Zen Vision M flick scroll like new Ipho

I have been out of the loop for a while, just wondering if any firmware updates for the Vision M allow you to flick/scroll the pad to move from artist to artist like the iphone ?

no there isn't any such firmware.

Zen:Vision M Album scroll

Can I play everything by an artist without having to scroll back to each individual album?I find it frustrating to have to scroll back and then play the next album...guess I am asking...Can I just do a continuous play of an artist?Thanks...

I have a zen micro and on it, I just press play on the artist name and it plays the artist's songs (all of them from all of the albums). I know there's an artist section on the menu, so try doing that. just select artist, select the one you want to play, and press play or the menu button and 'play all'

ZEN VISION:M What happened to the Album art???/What do you use to transf

I've had my zen vision m since last summer and absolutely love it. Recently though I reformatted and added my entire library with the zen vision m media explorer like I always do. I have always tagged my music with musicmatch jukebox so that the album art shows up on my zen. This time however there is no album art. What's going on, is it the new firmware?
How do the rest of you add your tracks? There's at least fi've different ways I've discovered to do it, but in the past the media explorer was always the best.

Hi,
I think you're in fullscreen mode. Press F11 to turn it off/on.

Zen Vision M VS Video Ipod

<SPAN class=postbody>I've been wondering what the lucky ones that already have bought a Zen Vision M think of it ?I got to upgrade my Ipod Photo and was wondering if i should either go for the Ipod Video or Zen Vision M. Both look like they are good players and i've purchased quite a few models from Creative but resorted to go with the ipod cause size does matter to me plus I must say the interface from what my ZEN NX was a fabulous upgrade. But now I wonder if i should jump back with Creative. I know the ZEN NX is outdated and wanted to know how the new model compared to the 5G Ipod. I understand that few already have one in their hands so I thought this would be the best place to ask.
<SPAN class=postbody>I've looked alot on the net for comparaison websites and i've found so far just one here that gives a Ipod 5G VS Creative Zen Vision M review. Anyone got another more complete website perhaps ? Or perhaps one of you first hand tried both ?Would love to have an honest and unbiased advice.thanks!

Well, if size is important to you, then the iPod 30GB is your best choice. The new 30GB iPod is less than half an inch thick, which makes the Zen Vision: M nearly twice as thick. The 60GB iPod is only as thick as the iPod mini was.
The Zen Vision: M claims twice as much battery life for video as the 30GB iPod, using 500kbps MPEG-4. Apple's battery life rating is based on H.264 video encoded at 768kbps for video and 28kbps audio. That's nearly 900kb
ps.
Apple always bases their battery life claims off of what they sell at the iTunes Music Store, and that is what the video they sell is encoded at.
The iPod DOES support H.264 video. The Zen Vision: M does not. This means that you can get a video down to about 480kbps (384 video 96 audio). Go here http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ and test it out for yourself. Video at that bitrate looks fantastic. Much much much better than WMV, divx/xvid, or standard MPEG-4 at that bitrate. You can get the same quality as xvid/divx, or MPEG-4 at half the bitrate with H.264. WMV is just too bad to even look at when talking about those bitrates.
Get the iPod. Use H.264, get better image quality or the same image quality at lower bitrates with longer battery life. Get a smaller player. Be happy.

Dido, i just purchased my zen vision m a few hours ago, installed all the necessary software and when I click the media explorer a message at the top states "Your player is not connected. Please connect your Zen Vision:M to the computer. The wire and the zen are both fine and is currently charging, if there is no imediate way to fix this can someone tell me an alternate way to send files to the zen, it is urgent.

Zen Vision:m content lost after upda

Hi,
I've always owned a Zen Xtra. When there were some firmware updates, their always was a warning that your data would be erased in the release notes.
Now I've got a Zen Vision:m.
Today a new firmware was released, but nowhere on the site I saw this warning.
Is it still so that you loose all your music when you do the update?
Thanks,
Jack

I updated mine this morning and I didn't loose anything.

Replacing a Zen Vision M Face pla

hi guys, i was wondering if maybe a creative rep could answer this for me, i have a Zen Vision M which is like month old. Id like to replace the black face plate with a white one. Is there a way i could pay for this at a creative center or something?
the black face plate is being scratched wayyy to much and the funny thing is its in Silicon case..

I am not sure if they can replace the face plate with a white one but you can contact Customer Support in your respecti've region either by telephone or e-mail to see if they can help you with this.

Zen Vision or new ip

I'm thinking about getting a new mp3 player and I'm trying to choose between a Zen player or a new ipod classic 80GB. It looks like the closest comparable Zen is the Zen Vision:M 30 GB (there's also a 60GB, but I can't find any new ones in stock). The vision:M retails for about $250 and so does the new ipod classic. The vision:M looks like it's almost 2 years old, it has less than half the memory of the new ipod, and its the same price. There's also the Vision:W 60GB which retails for about $366. It looks like it has a nice big screen, but it has 20GB less memory than the ipod and sells for more than $00 more than the ipod. Plus it looks like its about a year old. Does anyone think Creative is about to come out with a new, more competiti've, full size media/mp3 player? Creative's biggest advantage in the past was that the Zen players cost significantly less than the ipods, but it doesn't look that way right now. Should I hold out for something new from Creative?

