Does the Zen Micro Photo 8GB have Jack Stick proble

As my title says, does the Zen Micro Photo 8GB have Jack Stick problems?
Some claims that Creative fixed this issue, and some claims that it still exists, does some of you have experienced problems with the ZMP?

Since there is no definiti've answer from Creative regarding this issue, I plan in the interim to keep my headphones plugged in as much as possible. My long term solution is to purchase (for approx $5.00) a 3.5 mm male/female headphone jack and use it as the sacrificial phone jack. This way I can remove my phones as much as I like. I am not going to take the chance. I think the long term solution is the way to go even if they fixed this problem. Over time the phone jack is going to loose some connectivity due to repetiti've use. This in turn creates an annoying audible noise picked up by your headphones. Just a thought.

  • Zen Micro Photo 8gb have headphone jack probl

    I am going to purchase a zen micro photo, but only if the headphone jack problem is fixed from the previous zen micro's. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

    I doubt that you'll get an *official* response to this as CL does not *officialy* have any problems with the headphone jacks on their units other than from *mishandling* or from a normal and small failure rate. As of now the official stance is that there's no problem to fix. Just keep checking back here. Looks like with the Micro the thread started jumping after about 3 months for the folks that purchased last January.
    Mine's about a month old now with no problems.

  • Does the Zen Micro have E

    I have a friend who is looking for a 5GB player, and he's trying to decide between the Dell Pocket DJ and the Zen Micro. I have recommended the Micro to him, but I'd like to know, does it have EAX?
    Also, if anyone knows, is there gonna be a 0GB version anytime soon?

    Google will take you to Creative's site
    In essence EAX is a number of different audio effects you can add to your music, like an EQ with an extra dimension.
    Personally I've never used it and have no desire to...

    MTP is a protocol. For our purposes it means that the driver should be included with WMP0. (...and that is the connection, you get the driver by installing WMP0.)

  • My Zen Micro Photo 8gb has gone m

    Hi all,?My Creative Zen micro Photo 8gb has gone a bit mad. It had a firmware update, and then wouldn't work. SO I hooked it up to the PC and nothing was happeneing. It tried to rebuild the library, but froze. So I followed tech suppourt, and formatted it, and lost all my music, and it wont do anything now. It gets to the Recovery Mde Screen, and does the following:?Clean Up: - Says it's cleaning up, but does nothing really. Format All: - Says formatting, and does so. Reload Firmware: NOW, here's the interesting one, I hook it up to download the firmware... AND the PC recognises it's plugged in, but the firmware application doesn't. Reboot: - Reboots straight into Recovery mode again!?Very frustrating. Can anyone help?Cheers

    Mine too! It completely froze to Recovery mode, I can't even turn it off! I had to take off the batteries and when I open it, it's stuck in there. I had it replaced by Creative Labs. Btw, I commend their tech support. The email support is fast and very responsi've. A RMA was issued to me and they were able to replace it in a matter of days. Then my 2nd player (refurbished one,what I got back) was working for 7 days when it froze again. then it says rebuilding library or something..but it won't finish loading. It was stuck to that page, cannot turn off, had to take off batteries again. I did this 5 times, since it failed to reload the library. Afterwards, it displayed Hardware Failure.
    Now, I'm currently waiting for their email feedback since I reported the problem again.
    My advice, let them know. Hope you can work yours out.

  • Does the Zen Micro hv tis features? Pls Hel

    Does the Zen Micro support chinese interface?.. Also, does it display songs' lyrics on playback? For example, coming with a tag for every songs.. Lastly, may I noe whether a microphone is needed for voice recording.. or can we juz speak directly into the player without using any other external hardware n everything tt has been said will be recorded?.. Thx.. =)

