Experiencing some problems after updating Zen Micro Media Explo

I downloaded this update: Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB) (3 Jul 05)
And now the Create a new playlist in device option is not available.
Also, when I click Organize Music In Device, the following message comes up (but it still works ok, just a bit worried about the error message): Windows cannot find 'C:Program Files\Creative\Creative Zen Micro\Zen Micro Media Explorer\CTJBPlay.exe' etc...
What's wrong?
Answers to both questions would be greatly appreciated.

Try these few things.....
- Connect ur micro before u insert the CD
2 - Try reinstalling the program, which should normally do the trick
3 - Update your firmware. (not sure if that will help)
4 - Try to rip cds that are only copyrighted (rip only original cds that u get in stores)

Updated Zen Micro Media Explo

I've just updated to the newer zen micro media explorer, so that I could use it with my newly updated firmware. But now I find the explorer missing alot of stuff that was there in the old one? What happened to the neat sorting by artist/genre/album boxes to the left? Right now it just displays the list of mp3s as files, how am I suppose to edit and reorganize my music?
Someone help?
Thanx

For MediaSource to detect your PlaysForSure firmware Zen Micro, you have to download and install "Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)". However, it will not have the Genre/Artist/Album windows. That is the nature of PlaysForSure firmware whereby the track listing is by directories.

[MICRO] Zen Micro Media Explo

When i try to transfer music files with Zen Micro Media Explorer (with the "import music" function) to my Zen Micro, it always says the tranfer is failed. But the player IS recognized by the program.
Also i know it is not my usb-cable or the files i try to transfer, because when i try it with WMP0 it works fine. As i think WMP0 is not as convenient as Zen Micro Media Explorer, i would like to fix it. Anyone has an idea? (Creative MediaSource works fine too)

Downgrade to firmware version .0.03 and uninstall any software you have and start from the CD. Then re-install the Zen Media Explorer from CD. It should be fine.
You could also download the update for the Zen Media Explorer with firmwares that have PlayForSure technology. Updates are here

WHY WON'T CREATIVE ZEN MICRO MEDIA EXPLORER RECOGNIZE MY ZEN MI

I am wanting to start transfering music over from my laptop to my zen micro.
I try go into Zen Micro Media Explorer and it says this: The device is not connected. Please connect your zen micro to the computer.
My zen micro is connected and it says "docked" on the screen.
When I connect it to my laptop with the usb cable it makes the connection sound and MTP Media screen pops up giving me 2 options: syncronise files to this device using Windows Media Player or to take no action. Shouldn't the micro media explorer option pop up here too?
How can i solve this?

No problem
It's better to direct folks to the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post, which takes them here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net. This has the full set of help that has worked to-date with solving MTP problems.

Zen Micro - Problems with Zen Micro Media Explo

I've successfully installed the Zen Media Explorer and Media Source. I've used Zen Media explorer at work just fine but seem to be missing something on my home desktop. Everything in Media Explorer seems to work except for the "Rip Audio CD Tracks to Device" mode. When I select this feature in the main menu screen, it says insert audio cd in dri've, which I do. Then it says cd detected...but then all of the sudden I get a new dialog box that says "Error: Unable to load database component. The program will now exit." Has anyone else seen this? This is quite annoying as I have it working just fine at work and I think this is the most seamless method of getting cds tracks onto my micro....
Thanks for any help you can provide...

Zen Micro not recognised using zen micro media explo

Hi?get the error "device not connected" when I use the above facility,even though IT IS plugged in with the USB cable?Player is recognised in Windows Media Player. Any ideas ??Thanks??

The problem will be the same I would think because the issue is that the player is an older one, so WMP does not recognise it. Unless they change it in te full version, which is probably only a slim chance, you will still need to download the hotfix and the other update.
But if i were you i wait for the full version anyway, the Beta 2 is better but still far from perfect...

