to the folders while listening to a song. For some reason when I do that now the player?start playing the first song of every folder when I browse through it.
I'm starting to doubt if I remember it right that it was possible to browse through while listening to a song before?
I tried playing with the setting and even did the recovery tool thing to put the player back at the setting it came with. But it didn't work.
Anyone know if this is posible, and how?
Thanks.

Tag support: the ability to select music by album/artist/track instead of folders
Display always on option - i know its to help save battery life but sometimes it would be helpful if the display stayed on
Display artist and song name, inst4ead of just the song name/file name
Alarm clock function: my Zen stone plus has a speaker, and a clock function. My Zen Xtra has a clock and an alarm clock function but no speaker other than headphones (if any are plugged in) for the alarm to sond through, the same is true with my visio:M? the Zen Stone plusw/speaker has a clock but no alarm, and if anything it would make a fantastic little alarm clock with a 'sound' to music or wsound to beep? function.

Need help setting up color scanning through Adobe 9 pro

Unable to set-up the color scanning through adobe 9 pro, need help!

Obviously, FireWire is a fast connection, but for changing metadata, USB is plenty fast. Why it takes so long is anyones guess. Is it a USB 2.0 drive? Using external drives can be tricky. My father uses them for his gigantic library of almost 80,000 songs. When you have it setup properly, it works fine, but if you say forgot to have the external drive mounted when you launch iTunes, iTunes defaults the library back to your Music folder, then when you start importing, it puts in on the internal drive, then you have to go back and reset it, etc. Problem, with iTunes alone, you can only set one library, so if you want to use two drives, you will have to have one set at any given time.
So you could set the music one first, add to the library, then set it for movies, then add those to the library. Then keep the library set to the one you use most frequently, so you don't have to always switch. Once you import all media, and iTunes "knows" where to find the files, you can play them with no problems with two drives.
For wireless, you have a couple choices. If you have two Macs, you could keep one connected to the two drives, then with the other computer, just connect to the network and share the iTunes library so your other computer has access. If you want the music stored on a drive accessible wireless, you'll probably have to look to NAS, or some form of wireless storage. If you do that, their may even be a better third party software solution other than iTunes for managing multiple libraries.
This is something iTunes really needs. As libraries grow, one drive just isn't enough often.

HELP! Brand New Zen Stone Plus WON'T TURN

Just received the product today, downloaded and installed the latest software. Charged the unit for 3 hours and successfully loaded mp3 onto the player. Following every direction and clicked the "safely remove hardware" option. All ready to go... press the on/off button... NOTHING HAPPENED! No screen! LED light did not turn on! NOTHING!
So went to Creative site and follow the "fix it myself" direction, reset the player did not work, formatting the player did not work. There is no firmware download available for Zen Stone Plus (only Zen Stone), so I could not try that option.
I am starting to think there is a defect in my player. Do you guys have any suggestion on what I should do? Does any know how to contact Creative's US customer support (email address and/or phone numbers)? And please don't refer me to the 3 dollars to 30 mins support because I already spent money expecting to buy a non-defecti've product.
I tried looking for the customer support number before posting this message. I did not know Creative have such a poor customer support system! I clicked the "email support" on its site and it directed me to some "fix the player yourself" page (I also tried those solution but did not help), and does not lead to any customer support number! HORRIBLE!Message Edited by misellu on 07-3-20070:6 PM
****** UPDATE*********
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
Since I didn't want to spend more time to fuzz over a defecti've product, I returned my Zen Stone Plus to Amazon (I did this because I know sending it to Creative would take much longer time before I receive a replacement). Amazon sent me a new one in about 3 days at no charge (and free return shipping). The new one works fine now and does everything its suppose to do (so far...).
Just like I wrote it when I posted the problem, I tried different time intervals and it still wouldn't turn on. I couldn't have lock the unit because it requires power on to turn on the lock (which I was unable to turn on the unit).
The lesson I learn here is think about the product's customer support and where I am buying from before purchasing anything online. I would definitely think twice before buying Creative's products again.
Message Edited by misellu on 08-05-200702:2 PM

mine wont turn on after almost two weeks since i bought my player. i went to the store where i bought my player, asked them to replace my player right there and then (because i firmly believed that it was a factory defect) but to no avail. so i let the creative support checked my player and voila! my player was infected with WORM VIRUS!!! they fixed my player, deleted the virus and was all set after 2weeks. i scanned my computer, found A LOT OF WORM VIRUS, deleted them before connecting my player to this computer. after transferring files to my player & disconnecting it from this pc, it wont turn on again!! and i havent used it for at least 0mins since i got it back! darn!! i'm gonna return it again to the storea and ask for creative support's help again. does anybody know if there is an anti-virus available for zen products?
