Zen Vision M and Real Pla

Since I got my Vision M I have always had problems linking up with Real Player. It takes a really long time for the content of the device to load into the Real player. Just recently I have been unable to view the contents of playlists created in Real Player and transferred to the device. When I try to add new playlists the device locks up and needs to be reset. It has also locked up when deleting tracks as well (through Real Player) I tried dumping all the tracks and reloading, but the problem is reoccuring.
Any feedback I can get would be very helpful.
PS: I'm sort of stuck with Real Player since I purchased a bunch of (DRM) tracks from them prior to getting the Vision M.
Thanks.

Yes you were right I re-tried after reading your reply. They need to be really inserted reasonably tightly in your ears. If they are even slighlty loose then the bass is lost and other harmonic ranges lost. Finding the right ear piece so the fit is right seems important so they re not loose.
Also saw this link http://toykeeper.net/reviews/shure_e3c - someone with the same problem.
Thank for your help.

Zen Vision: M and .AVI Fi

So, the official site says it cannot support it but it is odd that the Zen Vision can support it whereas the Zen Vision:M can't. So I would like to know if DivX .AVI files are supported by Zen Vision: M and if I am going to use my Zen for a mix of Music but also for video what yould you reccomend, Zen Vision or the Zen Vision: M.
Thank You,
The Demanding Consumer

Vision or Vision:M
Yes, the vision:M plays DivX files:
Supported video formats: MPEG/2/4-SP, WMV9, Motion-JPEG, compatible DivX 4,5 and XviD
The Vision is designed primarily with video in mind, with its 3.7" screen. If you plan on watching videos (30 minutes+), then I suggest the Vision. The 2.5" screen on the Vision:M is good for watching short clips but, even with my eyes, it is hard to watch it for long amounts of time. Granted, the Vision is a bigger player with a bigger price tag, but has features the Vision:M doesnt. For good reviews of both, check www.cnet.com. Both are great players, and youll be fine with either.

Zen Vision, MediaSource and the Mac

I am considering recommending that my girlfriend?purchase of?a 30 or 60Gb Zen Vision M as a basis for digitising her music collection. This recommnedation is based on my happy experiences with the excellent MediaSoure product on my ageing JukeBox III. However, she has a Mac computer and not a PC. Any basic (or?indeed detailed) guidance or recommendations that anyone can offer?Much appreciated. Also, does anyone know how I might be able to get MediaSource 5 (PC) to work alongside my olde Creative JUkeBox III -according to the autoupdate, this old thing is supported any more??Nick

APerfectCircle,
The Zen Sleek Photo does exist and it's available. It may not be within your region for purchase but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Since the player does exist, this thread really serve no purpose at all and will only mislead others so I'm closing this.

To do that you want the full sized Zen Vision, not the Vision m.

Can Zen Vision M read rmvb files? If not, can I convert to mpeg? Which software should I use to convert?

Well I figured it out. Turns out if you go to Sync(little down arrow)>DEVICE_NAME>Advanced Options>Quality if you leave it on automatic it will transfer wav files, but if you change it (I did without knowing) then the highest quality you're going to get is 92 WMA.

Zen Vision M and Vi

When I was using my Zen Vision M with Windows XP, I can add album artworks through Zen Media Explore by setting the view to "Album View". But now I am on Vista, the Zen Media Explore doesn't have the "Album View" option anyway so I can't add album artworks. Anyway has any ideas?

Yeah I know WMP works, but it doesn't always find the right artwork and track information. I manually tagged all of my music under iTunes and added the album arkworks myself. I just don't understand why they took the function away in Zen Media Explore for Vista.

