Accessories for Zen Mic

I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, but I'm wondering what is taking so long for a decent array of accessories to show up for the Zen Micro. Is there a Micro-specific FM transmitter? Armband Carrying case? Cassette adapter? Jogging-friendly earphones (the ones that come with it are great for everything but jogging). I'd rather get accessories that aren't generic, but I'd also like them soon, so if anybody can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

No to all of the above. There are a lot of accessories compatable with the zen micro, but none made specificly for it. Creative E-mailed me that there may be new zen micro accessories this month. It's just a matter of time.
In the future, if you know that these questions have been asked, look for the thread that already has these questions.

  • Ipod cable/accessories for Zen sleek

    I don't know why Creative decide to use a new connection for Zen Sleek instead of the standard mini 5 pin USB2 connection.
    While looking for a new cable (and a compact car charger) for my new Zen Sleek, I noticed that the new Philips HD MP3 player and all Ipod seem to have the same kind connection.
    Have anyone attempted to use Ipod cable on Zen Sleek? It seems that most after market accessories are made for Ipod so it would be very very nice if Zen Sleek uses the same connection. Perhaps I am day dreaming.

    OK, don't get caught by this - there's a company that specializes in travel & replacement cables for cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players. Their name is Gomadic, and they have a very slick system - there's a standard USB male on one end and a receptacle like a mini-headphone receptacle on the other. You can get a very wide variety of end-connectors that plug into that receptacle and mate with just about anything you can think of. They claimed to have the connector for the Sleek, and I ordered it. However, when I got it, the end connector was a standard mini-USB male. I called them and they said "oops!" They just found out that Creative put this oddball connector on the Sleek while all the rest of Creative's players use the mini-USB. I can still use the thing for my camera and some other stuff though. They told me to keep it and gave me full credit on my credit card because of the error. So, I guess if you want a free travel connector for any of your kit that uses a mini-USB, order the cable for the Sleek from them before they correct their website!

  • New accessories for Zen micro? New firmwa

    i'm most likely gonna buy the zen micro tonight. i figure that it is creative's new "flagship" model so that means its prob. gonna get the most firmware, acc., and most support. if anyone has a reason i shouldnt get it let me know, i've read all the stuff about freezes and everything, but i'm sure by christmas there will be plenty of firmware for all these probs. hopefully lol. also, are there any 3rd party accessories for the micro, like skins or cases or anything? any new firmware about to be realeased?

    In Japan, the remote comes with the Zen Micro (still doesn't justify the $80 dollar price increase!!). I tried using the remote and found it to be a waste. I wouldn't bother buying it. When I am wearing a jacket I put the Micro in my jacket breast or side pocket. When I am not wearing a jacket, I use the case and belt clip.
    Unless you make massi'vely long playlists and would thus keep the Micro in your bag for LONG periods of time, the remote is essentially useless. It only has volume, puase, play, and next track controls, and no display of course.
    Just my thoughts on the remote. The clip sucks on the remote too. It's too small to clip to the strap on my bag securely.

  • Accessories for zen ext

    I've got a 40gb zen extra which I think is great but why are there so few accessories for it's:smileysurprised: The case it comes with is not very user friendly (can't see the screen!) and makes it really bulky. I would also really love a remote control for it as I tend to plug it into my home stereo and stick it on random but there is always the odd track I want to skip.
    Does anyone know of a remote control that would work with my zen extra or if there are other cases that would fit it's

    There are a few cases out there. The super case is from Vaja, but it has a super price tag.
    You can't use a remote with the Xtra. It doesn't have the additional socket or the hardware to work with one.

  • Car adapter for zen mic

    hi..does anybody know if there is a car adapter for zen micro...even a third party one will do..it would be awesome if i could play the music through the car speakers..and the zen micro is way far better than ipod or ipod mini!!!!..

  • Need accessories for Zen Micro-can anyone he

    Hello Everyone,

  • Accessories for Zen To

    Does anyone know of any good accesories for the zen touch and which website i could find them on. Thanks

    I haven't seen too much out there for it. Especially now that the Zen Touch has been discontinued.
    Look on the company website under "accessories" and see which ones work with Zen Touch.

  • Accessories for Zen Sl

    I recently bought a Zen Sleek and I'm desperate to buy an in-car charger and protecti've case for it. Do any of you know where they can be bought? I've checked with Creative and they don't have any at present but "probably in the future". I'm based in the UK but I'll buy from anywhere.
    And how about a home charger that doesn't have to use the USB cable too? Whoever came up with that idea must be crazy (and me even more so for buying it when I knew this is the way it worked!). Other than that, it's a great piece of kit.