Creative Zen Micro 6GB/Problems with Power Switch and Firmw

The power switch on my Zen Micro has died. I can't turn it on or off unless I 'jump start' it from a USB cable and leave it alone to go into idle shutdown. I've had this player just three weeks and this is happened and frankly I'm disgusted. But wait, my story get's worse:
So before sending it back to Creative I thought that I should at least exhaust every possible cure. First on my list? A Firmware upgrade to v2.22.05. I downloaded the program and set about installing the new firmware but halfway through the process it hung and I had to end it prematurely. Now what I had was a ZM that apparently had v2.22.05 but was not being recognised at all by my computer. Media Explorer wasn't picking up on it and neither was WMP although strangely when I connect the device it's there in the Device Manager...
So, check back with the website and it said to download an update for Mediasource and that should solve the problem. Downloaded the patch but then realised that I hadn't installed Mediasource on my computer (can't remember why I didn't though). Went back to the downloads page and downloaded Mediasource. Tried to install it but I can't. The reason? because my computer isn't detecting the ZM and I can't install it until it recognises that it's there.
As a last resort I thought that I would try to use 'Rescue Mode'. Seemed simple enough, remove the battery and hold down the power switch. Then put the battery back in and wait for the rescue screen to come up. Seems easy enough. Oh wait, I don't have a working power switch.
What I do have though, is a small piece of plastic and metal that I can't turn on, can't turn off, can't put any songs on, can't listen to, can't fix and can't be bothered with. I have a ?60 paperweight.
Anyone at all have any idea what I should do? I just want to put it all in a box and send it back to Amazon with a request for a full refund or a threat to take them to the Small Claims Court.

Although a failed power switch is not unknown, I only recall seeing two or three other cases of this. It's not common.
If WMP isn't working with the device having v2 firmware something is wrong. Unfortunately this can be difficult to fix, but take a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
MediaSource won't detect the player if there's some issue e.g. WMP0 not detecting it. You can of course also try installing Zen Micro Media Explorer (Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update to be specific) which has MTP support.
Are you are presumably under guarantee, and as you bought from an Internet store, it's best to return it direct to Creative. Contact Creative Support to arrange this.

Major audio problems with Creative Zen Micro 6Gb... need h

I have had this device for about a year and a half. about a month or 2 ago, there has been problems with the headphone jack. If the base of the headphone cord (all 20 of them i tested) moved, the audio will either go mono-tone, or play a signle layer of the audio file, or no audio at all. although when applying pressure to it, it will play well. I do NOT want to not go hands free just to enjoy my music, so please help me out!

Creative zen micro transfer prob

When using Napster to transfer songs to my zen micro mp3 player the following happens.
License storgae is not working.Contact microsoft product support.
When I hit click here for more information nothing happens.
It has worked previously without any problems! Can anybody help??

Here is a list of things to check:
) Confirm you have Windows Media Player 0 installed on your XP SP or later system.
2) Confirm your Zen Micro has the latest 2.x firmware (2..02 Beta or later). The .x firmware does not support N2G. Download the 2..02 Beta firmware from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads
3) Confirm KB8922 "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players" is installed on your XP SP or later system with WMP 0. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;8922 for details.
4) Confirm your Zen Micro's system time is synched to the system time of your computer.
5) Confirm XP and the Napster client recognize your Zen Micro is connected. It should display under the "Portable Device" object in the "Library" window of the Napster client. The Zen Micro Display should read "Docked". See if you can transfer files using WMP 0. Confirm the Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer version .00. ( http://us.creative.com/support/downloads ) can access your Zen Micro. Can it transfer tracks to the device?
6) Confirm your firewall is not interfering with the connection to Napster or to the internet for current date and time. Consider disabling firewall, Antivirus, and Spyware Scanners as a diagnostic step to troubleshoot your transfer issue.
7) Consider reinstalling Windows Media Player 0 and KB8922.
8) Check the USB cable connection. Determine the USB chipset on your system. There are forum threads where users resolved transfer problems by installing a new USB Adapter with a different chipset or determined the problem was the USB cable. You can also troubleshoot by attempting the transfer on another computer (if available).

I have a Creative Zen Micro 2nd hand withno CDwith it. Now I have problem uploading and downloadingthe song onto the player.What software should i be using and where to download

What version of Windows do you have?
I use firmware version ..0 on my 5 Gb Zen Micro on one of my older computers running WinME.
I use Zen Micro Media Explorer as I find it simple to use, but Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 works too.
If you're running XP, Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update (48.24 MB or Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB) should work for you.