Prob with 30gb Zen Nx Transferring On Real Pla

Hi i have a 30gb zen nx. I have been trying to transfer tracks with a usb cable on the realplayer software. It is ok transferring some tracks then it freezes. Also when you try to delete tracks it freezes. Only way to start again is by taking cable out, closing realplayer and re opening.
I have tried other software and that is not much better. I contacted real but they couldnt help me. I have also done a os reinstall and upgraded the firmware etc.
I would appreciate anyones help please.
Many thanks
Ross Patzelt

Did you update everything? You want to go to the downloads page and download:
. Drivers = Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03
2. Software = Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
3. Software plugin = Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource
You might also want to download the firmware (Creative NOMAD? Jukebox Zen NX firmware update version .0.02), but this is only going to work if you've got a working connection with the player.
Ultimately you need to determine if the problem is with the player or the PC, and a very quick way of checking this (reiterated in the FAQ post I think) is to install the drivers and software on another PC just to test if it works there.
Also look for the link "PC connection problems with your player" in the FAQ post, which has a lot more troubleshooting information.

Is there a known bug with the zen vision;m and usb internet adapt

i bought the zen m yesterday. i've down loaded it onto my pc.
audible wont sync to it. the creative firmware updater wont update it keeps saying its not connected.
Windows media player synced to it ( the only thing thats gone right so far lol )
and worst of all every time i plug in the unit via usb. if i unplug the unit my netgear usb WPNT2 stops recieving all 802. signals until the driver explodes taking the system down with it. or i manual reboot.
whats going on?
i'm thinking i should have gotten a Zune, and if i can't resolve this i'm going to have to take this back.
i put the zen on my laptop and xbox 360 and it works fine. it runs a pcmcia adaptor.
my desktop is a media center rollup 2 everything up todate. my netgear drivers are uptodate. i dont know whats going on here.Message Edited by paladin238 on 2-02-200604:24 PM

it's not connected on a hub.
update audible still can't activate the zen, and it still keeps crashing the wireless adaptor, which inturns causes a stop error and crashes the system. i can't win =/

Smart Playlists on Zen Vision:M and Creative Media Organizer Software

I come from the iPod world, where, once a playlist is created in iTunes, the playlist is transferred to the iPod, and is automatically updated each time you sync. That's why it's called "smart" playlist.
I can create a smart playlist using the Creative Media Organizer software. It automatically updates the playlist, based on the rules I defined. However, the playlist created on the Media Organizer does NOT get transferred to the Vision:M player! What's the point in that?
I can, of course, copy the smart playlist to the Vision:M manually... but there are two HUGE problems with that...
) The smart playlist becomes a "static" playlist... it does not get updated when you sync -- the music in the playlist never changes (even though the original smart playlist is updated on each sync),
2) The software recopies the *music* back to the Vision:M each time you create a playlist! This means that it overwrites the music that was there, with the (same) music in the playlist!! This takes FOREVER, if there are a lot of titles in the playlist! This is obviously a brain-dead way of doing things! All the software/Vision:M needs to do, is to copy the actual music files that don't currently exist on the player, and then create a text file that contains the *location* of the music... in other words, an M3U playlist file! One of the (many) issues with doing things the way this software does it, is that each time a track appears in a separate playlist, a duplicate entry for that song appears in the Vision:M's music list! So, if you have 5 playlists, and each one contains "Mozart's 5th", then when you list all the songs on your Vision:M, you'll get 5 copies of "Mozart's 5th" listed! Dumb!
Any way around these problems? Can I have smart playlist that gets transferred to the player so that it contains only the songs I want? Does it *have* to recopy ALL the songs to the player, each time I create a playlist? Does it *have* to add duplicate entries to the list of files on my Vision:M?
Is the software *really* as dumb as I think it is, or am I just being a BDU (Brain Dead User)?

You can only automatically sync playlists using Windows Media Player 0 as far as I know. There's lots of other software out there that can use the Media Transfer Protocol of the Vision:M, but I'm not sure what they can do.
Creative's software is desperately lacking in the playlist sync area, so you're not being a BDU

Zen Vision:M and linux (windows explore

Hey
I am wondering about the compatibility with linux. I've read some posts in this forum claiming that it's no good, which annoys me because I am really interrested in this product and I am only using linux.
But after reading some reviews on the net, some reviewers claim that they can add songs, video etc. using windows explorer, in other words that there is not necessary to install the supplied software (some call it UMS or plug-n-play). If this really works as they claim, there should be few problems getting a linux file browser to do the same job.
Eyeing a glimpse of hope, I've read most of the reviews on the net, and I'm getting a lot of contradictrary information: Two sites claim that it is plug-n-play compatible, several doesn't mension it (which implies there's no compatibility), and at least one claims that its plug-n-play incompatibility is its major con. I am confused!
Anybody have any experience with linux and the vision:m? Anybody able to confirm the plug-n-play compatibility?
And another thing, the player is described to be MTP-based. Does that mean that the player will only be browsable with win. explorer and not a linux file browser, or does this only concern the use with windows media player?

