$10 rebate on Zen Mi

I received my zen micro today, but no rebate info. How do I do the rebate?

Before I send my player in for repair work, can someone tell me the exact steps to get to where I can set my display brightness. Remember, I can't see anything on my Micro's display, so from the main menu, I would need to know exactly how far down each selection is (i.e. 5 clicks down to get to settings, then click down to display, etc.). I have a feeling my display is hosed and will need to be replaced (or the entire unit will need to be replaced), but I figured I would try this first.
Thanks

  • Same headphone problem with Zen Micro Pho

    I had 2 Zen Micros before. They both had the headphone where you can't hear anything unless you move it in the right position. My second Micro took a while to break and I cashed in my rebate at Best Buy.
    I got the new Micro Photo since they ran out of regular ones. Do you think I should get the rebate? Does the Micro Photo have headphone jack problems too?

    So far mine doesn't and i've not heard news that the ZMP is suffering the same headphone jack issue as the Micro.
    Yep, there has been no known headphone jack problem involving the MicroPhoto on this forum, and this should be compared to new threads every week concerning the original Micro as well as the old 00-pages discussion thread. More people have supposedly bought the original and it has existed for a longer time, but the ZMP has been out for over 6 months in the US and fo quite a while in Europe, well beyond the time it takes for many Micro users to discover this problem (my first broke after two days...). Considering this, I'll presume it has been fixed with the ZMP.

  • Need Opinion on Purchasing Zen Xtra 60GB

    Fry's Electronics is selling the 60GB Zen Xtra for $249 with an extra $40 off with a rebate. However, they unfortunately don't offer an extended warranty plan, which is why I have not purchased one over the last several months.
    Wal-Mart's website offers 2- and 3-year service plans for the 60GB Zen Xtra, but they are currently out of stock and I would have to wait for it to be mailed, plus, the price is $298 plus shipping and handling, plus $30-$40 for the service plan.
    Should I take the risk for the low price? The Fry's deal is today and tomorrow only.
    I haven't gotten one in the first place in part of the headphone jack problems, the slight gap between tracks, and also because I have not completely tagged my entire catalog properly, and I wouldn't want to waste my warranty time tagging all those files and once I finally get that done, my warranty is over and I have problems.
    Does it seem worth it's

    I bought mine from circuit city and did not buy the extended warranty plan it comes with 90 parts and labor and year on parts. I've really like mine and it hasn't given me any trouble and my dad like it so much i went and bought one for him for his birthday. as far as the head phone thing it's not with the zen xtra i haven't heard anything bad with for the zen xtra just that as of now it don't work with napster to go or yahoo music to go. it does work with them you just have to pay for the tracks.
    ZEN XTRA 30 is what i have and i love it. this is my first mp3 player and it's great.
    i say go for it..
    I second that thought. The Xtra already comes with a 3 month/ year warrenty, and it doesn't have a headphone jack problem. It is a stable mp3 player. Go to Fry's and save the $40

  • Zen Xtra freezes in rescue m

    there has probably been a post about this before but there are too many to llok through. I just got my player (Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 40 GB) and i went to start it up one day and it stayed at EAX screen for awhile then went into sage mode. From safe mode i tried Clean Up- didn't do anything, Format All-says "harddisk problem", Reload OS-"harddisk problem, and Reboot, this reboots to same rescue mode. I try plugging it into computer but says "player not connected". Also, if i shake it, i hear rattling from inside(dont know if its bad), probably shouldn't shake it but im trying everything! I never dropped it or anything like that(may have verbally abused it though)Message Edited by parcia64 on 0-03-2005 0:59 PM

