Does Zen Micro avoid duplicate songs in a playli

Suppose I have a playlist with 00 songs in it already in the Zen Micro. I make another playlist and this one has some of
the same songs in it that the first playlist does. Does the software not allow the duplicate songs
to be placed in the new playlist or do I wind up with duplicates in the new playlist? In this example
I would be loading new songs to the Zen Micro, not creating a new playlist from songs already
in the Zen Micro.
I just purchased a Zen Micro and am just learning how to use it.
Thanks for your help,
Hillcountry

The playlist can have duplicates in it, of course playlists are just shortcuts to tracks so you aren't creating duplicate physical files on the player.
Notmad Explorer?has a function for removing duplicates from playlists.

  • (Zen Micro) Listening to songs whilst connected to PC

    not sure if this is normal but i've just (for the first time) tried listening to songs on my Zen Micro whilst it is connected to the PC (Windows XP)... everything was fine until i tried using the Internet... everytime i type a web address URL into the address bar the Micro switches to docking mode and the song sto
    ps.
    I disconnected and reconnected... now i just get the "docked" icon and can't access anything else on the player...

    don't try to play it while it's hooked up to the usb. it's got a calendar organizer function that syncs to outlook so even if you're not using it, when you hook up your usb, your Micro wants to talk to outlook and not play your music. also, anytime it's connected to the pc, it wants to talk to your pc, expecially if you are using explorer. i recommend using the ac adapter to charge if you want to listen to and avoid the USB if you want to listen, just my $.02
    i suppose what would be nice is if there was a way to manually dismount the dri've while it's still hooked up to usb but that's for the techs at creative to figure out.

  • Does Zen micro power adapter charge Zen Vision

    i tied the good old power adapter on my Vision M but it seemed to charge it...a little...but then it didn't do anything so i'm wondering if i just need to try it again or does it not work period...

    i just happened to look in the instruction manual that came with the VM and it says absolutely nothing about NOT powering it through the AC adapter that was previously provided with the Zen Micro, not that i'm gonna lose sleep over it but why can't that power adapter charge the vision M?

  • ZEN micro: problem with song/album/title/genre renaming after update - pls he

    hi!
    after updating my zen micro to the new firmware (playforsure) and the necessary software update of the media source organizer - i wasn?t able to rename the title on the player - like before the update: it'ss only possible to rename them one by one and not e.g. a full album (genre).
    BTW: why has the user interface changed that much - all songs i?ve arranged before the update had to be rearranged and that isn?t possible anymore in the way it was before...
    thx

    You can try these two:
    http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html
    http://www.snapfiles.com/get/godfather.html
    If they're not to your liking, try Google. These are not the only ones, but they're good (and free). Tag & Rename is also very good, but it costs a few bucks.

  • Does Zen Micro Explorer esit for Micro Pho

    i really don't like the software thatcame with my Micro Photo. Will the explorer software work with the Micro Photo?

    I was able to answer my own question, and confirmed what one other person in this forum had found out: the charger for the Zen Micro does in fact work for the Zen V Plus. Creative acknowledges this as well--in the current ads on their website, they are selling Zen Micro chargers for $9.99, and a footnote says that they work with the Zen V Plus, Zen MicroPhoto, and Zen Neeon.

  • Zen Micro Crashes After Song Trans

    after i have finished transferring songs for windows media to my micro, and then i disconnect it (even when the white arrow screen shows), it crashes and i have to remove the battery. awhile ago it wasnt even transferring, anybody else having similar problems or a solution? pls help

    Tried a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
    Can you check with another PC to see if you get the same problem?

  • Zen Micro: Re-ordering tracks in a playli

    Hi. I love my new Zen Micro, there is just one thing that I haven't worked out with it yet.
    Can you, and how do you, change the order of tracks in a playlist, and in the Now Playing playlist screen? I just want to be able to move a single track up or down in the list. I remember being able to do this with my old old Zen USB2.0 by just choosing 'move' or something like that after pressing the menu button. No such thing seems to be in the menu on the Micro.
    If it turns out that this is not a current feature, may I make a polite request that it be implemented in a future firmware release? I'd think it'd be a pretty simple thing to add, and without it, the ability to create playlists on the fly is a bit crippled, don't you think?
    Thanks.

    <EM>"may I make a polite request that it be implemented in a future firmware release?"</EM>
    <EM></EM>
    just wondering... I just got a Zen Micro, and have only visited these forums for days...
    I've seen a few other folks in these forums request, demand, suggest that functions be added to firmware updates.
    Is Creative actually in the habit of adding ANY additional functionality to any existing product, through firmware? Or do they just save those ideas for new products, and make us buy those instead?
    trying to be the realist - looking for historical behaviour ;-)

  • Zen micro-music library. songs in alphabetical or

    Weneva i put music on it, its all stored in alphabetical order of the song title and not the artist. how do i change this? this might not be the best thread youve ever read but i need help on it. so please reply

    errr, no it doesn't. not for me, not right now. i browse to the album name, and hit play (which USUALLY plays them by number) but it's playing them ALPHA. for every album on my micro. and they all have complete id3 tags with track numbers, etc.....

  • Why does my iphone have duplicate songs with an icon?

