DJ Queuing (Zen Micro) - Solved (thanks fred_be930

At the moment, you can't queue the entire contents of "Most Popular" and "Rarely Heard" tracks directly, whereas you can queue "Album of the Day" and "Random Play All" by just pressing Play or select on the Touchpad.
I would like to see the same for "Most Popular" and "Rarely Heard".
So just to reiterate, I would like to be able to press Play with the Zen Micro DJ over "Most Popular" and "Rarely Heard" and have the entire list go into the queue. Not have to queue them individually.

Actually, I think there is to some extent a workaround. (tested on .02.05)
As you indicated, when you select "Album of the Day" and "Random Play All", those songs are played. Actually, your current queue is wiped out, and the new songs are queued and played. I don't think you can add these "DJ" lists to an existing queue.
Anyway, the same is possible for the other 2, except it's not (entirely) intuiti've.
Just select e.g. "Most popular" (tap on the slider, because "play" on the item doesn't work). You arri've in a list of 20 songs. Now you can use the "options" button to enqueue them one by one or selecti'vely.
BUT IF YOU PRESS PLAY at this stage (on any song), the 20 songs are enqueued, and play is started at the song that was highlighted when you pressed.
Same for "Rarely Heard". I think the same holds when you are in the Library > Album > song list.
Now if Creative would like to transfer a small 6-digit $-sum to my account for taking care of this firmware enhancement for them, that's ok ;-)

Is Zen Micro display customisable? (No album inf

Hi!
I ordered a Zen Micro and I've set all my ID3 tags and create some playlists in WMP0. I have one big possible problem : All my MP3 have ID3 Tag (Artist - Title) info. but half of them don't have Album information.
Can you set up the display so that I don't see Album info while in Play mode? Can it cause problems, if I don't have Album info? I hope I can do this, so I don't have the see the UNKNOWNline when playing songs
I can't wait to have my Zen Micro!
Thanks,
Eric Lanteigne

You can't change the display.
Lack of album information will only be a problem if you want to use it in the Music Library to identify and queue the tracks.

New Zen Micro is detected by windows but not software - I have NOT done firmware upda

Hi, I just bought a brand new Zen Micro. The software installation went fine.
After plugging in the unit to my USB port, a message appears on the windows taskbar saying "Nomad Jukebox 2/3/Zen Detected".
I would assume this is the normal message. I then attempt to transfer files via Creative Mediasource. Howerver when I load up the creative mediasource software, I get an error message saying "Player is not connected". Naturally of course the Zen Micro is indeed connected. I can not transfer any files and the player locks up.
I have not updated the firmware or anything, it is a fresh out of the box brand new unit. I run Windows mediaplayer 0, windows XP (SP).
Is there a way to resolve this issue, or am I doing something wrong?
Please help a new zen micro user thanks in advance!

I also Just, few hours back fully charged my Micro and got it working. I downlaoded the latest firmware released in Feburary. But i decided il only use it if something was wrong with the player. Mine went smooth....
Fully charged it while installing the software on the CD, unplugged the AC, I didn't sue the White USB cable it came with (lots of people say tis crap) So i sued my Sony Digicam USB cable which is always connected to my pc anyway.
Plugged my player into the USB cable while the player was On.
Done.... Windows Xp Pro detected it, 2 icons in My Computer popped up, One was the shortcut to the media source software and one was the player itself kinda liek a removable dri've.
My firmware is .0.30 and opening Widnows Media player 0, and hit Synch Tab, my player responded, and said Docked. And within 5 minutes most of my music was on....
I dotn get how some othe rpeoples players are playign up so much.
Maybe only people who have problems ever post so it seems like everyones having a problem. lol
Oh and i would recommend not to do a firmware update unless soemthings wrong wiht ur player. I wont risk it if i were you.

Zen Micro - copying WMA files with DRM using WM

I have Windows 98SE and Windows Media Player 9. I was wondering, if I get a Zen Micro, will I be able to use WMP 9 to copy DRM-protected WMA files to my device, or do I have to use the Creative software? I read in another post something about the 2.x branch of the firmware being needed for Plays For Sure compatibility -- does this mean I would need this firmware to use WMP? Does the 2.x firmware have the fixes for the battery drain problem, etc.
One more question. With my Muvo TX FM, Windows Explorer recognizes it as a removable dri've, and I can drag-and-drop non-DRM MP3s directly to it. Is this possible with the Zen Micro?
Thanks,
Huck

Zen Micro and Vista - I can't install my Zen! Please he

I have a Zen Micro that I bought back in 2004 and have been running it with no problems whatsoever on my old Windows 2000 machine. I have just bought a new computer with Windows Vista, and I can't get Vista to successfully install the Zen software or recognise my Zen. Every time I attach the unit to my computer I get the "found new hardware" message, and Vista asks me to supply the software that came with the unit. When I insert the CD, the computer scans if for a bit,?then says it can't find the drivers and aborts the installation. Any hints / tips on getting Vista to recognis my Zen Micro?Thanks in advance!