    Hello, Miss Catherina. I am honored by your attention and reply.
    You must know, Miss Catherina, we who buy your music players are not strictly music listeners. We love music and we love to sing along with our music. You seem to have small regard on this. In fact, it's one of the major features I am looking for in an Mp3 player. My answer might be displeasing if you would ask me why then did I buy a Creative Mp3 player if I knew it didn't have that feature. But I actually trust Creative much when it comes to sound quality and digital products. And if your Zen Micro just didn't really look that nice and cute. ;-) Anyway, I'm saying this LYRICS feature is really great--would be really great. And I'm not actually just saying a lyrics-display feature, I'm saying a TXT-VIEWING functionality, so you can read long .txt files on it from your Notepad. Your player would be as good as PalmPad, I think. Wouldn't you like that advantage? mpio's HD300 (and HD200 firmware upgradable) has that feature...
    Miss Catherina, I hope you can help us get this feature... PLEASE! We beg you.

  • Zen Micro Photo 8gb prob

    If you have WMP 0. Otherwise, make sure that you have MediaSource (although I prefer Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer, both of these come on the CD that came with your device).

  • What to buy? Does the Zen Sleek Photo have line-

    Hello,
    I am looking for a MP3 Player and recorder that has the following:
    . Quality line-in recording capabilities, preferably built in, but if not at least avaible through and attachment or something.
    2. Quality voice recording capibilities to MP3 files.
    3. Variable Sample Rate
    4. Variable Bit Rate
    5. A very good Signal to noise ratio.
    6. At least 2 gig (perferably much more) of dri've space.
    I am not so concerned about Radio capabilities.
    I am not so concerned about size and weight.
    I am mainly using the player/recorder to record classes that are hooked up to a stereo system (hence the
    need for quality line-in recording) as well as classes that are not hooked up to a audio system, hence the need for quality microphone recording.
    I want high quality recordings, but with some flexibilty regarding things like sample rate if file size becomes an issue.
    I would like not to have to constantly upload my recordings to my PC, hence the need for substantial dri've space.
    I am curious about the Creative Zen Sleek Photo (20 GB). It seemed to have a lot of what I was looking for. Is the bit rate adjustable and is there line-in recording for this model?
    Please let me know what products are avaible that have what I am looking for.
    Thank You, Ezra

    Nope, I havent seen any complaints about the MicroPhoto's headphone jack, and I have had no problems with mine.
    You should be fine with it. And keep your eyes open for the sales, I saw Best Buy selling the 8GB for $30.
    Good luck.

  • Does the Zen Micro Charger also work with the Zen Nee

    I can get a Zen Micro Charger for 20$ at my local Walmart, which is obviously better than the 35$ price online. But the main question is, will it work with my Neeon? Can it cause any sort of problems plugged into my neeon?

    USB adapters seem to be a law unto themselves. I have three, two for mobile phones, and one for the Micro. With the firmware update all three adapters work with the Micro, but the mobile phones will only work with their respecti've adapters.
    I'm not sure whether the Neeon is as straightforward as the Micro, so unless someone else has tried it you take a risk. I guess you can always buy and take it back if it doesn't work.

  • Thinkin about getting the Zen Micro Photo 4

    ya im thinkin of getting one but i had a question about it, and that is does this player have a hold button so that i can listen to music and run at the same time?

    Yep, it does have a hold button.
    But since It's a hard dri've player, you shouldn't subject it to shocks, but I've found running is ok.

  • When is the zen micro photo coming o

    when is it coming out in canada can someone please help me
    please
    please
    please!!!!!!!!!
    thanx

    I wouldn't wait if I were you... why should you put your life on hold for the ZMP?
    I got mine and was sorely dissappointed. Whenever I play photos, my mp3 music shuts off - so much for a MP3 player.
    That's because it can't play photos and music at the same time... so why call it a photo mp3 player?
    Only the iPod Nano can do that and moreover, the Nano can shuffle photos so you don't see the same pictures over and over again as in sequential mode. iPodders are having all the fun.
    But considering that the photo is $20 more with color display and 2 extra GBs, for an extra $20 over the 6GB version makes sense.
    But if you really truly want a multimedia player (plays more than one media at a time), you can write creative and request they do that and ask all your friends to do the same... that way, they'll get the message and make a firmware update... or you can just get a Nano and it's available now - no waiting!
