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 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 30GB - Music Capacity Quest

Re. http://www.creative.com/products/pro...4&product=2985?I would want to store as much music?as possible. Can I use the entire 30 GB for MP3 files or is the player partitioned for music, video, and pictures thus limiting the space that can be used for each file type. Thanks. AZ

It is not seperated or partitioned for certain files, you can use the space whichever way you want, if you want to put only music on it, you can do that.

Zen Vision M 30gb, used to be able to download music from I tunes, can't now, need he

I had another computer with I tunes loaded, also used Zen vision M on it along with I Pod, new computer has both products downloaded on it, but for some reason it wont recognize the Zen or let me download music from the i tunes library like i used to. also this computer uses windows vista. Can anyone help

So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version). They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder. You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
I can't think of any other way to get it back...
NOTE: An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1. If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
I use an even older iPhone (original). I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer. When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone.

Help With Zen Vision:M 30G, lost alot of music, "rebuilding" progress bar doesnt fin

I purchased my Zen Vision:M 30GB player about 5 months ago and its been great untill today I turned it on and it froze, so i hit the reset button.
Heres the thingI reset it and that "Rebuilding" progress bar poped up like it has in the past when i hit reset?But this time the progress bar only got about? /6th of the way full, before the unit returned to its normal menu, and i went to look at my music and about 90% of it is gone! Ive done a restart in the past and the rebuilding progress bar would have to fill up all the way before it would go to the normal menu and i had no problems with it then, just today it started doing the thing where it would only go /6th the way. Heres the weird stuff,I went to look at the system information to look how much memory was left and based on the numbers, my 90% of missing music should still be on there somewhere. I tried connecting it to my computer and all the sudden now my computer decides to recognize it but The Creative Media Explorer will say its not connected, that is a first for me too?I tried doing that system recovery thing, where i did the scan disk but that did not help at all. Everytime i try to re-boot or re-start it does that thing where the "Rebuilding" progress bar only goes /6th of the way before it goes back to the normal menu, i think that has somthing to do with it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated?Message Edited by Lowalkoroc on 03-7-20070:20 PM

I was just about to post a topic about this. I had the same problem and after numerous efforts I decided to follow the "Format (All)" instructions [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=5530#M5530">here[/url]. After a reformat, a reboot, and a reload of all my songs everything is working again. Thank the Lord and the Creative forums.

Can't transfer music onto Zen Vision:M

I've had my Creative Zen Vision:M for a year and bought it secondhand. Recently I upgraded my computer to Ubuntu Netbook Remix 0.04, but now whenever I open up Rhythmbox or Gnomad2 with the device docked they close down seconds after loading. This means I can't transfer music onto it. Away from the computer it works fine - I can access all the different menus and sections. I've tried formatting, cleaning up and reinstalling the firmware (using another, Windows, computer), but nothing works. Is there anything else I can do to fix it's
Thanks in advance,
Courtney

if when you see the music as shown on your computer contains a dot next to the song/artist, it means that it has not yet successfully transferrred over, outside of your computer. Some questions to consider: what is the format of the music you are trying to import? are you running this most updated version of itunes/ipod on your comp.?

Brand New to Creative Zen Vision M - Basic Query Re Music Playback

Hi - bought this MP3 player 2nd hand having seen good reviews. I'm really a Samsung devotee, but couldn't seem to find anything from them in the 30gb range and my 8gb was getting too restrictive (I vaguely remember something about a court case with Apple ... did they stop them from making/selling new MP3 players, or something?). Anyway - now with a CZ and trying to get to grips with basic functions all over again (I'm nearly 50 and a female with no kids to quiz on this kind of thing - it's tough, but I'm getting there!). What I'm particularly keen to do are two things: 1) select a whole album to play, either in sequence or random tracks, and 2) select an artist and set the player to randomly play only their stuff from all the available tracks stored. These things were so simple to do with both the Samsungs I've had, but I'm completely stumped with my CZ (and, yes, I've read the downloadable manual). Hoping these things are possible ...

O God - 16 views so far and no one can answer? Doesn't bode well. Anyone want to buy a boxed Creative Zen Vision M in very good nick?

