Zen Vision M Release d

When is it going to be released, and where can I buy it from? I thought it was already released, but I'm not sure...

Schwingrocker, I haven't been able to find any colors other than black. The other four colors are available for preorder on Amazon.com, and it says they haven't been released yet, but it doesn't give a date. My guess would be a couple months, but again that's just a guess. I emailed customer service about it yesterday, so if I get a reply on it I'll be sure to let you know.

im awaiting its arrival as well. i just read today that it will be around $380 and be thinner then the 30 gb version... its supposedly going to be out near the end of this month for the us.

Zen Vision:M release questi

Does anyone know when this mp3 player will be released. I pre ordered it on amazon.com but on the site it shows that 2 other stores are selling it. but not amazon.com. Does anyone know why?

Even i wanted to know the same thing.. I'm facing troubles with my Vision M's display. Just bought it a month ago. I'll soon request the RMA to have it repaired/replaced. If my player is found to have technical glitches then will i be eligible for a replacement...and if yes will it be with a new player or will it be some earlier returned and repaired product...

Problems Please help...zen vision

I have an Creative Zen vision and installed it and the computer detect it but I cant install it because the computer cant find the drivers? and I have sp2 and windows media player 0... HELP!!

I also am having this issue. Where I have installed the software for the M and after doing so I plug it in and get the Driver installation that fails to find drivers. If I try to open the creative explorer or the firmware upgrade released yesterday both say no device attached.

Zen Vision M Managing Active Selected Mu

I really like the Zen vision...with on exception: the inability to manage acti've Playlists and expand contract...selected music.
This is my fourth Creative MP3 player and the Zen Jukebox had a MUCH better music management system. You could expand/contract acti've playlists....move between playlists add edit selected music MUCH easier.
This has got to be an EASY fix for Creative to do...as they have the code from previous releases!
Creative please help! This is a great product and the fix has got to be an easy one for you all to put out.
Thanks from a loyal customer.

It could still be related to a file (or several). If a file is "damaged", sometimes it can still play on a PC, but a portable player may be more sensiti've to this and won't play it. Do you have to skip any songs to play it's Can you try ripping a new album from a CD, and trying to play that (random, in a loop)?
It may help to reload or update the firmware, in case there is a small glitch. Also run the Clean Up in Recovery Mode.

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

Replaced Zen Vision:M 30gb with same ~ Is it necessary to uninstall/remove original progra

So my Zen Vision:M 30 GB crashed and died a horrible death recently. I made the HUGE mistake of not holding onto my original receipt (duh) so even though it falls under warranty, I can't prove it. OK, that's my bad. I loved my Zen while it was working well so I decided to get another one. I really wanted the 60 GB but Creative Customer Support told me in no uncertain terms that the slimmer version would not be released in the US soon or, possibly, ever. (What's up with that ) So I just want to go back to my happy place with my music. I'm ready to get all set up with my new player. BUT ~ do I need to remove all programs related to Creative and reinstall with the new CD provided with my new Zen It would make sense to do so, I suppose. Start from scratch. But I see four programs listed as Creative in my computer. They are:Creative MediaSourceCreative Removable Disk ManagerCreative System InformationCreative Zen Vision M Will I create a problem by removing all four Is there another program I'm not thinking of that should be removed I rolled back to WMP 0 because I read of so many problems with updating firmware and WMP . Now I read there's a fix in WMP and it's OK to reinstall. Anybody want to speak to that Should I dowload firmware right away So many questions... I just really want to get it right this time and enjoy my Zen life once again. Thanks!AFH

If I would have to venture a guess I would assume that there is an IRQ/Interrupt problem going on with your USB controller on your system.
This can can happen due to the system sharing the IRQ that the USB ports are on with other devices, or sometimes be the result of having an older USB driver or an older driver on a device that shares the IRQ with the USB ports.
Going to a slower hub is most likely slowing down the IRQ request rate (due to slower data rate) which keeps the system from becomming unstable. You might want to check out this thread here for some hints on things to try.
The gentleman in that thread was getting "blue screens" and reboots but its most likely the same basic type of problem.http://forums.creative.com/creativel...uery.id=490850

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

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.

When can we expect the next 'Zen Vision:

The title explains itself. I've had my black Zen Vision: M (30GB) since February and it's almost coming up on its 2 year... I've been waiting for any word on another line from Creative. Would anyone know anything about 'em Perhaps when Creative may at least announce something at some convention What and when I can't wait. I'm in need for a successor to my Zen Vision: M. Thanks in advance, guys.

This is the successor: the Creative Zen (http://us.creative.com/products/prod...4&product=6999) They're definitely coming out with the 32 GB version of it as well. I even confirmed it today when I called them asking about it. But I got the standard "we don't know when it will be released yet". It should be soon though because the Spec page lists it already (and the 8GB one is noticably missing there) I'm still holding off on this one though because I haven't heard if it definitely supports Rhapsody To Go yet, and no one from Creative seems to respond to my questions regarding it. I keep getting a lot of "it should", but no one really knows. Anyway, hope that hel
ps.

Should i buy zen vision: m now or wa

till a newer player to be out? i'm a bit put off by the thickness and weight of the player. but.. i really love the player and its interface. so.. does anyone know whether creative will release a player along the likes of zen vision: m but that is thinner and lighter?

I tried "reset", didn't help!! The player still enters recover mode after resetting.
before entering recovery mode, it displays a message like "firmware problem" quickly.
BTW, recover mode is mentioned on page 27 of user manual.
Normally, a player enters normal operation mode. recover mode is for tasks like
firmware upgrade, format etc.
to manually enter recover mode, slide and hold power switch to "on", at the same time press the reset hole.

[size="">This update resolves compatibility issues between Creative Media Explorer or Creative MediaSource? Player/Organizer, and Windows Media? Player (WMP). For more details, read the rest of this web release note.
This update has rectified the problem for me If these steps do not work for you try looking for the download direct by doing the following
Support (You will see this near the top of your screen in the orange bar)
2 Downloads (Follow the steps to select the product YOU have)
3 Select YOUR Language and YOUR Operating System, leave file types set to All

I have the latest Firmware installed (found it easiest to do using the Software AutoUpdate section of the website) even installed with WMP on my pc.
Also I updated my creative media explorer, which allowed me to convert more video files from the same place. I found this really usefull.
I have?NOT had the problem of my player not being recognised when connected to my pc and unfortunately I do not know how to solve that problem, sorry, hope some one else can help you with that.

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 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.

Cannot Paste? ZEN Vision M Series Media Explo

Has anyone else been able to move a file from within the Vision M, using media explorer. I cannot drag and drop, cut / paste nor right click cut / paste to move a file from one folder to another. This is with ZEN Vision M Series Media Explorer 5.2.06 on XP (SP). Our IT guys have disabled? Windows Media?Player installation, but I don't use that on the laptop anyway?It acts like it's about to cut the file(s) (the files become highlighted / faded). Can't paste to save my life.

Maybe I need to Clarify. I want to move a few individual files from one folder in the zen to a different folder in the zen.When I start the process, I begin by cutting the file(s). So far so good. The file(s) selected change color and fade out like you would normally expect.Now I double click, select and open the folder I'm trying to move the file into. If I right click or try to select Paste, it's grayed out.
Instead of cutting/pasting, have you tried drag and drop?
I just highlight the files I want by left clicking [using the Ctrl or Shift keys to select more than file] and while keeping the left mouse button depressed, 'drag' the files to where I want.
Releasing the left mouse button completes the transfer.
