Zen Vision M : 60GB sound issue solv

Hello, yesterday, i?we bought a ZEN Vision M:60GB player and a after playing few tracks, i was looking for a reason of sound hissing a scratching. In this forum i found an answer why,but i cannot find if it was patched or repaired in next firmware For 30GB Zen is available version .6 (-was it patched? in this version) ,for my 60GB is available .20.
Sorry for my English,
Thanks for any answers.

I've tried 3 different firmwares(EU and US) ,reformatting player and reloading of firmware,but with no effect. It is a problem with every 6th song on average. Especially it is markable on tracks,which was grabbed from original CD's without any loss sound of quality(like on tracks downloaded from internet)and with full sound spectrum.Very bad on sound with bass.
With enabled equalizer...no matter which preset-it is worse..
On my old mp3 player (Iri'ver ifp999) and with equalizer enabled on U-bass or Rock-the sound on these 'bad' tracks is excellent...full of bass without ANY sound distortion.
On my X-FI without sound distortion too. I'm using these headphones: Koss Porta Pro and Sony MDR-EX5.
I'm sad about it.
After reading many threads in forum about Vision M-i'm sure,that it's not only my problem. If it is a problem of compatibility od hardware and firmware in ZEN,could it be fixed in next firmware?
Thanks for answer

Zen Vision M:60Gb poor bass performa

I've recently purchases a Zen Vision:M 60Gb to replace an IRi'ver. I am not pleased with the bass response, and was wondering if anyone knew a way to improve it. I have tried setting the EQ and adding bass boost, which is a very mild improvement, this also has the added annoyance of clipping/distorting anything with deep bass notes (Portishead, American Beauty theme etc)I have tried with both Shure E3c, and Sennheiser HD595, and neither has the deep bass response that I am used to. Is this just a firmware issue?I currently encode using the highest setting in WMP 0, is there a better way to rip cds?If anyone could suggest a solution I would be very greatful, as it has got to the point where I am starting to think 'Ipod' and no-one deserves that!I apologise if someone has covered this in another thread, I did a search and couldn't find one, but I am new.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately 5 isn't quite loud enough for me. I wonder if there is a chance that Creative will improve the firmware to provide a better bass response, if this is possible?I have since read that European firmware can be limited, my player is at the latest available version, so I was going to try putting the American firmware on it to see if it improves the output. I have also now had a shot of a colleagues Ipod, and it is not any better, sound quality in general is in fact?worse, so thankfully I won't have to go down that route

Zen Vision:M 60GB firmware: NEEDS 'Disc Number' tag supp

The Creative Zen Vision:M 60GB firmware (.20.02e) does not recognise the 'Disc Number' part of ID3 tags.
This is VERY annoying as albums made up of more than one CD do not play in the correct order (they play in order of 'Track Number', e.g. ",,,,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,5,5" etc). I do not want to go through my collection separating these large albums into a messy bunch of single discs.
This seems like a simple firmware issue: please update it!

jjwood,
Although I can understand the situation, please refrain from using bad language which is uncalled for. In any case, if the player is still having problem despite attempt at rescue mode, then contact Customer Support for service. If the store where you purchase the product allow exchanges, it maybe faster to be done through them.

Zen Vision M 60GB removable disk on Vi

Hi,
I want to use the removable disk function on my zen vision m 60gb at capacity 32GB. I can't do this on the player; it wants me to use the "Creative Removable Disk Manager" to set the capacity, but what looks like the setup for this program on the install disk won't run on vista, and I can't see any help for this on the site. Can anyone advise a way to let me use the 32GB removable disk function?
Thanks

Thanks for the response,
The player has 8 options for capacity of removable disk, 52MB, GB, .5GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 6GB and 32GB. Changing it through the player itself, like you say, works for choices up to 8GB, but trying it on 6GB and 32GB the player gives the message "Unable to resize. Use the Creative Removable disk manager to resize." I've tried cleaning up and rebooting, I've tried formatting the removable disk section but no joy. I had the impression that this issue was common to all these players, because the size was too big to handle itself.

Where can I download back ZEN Vision:M 60GB firmware v1.10.04_0.0.