    Hmmm. . . It seems that there's an epidemic! I had to perform rescue mode on my 30 GB Xtra yesterday, (Thanks again, SSR!) and noticed it was a bit sluggish this morning. That's when I decided to perform another cleanup. Bad idea. The cleanup froze at 98%. After staring at it awhile, I decided to press reset.
    This time, the opening EAS screen appeared, followed by the re-building library screen, which remained for at least an hour (Hey, I only have roughly 200 songs that I managed to salvage yesterday. It can't take that long!)
    I couldn't figure out a way to turn the darned thing off, so I just let it idle away. When I returned roughly an hour later, the device had finally turned itself off. It boots up properly now, but I'm a bit hesitant to invest any more time in adding files until I'm a bit more confident of its stability.
    After reading some of these postings, I'm tempted to return the device, but here's my dilemma: I purchased it from Buy.com and it came with a rebate offer. I've already cut the UPC and sent it in with my receipt to Stillwater (Home of my alma mater, OSU).
    I'm now in the process of recharging the unit so I can attempt reloading the firmware. I must say that I'm getting frustrated: First, I spent several days transferring hundreds of files from iTunes to the MediaSource Organizer, only to have roughly half of them disappear, and now I'm having to wrestle with the player yet again. Sigh. I'm hoping I can actually start enjoying this player soon!
    I doubt Buy.com will accept a return sans a UPC on the back, and I'm not sure I have another copy of the receipt. I'd really like to get this unit repaired or replaced, but I want to make sure I've explored all avenues first. Is a reload my best option, or should I try something else? (Fortunately, mine doesn't rattle when I pick it up. . . )

  • Will the Creative Zen Xtra have a firmware update for "driverless" operati

    Is it even possible? I contacted Creative Labs and they said they would put the suggestion on the possibility for a future implemented feature. I just bought the 30GB model for $79 off of Outpost.com [the cheapest I've seen online] without any rebates. It is awesome--sound quality, menu, and design. It is a bit large, but I don't care. This is my first mp3 player that actually has a hard dri've. I've wanted to get this one since last January, but kept putting it off.
    Anyway, is it possible for a firmware update for a driverless operation so you can add songs on any Windows XP/2000 PC without having to install the Nomad Explorer program? Thanks!

    Driverless support is supposedly coming for Windows Media Player 0.
    The reasons behind all this are discussed in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...Jukebox+Zen#34

  • Zen Micro Rev

    I just got my Zen Micro yesterday. Bought it on eBay because I specifically wanted the Dark Blue color with the extra battery. Cost was $260 shipped and it arri'ved in three days.
    I had researched getting a new MP3 player ever since my Zen Xtra fell victim to the dreaded headphone jack problem. I've sent it back to Creative for repair and will probably give it to my gf now that I have my Zen Micro.
    Prior to purchasing, I looked at several MP3 players. The most important factors for me are size, sound quality, price, and features. I like the Zen Xtra but barely used 4gb of space and it was fairly bulky and heavy. I considered the iPod as a friend of mine loves his and recommended it to me. Although the controls are intuiti've and the sound is decent, I balked at the price. With the iPod Mini starting at $300 for only 4gb of space lack of additional features, I really didn't even consider it. I checked out and even bought the Sandisk G model with the FM tuner. Extremely tiny, good sound quality, and priced at only $59 after rebates. Still, the space was extremely limiting even more my needs and I returned it.
    As it turned out, the Zen Micro was the perfect fit for me. It had the features I wanted and was fairly priced in my opinion. Here's my thoughts on the different aspects of the player:
    Cosmetic
    Quite simply, it's the best looking player I've ever seen. Small but not tiny, it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. The case that comes with it so you can attach the stand or belt clip does make it a little thicker but not that much. The most impressi've looking thing is how the player pulsates a soft, blue light when it is charging. A little ominous but it gives it a real hi-tech feel.
    Sound Quality
    I'm not an audiophile but I can appreciate good sound. For such a small player, the Micro deli'vers excellent sound quality. I think the max volume is 25 but for me 2 is more than enough. The headphones are pretty good considering they are stock. I've played around with a few of the EX settings and found Pop to sound the best. Haven't tried the custom setting so I can't report on that yet. Overall, very impressed with the sound quality.
    Functionality
    Having had a Creative player in the past, the interface was fairly easy to pick up. Still, this is probably the weakest part of the Micro. The touchpad takes some getting used to. I'm getting better at it but even at the least sensiti've setting I've had problems. However, I think that this will actually help the Micro become more user friendly. Once you get used to the touchpad, it is a very easy method for maneuvering through the various menus. The one thing I would have liked to have is a dedicated volume control. You can use the touchpad to adjust the volume while your listening to the player but there is no specific volume button like on the Zen Xtra or other MP3 players I've tried. I guess it's a matter of preference though.
    Features
    The FM tuner was one of the selling points. The reception isn't too bad where I'm at. I can get all the stations that I like to listen too although the sound quality isn't as great as a dedicated FM tuner. Still, it's a handy little feature for me. I still have to test the Outlook organizer feature but that's not something I plan on really using. The ability for the Micro to become a USB storage device is an outstanding feature. You basically have a portable storage device and can dedicate up to 2gb of space to store files. I've tested the feature on several computers and it works like a charm. Although most users probably won't use their Micro as a portable dri've on a regular basis, it's nice to to have this feature and it's one that I plan on using on a regular basis.
    Conclusion
    Everything considered, the Zen Micro is the perfect MP3 player for me. It's combination of good lucks, oustanding sound quality, features, and price is hard to beat. I don't know of any other MP3 player that combines everything that I'm looking for. I haven't run into any problems so far but I'm confident that Creative got it right with the Micro. Highly recommend it to anyone looking into a quality MP3 player. I don't think it's an iPod killer like some people have said because frankly, the iPod isn't in the same class.