    Recently I've noticed something on my iPhone.  Maybe it's been there all along, who knows.  But here's the deal: if I buy an album on iTunes for Mac, and sync my iPhone, the album on he phone looks bizarre:
    As you can see, there's a duplicate of each track, with a circle icon.  If I try and play this circle icon, it tells me I need to be connected to WiFi or something.
    Points of note:
    1. Under "Store" in the iPhone settings, I've turned off automatic downloads of everything.  I found that if this was enabled, my iPhone would download new music and would get a second copy sync'd by iTunes.  Fail for iTunes/iPhone recognising the same album I guess..?
    2. Every so often, my iPhone is now asking me for my Apple ID password - no special reason I can see,it just pops up and asks me.  This might be related.
    3. I haven't purchased/turned on iTunes Match anywhere (iCloud).
    I'm wondering if it's got spectacularly confused somewhere, if it thinks maybe it should be streaming this album from my Mac, or downloading it from the Store, even if it's already got a copy.
    How can I make it stop?  It's annoying in the extreme.  Sure, it's not as bad as not having food on the table, pretty much a first world problem,but not what I'd expect from the thing.  I'm happy to blow the device away and restart it as a fresh iPhone, not quite sure how to do that, but I'm open to all suggestions that might show how to fix the problem.
    Thanks

    i wondered the same thing.
    You have to go to the "Restrictions" page of your device's Settings and make sure "iTunes" is turned on. 
    This is why it only happened on my children's iPods and not on mine. 
    The reason a full restore works is that it resets all your passwords and allows everything automatically until you reset the restrictions again.

  • Zen micro not connect

    after installing all the software on my computer (xp with all sservice packs),
    the device shows up. but when you click on icon, it states that the zen is not connected?
    installed it on different computer and it works fine,
    can anybody PLEASE help me?
    ps: does zen micro only work with usb2?
    kai

    the micro is backwardly compatable with USB aswell as working with USB 2.
    often the front ports on a pc run on a built in hub, and the micro often has problems when connected through a hub, because it charges via usb port it requires a lot of power, the full 500mA offered by usb ports and through a non powered usb hub the micro often doesnt get enough power to function. so the usb ports at the back are usially the safest.
    if the device is showing up in device manager, i suggest a full software instalation. encase something went wrong with it, also you could try updating the player firmware. what firmware do you currently have?

  • My zen micro playlist prob

    Ok here is my problem. And sorry when i write bad english. Im from holland and im not very good with english.
    But here we go; My zen micro puts the song on titel likeangel - robbie williamsAnd not ; robbie williams - Angel
    The problem here is, the artist don't stand together by there name
    And if i go to play list;artist , sometimes he gives it on the titel, and sometimes on the artistHow can i get my playlist so that every?song just works on artist and?then the?titel??Thnx!

    Grrr.. I had this same problem about 3 months ago. I literally tried for hours and days and weeks!! taking out the battery and restarting it time after time. one day it just finally came on to the little option screen and i was able to update my firmware. It worked better than ever after that. no stopping, no long pause when skipping through tracks. it worked out fine for about 2 months. Now its broken again with the same problem, so looks like ill be out my music for another month until i can jumpstart this thing. How come the Zen Micro doesnt have the reset button like some of the bigger ones? So anyways the only advice that I'm giving you is through my own previous experiences with it. Just keeping trying eventually it will come to you.. Or ship the thing out and pay the 24.95 for an assessment then pay parts and labor >:P I think I've already paid enough personally.

  • Zen Micro- Cannot Transfer Duplicate Fi

    I got a Creative Zen Micro 6GB mp3 player for Christmas, and am having a little bit of trouble with transferring some songs. It won't let you put 2 songs with the same name on! For example, I want to put Green Day's Dookie on it, along with Green Day Interenational Superhits. But since the Superhits collection has songs from Dookie, an error window comes up saying that "there is already a file with the same name, do you want to skip tranferring this file or replace it's". Neither! I want it on twice on both albums! Yes, I can rename it so it dosen't do this, but I just want it on twice!I also have the same problem when 2 bands have the same name for a song (Green Day: In The End, Linkin Park: In The End). They are 2 completely different files, and I cannot put both on!Does anyone know what to do?

    You can easily transfer a duplicate song to the Micro if you remove Zen Media Explorer and just use the standard Windows Explorer interface as that does not have any checks and duplicates can go on and off easily.
    But I have a feeling its a tagging issue. It varies by programs, but some check the ID Tags as well as the filename, so yes change the filename of the songs, if it still wont go then try the song tags... Still not working? Then use the standard Windows Explorer interface to transfer. You dont need to remove Zen Media Explorer, at least I dont think so... Access your player via Control Panel -> Portable Media Devices. Hopefully it wont open up the Zen Media Explorer interface....
    This would work only if you are running the PlaysForSure firmware.Message Edited by DM on 2-26-2005 02:5 AM

  • 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

    @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....

  • Creative Zen Micro - Freezes when 'Rebuilding Library', does this spontaneous

    I'll make this post short and sweet.
    Yes, I have read the FAQ.
    I'm just wondering, its happened to me twice now that when i turn on my zen micro, it goes straight to the rebuilding library screen, and when the bar gets to the end it just freezes. Replacing the battery does not help. Only until i attach it to my computer at home does the library finish rebuilding. And no, on both occasions the battery was not dead. I just found out now about recovery mode and disk cleanup.
    Now, considering this disk cleanup fixes the problem next time it arrises, why is this problem happening in the first place? How can I avoid it from happening?
    I'll probably be returning this product if I'm forced to replace the battery etc each time i want to use it.
    Sorry for my broken english

    I have had a very similar problem with my 5GB Zen Micro. I have not added music to the player in weeks but during a cold boot a couple of times a week the player will not start clean, many times hanging at the end of a library rebuild.
    The player is always shutdown orderly, though most of the time it's via the 4 hour firmware shutdown included in the ..0 firmware. Each time it hangs I boot to rescue mode, run a clean-up, then reboot. During the reboot it always runs a successful rebuild, so I wonder, why didn't it do that last time and why does it keep acting up when nothing has been added or deleted to the player?
    One additional note, sometimes during the boot it will hang with the ZEN screen only partially displayed.
    I just deleted the firmware and reloaded ..0. Hopefully this fixes it, but stay tuned for updates...
    Thanks,Doug
