Zen V Plus Music Trans

Hi! I am just wondering if I am charging my Zen V Plus for the st time just for a few seconds, can I actually transfer music while it is charging? Please help! Thanks! Message Edited by lorimak on 07-03-200708:53 PM

Actually, something occur when I was installing the Creative Mediasource 5 so no more of that for me cuz the program wouldn't run. Also, my WMP 0 wouldn't sync anymore but I found a tool that is useful in the Zen V Series Media Explorer. What is that? It is the Fill Up Player With Music thing! After I used it, it transferred all the songs that I wanted in my player. Hope this tool will help you too!

  • Zen Vision M Music Trans

    HI?I would like to know whether i can transfer music and videos to the zen vision M by just drag and drop option i.e. using my players as?Mass Storage device or i have to do it through the software that is provided my Creative. ThanksHemang Dhagai

    Hi !
    If you put your Vision: M into a UMS device, it partitions the player. So, when you plug in your Vision: M into the computer, you will just see the part that you have taken from the player as a memory device and you cannot see your music files and the system files.
    If you want to drag-and-drop your media files, connect your player, open MediaSource, select the button "Browse Media" and depending of what kind of media you're putting, select the appropriate folder and drop your files on it!
    Hope to help you out !

  • Zen nano plus music transfer er

    i started using my new nano plus gb and installed all the required the programs from the cd it came with. i used the creative media source organizer and the nano plus media explorer thing. everything worked fine for my music files with the smart fit too untill it reached about 579 mb. after 579 mb, it was stuck and wouldn't let me add any more songs. i don't know what's wrong. everything read as an error. someone please help.

    thy,
    There is a limit on how many files you can place in the root folder of a memory unit (player) like this, it's down to the file system. Try creating some folders and placing the songs in there instead.

  • Zen Nano Plus - can't move music to it all of a sud

    My daughter has had a Zen Nano Plus for about 4 months - no problems up to now. She wanted to put some new music on it, and no matter what we try, we get an error - Transfer error - an error has occurred while transferring this file. I've tried it using a variety of software as well as drag and drop. We just bought my other daughter the identical player, and I can move music to hers with no problem - so it's not the computer or the connection. Any ideas? The player works fine with the music that's on it. Any ideas, or is it RMA time? Thanks!

    Hi. What sounds like the same problem has happened to me my first time using the player. It's basically behaving as if it's full, when there is over 6MB of free space left. I read a thread on Amazon (from where I bought the player) and apparently this is a common problem with the Zen nano plus, so Amazon can't/ won't replace players with this defect :-( Do any experts out there think that the response to this problem could fix my issue too? So from now on I should transfer files into folders, instead of trying to transfer 500 songs all in one go? Cheers!

  • 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.

    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

    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 freeze on file trans

    To whom it may concern,?I'd like to preface this post by stating that I'm very experienced with computers (I build?systems for a living). I've tried my brand new Zen V Plus on 3 different computers and am experiencing random freezes on each one. My family has?2 iPods, a Dell player, an iRi'ver and a Disney Mix Max between us. I have never had ANY problems uploading and synching with any of these players. I've also plugged-n-played several of my friends players -- never a problem.
    I just spent 4 days (about 20 hours) trying to get my Zen to not freeze. I have?tried?EVERY suggestion on?ALL the forums and Creative's troubleshooting pages. I also have a bunch of my own?diagnosing tricks?up my sleeve. When my Zen freezes, I can only access the player by formatting. When I reload my files, it randomly shuts off, and freezes when it tries to re-build the library after a reset. To say I'm dissapointed is an understatement. I did a lot of research and the Zen seemed like the perfect player for me. It hurts to post this, but I hope future owners having these problems will read this and realize not to waste their time. Sincerely,a future former Zen V Plus owner?

    Hi jimmyboy88,? I am familiar with the reset hole.
    Is Creative aware that you are posting a link on your site that suggests users disassemble their players and void their warranties?As a professional troubleshooter, this is unacceptable. After resetting, my player freezes when trying to re-build the library. According to Creative's support pages, this would suggest corrupt data. Only after I reformat, I'll try to re-load the file that it froze on and it will load and play fine. It will freeze randomly on any file. And why do my files load perfectly on 4 other players and 3 other computers?I've upgraded the firmware, made sure I have all the WinXP updates, Creative software updates, tried 0 different USB ports among 3 computers, made all the suggested operating system tweaks, tried 4 different USB cables,? and ran some USB port diagnosing software. The fact is, the Zen V plus will randomly freeze. Sometimes it freezes at 2GB, sometimes at 2 MB of data. Once the Zen freezes, I reset, and it will hang on re-building the library every time. In recovery mode, the player will hang when I try to Clean. After I re-format, I'm able to gain access again and load files, but it freezes every time I try to load it up again. I have many years experience troubleshooting hardware & software. In my professional business, I would never?spend so much time on one unit. My only conclusion is that it is a firmware problem. I would take a look at the code and see what the problem is, but I'm not on Creative's payroll. On a more positi've note, the Zen V Plus looks like it would make a nice doorstop.