    ERROR IWTH REVIEW:
    You mentioned that you cannot tune the radio for youself. You can do so however. Just go to the FM Radio and press the play/pause button. The 'Preset
    ?' thing will dissappear and then you can just tap the |<< and >>| buttons until you reach the disired frequency

  • Zen Micro Firmware 2.20.05 with Audible suppo

    So I was checking out Audible.com to see what devices are listed and I noticed the Zen Micro was there. It was weird because non of the firmwares listed on Creative.com showed Audible Support. So I e-mailed Audible asking what firmware they tested out for the Zen Micro that supports Audible. So they e-mailed me back saying go to this website: <a href='http://www.audible.com/muvo_upgrade.html' target=_blank>www.audible.com/muvo_upgrade.html[/url] (yes it says muvo but that doesn't mean anything). Click on Creative Zen Micro or scroll all the way down. The link they gave was a download from their website as a file named: ZenMicroP4SAudible_2_20_05.zip Now it doesn't take a smart guy to notice that 2_20_05 is the firmware version of the file. And any firmware beginning with 2 is considered the PlaysForSure firmware if going by Creative's convention of firmware numbering.
    Only one problem. I dont have a Zen Micro to try it out. And its not even listed on Creative's support pages as a download.
    I'm curious and I'm sure many others here are as well, does this firmware fix the battery drain issue? Also does it have any new features or does it fix anything else?
    Direct link: <a href='http://download.audible.com/creative/ZenMicroP4SAudible_2_20_05.zip' target=_blank>http://download.audible.com/creative/ZenMicroP4SAudible_2_20_05.zip[/url]
    I checked the properties of the file and it is indeed made by Creative, not Audible.

  • Zen Micro Revision Question's

    I work at a local reatailer which sells zen micro's, & i've done a ton of research - i have to say that the zen's have a good reputation so far and what appears to be a solid community behind them (not surprising given creatives overall rep).
    I have knowticed however, that there seems to be 2 different part numbers associated with the Zen Micro's, for example the black zen has both 70PF0800000 & 70PF08000000, both are black, post the same spec's and seem to be identical. Anyone know what the differance is (Firmware, headphone jack etc. - <EM>yes i have read the READ ME FIRST post</EM>)?
    I ask this because im looking to buy one and have the oportunity to order myself either one... and i'd rather get the newest. Also there's some exclusi've mailin rebates floating around some retailers but they require a specific part number (not going to say where or how much, im not trying to promote), but as they seem identical to me, i dono if creative will kick up a fuss about it.

    The only 00% confirmed differences are the repackaged version since the price drop (without mains adapter etc.) and the very minor change to the face plate.

