Playing music from my Creative Zen Vision M

[nynaevelan]

I can't help you wit the playback option, but I fixed my Zen so that the folders are not a problem anymore, I just have all my music sync to the \Music\ folder with no other folder options. This setup makes it easier to browse my player from within MM and using Windows Explorer.

what is going on here.?

this whole thread seems wrong to me since i can play my zen micro through mediamonkey,

you just can't make playlists on the zen player with the zen bundled software, and play it through monkey.
you have to use monkeys playlists when you sync to the zen.

that is the way i use it with the zen micro.
so are you saying creative has changed to something different with the newer players?

RC:

Now I know we have had this conversation in another thread but the newer Zens are not able to perform tasks in MM as your Micro is able to.

i thought we talked about it before but i did not see the post in this thread so i thought it was just a dream we talked about it?
sorry i keep seeing zen and not looking at the last part of the name, of course some don't say it?

Nyn (or anyone else) I was wondering if you could tell me how to arrange my tracks so that they all come in a list, rather than as folders. I also cant seem to get the folders displayed in the main window ( where tracks from the library are) but instead they only appear in the left hand window where the tree nodes are.
Cheers!

all you should have to do is go to the my computer node.
click on the plus sign beside the zen player icon.
then all the folders on the player will be found and shown below the zen's icon.
then just click the plus sign beside the one you keep your songs in. or click the playlist node if you had monkey make playlists. then the songs list in the view area.

then all you should have to do is select those songs and then click play, that is just like any folder on your hard drives, only the device is the hard drive.

You said that very well for a non-Vision owner. One small addition... In order to view the music in one list without the folders, you will have to put it on the Zen without the folders. I do this with mine because I like to use Trixmoto's Custom Report script on my Zen.

its the same baisc thing you do for hard drives. the device's are just out of tower hard drives,
it is how i do it for cdroms also. its so basic i find it hard that people don't know it already?

i don't know why the zen bundled player is needed with the zen vision it is not with the mico all i do is make playlists with mediamonkey, but monkey i think does just use the all link to see all the songs in the list with out doing the each folder thing?

some times it pays not to need that extra bell or whistle on the portable, for video. after all its in my pocket and the head phones are on and i'm doing something different with my eye's that the video is wasted on the inside of my pocket?
