Are zen micro mp3s compatible from any downloading prog

Are creative zen micros mp3 players compatible with music from any downloading program.
p.s what do you think is nicer the black zen micro or the sli'ver i can't make my mind up.

. Most pay per song programs are DRM WMA. Which is compatibal with the zen micro (May be with others im not sure because i only have the zen micro). If you download music then you will get it (most likely) in Mp3 form which also works with The zen micro. However itunes uses ACC which is not compatibel but im sure you can convert the music into normal mp3 (not sure how). So chances are your music will work with the zen micro (unless u use OGG vorbis or something weird like that)
2. I have a silver Zen Micro--Looks more professional and cool.

Zen Micro is compatible with Audible.co

Creative Labs Direct Sales responded to my question with this quote "Yes, the Zen Micro is compatible with Audible.com. Any format used at Audible.com should work just fine with the Zen Micro."
Everytime I try to transfer Audible content to the Zen Micro I receive an error message. Is there software that needs to be downloaded? Is the transfer process different?
-Rukauf

It's not... there are a few other threads here containing workarounds (sorry I don't know how to post the link to them here) that involve either ) burning the Audible.com files to CDs and then ripping the CDs or 2) converting the Audible.com files to wav files using a program called Microsoft Graph Edit, and then converting them to mp3 or wma.
You aren't the first who states they have received incorrect information on this subject. Further, I contacted Audible about their future plans to support the Zen Micro. They responded that they currently have no plans to support it (as of late January)
I am a huge fan of this player, but if you want to be assured of seamless Audible.com supprt, you should probably consider a different player until a clear direction is determined.
Good luck,
Craig

Creative Zen Micro Not compatible with Windows Vi

My daughter has a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player, no video feature, just the the music player. She recently got a new computer that runs Windows Vista. She tried to install the program on her new computer, and it said the software was not compatible with Windows Vista. Does that mean I need to get new software from Creative Zen? to use the program on The computer running?Windows Vista? Any help would be appreciated..

The software that came on the original CD is not supported on vista.
The Zen Micro will work nati'vely with Vista if it contains the latest firmware version. If the Zen Micro isn't being recognized by Vista then you will need to use an older system (windows xp) to upgrade the firmware on the Zen Micro. Once Vista recognizes the Zen Micro you should be able to download Vista compatable versions of the software for the device from the creative website.

Creative Zen Micro MP3 - BIGGEST piece of junk I ever bough

I bought a Zen Micro MP3 player about a year and a half ago. For the last few months I was having trouble with the headphone jack. It became loose on the circuit board that it's attached to. All I need is a new circuit board and the unit will work fine.
I contacted the company and they told me that they dont sell parts to the public. Then they told me to call their "Creative Tutor" telephone number in order to diagnose the problem and also to be able to get an estimate and to be able to send it in for servicing. In other words, it has to cost you $2.99 to get an estimate of the cost to repair the unit and also pay that in order to be able to send the unit in for servicing.
At this point, with all the problems that they are having with the headphone jack in this unit, dont you think they, (the company and their tech support center) would know what the problem is ? Also, why should we have to pay a service charge in order to be able to send the unit back for servicing ? This is ridiculous !!!!!! :angry:
Unless the company want to acknowledge the fact that their units are defecti've and make some sort of decent arrangement with the consumers that purchased them, I will NEVER buy another one of their products and suggest the same to all my friends and business associates.
The purchase of this MP3 player is the biggest waste of money that I ever had. I paid over $200 for it and the unit it totally worthless at this point. Thank you Creative for being there for us !!!!!

I have EXACTLY the same problem. In fact I posted it just 2 days ago under the thread "I will never buy Creative again" and they removed my post after 24 hours. Guess they don't like critizism. The guy actually blamed the user for not following their recomended procedure of only using and armband or a beltclip and that it was the customers fault for putting it their "pocket". Nice to alienate your customer base. The service tech told me that the manual tells you this, which is BS because the company supplies a NECKSTRAP for the love of...so if the headphone jack is so weak it can't be used outside an armband of a beltclip why supply a neckstrap?!
When all was said and done it would cost a MINIMUM of 00 bucks to fix it and closer to 25 with the stupid 2.99 cost to diagnose....great deal for a 89.00 player. This is the worse customer service ploy I've ever heard. Even if the thing is out of warrenty, I've had it about a year, at least fix it for a reasonable price since it is a well documented problem. A problem the tech denied.
I work for a large Hollwood company that gave out Ipods as Christmas gifts last year to our clients. The company gave out close to 500. I was going to recommend the Creatives for next year but guess how likely that is?