You won't be able to add media to the Vision:M with Linux.
You can create a MSC partition on the Vision, set it to Removable disk mode, and Linux will see it. You can copy data to it, etc. like a portable HDD, but you can't view any of these files on the player itself.

Zen Nano Plus and Real Player Music St

Anyone know how to get .rax files purchased from the Real Music Store to load onto the Nano Plus?

[size="2" face="Comic Sans MS">I have the Real Player Plus version of 0.5, so hopefully your player will have some of the same tools. First, highlight the track you want to convert in Real Player. At the top of the page of your Real Player, click on Tools and you will find Convert Media Format. Click to open? and it should show the track you are wanting to convert and another pane with your options. You will have to use wma or MP3 for your Creative Player. [size="2" face="Comic Sans MS">If you don't have this converting option in Real Player, use dBPowerAMP music converter. You can find their site on Google and download a free version.[size="2" face="Comic Sans MS">Best wishes,[size="2" face="Comic Sans MS">luvmyrescuedogs

Zen Vision:M and Album Art

So I know it has album art and I should be happy about, and I am. But I wish I could zoom in! Has anyone found a way, or is there a hack! Please do tell?

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...

I own a Zen Vison: M and am wanting a speaker system for my player

I know there aren't any docking speaker systems for them yet, and I honestly doubt there will be any real soon.
So what would be the best way to go?
My X girlfriend had an I-Pod (poooo) and she had this speaker system.
http://www.alteclansing.com/product_details.asp?pID=IM7
Honestly that thing would be the only reason I would go gay for I-Pod.
What would I have to do to get something close to that?
A dock: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...7&product=4485
Speaker System: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...7&product=4097
Wireless remote?:http://us.creative.com/products/prod...Specifications
The wireless remote confuses me becuase I swear the other night it said it suppotered the Vision: M and now it just says the Vision.
I've also found this, The Player Dock http://us.creative.com/products/prod...5&nav=features
But would it be compatible with the wireless remote?
It's so hard being a creative customer, There aren't any worth while accessories yet.
Anyway, if anyone could help me that would be great.

Hi There,?I just bought my Zen Vision M yesterday and so far I'm very happy with it. I had a Toshiba Gigabeat S30 first but the battery was horrid (seems to be very close to the Zune in design and features etc)?then I swapped for an 80GB Ipod video but there is a massi've problem with the EQ settings wanting to clip passed the digital headroom (google "ipod distortion")?Got The Creative Zen Vision M and I can say the following so far:?The sound output is strong and powers my $200 Sony in ear headphones with clean power even with bass all the way up. It's got a custom 5 band graphic EQ which works well to customise the sound to how you want it (I hate the standard MP3 EQ options of most players)?The sound quality is Very Very Good. (I'm a Hi-Fi freak and a competent home recording engineer)?I can see the screen easily even on a hot bright sunny day outdoors on 50% brightness (Very useful)?I have a couple of MP3's that were converted from WMA's and on some players they dont play but the Creative plays them fine. The use interface is easy to navigate but not quite as good as the Toshiba Gigabeat but looks nicer. The FM radio is great sounding aswell which is a bonus and you can custom name the stations. You can set photos as wallpaper and it comes with 6 player skins to customise the look. Battery seems pretty good. when its not locked the screen goes dimmer instead of turning off completely but the battery still seems to last ok. (if you lock it though it will last even longer.)?I haven't found anything bad about it yet. Toshiba Gigabeat S30? 5/0Apple Ipod Video 80GB? 2/0Creative Zen Vision M?? 0/0 so far?hope this helped.
