A small Zen Micro quest

Ok so i got the zen micro for xmas and i got some songs on there but i cant figure out how to play them when i go to now playing it says select music to play from the music libary ... how do i get there? It says I have songs on the micro but i cant seem to find the music libary.Please help me out and make this xmas good and not frustrating for me

First of all, have you read the manual. That could solve a huge part of your problem. For a quick answer, push the back button and then you will see music library. Click on it, and then use the touchpad to find the music.

  • Creative Zen Micro Questi

    I'm currently in the market for an MP3 player to use at the gym. Since I usually do a lot of jogging, I'm concerned about using an MP3 player that has a physical hard dri've vs. another type of player that utilitzes flash memory. My questions are:
    . Should I be concerned about using a physical hard-dri've-based MP3 player, or does it not matter?
    2. Does the Zen Micro use a hard dri've, or a sim card? I was told by someone at Cambridge Soundworks that it uses a sim card and not a hard dri've, however the review of this unit on CNET states that it uses a hard dri've. I was not able to find details on Creative's web site.
    Can anyone help?

    it absolutely uses a hard dri've...creative has other stuff that uses flash memory. you might have to worry about screwing up all the players that use hd's if you jog alot, so the flash players are the way to go. they are smaller, too, but you pay a lot more for a lot less space (usually 28, 256, 52mb or even gig) as opposed to 2.5, 4, 5, 20+ gigs for a hd.

  • Quick Zen Micro Quest

    I know some people have problems with their zen micros and linking them up to their pc, but do you use microsoft media player to sync or the program that is provided. currently i have a zen xtra 30 gb and i have creative mediasource. out of all of these, which one works best?

    SSR,
    The Zen Micro Media Explorer works very much the same way as Nomad Explorer but with a few additional feature. These are the various option available in the Zen Micro Media Explorer.
    . Import Music to Device.
    2.Rip Audio CD tracks to Device.
    3.Organize Music in Device.
    4.Create a New Playlist in Device.
    5.Sync Music and Outlook data between PC and Device.
    6. Transfer Data between PC and Device.

    Yes, you may buy a remote for: $20. I know there are places with Micros, I've heard them advertise on the radio. But I don't know where it was... I know the cheapest you an get this player online is newegg.com for $25. This page should help you find a store near you: http://us.creative.com/shop/wtb/local/local.asp If you aren't lucky enough to find a store in there (like me) you might be living in New England (like me, Massachusetts) and there are many places near me.

  • Creative Zen Micro Quest

    I have a white 5 gig Zen Micro and i love it but...............can someone please tell me how you synch up with Microsoft Outlook.... so that i can use the calender, contacts, and to-do-list features...........also, i've tried going throught the zen micro media explorer but it always tells me the device is connected, although it is, why does this happen and does it have anything to do with me using the latest firmaware (Creative Zen Micro *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware 2.00.2 )...........help is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    big_d5,
    If you had update the MTP firmware for the player, you will also need to update the Zen Micro Media Explorer to support the MTP version. Go to the driver page and look for this Zen Micro Media Explorer .00. for Creative Zen Micro (Software Update Package for Zen Micro Players with *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware).

  • New Zen Micro - Quest

    .) Firmware Update (w/ MTP? - the 2nd one) - When it says that it syncs with my WMP0, does that mean that every time there are new songs in my library, it will automatically transfer to the Zen? Cuz... I do have more gigs of music than can be stored in the Micro, and I need to be "selecti've" haha.

    janny,
    When using sync with WMP0, you do have the option of auto or manual sync.

  • Zen Micro Questi

    When I was reading the instruction booklet it says to install the software to your computer before you plug your Micro into it. I was gonna make some hard disk space on it so I can transfer projects from school to my house but I can't install the software at school. Is there any way for me to do this?

    If you can download from the computer at school buy a flash thumbdri've. You can check the sale ads for inexpensi've ones. I've purchased 4 gig ones fro $20.00 at Fry's electronics.

