Backing Up Zen Mirco- Huge Prob

When I try to back up my Zen Micro in media source to a folder, everything is duplicated! First it transfers the mp3s in order of artist, then it transfers the mp3s in alphabetical order! (For example, my Rush CD is transfered, then the individual mp3s are listed later. It says that I have 448 files, but there are only 9 when I delete the duplicates, and some mp3s won't transfer (My AFI albums, Black Sabbath, Coheed and Cambria).
I am trying to install firmware, but I cannot do it without first backing up my hard dri've! What is wrong with this?

My advice would be to start over. It should only copy one set of tracks, assuming you're doing a normal transfer. There's a thread here on how to backup the player.

Zen mirco filmware prob

My zen mirco have this filmware problem, this is the second time i am having this problem, i did update the filmware for both time but i don't know why i have this problem, i don't this problem to keep appearing, my friend doesn't seem to have this problem yet. Pls help......

If you get firmware problem very frequently, 3 or more times, I would say the player is faulty. My guess is that a faulty hard disk causes the firmware problem message to appear, although it can appear rarely through some form of hard disk corruption.
I would try reloading the firmware and formatting the player. If it happens after this, then contact Support.

Zen Mirco recording prob

Hi I?m using my Zen Micro to record my study lesson once a week. Found out 2 strange problems, after I?ve played my saved record.
<SPAN>)<SPAN> Every 0-20 minutes interval, it halts for -2 sec (no sound) and continue to play. My record file is about hr plus.
<SPAN>2)<SPAN> Something it output sound give me a weird noise from the background but in reality there isn?t any noise as far i?m aware.
Current FW version is .02.05.
What could be the problem? Please advice.
Thanks.

The halting is interesting. I remember a problem before, with one of the MuVos I think, where it seemed to be reaching a buffer point then saving to memory causing a similar momentary blip. I've not tried recording yet with my Micro.

Zen Mirco loading prob

I just bought my Zen Micro yesterday. I was very excited and hurried home to start downloading to my Zen. After I loaded all of the software and everything, I tried to transfer mp3's to the device and most of them would not transfer because it said that I did not have a liscence to transfer or something of the sort. I know that if I did not PURCHASE the song, it would not transfer, but I am sure there is a way around this. Can someone please let me know how?

Well I'm sure they were illegal if they were downloaded off of Limewire for free.
Discussing illegal music here will most likely get the thread locked, just to warn you. Not by me though, I'm not a moderator on this board, and I don't work for Creative.
I was trying to transfer them with the Creative software.
I think we need a little more info. Exactly what software you were using, how you were going about it, what the files are (MP3 or WMA) and what errors appear.
Do you think that there would be a problem if I transferred my CDs to the computer and then to my MP3 player? How would you go about doing that?
Very easy. Just rip the CD direct to the player using MediaSource. There are more complex ways if you're after very high fidelity ri
ps.

Would I have to subscribe to somewhere like Napster to be able to download files and transfer them?
If you want to get music from an online store, yes.

Transfer recordings from Zen Mirco to

Hello. I've had my Zen Micro for about nine months now, and I've been pleased with the player overall despite it freezing up a few months back and me sending my old player back and getting it replaced.
But anyway to my question:
I've used my Zen Mirco to record some audio using the built in microphone, and now I need to get it onto my computer. When the player is plugged in, I see it in Windows Explorer and I can see the wav file that was recorded, but I'm unable to do anything with the file except delete it; I can't move it onto my computer, which is where I want it.
Is there any way to get the recorded file from the player onto my computer?
Thanks,
Billy.

hi dude, just bought my micro zen so not sure about this, but i noticed that when i copy the mp3 files and i disconnect and reconnect it, i cant see the files of my zen micro in the explorer, but i start to copy other mp3 to micro zen, all my files suddenly show up, maybe you can try that.

Zen mirco question..H

I was thinking about buying a zen mirco 5GB but not of some stuff..
If i copy a cd to my computere i can put it onto my mirco right, very simple and easy i assume? And it says 250 songs MP3 and WMA 2500 songs, what is WMA? does it sound worse? how would you convert mp3 to it's Thanks

adam234 wrote:I was thinking about buying a zen mirco 5GB but not of some stuff.. If i copy a cd to my computere i can put it onto my mirco right, very simple and easy i assume?
It's a case of starting the Creative software, putting the CD in the PC, then encoding it onto the player. There are other methods also.
And it says 250 songs MP3 and WMA 2500 songs
Don't let the marketing blurb fool you too much. This is 250 MP3 songs at 28kbit/s, and 2500 WMA songs at 64kbit/s.
MP3s at 28kbit/s do not equal WMAs at 64kbit/s, despite Microsoft (the inventors of WMA) saying so.
Also MP3s at 28kbit/s might not even be to your liking in quality terms. I would recommend encoding at 92kbit/s, but if you want to take the time then try different bit-rates for yourself and see what you prefer.
Music encoding is a huge topic, and there's plenty to learn about it. For example using other programs and encoders, which may give you a better result than Creative's software.
what is WMA? does it sound worse? how would you convert mp3 to it's Thanks
WMA as mentioned is by Microsoft (Windows Media Audio). It's basically Microsoft's answer to MP3, only it offers things like licensing which is very appealing to Online Music Stores.
Converting between compressed digital music formats (transcoding) is a bad idea, as they all use a different method to compress. The more you convert and compress the more quality you lose. It's always best to encode direct from the CD.