  • Creative Zen Sl

    i bought a zen sleek in august last year, since then I've had two replacements. The first player gathered so much dust between the screen cover and the LCD screen that it obscured the menu, the second player had the wrong firmware and was incompatible with my existing software from the first player, and the last player has recently frozen on me.
    over the months I've owned a Sleek, its been in Creatives testing labs more than I've had it. Not only did they manage to send me a replacement with the wrong firmware (i assume it was meant for the American market and so had a slightly different version of firmware) but they managed to almost lose that player when i sent it off to be replaced for the second time.
    they have misled me concerning refund requests, sent the replacements to the wrong address after i specified a new one, bribed me with an in-line control i didn't need and refused but which they still sent (also to the wrong address) and now after three players they are refusing to refund me on the grounds that the latest player has a very small shatter in the plastic screen.
    they don't have a complaints address on this site, and the phone number for their customer help people is hidden on this link at the bottom off the main page, and is only meant for people with a MegaWorks 50D speaker system they are recalling. They are also about to phase the phone support out completely btw, and anyone who has dealt with their email support system will know how painfully slow it is and how every time you get a reply its from a different person, making it extremely inefficient.
    if i were you, i would think twice before buying a Creative player.....they bring too many players out each year, and that means none of them are well designed. The Sleeks have a design flaw in the screen which traps loads of dust, and their customer support is terrible and its set to get worse.Message Edited by WilliamLockwood on 07-20-2006 03:53 AM

    hey im completely in your boat, i too bought a zen sleek in august last year, i have sent it back 3 times due to dust getting under the screen and 3 days ago my player wouldnt load new firmware so it was rendered useless ( oh yeah an it had dust under the screen also but i'd learned to li've with it ), i sent it back yesterday but even worse timing, i am going on holiday on the 28th an i dont know how im going to cope without my mp3 player as i needed it more than ever (the sort of reasons i bought it was to take on holidays and stuff).So presuming creative will send me a new one by the 28th i will be ok. I was planning on buying a creative vision:m but i've been put off so im gona wait till/if that toshiba gigabeat s comes out in the uk.

  • Creative Zen Style M300. My story.

    Hello to all,
    The following is a list of features that, in my humble opinion, every decent MP3 reader must have:
    1) Must be SMALL. Images and video must be avoided because they increase screen size: MP3 reader is for playing music, I use it during jogging and I need to hold it in a single hand. If I want to see images and videos I use my smartphone.
    2) Must have a great capacity even if you play only music. I usually buy 8 GB players and expand it with 16 GB SDHC card. 24 Gb is enough for me.
    3) Must have a battery duration of, at least, 15 hours.
    4) Must have a processor fast enough to have a good response time.
    5) MUST support browsing by folder.
    6) Must have FM radio.
    7) Buttons must be responsive and placed in right places in order to be easily accessible with a single hand.
    8) The output must be sufficiently loud.
    9) Must support MP3 and WMA.
    10) Must have a good SNR.
    One year ago the only player that fits all these requirements was Sansa Clip Plus. A very well designed MP3 reader (in terms of features). BUT, my first Sansa Clip Plus battery dead after 6 months. At the time no other valid alternative exists... so I buy a second Sansa Clip Plus. After some months, it stop to works with apparently no reason. How sad. Look like that battery and/or power system of Sansa Clip Plus is very poor. So I have tried to find a valid alternative. I have tried the Creative Zen Style M300. But it lacks some important features. Referring to the previous list:
    1) The size is acceptable.
    2) OK
    3) OK
    4) Not fast and responsive as the Sansa Clip Plus but could be accepted (Sansa Clip Plus is very very fast).
    5) This feature is absent and IMHO is a totally wrong decision. I have tons of MP3 organized in folders and now I have to reorganize they differently. In addition the reader come with no software and I don't know how to edit ID3 tag.
    6) OK
    7) Touch buttons are a really bad choice for a MP3 reader. They are not very responsive and badly located (hard to be handled by a single hand). To be more comfortable the volume buttons should be placed on the left side (usually managed by forefinger and middle finger of the right hand).
    8) Volume is poor. Equalizer have no effect if your volume is near the maximum level (31), because the output power is limited. Look like Creative limit power for European models. Sansa Clip Plus also limit power, but you can choose your country in the configuration menu and if you select a country outside Europe, you can overcome that problem.
    9) OK
    10) OK
    I wish to report my experiences hoping that Creative designers can read it.