MediaSource Recognition Problem? (Zen Vision:

OK, I had a Zen 20GB for the last year and I loved it to bits. Worked great, but just before Christmas it fell in some water and died . I replaced it with a 60GB Zen Vision:M and didn't mind too much because I had less than GB of space left and would have had to replace it soon anyway.
Now onto my question. With my Zen 20GB when I used Media Source (I think v.3 came with it but I can't remember) it would let me search my Zen and edit tracks in it. The search function was IMO fantastic, especially with a music collection as large as mine. Now when I connect my ZV:M it connects fine. I've transferred plenty of music without bother using Windows Media Player.
However, when I open Media Source (both v.3 and v.5) it doesn't give me any option to explore my Zen like it did when I had my 20GB. I can still explore it using the Zen Explorer, but since this doesn't let you edit the properties for several tracks at a time I find it very frustrating.
Also, if I chose to "Transfer Music", "Transfer Playlist" or "Sync Music" in Media Source I get the message "No Creative mp3 player is detected. Please connect your mp3 player and try again."
Now, I know it's connected since I can explore the contents fine in Zen Explorer and I can transfer to it using WMP. Is there something I haven't installed correctly that is stopping Media Source from recognising my player? It just seems strange since it seems to be the only application not working for it.
Thanks for the help (and sorry if this has been covered else where. I searched but couldn't find anything).

You must also download and install the corresponding MediaSource plugin for your MP3 player in order for MediaSource 5 to detect your MP3 player.

Creative Zen Vision: M 30 gb - DRM information corrupt or missing.....???????

So I just started having this problem yesterday but it seem I'm the only ever to have it. I've scanned every page I can and can't find a solution. Yesterday I started playing my music then all of the sudden it stopped. Granted I was having problems before even though I just got this unit a month..........! I sent an email and still haven't received a response.
Here's the problem. While listening to my music yesterday I encountered a message saying - Playback Error. This error persisted after changing the track. After going home and reformatting, reinstalling firmware, downgrading -> upgrading firmware, reformatting over and over and over again, disk clean up, system restore, reboots, default restore, reformatting, again reformatting, deleting every piece of information I could delete...... you might be getting the picture so far.... After doing all of this I was unable to download tracks again onto my MP3 player. The only ones I can upload are unprotected content. I got thinking maybe there is a problem in my DRM file..... Where is my DRM file on the MP3 player and how do I delete it's You can't. At least not what I found. So again I tried everything over and over again and nothing works. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out. I have a 30gb Creative Zen Vision: M player, Windows XP/Vista 64, Napster ToGo and now I can't use my MP3. This unit is a month old and I cannot use it. PLEASE HELP ME. This is very long winded but I'm hoping this will help a little. Thanks in advance, I'm going insane without my music.

Well I have never used a service like that. That's all I can think of off hand.

There's video problems with my Zen Vision:M already (M video cable related) Please help

Some background...
System:Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Player: Brand new Creative Zen Vision: M with no firmware updates.
My Zen Vision:M has a problem (besides the scratch and fingerprint attracting top surface): It won't play videos on a TV screen when the M Video Cable (also from Creative) is linked to it anymore. It's only been a few hours...
I had the cable already, and got the player today. I let the player charge to /4th of a battery while I was setting up all the software. I ran the software programs just to take a peek, only changing the name of my player (to my name). I used Winamp 5.3 to put a music track on the player to test it. After that, I hooked it up to the VCR in my room through the white and yellow A/V plugs in front. It worked just fine. It to the tv a little large, but I was okay with it.
Later on today, the new AC charger I ordered came in the mail (Player came through UPS, charger through USPS). I looked at my old charger (Creative Zen Touch) and realized it would work with the plug-in part of the sync unit at the bottom. I tested it for a minute and it did. I still took it out and tried the new one. This is where, I think, something happened. I had to press the sides to get the thing in, and it was hard to come out. Everything still fit just right, and nothing seemed to be wrong. I used my old charger as I added more of my music library. Now it was on to videos. I had to convert the first two test vids (they were .wmv), but they played on my player fine. I put a bigger .wmv file onto the player to see if it had to convert it, and it did. It still played on the player. When I go to hook it to the TV with the A/V cord again, there was nothing but a black screen with the occasional diagonal scan line. The sound is still there.
Besides quirks with the navigational system, the player is still great for music and video. Still, I needed no video capability, and one of the things that made the ZVM a buy for me was watching my vids on the big screen. I'd return this for a second try, but I want to know if this is a recurring issue with you guys and if there's something I can do to fix it before a return. Did I mess with a setting? Should I get new firmware? Did I do wrong using my old charger? If any of you have an answer, or need more info on my situation, please let me know.
And BTW, does anyone know of some better software for organizing files on the ZVM? I used Winamp for my Zen Touch and the music on my ZVM, but videos are another ballpark. I can't transfer a video from one folder to another folder (assuming both folders are on the ZVM). Not to mention the music I transferred using Winamp isn't even showing up in Windows Media Player. I think I need a different program altogether.