PC does not see my ZEN micro mp3 pla

Hello
I have a ZEN micro mp3 player and a Laptop wich runs windows Vista with SP.
At the moment i am in Finland and the software disc is in Holland so that's why i can't install the normal way.
When i try to instal either firmware or other software/drivers it keeps saying my player is not connected.
I used both front and back USB ports and also connected the player to a different laptop with windows XP but it was the same.
Pleas help me, Thanks
Joost

@lllaass
I see now that i have an ipod 2. I will have to point that out to the Apple guy.
itunes says I have 6.6GB (of 6.8) in audio. I have only aobout 300 songs and nothing else. I took 3+GBs off the audios when this all started and it Still says I have 6GB audio - did not even see the change.
And - even the ipod itself (setting, about, capacity) says I only have 5 MB free. (which was why I thought it might be the OS)
Other is a mere 0.22 GB.
And it still won't let me add anything even though I took off 3.3 GB (and was playing all those various audios just fine until this started on Sunday when I tried to add an album).
I ran across this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2574693?start=0&tstart=0
apparently it is an old problem (for some people on their iphones or ipads) and no one has an answer. Thus my stopping in at Apple today and I guess I'll need to go back. Online they don't want to talk to me without payment as the ipod is not under warrenty now. But this really seems to be doing something Apple is doing wrong and not fixing. It's turned my $250 ipod into a useless thing.
Sorry to rant - very frustrated....

Zen micro problems, help! Any creative in Chi

Hi guys I'm having problems with my Zen Micro since about two weeks it has been presenting several problems I've treated my micro very carefully it has only fell once to a carpet at not much a height and I'm getting various problems. When I play music after random play all like 5 times the mp3 gets stuck and only way to reset it is removing the battery. However, when i put the battery back and i turn it on it sometimes gets stuck on the creative screen or in rebuilding library. The only way to make my micro work again is connecting it to my pc and waiting for it to turn on. I'm very concerned and I would like to try to take it to creative to repair but I don't really know if there is a creative store or authorized local in Chile. Maybe there's also another solution for my problem without taking it to repair. However, I've tried various different methods (I've entered recovery mode, done clean up, I've also formatted, upgraded the firmware, but the problem still occurs). Could this malfunction could be caused by the battery of the zen failing?
Thanks very much.

up! come on any moderators plz help

Zen Micro Problem...Any ide

Well, I've had my zen micro just under a year...and i use it a lot.. but recently its been playing up a bit... I think the battery life is a bit shorter, but the main problem is that a lot of the time it only plays out of one headphone or doesn't play the lyrics, just the background music. And to get it to play I have to put the headphones in an exact position and hold them there. I've tried replacing headphones and that doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone else solved this problem who could offer any advice to me?
Thanks.

Hi! this has happen to me and the only thing I had to do is to take it to the store that sold me the ZEN Micro. That was a?headphone plug problem.

Zen Micro MP3 Player startup probl

When i was starting up my MP3 player it was just brining up the charge icon and wouldnt start up. Then it brought up the recovery menu and i did a disk cleanup hoping it would work now. Now when its plugged in my computer it doesent do anything the icon for charging doesent come up, it wont even turn on.
FYI it was working fine before
Edit: Now it is starting up and going back to just brining up the charge icon. I can also go to the recovery menu but it wont fully start up. I tried updating the firmware but im not able to connect it to the PC. It keeps telling me that it is not connected. I have tried 2 computers.

This same thing is happening to everyone I know who has a Zen Micro. Even me. I asked Creative about it and they said just return in to it's vendor or send it in for repair/return.

Are Zen Micros (5GB) Discontinu

Went shopping for another Zen Micro, and, found only the 6 GB available. I tried numerous Staples, and, Best Buy stores with no luck. I ended up buying the 6 GB (For $20.00 more) at J&R. All the stores I tried said, they doubt that the 5 GB would be back.
With all the problems I'm reading on the Micro 5, I wonder if Creative abandoned the 5GB
version, with a new modified version (Excluding The Problems)- Zen Micro 6GB?Message Edited by PegasusSound on 0-8-2006 2:00 PM

Those stores never seemed to have carried them in the first place when I was searching. I found my 5GB Micro at BH and it sells fast. When they put "In Stock" on their website, it's back to "Out of Stock" within hours.

ZEN MICRO MP3 Worst experience, poor (cheap) quality, poor customer servi

I purchased to Creative Zen MP3 players (the 5GB model). Within the first use the battery life did not exceed more than an hour for both players. Within the first two months the sound quality deteriorated and within the next few months both players ceased to function. One no longer turns on and the other does not play any sound. I then tried to contact Creative which is the first company I have ever come to encounter that does not provide 800 assistance to their buyers nor their buyers within their one year warranty. This has become a complete hassle and 00% dissatisfaction purchase. I have spoken to other friends who have also purchased a Creative product and they too are completely dissastified with their purchases and wish they never purchased one either. The word of mouth is the strongest weapon against companies like Creative who treat their consumers poorly with the quality and poor level of service. Please be sure to let anyone you know of this matter and not to purchase a Creative because they will in return be stuck with poor customer service and poor quality merchandise.
I am absolutely disgusted with the level of service I have received from Creative. I am absolutely tired of waiting anywhere between -5 days to receive a response for my inquiries on my warranty. On top of that they claim because the serial number is manufactured out of the one year warranty that I no longer am entitled to receiving my one year warranty. I believe this is absolutely absurd because when a product is manufactured it is not immediately sold to a consumer; it takes time before it is purchased. My warranty is not supposed to expire until December of next year but the representati'ves from Creative are claiming because the serial number is not within the one year that I am no longer entitled to my one year warranty. The documentation that Creative provides for the one year warranty does not state anywhere in its print that the buyer is responsible for anything more the first year, it does not state that a receipt should be held onto for months in the case that Creative cannot locate it's own information properly. I feel as if this is completely fraudulent to claim that the manufactured date is the date that should be held accountable versus the date that the product was scanned. That should be the company responsibility to have that accurate information, not the buyers.