  • The Zen Micro wired remote: Many raves, two small ra

    Just got my eagerly-anticipated white Zen Micro remote!! Here's my two cents:
    Pros:
    . Nice look that matches the design of the unit itself very well.
    2. Definitely makes life easier in terms of controlling the unit while staying acti've.
    3. Minimalist with all of the important functions built into a small, elegant design.
    4. I like that there's a button to quickly switch between mp3 and radio modes.
    5. I like that the play button, when held down, functions as an on/off switch.
    Cons:
    . The clip is well-designed from the perspecti've that it's not likely to slip off after it's on. Unfortunately, it should have been a teeny bit wider because it doesn't work on anything but the thinnest cloth, which is especially tragic since this novel design would have let Creative make it as wide as they want without hurting its effecti'veness!
    2. Why did I have to figure out for MYSELF that the play button doubles as an on/off switch? The documentation (or lack thereof): the remote only includes a little diagram with a button legend. Said legend doesn't really say anything about the buttons except the obvious. Hmmm, I wonder what the "mode" button does, since on the actual device "play mode" lets me go from regular play to shuffle to repeat etc.... let's consult the manual. Ummm yep it seems that the "mode" button does... modes. Great.
    These two rants -- which in no way are recommendations not to buy the remote -- are indicators of the same feeling that possessed me when I wrote my previous rants about the Zen Micro itself -- deep, intense, frustration. Frustration at what appears to be a trend with Creative: <i>a non-user-oriented mindset</i>. The kind of mindset that thinks, "why bother with the kind of details that won't actually prevent anyone from buying the device?" Like, who would care about a crappy manual for a $20 remote? I mean, we'll all figure out how it works in no time, right? I mean, in the worst case, the hidden on/off function will be like a cool Easter egg waiting to be found.
    - sigh -
    I realize these small rants constitute the large majority of my post but guess what? It's a remote. It works. There isn't too much else to say about it. Or, at least, that's how it <i>should</i> be.

    I didn't know that about the play/pause button or the mode button. When I pushed play/pause it just paused and when I pushed mode it went to FM. I assumed that is all they did, lol! For me the clip is of little consequence because it is almost allways in my pocket or bag and I operate it by feel. Perhaps they figured that everyone li'ves in a warm climate and wears thin clothing? You are so right in saying the instruction manual is something less than stellar. I am not sure why they even bothered to waste the paper and ink! Come to think of it, the Micro's documentation led something to be desired too. Thanks for the tips!!!

  • Zen Micro: Where do these small clips g

    Hello,
    I opened my Zen Micro yesterday to repair the famous headphone jack trouble with the link to the instructions I found on this board. BTW, I want to thank Mercx for this, everything went smootly and I was able to secure all solder points that needed to be. Now the unit is well and works as it was supposed to.
    However, when removing the metal unit from the plastic casing, 2 very small metal clips fell off the casing. I've checked everywhere, i can't find where do these come from. Can anybody help ?
    ThanksMessage Edited by CanadaMusicFan on 08-04-2006 06:39 AM

    Thanks catawompus for your reply. However, I can't seem to find either where they came from nor how to replace them. Are there any explanations or pics about this somwhere ?
    Thanks

  • Real Player Zen Micro Transfer Quest

    I have some files I purchased a number of years ago via Real Player. They have an .rax extension and when I try and transfer them to the Micro I get an incompatable format message. I was just wondering if anybody knows a way to transfer these files to the Micro. Thanks for any help.

It was a decent player but the display on the remote drove me crazy and I was looking for something a little smaller. Anyways I must say that I?m disappointed with the Creative software. I find it very clunky. I had written syncing software for the IAudio , unfortunately the Zen Micro uses a proprietary driver that it uses to recognize the player. I?m guessing I will be able to use the SDK from Windows Media Player 0 to recognize the device but what a pain. It should just be recognized as a USB storage device. Anyways my real problem is that the transfer speed seems very slow to me. I?ve tried Windows Media Player, Creative MediaSource Organizer, and the Zen Explorer and all of them have disappointing speeds. Has anyone else noticed this? I?m running with firmware .02.05.
    The transfer speeds should be much faster if you use one of the MTP firmwares (2.xx). Also, are you using USB 2.0?

  • Help with my Bran-New Creative Zen Micro Photo. [Questi

    <EM>If you don't want to see the backing of my whole story skip to the bold print at the bottom!</EM>I also want you to know I read the FAQs and searched through some topics like this, but haven't found any asking my question.First of all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching Creative's Zen for a long time now. I kept observing each one closely before I purchased a product. I then saw the Zen Micro Photo come out. This one won my attention. I loved this, I quickly searched for reviews and went for the buy for Christmas. I told my dad about it and he was "iffy" on the price, but it was better then the iPod in my opinion.Christmas day came and I opened it. Right away I checked everything out I knew a lot about the menu already and all, but not really how to control it. I checked to make sure everything worked. All systems were go. After listening to the defaults (which I loved) I went to go install the software. I already had Media Player 0 and Adobe, oh and I didn't want the freakin AOL toolbar! Lol, so I installed everything else. It took forever, but I hooked it up and I installed the drivers, but as soon as I plug in the USB connector I see: "A HIGH-SPEED USB device has been plugged into a LOW SPEED USB port.After that, I switched USB ports, btu I got same message. I hit the X and then tried to charge. I got the Lightening Bolt, but no dimming of lights. I found out that this computer is not letting me install any service packs, I'm confused about that.My question:Is there anyway I can charge this mp3 player and download music onto my Zen Micro Photo without Service Pack ? Or did I just pay $250 for a really cool glowing mp3 player to be used as a paperweight? (I love this Zen and I ran the battery dead hoping that would make the charging easier).Help?
    My Specifications:
    My Mp3 Player: Zen Micro Photo (Black)What I tried: Switching USB ports and re-installing Service Pack Software: Not sure how to determine firmware without installing something. I'm on a XP Professional and I'm using the Creative Media Source and Creative Media Toolbox