I suppose it depends on how much you are going to store on your player. The reason you won't find the ZVM 60gb is that it's been discontinued (as has the 30gb version) so when stocks run out, you won't be able to buy one. The W is about a year old and both the ZVM and the ZVW will be replaced with the new Zen. While the new Zen looks fantastic, it uses flash-based memory, which limits it's memory to 6gb. I feel that Creative will have to release a new player with a larger capacity, unless the general media rumours are true and Creative really have conceeded the larger capacity player market to Apple and the iPod classic. Another purchase consideration is using the iPod - do you really want to use the processer power-eating iTunes and be limited to buying music from iTunes

Jammin72, don't forget that it is the Apple iPod which has "copied" Creative Zen's style of navigation of tracks in the player. Creative has a patent on this, even before Apple released its product.
True... There will always be some level of imitation of successful implementations of products but even then the iPod was forward thinking in it's design of the player.
I think Creative did a nice job with going with the Touch Pad interface and player add-ons as well as allowing the unit to work with more 3rd Party software.
This phsical and functional design change away from thier own stylistic vision to one that is obviously an iPod clone is just a bit dissapointing. Gi've us a NEW player on that is distincti've in it's own right, not one that's closer to what already exists. I would have much rather the unit look like the Zen or a large Micro and offer these features. I mean c'mon you replace the touch pad with a click wheel and from the front you would never know it's from a different company.
PS... That's not to say that I wouldn't be all over it when they come out with a 60 or 80 Gig model. Message Edited by Jammin72 on 2-08-2005 05:8 PM

New zen vision m mod

Just wondering if a new zen vision m model will be coming out soon? I know it has been out for a while and I am looking at buying the zen vision m but not sure if i should wait.

I tried the Zen Vision and I really liked it. It is basically a horizonal MP3 Player vs the Parallel type MP3 players like the Zen Vision:M. The buttons are fantastic, much, much better than the touch pad on the ZV:M. The display is 3.7" and the text information is very, very crisp and easy to read. However, I did find it a bit darker than the ZV:M. It is translucent, which means that like the iPod you can actually see what is on the screen with the light in the room or outdoors without using the backlight. The ZV:M is just totally dark and you can't see anything on it without the backlight.
There are a few things missing from the ZV, which are found on the ZV:M. Ability to protect and hide folders. 2 colors for backgrounds, but no ability to set a picture as a background/wallpaper. ZV:M has 5 backgrounds and allows you to set any picture you want as a background. ZV: backlight is either on or off. There is no fade down to 0% like on the ZV:M
Advantages of the ZV, user replaceable battery, you can also buy an extended battery, which increases run time by almost double. The port on the side that allows you to download pictures directly within the unit itself. It's pretty sweet, I test it out and I found it worked good. It's a bit slow on larger pictures though. But if you use smaller resolution generally its okay.
Gi'ven what you are wanting, I'd say you really should consider the ZV. It is available in black or white. I got the black one and its kind of a corragated black, so it doesn't show finger prints. However, after getting the black one, I really wish I had gotten the white one. What can I say, I like white.
Good Luck!

Zen vision:M-doesnt turn on for more than a second, second brand new player that isnt worki

Hello hello.
Just bought a Zen vision:M and I just cant get it working. After troubleshooting for countless hours I finally came to the conclusion that the thing just wasnt charging properly, took it to my retailer, and instantly got a new one. Now this one is exibiting the exact same problem!
Only thing I have done is charge the player overnight with a usb power adaptor (the kind that plugs into a wall socket), then plugging it into my computer, which has all the nessecarry software properly installed already. I get a message saying windows found my new player and would like to install a driver, but it cannot find a driver on the CD or wherever windows normally finds its drivers...
Now i've had it charging in the computers front and back usb ports for hours, and when I attemt to switch it on, I get the creative logo for about 2 seconds, and then nothing, the player just turns off and starts blinking the charging sign in the upper right corner again. ZEN Vision M Series Media Explorer doesnt find the player either.]
What could I be doing wrong? It seems so hugely improbable that I got 2 faulty players in a row!
p.s. Im using japanese windows xp media center edition with sp2.

Anybody?

Will my old wall charger for Zen Vision:M will work with the (New) Z

i bought a wall charger from amazon for my Zen Vision: M 30GB, will it work with the (New)Zen? i just bought the Zen 6 GB and it doesn't comes with an adapter, pretty bad move there, well, does it has the same plug? i hope it's compatible. thanks

sebastiankf,
That third party adapter from your Amazon link is hard wired specifically for the Vision:M and will not work with any other Creative player unless it has the same pin-outs using the same docking interface. The Creative AC-5V adapters will either have a coaxial power plug connection that will work with most of the Creative hard disk based players, except for the original NJB and Zen Micro, or a USB Mini-B plug that will work with all of the flash players that have a USB connection and the Zen Micro.

Zen vision:M Need new outfit. Screen dam

Well i use my Zen vision:M every day. and that protecting thing slip off.. So now the vision in videos is pretty bad.. because screen damage.. can i Buy new outfit to my Zen some where?!
ps: Sorry, Bad english..

Valu,
When you say screen damage, do you mean that the screen is scratched?
If you are looking for screen protection, there's one in the online store.

New Zen Vision:M Intermittent Audio Dropo

I have a new Zen Vision:M which has started to exhibit audio dropouts. The player will be working fine, but then without warning, the audio will drop out in one or both earpieces. I can see from the screen that the player is still operating, but the audio has failed. Turning the player on and off two or three times will restore the audio, allowing the earphones and their connection to the player to be ruled out as the source of the problem.
If anyone else has experienced this problem and solved it, please let me know.
Thanks very much.
Sincerely,
Ron

Have you tried switching head phones. That may be the issue.
