Zen Xtra 30 Gig - No longer possible to shuffle within playlists after latest firmware upd

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. After surviving the Windows Media Player /firmware update nightmare, my Zen Xtra 30 gig now will not shuffle within a playlist. Instead, when I select a playlist in shuffle mode, it shuffles through ALL the playlists. Any idea how to fix this?Thanks!

Same here! Are they going to fix this, or is there a workaround? I was thinking about killing it and going back to the older software...

  • Nano - Shuffle within Playlist?

    I've had my Nano for a couple of days now and absolutely love it, anyway I do have one question I'm sure someone will be able to answer...
    Is it possible to shuffle songs within a certain playlist?
    I know you can shuffle by song or album which is fine but ideally I'd want to have say a playlist dedicated to easy listening/for music for the gym or whatever and be able to randomise the songs within that playlist only.
    It doesn't look possible at the moment but I'd thought I'd post just incase anyone knows otherwise!
    Cheers

    Hi Mitzi,
    To shuffle within a playlist, try the following:
    - In 'Settings', select 'Shuffle' and you'll see that you can set it to 'Off', 'Songs' and 'Albums'
    - Change Shuffle to 'Songs'
    - Go to any playlist and select a song
    - When the song is playing, you will see the shuffle icon above the song name
    - The nano will stay in that playlist and shuffle the songs
    Have fun! (I sure am!)
    Regards,
    David

  • After latest firmware update, AppleTV2 no longer sends signal

    So I updated my AppleTV2 with the latest firmware, and now it no longer sends a signal out.
    Has Apple stated when they're going to fix this?

    MicroUSB cable doesn't fit in AppleTV2. Try again.
    Edit: Apparently the MicroUSB cable I was trying to use wasn't 'micro' enough.
    I'm now trying again with a MicroUSB cable used to recharge my Xbox 360 wireless headset. Heh... the irony is amusing.

    Secondly I would like to say that updating any driver doesn't help a thing, which is confirmed by all the reactions on the helpful tips .
    I think APPLE should face the fact that their last update of iTunes is the source of all the problems and that they should solve it themselves.
    If a solution lasts to long I'm sure more and more users will loose faith with a possible disastrous result for APPLE.
    So, please, we all beg you.

  • Is it possible to Shuffle a Playlist?

    I created a smart Playlist and, as far as I can tell from the iPod menu, it looks like it will play in the same order every time. Say it ain't so.
    iMac Intel 20"; 512MB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   G5 iPod

    Now you're being silly: every fool knows the Zz3rw05 iPod was made solely for the North Korean market, a country whose borders are so impermeable that not a single one of these babies has ever been documented in the wider world.
    Why did I post in the iTunes section? Well, I'd looked at both my iPod and iTunes settings, found nothing obvious and then effectively tossed a coin on where to post. I don't think it was that bad a call considering I got a swift, accurate answer courtesy of yourself.
    Finally, in plumping for "G5" I was following the same convention that compresses Second World War to WW2. Still, I confess I forgot about the G5 processor. You're right, it does look ignorant, so I've retagged my beloved iPod in your honour.

  • ZEN XTRA - no repeat shuffle

    I have the 30 gig Zen xtra and would like to use shuffle mode without repeating songs i.e. the shuffle once mode but it seems that this is not an option. As a result, I hear the same songs within the same playlist multiple times. Any thoughts, answers, suggestions? Is the "shuffle once" mode possible? If so, how?

    I could be wrong (my wife says I frequently am), but I do not believe you will repeats in shuffle mode either. You can re-shuffle the list by pressing play 3 times quickly, but unless you do that, I think it simply plays the songs once in a random order.