    Thank you DM for responding. I am expecting problems, but it still won't allow me to charge the Zen Micro Photo or even use the Creative Media Source. I can't upload any songs or any contacts on it. I haven't uploaded anything yet, but it's not reading the USB device. When I run Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer I get this message at the top of the screen: "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer. I can't organize anything or add songs... so it just makes all the programs I downloaded useless and my Creative product unusuable.ONe thing it does do though... whenever I plug in my Zen MIcroPhoto to the USB it turns it on and glows, but only shows my battery at the top with one red line and the green lightening bolt filling the battery up.After leaving it like this for two hours the green moves, but the red bar stays the same size.

  • Zen Micro Car charger quest

    Will the official Creative Car Charger allow you to use the Zen Micro if the battery is completely dead? I bought a cheap usb car adapter and it doesn't seem to work correct at all. I am looking for a way to power the Zen Micro in the car if the battery is drained- I am assuming from Creative's product description you can use their adapter to power the Zen in the car if the battery is completely drained.
    We really like the Zen micro but have had continous problems with the battery. I've updated firmware and have done everything recommended in the FAQ in regards to conserving the battery. My wife primarily uses the Zen in the car to replace her cd's. It is not used that often (maybe 2-3 hours a week) but seem to not hold a chage at all. The only way we have found to fully charge the unit is through the usb port on our computer. So basically we are looking for a way to power the Zen in the car regardless if the battery is charged.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I'm pretty sure if the battery is dead the Micro won't work even if plugged in. I remember trying to use a demo unit at a store and the battery was dead. They plugged it into its charger and it still wouldn't work. It said it was charging but the battery had to build up a charge before it would work.

  • Zen Micro- CHINESE Language Display quest

    Hi, i am looking to buy a Zen Micro really soon.
    but i have a question regarding it displaying CHINESE CHARACTERS.
    does anyone have problems doing so, or any suggestions or warnings?
    do i have to have CHINESE Windows for it to work?
    thanks.

    I have mp3 files with ID tag information in traditional Chinese and the information displays on my Zen Micro without any problems. If you are using WinXP then you don't need a Chinese version - English WinXP is capable of displaying and manipulating Chinese data. Note that on WinXP you need to set default character set for non-unicode characters to either traditional or simplified Chinese, this setting should match the setting on your Zen Micro or you'll end up with gibberish.

  • Zen Micro EQ questi

    My Zen Micro was purchased in Nov 04. I downloaded and installed new firmware in Jan 05. Now I transfer my music directly from my computer's WMP0 files, and use no Creative software. Works fine, I'm very pleased with this wonderful player. I have some questions for SSR or Jeremy, or please direct me elsewhere...
    Question #: I'm sometimes able to play songs with "EQ off". Other times I need to use the pre-set EQ settings. The two I most often use are "Classical" and "Vocal". Please, tell me what the 5 EQ setting numbers are for each of these two pre-set choices.
    Question #2: The fi've frequency settings in my unit's Custom EQ are 80, 250, k, 4k, and 3k Hertz (Hz). Let's say I want to improve or reduce a sound frequency of 800 Hz... Do I adjust ONLY the 250 Hz setting? Or do I adjust ONLY the k (,000) Hz setting (closest to the frequency I want to change)? Or do I adjust BOTH the 250 and k Hz settings?
    Thank you for your assistance.
    kooch

    Thanks, SSR.
    As to Question , who would I contact at Creative Labs? My free help days are long gone. Would they consider this "proprietary information"? My WMP0 EQ has 0 frequency settings, twice as many as my Micro. It also has a "Classical" and an "Opera" pre-set, but the settings are spaced differently.
    I've "guesstimated" what the Micro settings might be, using the WMP0 settings, and I'm close, but I'm also off a little bit... Hence, Question #2...
    God, I hate reinventing the wheel...
