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 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 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 Vision M 30GB is stuck in Recovery Mode

Hi, I have a Zen Vision M 30GB that is stuck in Recovery Mode. I have tried ' Cleaning ', ' Formatting ' and ' Reload Firmware ' but none of my 3 computers in which it was previously used recognise the device. The computers have Win Xp Home, Win xP Pro and Win 7 Pro, 64-bit. I could get it to connect once to my Win 7 and I set the firmware down to .4 ( I think), as I have read that latest Firmware .20 does not recognise some of the new batteries with 400 mAh and 700mAh batteries. I have tried the MP3 Recovery Tool, Creative Wizard tool but none work. Would appreciate any suggestion. I have read extensi'vely the postings about Zen Vision M in the ABIT (anythingbutipod) Forums, but no luck in re-loading the firmware. TIA, MPM

I had installed .4. and in the Recovery Mode, it dispalys v0.0.6. I have Creative Zen Vision M Media Explorer installed in both, my Xp Home desktop and Xp Pro ( not 64-bit) in my laptop. I will check which version of WMP is installed in my Xp systems.
On many occasions, all 3 computers (including Win & Pro 64-bit) signalled ' Un-recognised USB Device many times but now nothing happens and I can operate the touch pad of the Zen even when it is connected to the computers !!

Zen Vision M Album

I have a Zen Vision M 30GB model. I really enjoy the album art feature. Recently, I purchased an 8Gb Zune and the album art shows full screen with the progress bar over top. Is there a setting on the Zen that allows for full screen album art?

I get some funky message when I try to use WMP0 to rip,?]C00D0FAA: Cannot rip the filesWindows Media Player cannot rip (copy) the track from the CD because no compatible MP3 encoder is installed on your computer. Install a compatible MP3 encoder, or choose a different format for tracks ripped from CDs (such as Windows Media Audio).
To obtain an MP3 encoder (also known as an MP3 Creation Pack), see the MP3 Creation Packs and DVD Decoders for Windows XP Web page at the Microsoft Web site.

ZEN Vision:M Album picture is

Hello,
I got a Creative Zen Vision:M
I notice that some of my albums while playing them do show a picture of the album cover along on the display along with the text.
Most of the albums that are plaied just show text and I want to make every album to show picture of cover when played.
How?
Best Regards,
Britney!

Connect your ZVM to the PC and go into Zen Vison M Media Explorer. Then go to browse media. In the VIEW tab at the top, switch to album view. Then go into your music collection and go into the artists folder. Then go into the album folder within the artists folder and you will notice a blank image with a musical note and a disk. Drag and drop the picture of the album you want in there and it will (it should) show up on your ZVM.
Keep in mind you won't be able to do this if you have Windows Media player . So if you have it, get rid of it.
After you are done (this will take long if you plan to do it for all the albums) then disconect the Zen and reset it so the album art will show accordingly.

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.

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.

Zen Vision:M Album Pict

Hi all,
I bought one of these a month or so ago and its great
One thing that has been bugging me is that when I put my music on, there is an album cover of a "System of a Down" cover, I only have one or 2 songs from them and I cannot find any picture files of it on my computer.
So where is it getting it from? It seems to appear on the songs which don't have an album cover pic.
Thanks,
Daveo007

I'm guessing you're using Windows Media Player to transfer your music. It's not your player, it's Windows Media Player screwing up when it transfers your files. The only way I know to fix it is to right click in WMP on all the songs it occurs to then click "Find Album Info". Then click on the album which best matches your song. Then delete the songs off your Zen Vision:M and retransfer them. It should fix the problem.

Zen Vision M Album Cov

Can someone please tell me I can only see one album cover for all the albums on my player? How can I make it so that it shows the correct ones or just none at all?

Download MediaMonkey !Install it and if you want to add files to your library, press "Insert" and select the type of files you wanna add and the folders of your hard disk. Then if you want to put artwork, you right-click your song and select "Get Info-Buy" and select whatever online music store. This will automatically update the artwork AND ID3 Tags. Or if you want to put them manually, right-click your song and select "Properties" and click the "Album Art" tab and then you add the album Art!

Zen Vision M album i

I was just curious if anyone knew how to change the icon which appears next to the song title on the "now playing" screen. I have some mp3s that are shown with album art of completely different artists and it's really unfortunate to see, for instance, peter frampton's face next to alanis's song.
thanks ahead for any help

If you have WMP0, go into ZVM Media Explorer, then go into "browse media" and then in the "View" tab, select "Album", and after that go into any artist and you will see a blank picture with a musical note. From there you can arrange any album art by dragging and dropping. Good luck!!

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.

Creative Zen Vision W - Liquid Crystal broken, Can it be Fixed ????

Hi guys
the actual plastic screen is intact but the liquid crystal behind it is shattered so i can't see the screen. The player still functions and i use it as an mp3 blind but i can't of course watch videos anymore or search for songs. Luckily when it broke it was set to random jukebox
Can the liquid crystal be fixed or is the whole thing stuffed ?
thanks