I experienced the same problems in Vista with 2 different Zen Micros on firmware 2.2.02. I tried everything and then when I tried another Vista computer it WORKED right away! This made me sure that it was the Vista computer and nothing else. All that happens is the Vista computer tries to look on Windows Update and doesn't find the drivers so prompts you to insert the install disc. Those not connected to the Internet at the time don't have the problem.
SOLUTION:
When prompted to insert the install disc all you need to do is the following:
Click "Show Other Options"
Choose to look in a folder on the computer
Enter c:\Windows
Wait for it for find the driver, thats IT! This also worked for my external DVD-RW which had the same problem.
Happy Zen'ing!

Zen Micro lose Power when Switched OFF??

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as me. I fully charged my Zen Micro last night and then left it and just switch it on for the first time now (8 hours later), and the battery indicator shows 2 bars left?
Seems like the Zen Micro loses power even when switched off!?!
Can anyone confirm that this is the case and whether I can do anything to stop it from happening? Is this normal with Hard Dri've MP3 player or only with the Zen Micro?
Thanks.

<EDIT: (April st, 2005):<JazzMC has taken the initiati've and written a sort of FAQ and put together a website with all the information to date gathered in one place regarding this power drain of the Zen Micro while off (in standby). It's a great read for those who want more information about the subject and probably easier than wading through this thread.You can view the document by clicking here: <Zen Micro Power Loss<. Thanks JazzMC!
Ditto here. I did do a disk cleanup last week and the micro seems to be holding it's charge longer now. It's still draining the battery while sitting idle though according to the bar indicator, but slower (go figure?). This is my only real issue with the Zen Micro as I love it otherwise!
One wierd thing I noticed was I charged it full then left it sit for about 3 days (checking it off and on) then on day 3 it was at one bar. So I plugged it into my home sterio and turned it on to see how long it would play for. I was really surprised to see it last a few minutes shy of 9 hours...
Could this be a battery calibration thing instead of it just loosing charge? Like the meter misreads the batteries actual charge over time instead of it loosing power?
Donno it's wacky, please fix Creative!

Just 5 questions about the Zen Micro Ph

HiJust 5 Q's about that player which i hope i get clear answers 4 'emcan i buy the charger designed for the original Zen Micro 2 be used with this player? if not, is there an additional charger i can buy ?2) How much time it takes the player 2 charge from the USB port and how much does it take in case of using a charger?3) Can i simply plug the player in my PC's USB and boot up windows XP 2 see the player simply as an additional dri've without the need of any special drivers or programs so that i transfer files between my PC and the player with simple drag and dropping4) Can i transfer non-media files (books - programs...etc) using the same method in question 3 without having 2 set up first a dedicated space on the player 4 receiving such files (<--- This is the way which has 2 be done with the old Zen Micros)5) Any dedicated volume control on it yet or it still misses it like old Zen Micros ?THANKS A LOT

Hi Catherina - thx 4 the reply but yr answer implies that the old Zen Micro can be seen in windows explorer directly as an additonal dri've and this contradicts all the reviews i have read about that in order to transfer non-media files to the player, i have 2 either use the bundled program "Zen Media Explorer" or the firmware itself (in case i am not allowed 2 install software on some computer i wanna transfer files from or to) but i was speaking about plugging the player simply in the USB to be detected by XP, assigned to it a dri've letter and then i can start copying files from/to it right away without any additional extra software installed or anything i must configure on the player itself. IMHO, this is how the MP3 players should behave 4 extra simplicity and ease of use
SUGGESTION: can u plz make video clips showing how 2 use the player in all aspects. I have seen that with the iri'ver players where some people (i am not sure if those people are the guys @ iri'ver themselves or just some fans) have posted numerous video clips showing the iri'ver player in all aspects so the end user like me feel like he is using the player in his hands even if he/she hasn't purchased it yet - something that will be very effecti've on people's decision purchase. Wish to see video clips showing all aspects of the Zen Micro player and may be other players

Zen micro... please read and ans

Hi
For an apple ipod there is something called an ihome audio. Which is a clock/ alarm clock and u can listne to ur ipid while charging it... Is there anything like that for a zen micro.. From any brand. Like ihome isnt from apple its just made for apple.. Anyone know anything like that for a zen micro?
Thanks

There's nothing identical that I'm aware of.
The Zen Micro Traveldock is about as similar as you'll get, but doesn't have a clock. Of course the Micro has an alarm built-in.