  • Zen Xtra fails PlaysForSure Firmware update - Now it won't install a firmw

    Zen Xtra 40 - Was upgrading from .30 firmware to 2.0.03 to support WMP and VistaFirmware Upgrade to Failed to Complete
    Downloaded and ran PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03
    It identified my Zen Xtra and started the upgrade, Zen Xtra rebooted and just sat there. 2 hours later I disconnected Zen Xtra and its in Recovery Menu. Reboot says Firmware Problem and goes to the recovery menu again.
    If I plug it back into my system it says it found a 20mb 'Portable Device' MTP and lets me open the device but nothing is on the 20mb partition.
    If I run PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 again it says I must plug in the device, even though its definitely plugged in and recognized as an MTP device.
    Seems like the PlaysForSure Firmware 2.0.03 isn't designed to identify the device after a partial upgrade? Tried older .30 Firmware install program, it can't identify the device either. Device shows up in Device Manager as Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra using a Microsoft Driver.
    I've installed the latest JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US_2_0_00.exe drivers and it does not help. Device still detects as a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. If I uninstall Windows Media Player it won't install any drivers and won't accept the PCW Driver either.
    Where can I get a firmware updater that will function when my Zen Xtra wants to be an MTP device?I tried another computer with WM9, just PCWDRV 2.0 drivers, and it will not detect and install the drivers when I plug the device in. Says it can't find suiteable drivers for this device.
    Tried Cleanup, Reload OS, Reboot.
    Boot v.4 and HW v0.0. Any ideas?

    Wow after searching hundreds of documents on this forum I got my firmware updated
    !!! I took my notebook, which I had recently upgraded from WMP9 to WMP after I could not get it to recognize and upgrade my Zen. I uninstalled WMPI uninstalled WMP RuntimeRebootedI went to Microsoft and get WMP0 specificallyInstalled it and closed itI ran the ZenXtraPS4Audible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exeOn the Zen I selected Reload OS, I click to have it reload OS, while it was doing that I plugged it into the notebook. The Firmware Tool Detected the Device again!!Current version 2.0.03Upgrade will be 2.0.03I click Upgrade!?It upgraded this time!!?The bummer is ALL MY MUSIC is wiped off my device. I didn't format it, but I guess the upgrade does it for you. Which means I just lost hundreds of dollars worth of songs since WMP doesn't have a license transfer and all my music was on the ZEN. So even though I have the files on my computer, they won't play because I don't have the license any longer.

  • Help with Zen Xtra not connect

    Hi,
    I have read all of the FAQs and posts reguarding this problem and I just can't seem to get this to work. I have a Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 40GB mp3 player. I downloaded and installed the playsforsure firmware yesterday so the mp3 player would be compatible with my Xbox 360. I moved all of my songs from the player to the Creative Mediasource PC music library before the install (sadly, I lost all of the music the Zen cam with). Well, after I installed this firmware, and I plug the Zen Xtra into the computer with the USB cable, it doesn't register that it is connected. For example, when I open the Creative Mediasource PC music library it doesnt have the Zen Xtra listed like it used to, so I cannot put any files back onto the mp3 player, also the Nomad explorer has the Zen listed as "not connected" and same with the Zen Xtra Media Explorer. I then downloaded a new playsforsure plugin for Creative media source and the most updated driver. Still noting... I tried going into device manager, it recognizes the portable media device without any problem, so its not the USB or the computer, its that its not connecting with Creative Media Source, Nomad Explorer or Zen Xtra Media Explorer. I clicked the driver, followed all those steps that were listed in one of the posts on this forum and installed the MTP device. It actually connected this time and I started moving my music back onto the player. Well, I accidently "x'ed" out the program and I went to Creative Media Source again but its not registering the device again. I retried instaling the MTP device again and it didn't work this time. I restarted the computer and tried again but I cannot get this Zen connected anymore. I have never, ever had a problem like this before with my Zen until I got this firmware. Please, if anyone knows what I am doing wrong, please help. Thanks.
    --Frank

    I believe you are not holding it down long enough----- I think in the manual it says to hold it down until rescue mode comes up..... it took a long tome for mine to come up when i did it
    If holding it longer doesnt help, thats all i got

  • Zen Xtra Backlight doesn't turn off, OS free

    A problem started today where my 40gb Zen Xtra can no longer get past the EAX screen, and stays lit the entire time. I'm unable to turn it off except by removing the battery, and as soon as I put the battery back in, it automatically turns back on and freezes again. I reset, then I went to recovery mode and cleaned up the OS, but the same problem persists.
    I notice that at some point from the time the player turns on to the time it freezes, I feel my hard dri've stop vibrating, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
    Any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks!

    my zen xtra has done the same thing. it wont turn off. it wont go any further. i have gone to the rescue mode and tried all the options except reloading the os because i am afriad then i wont even have a os since it wont connect to my computer thru USB either. this is the second time i have had a major problem with it. the first time it completely failed on me and went to rescue mode everytime i turned it on. i eventually had to get a rma for it because the hard dri've had failed completely. will i need to do that again cause i have looked at every piece of advice available and nothing has helped.