My recommendation is to just go with Apple Ipods. I have heard they have great customer service who put their trust in the customer and have a quick turn around rate. Creative customer service quality is indescribable and wretched, and the turn around rate is way over 48hrs with no 800 number provided or only provided to a select amount of customers or you have to pay.

I must agree with Isoltani. I do not think that the products are particularly bad, but it sure does seem like they could come up with some better customer support. You guys act like just because they have a customer service period we should be satisfied, but that's not good business. If I own a company, especially a company related to electronics, I know that to be successful I need good CS. This company relies on people like the people that post on this thread to answer %90 percent of the customer's needs, which is kind of sad. The only reason that I can see for this company being successful at all in the portable media area is because they develop an ok product at an ok price, which is good I guess, but people don't realize the poor customer service until after they buy, which completely kills any of their future sales for the potential customers who have problems. The fact of the matter is that the CS of creative is very poor and should not be acceptable to those in charge at the company.

Zen micro mp3 pla

Hi everyone.
Im about to buy a , but i need to know one thing.
I would just like to know if songs that i have on my computer that i downloaded from p2p will transfer to a .
PS: Edited to remove service name. Please do not post service name of p2p software.Message Edited by Jason-CL on 05-7-2005 02:25 PM

Downloading copyright material over P2P is illegal, so it depends on what you're downloading. P2P isn't inherently illegal per se.
Also it depends what format you're downloading. The formats supported by the Micro and MP3 and WMA (not Pro or lossless).

X2: How to stop and play a MP3 file from any place...

Hi,
I have some 1 hour talk shows on MP3 on my X2. I play one show. After 10 minutes I want to pause it there and take a call, or go to the menu and add a reminder, and come back to the mp3 and play from the point I stopped (10 minutes). How to do that?
When I pause and come back and press play, it starts from the begininging????
Thanks
Roahan

Well a smarter way of implementing this is by using a solution provided by Java Itself.
If you are using J2SE 6.0+ there is an in built solution provided along with JDK itself and inorder to go ahead with solution the below are set of API which you;d be using it for compiling Java Programs (Files)
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/package-summary.html
How do i do that ??
Check out the below articles which would help you of how to do that
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jcomp/index.html
http://www.javabeat.net/javabeat/java6/articles/java_6_0_compiler_api_1.php

Now once we are done with compilation.In order to run a Specific class all you ought to do is create an object and its specific methods of a specified class included in the CLASSPATH which you can manage it easily by usage little bit reflections.
Hope that might help :)

My Zen Micro won't accept ANY fil

Hey, I'm not technologically illiterate here, but my files WILL NOT MOVE from my computer to the darn thing.
I've followed the directions numerous times over, unspecific as they are, & still nothing. This is deeply frustrating, as I'm sure you can imagine.
So what am I doing wrong? Am I missing something here? Do I need to maybe do something other than charge it & connect it to the computer?
ANY help would be soooo very appreciated.

I can't even GET to my music...there's none ON it.
It plays fine on my player--the one from them, WMP, & Winamp, all of them.
I haven't done that yet, I will try it if this attempt doesn't work.
(By the way, thanks for dealing with my utter stupidity when it comes to this thing!)

Creative Labs Zen Micro Mp3 Pla

My player is stuck on the Creative screen--tried the reboot process and get nothing--is there a way to reboot other than taking the battery out and replacing while holding the on off switch--Please Help!

loading time? do you mean the time it takes to recharge? on USB i think it's around 3-4hrs. i bought the AC adapter recently, i love it. it was around 25$ at walmart and that cuts the charge time by around /2 or so. you can also run it on AC without the battery so it'll last you longer.

***Dropped Zen Micro Not Working 100%

I recently dropped my Zen Micro Mp3 player from a height of about 4 Feet. When I turned it back on I found out that the Player was not working correctly. I can only scroll up (no matter what direction I scroll it always moves up). Im not able to use any other options besides "All Tracks" because I cant scroll down to select them. My Volume is always at MAX because I cant lower it. I can still use the Fast-Forward and Re-Wind buttons. The Play/Pause button still works. So do the "Menu" and "Back" buttons. The only problem is the Scroll bar(or button whatever its called). It can tell when im touching it because it shows the volume that its at and it can still scroll (Like I said before,only up). Anyone know how to fix this without having to send it in? I dont have a warranty anymore.

Hmm, thats odd considering i dropped mine over 0 feet onto a concrete floor and it works fine, considering that it beeps every so often. Well, to your problem, have you tried recovering the player by taking the battery out, and turning the power on at the same time you are putting the battery in?