Zen Micro USB connection problem solv

I've been having a major problem getting my Zen Micro to work with my Dell Dimension 2400 which I understand has been causing many people the same problem - I had various posts about this on the old forums.
To recap, the problem was that XP would detect the device but WMP0 would say that there was no device attached (even though it was visible in device manager) - the Zen MTP would also not recognise it's presence even though I had the plays-for-sure firmware installed.
After lots of searching I finally found a solution and here it is:
Run REGEDIT and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet, right click the key called ENUM and select "Permissions"
On my machine, I had a group called "Administrators" and "SYSTEM" but that's all. Click "Add" and add a new group called "Everyone" (just type it in and click "OK" to return).
Highlight the new "Everyone" group and in the lower box check the box marked "Read" - this will ensure that all users have read access to this registry hi've.
That's it - it worked for me and I'm delighted at being able to use the Zen properly now, hope this helps someone else.
Normal caveats apply, so please be careful if you make changes to the registry.

does the usb cable not charge aswell i think it does try taking the battery out and then pluggin the usb cable in . gill
I did that as well. Heres what happens. I take the battery out. I then plug in the USB cable and reinsert the battery. The title screen comes up and then goes to the next screen which just says "Creative" then locks up. The battery charging icon in the upper right corner does not flash to indicate that it is actually charging. I will leave it in this state for the next hour or so to see if it does anything for the battery. I suppose if I had a seperate battery charger unit, the unit would work normally. This is just a guess as I have not yet tried it.
Thanks

Zen Micro(Original/Color) Headphone Jacks: Finally Solved or N

I haven't been to these forums in a very, very long time. The last time I was here was when Creative barely released the Zen Micro Photo onto the market. I have the original zen micro without color screen and I was wondering if the infamous headphone jack issue has been fixed permenently on either of them. Have they?

2 months ago i sent in my Zen Micro 6GB player for that particular problem. I bought it in November '05. Nope, they still don't know how to make a working headphone jack.
Wow no kidding eh? Has anyone bought a Zen Micro during 06 that has this problem?

My PC won't recognize Zen Micro- please h

I have Windows 98 on an older PC, and am planning on buying a new computer later this year. I received the Zen Micro as a Xmas gift but am just now getting around to loading songs onto it (so my free service is expired). It's supposed to be Windows 98 compatible but the MediaSource won't recognize the player. I downloaded WMP series 9, and it will sometimes not recognize the Micro at all, sometimes recognize it but freeze up when I choose the device, sometimes freeze up when I try to open the Music folder within the Micro, and about in 20 attempts it will recognize the device perfectly and transfer mp3's (after having to be continuously rebooted). I have used my Zen Micro on other computers with Windows XP with no problems at all. Short of shelving my player for 6 mos until I get a new computer with XP or Longhorn, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion. Although I didn't download new drivers, after speaking with the motherboard manufacturer I went and bought an external powered USB dri've. This didn't really help, so I tried buying a new USB PCI card. Now it works perfectly. I guess there's a problem with my old USB port. Anyway, the tip indirectly solved my problem so thanks.

so can someone be gentle to explain step by step how to upgrade the firmware(i have the .0.03)like Zen micro For DUMMIES
please!
thanks everybody

Take a look of the site below:
http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/...%20Zen%20Micro

Any more question just ask...good luck.

Zen Micro starts with blue backlight and then fades to blank scr

My 2 year old Zen Micro which has had little use and few recharge cycles will neither charge, play music, or connect to my computer. I am hoping a battery replacement is all that is needed but hate to buy one if these symptoms don't sound like a bad battery. I have pulled the battery to "reset" it with no benefit. While plugged in I can hear the touch responsi've keys click but the screen is blank besides the charge logo and I get nothing when it is unplugged. It won't be recognized by my computer (Vista and new to the player) so I can't scan the hard dri've. Does this sound like a battery issue or are there other steps to try before replacing the battery. I contacted Creative and all they said was send it in and they will charge me no more than $35 for replacement if the repair is greater. If I had an iPod, they would look at it, swap a battery, and it'swould get solved in one minute at the in-store Genius desk. Thanks in advance.

kind of hard to understand your message but i think i get the general idea.....it should say that until its charged........
