BUG 1:Copy from the MP3 player to HDD:I try to copy some files from the Creative ZEN player back to the PC. I select
the directory where the files should be copy and a whole process went through
"ok", but the files weren’t copied on the HDD. Also the time of completion this
task was susspicious (too short comparing to the upload time).
This looks like a bug.
BUG 2:Playlists made by "Nomad Explorer" are empty:When the playlist is created after uploading files using RedChair Nomad
Explorer, the MC9.1 shows no any MP3 file on such playlist.
http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/empty_playlists/empty_playlists_1.jpgWhen the such playlist is opened in the ZEN or Nomad Explorer it shows the
files and is able to play them:
http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/empty_playlists/empty_playlists_2.jpgI susspect that the "\" character makes this problem for MC9.1 because when I
renamed the playlists the problem dissapear:
http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/empty_playlists/empty_playlists_3.jpgBut comparing the first two links you can see that MC9.1 didn't display the
propar name of the playlist:
MC9.1: Karma (Limited Edition - Disc 1)
Nomad Explorer: Delirium\Karma (Limited Edition - Disc 1)
This looks like a bug.
BUG 3:Creating a playlist from the files which are queued to copy on the MP3 playerWhen adding some files to upload on the MP3 player (Creative ZEN) and try to
save these files on the playlist on MP3 player, the MC9 says:
"To add files to a Playlist that are not on the NOMAD, please drop them on
the correct playlist"
http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/empty_playlists/playlist2.jpgWhen it happened I had to click "OK" button so many times as the number of the
selected files which I wanted to have on the playlist (in my case 274 times).
Moreover, the empty playlist file is created on the MP3 player!!! ~:|
This behavior should not be like this. The MC9 should:
a) pop-up one window with a message where it could say that "<nr> files are
unable to be saved in a playlist". The list of these files should be
displayed in the scrollable window.
b) The MC9 should mark these files and remember the playlist name which
should be created automatically on the MP3 player after the uploading of
these files will be done.
This will allow to have a clear view which files were last uploaded on the
MP3 player (because the names these files will be available on the
playlist) without a necessity to mark them one by one, then save the
selection as a playlist.
When the portable player already have a lots of the files, where are many
artists and many albums it is REALLY IMPOSSIBLE to find the new uploaded
files on the MP3 player.
BUG 4:CD-Audio track --> MP3 player - ripping, encoding and uploading on the fly:When I try to rip the CD directly to the MP3 player the file names are not
created correctly.
I insert the new CD-Audio to the CD-ROM, got the correct names from CDDB
database, then I select all tracks and send them to the MP3 player (Creative
ZEN). I the NOMAD options I selected "Force file conversion during upload",
selected "Encoder: MP3 Encoder VBR", "Quality: Normal/Low", pressed "OK"
button, then "Transfer".
What was happen it was quick uploading (maybe 5-10 seconds) and after that the
files appeared on the MP3 player. BUT:
a) the file names were in syntax "Track01, Track02, ..."
b) the files were completely EMPTY - no way to listen them from the MP3
player.
Some pictures are here:

http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/encode_on_fly/play_from_portable.jpgIt would be a nice to extend a future version of MC9.1 about possibility to
play the tracks from the portable players as well (the Nomad Explorer currently
can do it).
BUG 5:Transfer buttons are wrong:When some files are added in the MP3 player queue for uploading the "Transfer",
"cancel" and "options" buttons are not present. Instead two big sqares are on
the sides:
http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/no_buttons/no_buttons.jpgFortunatelly the "left" sqare doing a "transfer" and "right" the "cancel", but
there is no "options" button anyway.
BUG 6:No files in the right pane when the Handheld group selected:When the MP3 player is initialized, and when some group of files are selected
(artists, albums, genres, etc) the MC9 does not display all files which in the
selected group in the right pane (file list) even if it display the files when
only the Handheld is selected (from the root node of the handheld):
http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/no_files/handhelds1.jpg http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/no_files/handhelds2.jpg This is also not consistent with the rest of the tree element (library, My
computer, CD's, playlists, etc.). Normally it should be unified, that all files
should be visible also from the handhelds.
BUG 7:Transfering DVD tracks leads to the reboot:When the DVD track is send to the MP3 Player (Creative ZEN) and after that the
transfer button is pressed from the Handheld item on the left panel tree, the
MC9.1 makes an instant reboot of the computer!
By my view the MC9.1 should either:
a) pop-up the message that the file can't be send to the portable player or
b) send the file as a data file, which will not be visible from the player
(it the portable player allow for uploading a data files, like Creative ZEN
can do)
BUG 9:Removing the files from the MP3 player, tree window:When I want to remove one of the albums/artists from the left panel (tree
window) pressing the "Delete" key the message window pop-up:
"Are you sure you want to delete the selected track(s)?"
Pressing "Yes" caused only the refresh of the right file window and none of the
file (neither whole album/artist) wasn't deleted. (bug)
The only possible way to delete the album/artist is to delete all tracks from
the album then the album will disappear from the tree window.
BUG 10:Drag & dropping/sending from "My computer" to Handheld:When dragging the directory from the tree panel from the "My computer" and drop
it on the Handheld tool, the MC9 freezes forever (wn98se). Before that the
"Real Player warning" pop-up on the screen:
http://www.albedo.art.pl/~murphy/MC91/ZEN/send_from_pc/send_from_pc_1.jpgI just wonder why the MC9.1 need Real Player for uploading WMA files to the
portable player??
When selecting the folder from "My computer" and send it to the MP3 Player,
then look what is in the queue I saw that nothing was there, even if normally
the files inside the folders should be found and added to the queue.
