Hi ZVM owners,

I just received mine yesterday and I was a happy girl until today...

For some reason my player is no longer being recognised by my laptop. I've read a few discussions around the place and this seems to have happened to a few people but I haven't read any answers that could help me!

What's going on??! I plug it in but nothing appears under My Computer or anywhere else for that matter. I can only seem to charge it atm.

Help. I'm getting maddd.

Hey there,

Can you:

1. Plug in ZVM,
2. Open up Device Manager <== do you see any question marks or exclamation marks?
3. Make sure Windows Media Player is running, recommend to use latest WMP11.

Let us know how it goes...

any new softwares that supports zvm on mac?
its getting frustrating as the XNJB fails to recognize my player MOST OF THE TIME.
i just might let go of my very much loved ZVM for an ipod.
huh.

When I open Device Manager I see an exclamation mark over the Creative Zen Vision:M under Portable Devices. I have tried updating the driver and uninstalling the driver and then reinstalling it but nothing seems to work! My Zen works fine on my boyfriend's computer, I just can't work out what's different!

^^

try to reformat pc?

what' the lowest price for zen vision m at lowyat?

^I think it's RM899 for the 60GB model.

Hi.

I'm interested in Creative Zen Vision W Portable Media Player 60GB.

1 question: How is the maximum volume? I want to let my kit see movie while tarveling in car.

Thanks

hi, jz want to ask what is the cheapest prize for a zen stone ?

Hi, I am interested in getting a price for Zen Vision M. 30Gig and 60Gig. Also which shop is recommended?

Hi, i would like to get a vision m 30 GB. Can anyone tell me the problems that i might have with it as well as its actual price and where to get it ? in KL and damansara areas.
Thanks

I reformat my pc the other day. Now I can't transfer files to my zen. Any help on this issue...

I just got my Zen Vision M 30GB! 2nd hand at RM360. Super condition. Damn happy with it! Flashed it to latest firmware and it's super fast now.

I'm looking forward to buy one. The price I've checked through internet that the Viewnet Computer System at Lowyat sell the ZVM 30GB at about RM 659. I think the price has gone down after several years in the market. Kinda good news for late buyers

Here's the link: http://www.viewnet.com.my/file/Pricelist.pdf

I hope anyone who knows better price around Klang Valley can informs us in this forum

I bought my Creative ZVM today at lowyat. I bought from its authorized seller and it costs me RM699.

Freshly out of box, it already has some scratches on it. DC adapter not provided. USB charging is the only option i got right now. I'm planning to look for 3rd party DC adapter soon. Wonder if there's any

My ZVM play/pause button is stiffer to press than other buttons

I thought that the battery is plain empty when we first bought it. Quite surprising for me when I tried to turn it on while waiting for KTM back home, it's on, the battery is nearly full actually

First I played the music and tried the FM. Just ok. The provided earphone made me straight away thinking about buying a better pair such as Sony MDR EX90LP or the Sennheiser PX200

When i got home and transfered all the music from my laptop to my Zen, it took about more than half than hour. I can not blame the Creative however because I was transferring 11GB of tracks and 1-2GB of pictures into the portable player, huge loads.

Same problem with other users, after I transferred the musics, tried to play it, the progress bar didn't move, and the bars for FM just vanished. Does this problem can be solved by updating the firmware?

Anyway, there's mp3 player recovery tool that freely downloadable from Creative site. Has anyone ever uses it before? Any comments?

Last thing, this ZVM is my first ever portable audio player actually. Never had one before except my FM capable Sony Ericsson mobile phone

dry pillow,
Make a full backup, transfer the whole files into temp storage. Reformat devices, and copy and use couple (2/3 Gigabyte) for while. Make a test 2/3 days with small number of files. Try and evaluate

Oh my God, how can I be so unaware. Everytime I transfering music, I move my whole library music. Didn't thought to do some evaluation with small size files. I'm first timer at this portable audio thingy

Thanks enCORe for the advice

Now I'm struggling with the album art. First I tried with the MediaSource, some pictures in folder did shows up as album art, but some didn't. I'll try next time with WMP 11

Added on April 27, 2008, 9:28 amI bought Phillips SHE8500 yesterday. This also my first canalphone. Initially I was planning to get the Sony MDR EX90LP, but I have never even tried the low end canalphone, so I settle with the cheaper one first. Since this is my first time, I can say it's great to experience about 70% external noise reduction. Also I could hear some instruments I never heard before with my cheap SonicGear headphone. The bass is too much for me however. Thanks to ZVM Custom EQ, I can reduced the bass.

The rest, oh my oh my, I love my ZVM, it sounds equally good with my laptop. Creative Labs i world renown in making great soundcards, therefore her ability in making great sounding portable audio is unquestionable

The EX90LP is RM340 at KLCC SonyStyle, while I bought the SHE8500 at RM85 from All IT branch here in Kajang. They sell many things cheap there, maybe because the branch is newly opened (Sony DVD+R is 99cents per piece only they sell, honestly, while I bought the same Sony DVD+R at Thundermatch Lowyat for RM1.60 each piece)

I think I will go for the EX90LP after my next semester scholarship deposited in, :-)

Does anyone know the EX90LP price at Lowyat?

When we edit the ID3 tag in the computer, then we sync with ZVM, does the songs that already in the ZVM will change also its tag in parallel with the changes we made in the computer?

Added on April 30, 2008, 8:08 amSince the first day I bought the ZVM, I was relentlessly searching for AC/DC adaptor because I only have the USB charger. I read from this thread that USB charging can drains out the battery living span.

The authorized reseller of Creative Labs sell the OEM AC/DC adaptor for RM199!! How bloody expensive is that for a wall charger. Then I went buy third part AC/DC, first I bought the universal one, but didn't fit to the ZVM, and that cost me already for RM29. Then I bought another model universal AC/DC which cost me for RM35. This time the charger fits in, but it doesn't charging. Huh, RM 64 wasted just like that

Then I remember that Motorola HP also use the same type of connector. I tried with the Motorola phone charger which belong to my sister, and it WORKS!! It charges the ZVM good.... and its free also.

What a costly journey in searching AC/DC charger for me, and in the end the solution is a used Motorola charger which does not cost me a cent

Hi all... I had the Creative Vision M for a few years already. Firmware 1.11.01 well so far no reasons for me update, since no problems. Can I ask if anyone here knows where to get accessories for it? I need a screen protector and a rubber protective cover like the ones in the creative website. Mine has become a major scratch magnet over the years.... sigh Currently using it with Mylarone LBi.... beautiful

i got my new ZVM last sunday...i'm really happy with it so far..
until today..i tried to on it but it wouldn't budge..thinking maybe the battery is low
so i tried connecting it to the pc.. all i see is the blue led on top blinking from time to time
is there anything i can do to solve this problem?'i'm getting headaches trying to figure this out..