Hi all,
I bought my Zen Vision:M 60GB a few days ago and somehow I made
the firmware doesn't work. I tried to find it from Creative Labs official website.
They only provide the one for 30GB.
Does anyone know where I can download the firmware back?
Thanks a lot.
Holly

Cat,
Of course if my Zen Vision M doesn't have any troubles of the firmware, it is good to buy.
But right now, creative labs put this out of the market and not ready the firmware for the customers even the original one... well, I don't mean that other people should not buy it but if they have the same probelm like me. Go to the customer service center is the only way to solve it... I also think it is not becuase how new of Zen Vision M 60GB, upload the original firmware is easy, right? And no one can guarantee that when I would screw up the firmware, right?
Also, the supporting team keeps telling me that the one online is good for 30GB and 60GB... well, I did try it. My Zen Vision M just told me that I need to connect the MP3. I did but the firmware didn't detect it.
I would like to go to the customer service center in Hong Kong. But their office hour is same as me even mine is longer than them... and they don't open it on publish holiday and sunday. Tell me what should I do? Yeah, right, apply a day off and go to the custmer service center and just for that... As you said it is very new MP3 player, I hope they have enough hardware or software to fix my problem.

Creative Zen Vision M 60GB no longer recognised on Vi

Im running vista home premium and have had no problems with Zen Vision M 60gb until now. When connected to my PC, the player lights up but does not begin charging as normal.
In addition, my PC will not recognise the player, only saying I can 'safely remove a USB mass storage device'.
Any ideas? - I cant get into the player as the battery ran down (hence why I was trying to charge it in the first place!)
Thx

Do you have a wall charger for the player? If you do use that instead of the usb from the computer. Also it may take a day or to to charge if the battery is really drained. A good charger to use if you have one is the wall charger for the PlayStation Portable. Radio Shack should also have one you can use for it also.

Zen vision M 60GB - storing of pho

Hi,
Does the Zen Vision M 60GB allows me to store as many photos as I want to on it. Or does it limit me to say 50% of the total GB. I read that the 30GB has this restriction where it allows only 6GB for storing files.
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks

Is there enough memory for the video to fit's Is it in the right format/codec? I am assuming it is since you were not asked to re-encoded before transferring the file.
Other than that, you may try restoring or formating the player to the original settings. The worst case scenario is that it is a hardware problem, but try to eliminate all other alternati'ves before reaching that conclusion.
Good luck!

Zen Vision M static sounding while playi

I have a 30gb Zen Vision M and I love the heck out of this thing! I've always been devoted to Creative like a fanboy. I've had a few problems with my Micros(plural, at least 2, both broke cause I'm clumsy) and my original MuVo. Anyways, I've dropped my Vision M many many times which is probably why I have this problem, yet I'm so pleased that it still works because my old Micros would die with just a few drops, so for that, I'm quite pleased. But every few songs my Zen will have this very loud static as if it's being interferred with. It sounds like a radio station that isn't getting good reception. I usually just skip the song or start it over and it goes away, but I'd like to know if there's a simple solution to fixing this issue. Any help is appreciated.

Try using the recovery mode http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3 do a cleanup>reboot of the player. That may correct it or delete & reload the song. Try not to drop your player anymore.Message Edited by coachop94 on -6-2008 :39 PM

Creative Zen Vision M 60GB Questions-Future Ow

Hi, Well I used to have a 4th Generation iPod and recently it crapped out on me and now with the new and "improved" iTunes 7 I have decided to never go to Apple again.
Now the only thing on my mind is the ZVM, With its capabilities to play many types of video codecs makes it far more easy for me so I dont have to do a whole lot of conversions compared to if I were to get a iPod 5th generation.
I was thinking that I would get pretty close to filling the 30GB up to the max if I got lazy about trying to keep things in order so I looked at the next best thing, the 60GB. Now for the questions, The only reliable place I have found that sell the 60GB is Newegg.com, but they sell it for 275, barely 25-35 more than some other stores that sell the 30GB(Newegg is selling the 30GB for 249), 30 bucks more for double storage?!? Instincts are telling me that it sounds too good to be true. How much bigger in dimensions is the 60GB compared to the 30GB? On neweggs site the dimensions seem suspicious because not just the width is bigger but all the dimensions are bigger on the 60GB, Is that correct? Can someone tell me the correct dimensions? Now lets say I do get it, can anyone name a really popular/good case for the 60GB and possible where I could buy it's
Thanks in advance.

Well, to answer your question, I just bought the new 60GB Zen Vision M from newegg.com after comparing many sites it is in fact the cheapest. I could hardly believe my eyes too at first, but new that they are a reputible store and decided to go for it. The specifications they have are indeed correct. The new 60GB Zen Vision M is slightly thicker than the 30GB model, but not as drastic as everyone (especially all the ipod fanboys) are claiming! I actually don't mind it at all because it feels sturdy and is still small enough to fit into a shirtpockrt. Unfortunatley though, as of yet, there are no cases available to fit this slightly bigger unit. I hope Creative gets on the ball soon and fixes this by the holidays because I would hate to have my brand new expensi've investment get all dingy looking so soon. Oh well, at least I still have the UGLY pouch it comes with. But this is the coolest machine I have ever had the pleasure of owning so far, I have downloded over 300 cd's from my collection and 5 movies (in several formats) flawlessly and still have almost 38 GB left!!! This machine is worth every penny and at 30$ cheaper than the 30GB price (at the time it was rolled out, and not much more than what it is going for now) it is a no brainer! The people who complain about creative devices being "bricks" are probably the same people who have phones that are the size of sticks of gum! You can keep your inferior Ipods, I will enjoy my better screen, more features, and cheaper price and laugh at the people who get sold on the ipod fad...