I have got a new Creative Zen Vision W and getting the same problem....when i attach to the tv then i am able to hear the audio content and the video does not show.Are we missing something ? or is it a problem with the player. Also the software provided with the Zen converts small .vob files to .wmv when ever the size is large it gives an error 'conversion?unsucessful'.Any body facing similar problems please help.

Zen Vision M & Creative Organise

I updated my Zen Touch to a Zen Vision M last summer and successfully transferred my tracks (sort of) but I am having problems with the new, updated Creative Organiser?5.
In the previous version I was using, I could manipulate the information on my Zen DIRECTLY, "seeing" the device and the information in exactly the same way as if it were in my computer library and I was able to alter a?WHOLE?album at a time of information eg I had a double album that automatically ripped with the artist's name spelt slightly differently for each disc, thereby creating a whole?DIFFERENT album!?to put it right, I would highlight all of the tracks of one album and change one entry of the artist's name and they would all change.
In the current version of organiser, I can change the Album Artist, but only one track at a time and as I have made each audio book appear as ONE ALBUM (by laboriously renumbering all the tracks sequentially from disc to disc?as I ripped them - no laughing matter I can assure you!) to change 400 tracks individually isn't something I want to contemplate!
Now with this version, although I can SEE the information on the Zen, I am not able to change anything!
Indeed, Creative Organiser 5 appears to have?many less columns than previous versions and I have noticed some flaws in some of my old recordings of?audiobooks and would like to correct it, but cant as the columns are no longer there to change!? EG Album Artist, Contributing Artist (where I would put for example J K Rowling, Stephen Fry) But now, they only have Album Artist!
Also, GENRE!!!!!!
!!! What has happened to this very useful function?!? Again, in the old version of?Organiser I would highlight and change a whole album to show the same entry, but not only can I NOT seem to VIEW by genre, I cannot see how to alter those that I created in the old version.
I have looked in the Creative Help, but it keeps talking about editing items in the Music Library, NOT on the MP3 player.
If it is not possible to re-create the old functions in the new Creative Organiser 5, does anyone have any suggestions of other Creative-compatible programs I could try? Some time ago I was recommended to MediaMonkey, which I quite liked and indeed, in fact previously I used Microsoft Media Player, which I PREFERRED to Creative Organiser, but neither of those programmes recognise the Zen Vision M!
Any advice, help and general wisdom would be appreciated!!

Well if you are running the same version, the only other possibilities I could think off that might be causing problems are :A)? Bad registry EntriesB) Possibly Bad DLL'sMediasource uses MicrosoftJet/MDAC libraries for maintaining the backend database. Its possible that one of the microsoft MDAC files is bad, corrupt, or the wrong version causing the playlist database inside mediasource to misbehave. You can go to Microsoft site and try downloading and running their MDAC checker utility.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/i...splayLang%3den?(if the above link doesn't work, go to http://download.microsoft.com and search for "mdac checker" and it will show up on the list)?Download and run the checker, and see if it finds any problems with your MDAC installation.My system is running Windows XP SP2 and has MDAC 2.8 SP installed.
The file revisions for most all the MDAC files show as 2.8.7 on my system. At this point am just guessing, but the above is something to try to see if we can figure out what is different between your system and mine.