  • Zen Nano Plus - 300mb of the 1G is not available to store music

    About 300mb of?space is?unused on my Zen Nano plus (G) and I cannot load anything onto it. Any suggestions?Is this a firmware issue??

  • Zen V Plus freezing!! during file trans

    Hi everybody.
    i have a Zen V Plus GB and since i bought it (few months ago) i have the problem that the player just freeze during (big) file transfers. it happens more likely when i transfer files over 400-500mb to the player at once. but it also appears when transfering files one and one.
    after it freezes i just unplug the usb cable and i have to reset the player and select Format All and Clean Up (recovery mode) to bring the player to life again.
    i have send the player 2 times !! to the creative RMA and they just send it back to me (i received today) with an explanation that NO FAULT WAS FOUND but when i try to reproduce the fault IS there. the same problem over and over again.
    i also tested the player on other computers as well as on other usb cables and other operating systems but the problem remains.
    firmware is the newest, didnt make any difference..
    Please help me!? What can i do?!

    This is the same thing that has been happening to my Zen V Plus 4GB player. It is now in the hands of Creative repair for the second time. I only have a few more days of warranty left and I hope that this time when it gets back to me it is fixed. I did insist that they send me a prepaid shipping label for the second trip into the repair shop and I was firm in my request to either give me another player or replace the insides of the one I have. This time they have had the Zen V plus for two weeks and I have tried calling, with no luck. The automated site for RMA's hasn't been much help. We can't be the only ones with this problem and I hope that there will be an updated firmware somewhere down the line. I do own four other Zen V Plus 2GB players and haven't had any problems with them.
    Best wishes to you.

    Have tried to download drivers and software for Zen Micro. When I try to run it though, it does not install because it says that I do not have device connected. Have erased everything off of Zen Micro, but have not reformatted. When I attach Zen Micro to PC, Zen Micro displays "booted" & PC displays "Zen Micro" for a second or two, then switches to "MTP Device"?. Do I need to erase everything from the Zen Nano Plus first?2. What do you think my next step should be?Thx???

    I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
    As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.

  • Zen V Plus recognized by device manager, but not by Media Explorer/Windows Media Pla

    Hi,
    I just got back from Best Buy after buying a Creative Zen V Plus. I installed everything from the CD and plugged in the player, but the Media Explorer doesn't recognize it (even after restarting PC). The Device Manager recognizes it but there's an exclamation mark next to it. The Windows Wizard came up numerous times asking me for permission to connect to the internet and install the driver for me, and after a while I tried doing so but it said it couldn't find anything (I would like to shave that wizard's beard off).
    I went through all the stickies in the forum and about 3 different troubleshooting sessions with no luck. I googled it and asked this question on Ask Yahoo!, but no luck yet.
    Here's my PC info:
    Windows XP SP2
    768MB Ram
    Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
    USB 2.0 (I tried different ports, the player does seem to be charging as there's a little lightning bolt flashing on top of the battery icon)
    I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
    Thanks!

    Ok. I checked my version of XP. It is XP Pro, Version 2002, SP2. I checked and already had the 2 hotfixes that were listed as being needed before proceeding. I followed all the steps and changed the registry key on "everyone" as the instructions stated to do. My ZVM is still not recognized by any of the software for transferring or organizing MP3's. My computer still recognizes that it is attached. It still gives me the device icon in the task bar. It still says it's A-ok in the Device Manager. It does everything, except it is not detected by ANY of my music software. <sigh>? Frustration is at its peak for me right now. I really appreciate all of the efforts. I'm at my wits end now. I have done everything you have indicated I should, but am getting the same results. I did purchase an extended warranty from Circuit City where I purchased this last summer. Is that the next step? Do I need to get this replaced?I love this player and really don't want to go through this again. We had to exchange it twice in the first month because it froze up and wouldn't do a thing. This last one has been perfect. I keep it in a leather padded case at all times. It never has the battery drained. It never gets jostled or bumped or dropped or anything that might damage it. When not being played, it stays on my desk in the case.
    Thanks so much for any and all help.

