Creative MediaSource is your ultimate all-in-one digital entertainment software, designed for playing, creating, organizing and transferring digital music. It includes several applications like the Player and Organizer.

For more information and usage details on Creative MediaSource, refer to its online Help.

Unlike other media players, Creative MediaSource Player provides exclusive features (such as SmartFit), specially designed to manage and configure your Creative MuVo Slim more efficiently. With Creative MediaSource Player, you can play back a wide variety of digital audio and video formats such as MP3, WMA, WAV, Audio CD, Midi, VCD, AVI and MPEG-1 on the computer. You can also use the integrated recorder in Creative MediaSource to record audio.

The Organizer can be considered an extended view of the Player, as it provides additional features to help you manage a huge music library more easily. With it, you can:

rip Audio CDs and create high quality digital audio files (up to 320 kbps for MP3 and 160 kbps for WMA)

configure the settings for Creative MuVo Slim while it is plugged-in to Creative MediaSource

"squeeze" more audio tracks into your player with SmartFit, which employs intelligent track management and WMA compression

view the contents of your computer and your Creative MuVo Slim using the dual-window transfer panel, convenient for file transfer

locate songs in a few seconds, just by typing some keywords into the sophisticated music search engine