Does anyone know if my iphone 5s contents are backed up automatically within icloud. Because i need to take back to factory setting and prob will lose everything on my phone

Does anyone know if my iphone 5s contents are backed up automatically within icloud. Because i need to take back to factory setting and prob will lose everything on my phone

If iCloud Backup is turned on in Settings->iCloud->Backup
The iPhone will backup automatically, when its plugged in, locked, and connected to Wifi.
So if you let it charge while connected to wifi recently for a few hours and did not use it, it probably backed up.
If you can still access the iPhone, you can check the date of the last iCloud backup in Settings->iCloud->Backup

Zen Mirco Format

Hello,
I bought a new computer over the summer and I wanted to setup my zen mirco with the new computer. I decided to format the micro so that I could put new music on it and what not. I ended up deleting the firmware, so now when it loads up it says:
"Firmware Problem"
then immediately into a menu that has these options:
. Clean up
2. Format All
3. Relaod Firmware
4. Reboot
so far, I have tried each of those options, reloaded the drivers onto my computer, reloaded the software that came with the player, and downloaded a new firmware and tried reloading it onto the player.
any suggestions?
thanks!

Yes, I have tried everything from resetting to reformating and still the problem remians. I don't know what could have happened to it. It was working perfectly until this somehow happened. Has anyone else recieved this problem? Thanks.

Zen Vision M 30gb huge prob

This is the second time this has happened to my Zen Vision M player, everything works fine on it for a couple of months and then the screen starts having issues. (I don't mistreat my player or leave it on for huge amounts of time or watch videos on it - for the record)
The issue I had to begin with was when it was booting up the screen had lines across it and the picture was grainy and weak, but on the menu screens everything looked fine.
I just turned my player on today and the problem had spread to the menu.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can it be fixed or what should I do?

If you need more information i'd be willing to read out the information from the player or record a video of my zen being booted up so you could see what the problem is.

HUGE Zen Micro Music Prob

Ok...i've had this problem practically since day ...i got it for x-mas. Everytime i add a song...it doubles it. Just recently...i added 57 songs. I look on the list...on my computer...and GUESS WHAT?!?! 44 (ish) songs...woohoo. What do i do?
Please dont say delete each double...that will take WAY TOO LONG!

sorry..it was clear in my head ;-)
I just meant that all i'm doing is the ripping phase. i am not moving the tracks to the zen device, just ripping cd tracks to my laptop. is use zen micro explorer for the ripping phase; notmad will not rip cd's. ultimately, i would transfer to the device using notmad. BUT, the duplicates show in the library immediately upon ripping the cd. it does not happen when i download a song, only when the tracks go into the library from a cd. Ideas?
Not life-threatening, but certainly annoying.

Creative zen mirco touch pad prob

My creative?ZM?turns on &?plays music fine?BUT i cant use the?scroll or touch pad, meaning i cant change song,change playlist, press play/pause, change volume etc. its like the lock is on but its not.will someone please help asap!! I have no idea what to do. x

I'd suggest a Zen Wired Remote. It'd be a lot easier than taking the Zen apart and trying to fix it.

Zen Neeon Questions/Prob

I bought a zen neeon recently, but when it arri'ved the LOCK button doesn't work. Also the menus are really really slow, and there's no way I can find to get it to display the artist name for my songs. The FM tuner doesn't seem to pick any stations up either, I've put it on the desk next to another radio which works okay.
I ran all the updates on it, but nothing has helped. I'm really miffed, it's like 2 weeks old.
I li've in Japan so I have to post here to find if these things are normal or if they've shipped me some broken or test model by mistake.
I got someone to phone their support (who speaks Japanese, but not so great English), who said send it back for repair or to get a refurbished one, but really I want my money back, cos it looks like i've been done. I really don't want a refurbished or repaired one either, cos I've had it like a WEEK! If I'd wanted 2nd hand I'd have gone to ebay and paid a lot less!
I really want my money back but I suspect they'll only let me RMA it. Does Creative have a worldwide policy on refunds?
I googled for firmware upgrades and found some mentions, my player has .0.0.5 according to its menu. I've seen mention of other numbers but nothing in creative america or creative japan websites. I ran the auto update tool but it says there's nothing new (tried both again, america and japan).
Any ideas, or have I just lost a huge chunk o' money?

hi,my name is Jessie, i bought a Zen Neeon from Hong Kong,but i li've in UK and it just started frozing today but i have never dropped it or damage it......i got really depressed
can you speak japanese?

Zen Micro TouchPad Prob

hey, i've had my silver 5gb mirco since june, and i am very happy with its performance, except...when i first turn on my mirco, the touchpad is very un-responsi've (i have to press harder than i should). But after the micro runs for about 30 seconds, it goes back to its normal good responsi've player...and, i have the TouchPad Sensitivity on High, which is where i want it...any ideas? thanks
Owner: 5gb Silver Zen Micro

I find this can happen when the player is "busy", that is shifting around tracks etc. It just takes a second or two to respond to the button press.
You should definitely try the latest firmware if you haven't already.