  • Spontaneous black screen with Zen V Plus. / Where do I send it

    Dear Creative,
    I purchased a 2GB Zen V Plus roughly four months ago. It was a present to myself and a tool to accompany me on my long flight. (You see, I was about to spend 9 hours on a plane as I moved to the United Kingdom.) Before I purchased this lovely device, I did extensi've research. I had planned on buying an MP3 player that exhibited the features I wanted AND would last quite a while. Everything I read about the Zen V Plus was perfect. Not a complaint in sight.
    Until today.
    Over these past few months, I haven't actually used my Zen V very often. I can count on one hand the amount that I actually have used it. Once on a short walk to post office. Once on a walk to ASDA. Once whilst I was hoovering and waiting for my laptop to come in the post. Plus, the flight across the Atlantic -- about 2 hours continuous use. The rest of these four months, my little Zen V has been nestled away in its case, in my nightstand drawer, next to my bed.
    Now that you know all this, I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I pulled it out of its case this afternoon and discovered my screen was drastically faded. My initial thought was that it may be a problem with the contrast. So I inserted a thin object into the reset slot and powered my Zen V back on. This is when I discovered, well, nothing. A plain black screen. No lines, no text, no glow -- nothing. My buttons still glow with the blue color they always have when my Zen is powered on. Plus, when I push 'play' music happily sounds through my earbuds.
    After I discovered that my precious Zen was broken, I quickly took to the Internet to find a solution. But what do I find? Several cases like mine strewn across message board after message board. Even a search for 'black screen' on the forum I'm currently posting this to returns with ten results.
    Is this a problem with 'firmware' or is this a problem with design? Did you acti'vely know about this problem when these devices were tested and 'OK'd to ship? A better question is, do you care? Why is there no recall and why is there no repair time faster than two months?
    Furthermore, I'm well under my warranty expiration date. It comes with a year from the date of purchase, no? The downside of this is that every bit of my Zen V paperwork is back in a box, within a box, within my storage unit in the USA.
    So now that you know my problem, please help with a solution. How do I pursue repairs on my Zen V Plus? Where would I send it within the UK? Is my warranty still valid now that I've moved? If not, what will the price be to repair? Etc etc.
    Don't get this letter wrong. The times that I've used my Zen V, I've absolutely loved it. It's a very nicely packaged mp3 player with some equally nice features. Trouble is, I expected it to hold out a bit longer than /3 of a year.
    Love,
    Vrai

    Yep. Tried that. A few of times, actually. I tried to 'update the firmware' also. I did this blindly (more or less) as I couldn't actually see the screen. I just followed the physical instructions and tried each possible thing you could. I'm not actually sure if I ended up repeating myself. Did it about eight to be sure. I think there are only four options on the menu where you can access the firmware.

  • Zen V Plus firmware wishl

    I could not find a wishlist for the Zen V / V Plus, so here it is.
    Plain and simple just like the other player wishlists. No questions and no discussions. Just topics with firmware improvements for Zen V / V Plus. Hopefully, the Creative developers will see this.
    The Zen V Plus is a great multi-function DAP, almost perfect for its niche. It only needs a few improvements.
    A list in order of importance to me (most important first):
    ) Improve the current bookmarking mechanism by saving the current playlist along with the current audio track position. Currently, if you are listening to track number 0 out of 20 tracks for an audiobook and save it to a bookmark, restoring that bookmark will restore only the one saved track to the current playlist. You have to manually add back the other tracks to the current playlist.
    2) When powering-off on a paused audio track, the Zen should power-on paused to the same position in the audio track. Currently, the Zen V powers-on paused to the beginning of the same audio track. I listen to a lot of audio books and track position is important in a power-on resume.
    2a) Option to treat an album as continuous audio content so that a rewind started in track 6 will back into track 5 continuously (in other words from the beginning of track 6 to the end of track 5 and so on). This is very important for listening to audio books.
    3) Add FM tuner radio recording.
    4) When scrolling a long list of songs, the scrolling should accelerate.
    5) The lower end of the volume scale in terms of loudness should be quieter. I listen with high sensitivity IEMs at night and level one is too loud.
    6) Audible.com tracks should be in their own album named Audible. Right now they fill up the Album selection list. I have about 40 Audible.com tracks on my Zen V Plus and about 20 music albums. The Audible.com tracks clutter up the album list.
    7) When configuring the menu, unchecked top level items should move into the EXTRAS menu. In other words, unchecking PHOTO would move it into EXTRAS.
    8) Option to backup all Zen V settings and radio presets to the PC.
    9) Allow charging of the Zen V from an ordinary (not Win XP) USB port or from an ordinary USB charger.
    0) Add a sensitivity (low and high) option and/or an AGC (auto gain control) option to voice recording for close and distant recording.
    ) An option to select all tracks EXCEPT speech tracks like Audible.com tracks, podcasts, and audiobook tracks, so that Shuffle mode will play only music. This might be done by having a setting for genre exclusions (speech, audiobook, podcast, and so on)
    2) A fade in/fade out option.
    3) A configurable HOLD option (lock all, not volume, not play/pause, not both).
    4) Scheduled FM recording.
    It would be nice if the Zen V Plus could play compressed video, but I presume that with a small battery and low power processor, this is not possible.Message Edited by IpaqMan on 2-05-200609:2 AM

    Glad this form is here. I was considering buying a Zen V Plus. I currently use a zen nano plus to listen mostly to audible books. My complaints:. Can't lock it so that if it's sitting in a purse it sometimes accidently turns on and then keeps going until it sues up the battery2. You have to scroll through everything on the zen nano plus in order to get to the book you want to listen to.I thought I would change to the Zen V Plus but am very concerned that you can't rewind within a track. Iuse that a lot and don't want to only be able to go back or forward to a a chapter or track. I tried using a Sandisk Sansa?c40 which had this characteristic and it drove me crazy and I went back to my Zen Nano.
    I 'd like a player that has a menu so that you can choose the book or music you want to go to from a menue - withhout scrolling , but that allows you to rewind\fastforward inside the book by the second. ANy ideas?Thanks?Message Edited by lisamp3 on 05-0-20072:26 PM

  • 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!