Zen Vision:M

Hi, I dropped my Zen Vision:M in to the toilet yesterday when I walked in watching a movie (so no, it wasn't in use, thankfully) and it hit the seat then was fully submerged for about second. When I grabbed it out, it wasn't off, but the screen kept flashing and it was making some extremely strange noises like whining, clicking etc. A lot of water came out of it and the noises were quite loud. I tried to turn it off using the power button but it wouldn't, so I put it in a cupboard for the night to try and let it dry out. This morning I looked at it and there was condensation behind the screen, so I left it for another 7-8 hours while I was away at school. I came back and it looked dry, so I plugged it in and turned it on but it still makes the same clicky noises. The LED comes on and it sounds like the hard dri've is trying to work, resulting in the noises. The screen doesn't come on at all.
So what should I do? Should I leave it to dry out more or try charging it up fully, because I thought this might explain why the screen didn't come on.
Also, I know this isn't covered by the warranty so if it does need repairing, and it can be repaired, can someone give me an estimate of how much that would be? I can't really afford another one because I'm a student, and I really liked my Zen while I had it, so if it could be repaired for not too much that would be great.
Thanks for your help in advance.Message Edited by alexgalgut on 09-9-200706:7 PM

When you've left it the two weeks,?when you attach it to your computer, if it is recognised then I suggest you access the recovery utility and re-format your hard-dri've - if any sectors have been damaged by water then the formatting process will mark those sectors as bad and therefore un-usable. I'd then transfer your music across and fully charge the player. If the screen or hard-dri've are damaged and you feel brave then you could buy a replacement lcd screen/hard-dri've from somewhere like eBay and try replacing them yourself (there's instructions online and video tutorials on YouTube showing you how to take your player apart). Creative are very unlikly to repair your player and if they are interested (which I doubt)?then it will?probably be just as cheap to replace the unit. Water has a habit of getting everywhere and damaging components to the point where nothing can be done except buy a new player. Sorry I can't be more positi've, hopefully it'll dry out. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Zen Vision M Hanging Is

I have a new Zen Vision M I picked up in Singapore last week (June , 2006). It seems to hang quite a bit. When this happens it will repeat the last perhaps 6th second of audio over and over....kind of a long stutter and not respond to any buttons. I have had to reset the device using the hole at the bottom. I had to do this several times on the Singapore -> Melbourne flight (6+ hours). In the last week I have had to reset several more times. Once when powering it up it hung. It seems I have to keep a pin taped to the device to regularly reset it. Looking around on this site I see references to this problem happening with Firmware version .2x, but this device came with .30.02 on it when I purchased it. Just in case I tried downloading .30.02 and installing it anyway, but all I get is a message that says: Your player is not connected, please connect your player.
I would love to see this problem go away and I look forward to any suggestions on how to fix it.

I had similar problems with a Zen Vision M purchased less than two weeks ago.
I was running firmware .40.x at the time, so that was not the problem.
I did the Rescue Mode Clean up of the dri've. But the problem recurred. So that was not the problem.
Thinking it might be some form of electronics or hard dri've problem, I just let the player play music continuously trying to exacerbate the problem and get it to reproduce the problem.
After a week of owning it, the player became so wedged that not even a reset would resolve the problem. Literally the unit would not reboot and I had to let the battery completely run out as there was no way to do a hard power reset (i.e. pull the battery).
Last night I returned it to BestBuy and exchanged it for a new unit. So far no problems withn the past 20 hours. (The first unit had some UI sluggishness and non responsi'veness the first day out). While the unit booted fine at the BestBuy exchange department, by the time I was signing the paperwork for the exchange, the technician on duty said the player had hung itself.
I'm letting the player play music continously to see if player was a bum player or of player 2 is part of a manufacturing batch problem.
I like my wife's Creative Zen Microphoto so am disappointed by the experience with this first ZVM and the fact that I only got an automated reply from Creative Customer support and no other responses after 0 days.

Any additional information you have dealing with recording, will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