    I'm not sure if there is any specific 3rd party case yet, but there were some other threads on it so try searching back.
    From what I remember the Sleek has a special connector that goes to a USB socket, which you then use with a USB cable. Perhaps the Zen Micro car charger will work with it. You either take a risk and get it, or see if one of the Moderators here knows.
    I notice though that in true fashion it's out of stock at the Europe site

    Do you mean USB cable to the PC, or just the USB cable in general? Doesn't the Sleek come with a mains adapter? If not, then you could take the risk again of getting the Micro mains adapter.

  • Armband for Zen Mic

    I've noticed looking around the site, that for the Muvos and all, you can get armbands. And also over at the Apple website, you can get armbands for the Ipod Mini. I was wondering if there will be an armband for the Zen Micro...Message Edited by Quickening on 03-2-2005 2:56 AM

    I hear what you're saying about the space given the picture. However, the description on the TuneBelt website lists the pocket dimensions as: H - 3.6", W - 2.0", D - .5" and says "This also fits Creative Zen Micro." According to the specs on the Creative website, the dimmensions are listed as: H - 3.3", W - 2.0", D - 0.7". So it seems like it would be a nice match (aside from the .3" on height).. But only seeing one in person will we know for sure.

  • What's up with those very cool matching speakers for Zen Mic

    Okay... in a very select few places on the net I have seen pictures (and limited info) for the Creative SBS Vivid 60 speakers that come in ten matching colors and are designed specifically for the Creative Zen Micro.
    I want them!!!!! The only place I have found them for sale is on the Asian version (Singapore, I think?) e-commerce version of the Creative website. They aren't even listed in the North American site. Pics are also sparsely scattered on the 'net, but I want to know more. Are they available? Did something get pulled? Is it pre-order only? Does anyone have any clue how to go about getting this or when they will be available?

    From what I've read the Zen Sleek Photo come shipped with the PlaysForSure firmware already so you will not need to update it.
    Napster To Go, Yahoo Music Unlimited, and any other subscription service will be ready to use straight out of the box. Just sign up for the service, connect the player, and transfer your songs. So yes this software that Yahoo is talking about is the PlaysForSure firmware.

  • What type of li-ion battery charger for Zen Mic

    Hi,
    What type of battery charger do I need to buy for the removable li-ion battery the Zen Micro uses?

    But, I want a charger!
    I will buy an extra battery. So that while I am using my Micro, I can re-charge the other battery. That is why I am buying a player with a removable battery.
    Problem is that Creative sells the extra batteries, but I don't see a charger listed.

  • Can anyone recommend good speakers for Zen mic

    HI,
    I have a zen micro and want to hook it up to good speakers to listen while in my bedroom. I know creative has a lot of speakers and I'm not sure what is good for the zen micro?
    how many watts is considered good? I see that some of the creative speakers have bi-amplification and some don't...what is that and would it be good for my zen micro? I'm a newbie about speakers and don't know anything... pls help.......
    Thanks

    In terms of portable speakers I use Creative's Playdock, albeit with my Nomad Jukebox 3. It will still work with the Micro, but it won't charge it and doesn't have a specific glove. The sound from the Playdock is great though. I also hear that Creative's Travelsounds are very good.
    I also use my digital audio players with a standard Pioneer home cinema system, and a partially upgraded home cinema system with Sony amp and Mission speakers.

  • Where can I buy a new HEADPHONE JACK PCB for Zen Mic

    Hi,
    I have resoldered my headphone jack 3 times, but it has once again started malfunctioning. This time, I tried superglueing the jack to the board, but I think I have accidentilly short-circuited some of the board that the jack rests on with the glue.
    Where can I just buy a brand new board with the jack on it's Or does anyone have a scrapped Zen Micro with the part lying around? If anyone can provide info about where I can get a new board, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Yeah, whatever <FONT color=#339900>i<t is, you can fint it on Ebay.
    Just be careful, some of the things on ebay are not always what they seem. Depeding on the price, you may be better off buying a new player.

  • Impossible to use MediaSource after installing PlayforSure upgrade for ZEN Mic

    This seems ridiculous but it seems like once you install the latest software update so the Zen Micro works with WMP 0, MediaSource will no longer detect the Zen Micro. Why would a company make a software update that stops you from using its own product? Creative please make another update that allows you to use both WMP 0 and MediaSource. Its ridiculous that I have to choose one or the other. MediaSource is so much better when it comes to organizing music already on your Micro. Plus "syncing" with WMP 0 is a joke. If you change one thing on a song such as genre or album and then sync, all it does is add the song to your player, it doesn't update the current file. I learned this the hard way.
    You really need to make it clearer that MediaSource will not work once you install the playforsure update. I would never of installed it if I knew that.

    I just read it over again and it says the following:
    Require software updates if you want to use any currently installed applications like Creative MediaSource?, Zen Media Explorer, or other track management tools with your player.
    To me it implies that there is a software update available to let you use both. Still I think they should of put these warings in bold and made it much more clearer. Anyways is there a way to revert back to the old way and still be able to play songs purchased from sites such as Napster on the Micro?