Zen vision: M 60gb leather c

hi?just bought a Zen vision:M 60 GB. It's cool and everything. I need to protect it but the accessories for it is not available especially leather case and silicone skin. When it is available.

[size="2" face="Verdana">The DLO Action Jacket for Vision:M does not work with the 60GB Vision:M. Even though the case stretches, it causes the buttons of the player to be continually depressed, rendering the player useless. So my suspicion is that any case not specifically designed for the slightly thicker 60GB player will have the same problem. Here's the dimensions of the players:?[size="" face="Verdana">30GB - 04 x 62 x 8.6mm
60GB - 04 x 62 x 22.mm?[size="2" face="Verdana">You can see the 60GB is 3.5mm thicker, which?is about /8th of an inch.[size="2" face="Verdana">?[size="2" face="Verdana">I would personally stay away from all Vision:M cases out there that are advertised without a capacity (as just a "Vision:M" case) or as a dual-purpose 30GB/60GB case.

Zen Vision M 60GB Player recognition w

Hello everyone. I have a Zen Vision M 30 GB player that I've had for a year and love it, so I recommended the product to my boyfriend. He received his 60 GB player in the mail today from amazon.com. Problem: Neither Windows Media Player NOR the Creative Media Explorer recognize the player. My 30GB player is instantly recognized on his computer with his cable, and on my computer with my cable. His player is NOT recognized on either machine, with either cable. Because the 30GB is recognized, I've ruled out faulty USB ports or cables as a problem. BUT...he did plug his in and charge it up, and while it was charging, about 0GB of his 30GB music collection was transferred to his player, with no particular rhyme or reason, and no direction from him. Obviously, at one point, it saw the player or it wouldn't have been able to transfer the music that it did. Both computers in question are running Windows XP SP 2 with all current updates applied,?He has emailed customer support, but it's Friday night and we aren't hopeful that we'll hear anything before Monday. Any ideas in the meantime? I searched for an updated driver, but none were posted on the web site. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!?~Val in IL

for new zen vision, you need to charge for 5+hrs in order for PC to recognise itdo you have a charger, it will do a better job

Zen Vision:m 60gb "Hardware Problem" Error Mess

My Zen Vision:m has been rebuilding after every startup so I decided to use the recovery tool to fix the problem. In the middle of updating the firmware, the process froze, my player rebooted and now it displays an error message that just says "hardware problem". I can't turn off the player, and it just returns to the error message when I reset, not allowing for me to reboot in recovery mode. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thanks.

Bad hardri've. Can be replaced google Zen Repair or search Ebay

Zen Vision M: 30gb - serious issue, random rebuil

I'm looking for some cure to this, and depending on the replies here my next purchase may be an Ipod or a Zune...but I really liked Creative Labs but lately the problem with my Zen is unreal.
I've had it for over a year and it's been treating me great up until the past few months, and it's just getting worse.
PROBLEM: The Zen Vision M 30b keeps randomly restarting, and every time it restarts it has to rebuild the library. Before this would happen once or twice a week, and now I don't even use my Zen anymore because this happens six to seven times A DAY. Can't use it in the car, work, or on my way to class. It restarts in the middle of songs, without any movement of the player at random intervals. With or without headphones plugged in.
I've used a protecti've case the entire time, and there's been a few drops, but nothing inside the Zen appears broken. I deleted all video content, this problem still happens.
I am using latest firmware ver. .62.02, and even reinstalled the firmware.
My last idea is to downgrade the firmware, I don't believe this happened nearly as often with a previous version.
Any help or replies to better versions of firmware or ways to cure this would be greatly appreciated.
- anthony

I've formatted it, and threw on about 20 songs...works fine. Once I start hitting a few gigs of music it starts to crap out. The unit seems to be screwed up after a few drops onto pavement from waist height (with a protection case of course) I'm now going to attempt the recovery menu stuff and get back to you guys, thanks for the info. If this fails, I might move onto an 80gb unit, either and ipod(ick ) or Zune(..yuck ) It seems each player has their draw backs, although I find the vision m perfectly fine except for the problem of editing multiple tracks when songs are on the player.