    Hi,
    Most music (classical) is from ripped CD's, some albums from eMusic. If needed I use Mp3tag.
    The problem is that the pics seem to show up or not at random. It's not a big deal really, just odd.
    I don't have this problem with my Zen X-Fi 2. Only problem there is pics for .flac files.

  • Creative Zen Review With the AudioBook Listener In Mi

    Here is a copy of my review of the Creative Zen which I just published on the amazon.com mp3 player forum in the thread I started over a year ago entitled "What's the best player for AudioBooks " It is the longest thread in the forum with little indication of slowing down, and it can usually be found as the first thread in the forum.
    http://www.amazon.com/tag/mp3%20play...MxM6KCQW5Q9B6C
    I wound up getting the Zen 4GB a few weeks ago but delayed posting until I figured out how I liked it.
    - I like that it has a big screen with big text that I could get by using without my reading glasses (old eyes) in a pinch. That is a very toughtful touch I have't seen on any other players (not that I've seen them all.)
    - The big screen will also show pictures and videos which I don't care much about but is a nice feature if desired.
    - The big screen doesn't come with a cover and it will get scratched up fast. It took me a while to figure this out so my screen got a little scratched up before I realized it.
    Consider screen covers mandatory. They are sold seperately in a 3 pack for around $8. This is so important the device ought to have come with at least one screen cover in the box, even if it raised the price $2. My screen cover has been on for a few weeks and shows no sign of wear or coming loose. I did combine it with a rubber device cover I got on amazon for $3 which protects the whole device and covers the edges of the screen and screen protector. The unit is now protected. The cover comes with a little strap and D-Ring clip which is good for hanging onto some piece of clothing.
    - It has a built in battery which is good. It supposedly takes a long time to recharge but that is not an issue for me. I just plug it in to a USB port with the included 4" long cable and it has plenty of time to charge during the day for my use. A fast AC charger is available at extra cost (~$25 I think.)
    - Defect: The unit shuts off after being on pause for a few minutes (good) but it starts up at the beginning of the track when you restart (bad.) If you turn it off, it restarts where you left off as it should. This would not be an issue for music listeners, but it is for audiobook listeners when the track may be an hour to several hours long.
    - Defect: Bookmarks are not at the top of the Menu list and although some menus are customizable, the one with Bookmarks is not.
    - Defect: You can't get to Bookmarks when in the book. You have to back up to Music Menu, click to get to menu, and scroll 2 spots to get to Bookmarks. Not a deal breaker when you get used to it, but clearly not designed properly with the audiobook user in mind.
    - Sound quality: very good. Even with music, very nice.
    - Included headphones: Nice sound. They fall out of my ears and get tangled up a lot but I think thats true of most earbud headphones. I'm going to get the Sony Sport headphones I've had before with a foldable over the head strap.
    - Bookmarks: 0. Plenty for me. (Who listens to more than 0 books at a time )
    - Price: $90 for 4GB. I thought that was quite reasonable.
    SUMMARY: With a few menu enhancements and the ability to return to it's place after a pause/shutdown, I'd consider this device close to perfect for the audiobook listener.

    Try going into "Control Panel->Administrati've tools" and clicking on "Computer Management". Find "disk management" in the left pane and click it. Your Stone should be in the right somewhere. I think you need to right click, then "choose dri've letter and paths" and give it a dri've letter with the "add" button. Let us know if that works.

  • Zen Vision M 30GB - How to edit more than one tag at once

    Hello,
    I?m looking for a comfortable way to edit the tags on my player. I?ve installed ZEN Vision M Series Media Explorer, but I can only add one file at once. I?ve tried a normal tageditor, but I can't see the player in the device list.
    Does anyone know a tool for editing more than one file at once ?
    Thanks
    Michel
