FYI - Musicmatch now works with Zen Micro

I started up Musicmatch this morning and besides there being an important security update there was also a new portable device plugin available to download. After it downloaded I decided to plug my Micro in just to check it out and lo and behold!!!
It works seamlessly with Musicmatch now! I'm loving it!
So if you're a Musicmatch lover like I am, make sure you update your Musicmatch.
My Musicmatch version: 0.00.2058b
Take care everybody!

Winamp is a media player, a lot like iTunes and Windows Media Player 0. If you want more info on why Winamp is better than iTunes, check out my previous post:

  • It's possible work with ZEN Micro 6Gb without battery

    I would like to use the ZEN micro 6 Gb without battery, only plugged with the power adaptor ... it's possible?
    Thanks a lot

    Thanks <SPAN>Cat ,
    I have a friend with ZEN 5 GB and tell me the same (like Muvo2) ... it's extrange because my generic power adapter charges the battery correctly, but when i remove the battery and try to work directly with the power adaptor don't work.
    Please, I don't know if my problem it's my generic power adaptor ... anyboy have the ZEN Micro 6 Gb and can work with the player removing the battery and plugged it with the Creative ZEN Micro original power adaptor (not included with the product)?
    Thanks

  • Random Problems with Zen Micro? Try a diff. USB cable

    I know people have mentioned this in other posts, but I thought I would reiterate it here. Many people seem to be complaining that their player is not recognized, or only sometimes recognized, or recognized by Windows (as a USB device) but not by their Creative software, or songs won't transfer, etc. Well, I had some similar problems which ALL went away when I started using a different USB cable - the one that shipped with the Micro just doesn't seem to work consistently.
    So, if you are having problems with your player that you can't seem to solve any other way, you may want to try a different USB cable. It worked for me.
    Hope this helps - I am (now) loving my new Micro!

    I tried a different USB cable also, I thought that it would help, but I still got the same problems. I can almost guarantee that although you think you may have solved your issues, they WILL come back.
    I've also been experiencing the "Player Not Connected" problem with my Zen Micro.
    I've also had the problem where the Zen Micro just freezes in the "Docked" screen even after it has been disconnected from the PC
    I've noticed that these are common problems with Zen Micros with the new firmware (.0.03)
    My old Zen Micro with the old, original firmware did NOT have this connectivity problem
    Creative should investigate these issues associated with this new firmware, or maybe even making the old firmware available for download to see if this really is the source of all these problems.

  • [Edit]Problem with Zen Micro when connected to PC-- cleared but another prob

    Hello,
    My problem is that my Computer (winxp, sp2) does not identify my zen micro any longer. few days ago it worked perfectly but now it doesnt work.
    my zen micro has the firmware with the MTP/plays for sure
    I had installed the things from the cd, when I bought it, that was in the package and then new drivers and the new applications, so two programs. (I had two Zen Micro symbols on my desktop but I could only use the program with MTP)
    it worked fine.
    a few weeks ago I had the same problem, but after a few connectings and disconnectings it worked again.
    today this doesnt helped. I uninstalled everything what had to do with creative and then only installed new drivers and the newest applications (without the things from the cd).
    it still doesnt work.
    when I click on the "Zen Micro Media Explorer (MTP)" on the desktop I can see that my zen micro is connected. When I go to my playlists and click on one, it seems that my playlist is "empty". but in the mp3-player there is the playlist!
    when I click on my music folder, where all the music is I see the folders, but when I go into the folders, the folders are also "empty".
    what happened? I changed the usb ports--> doesnt work...
    what can I do in order to use my zen micro again on the pc. my zen micro works fine(playlists and songs work normally), but I have problems having connected it to my pc... I cannot copy songs and edit my playlists anymore. is there any way to edit the playlists via mp3-player without connecting to the pc?
    I hope you have a helping answer for me.
    Regards

    ok guys, I almost solved the problem. I used the rescue mode, used clean up, and now the folders are not empty and I can copy songs into my Zen Micro.
    But the playlists are "empty". Also when I want to create a new playlist it says that my mp3-player is not connected ?! But it is! I can copy files into it!
    I also cannot synchronize it with WMP0.
    I reinstalled software and it didnt help...
    So what can I do? It is connected but I cannot edit my playlists.
    Is there any way to edit the playlists via the mp3-player and not over the pc?Message Edited by expredator on 02-08-2005 :00 PM

  • Strange problem with zen micro (I'm going mad!!

    merry xmas!! I've bought a zen micro in seprember, flashed with .xx firmware; I always used it with windows 2000 with no problem, but... problems began when I've installed a pci card usb 2.0 on my pc; the card worked finely with everything but not with zen micro, that's to say that everytime I tried to import songs by media explorer, the program often wasn't able to import songs; so I've installed windows xp and flashed zen micro with 2.xx firmware (I've installed also service pack 2 and wmp0), but things have gone wrong!!! now everytime I connect zen micro to pc, xp asks the drivers, and it doesn't want neither the driver I've found on creative's cd, nor drivers downloaded from creative's site!! And it's not finished: now zen micro is without firmware and everytime I'm trying to flsh it, a dialogue box says that the player is not connect!!!
    can anybody help me? otherwise I'll have to write to creative support for a substitution...
    please help me!!!!!

    Strange. Unfortunately MTP connection problems are very tricky to solve. It's hard to know whether the firmware upgrade was partially successful, and whether you are on v or v2 firmware. It sounds like v2 firmware, due to the connection problems with MTP.
    The drivers for the v2 firmware are provided by Windows Media Player 0, and are located in the C:\WINDOWS\INF directory. You could try pointing there.
    As the player has no firmware though you have to go into recovery mode, choose "reload firmware", then connect to the PC (see if it's detected) and run the firmware update again.
    If this doesn't work try and find another PC, say a friend's, that meets the requirements of Win XP + SP/2 + WMP0, and see if you can update.
    In terms of resolving the connection problem if it continues, have a look at this thread, particularly the reply by DM, which goes through some of the troubleshooting to solve MTP connection problems. Also look for the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post.

  • Will Zen Micro Charger work with Zen Vision

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if the charger (AC Charger that is)i use to charge my Zen Micro 5GB will charge my Zen Vision:M ?
    The Voltage is the same - 5Volts
    Any suggestions?

    The USB charger does fit the USB Adapter bit on the Vision:M.
    Are they different polarities or something?
    I would have plugged it in(connected to the mains) If i wasn't in fear of breaking my 2 day old Vision.

  • Problem with Zen Micro TravelD

    I had a 5GB?Zen Micro which started "skipping" when I used it with the TravelDock. I returned the TravelDock for a replacement. The Zen Micro worked fine for several months, then started "skipping" again. Finally, one day while using it in the TravelDock, it froze on re-building library and I was never able to revi've it. Note that I never had any "skipping" problem while using the Zen Micro with the headphones-only with the TravelDock. I bought a second 5GB ZenMicro a month ago. At first, all was fine when I used it in the TravelDock. The last few days, the "skipping" has started again. As with my first Zen Micro, I have no problem with any track when I use the headphones. The skipping while in the TravelDock is not always on the same track, and again, those tracks play fine when I use the Zen Micro with the headphones. Has anyone else had this problem Any ideas Thanks for any help!

    I've had the same problem since I got the thing, except that it's SPORADIC. Nine times out of ten I can't connect. I've tried other cables, other PC's without bettering the odds.
    Most of the time:
    () Plug in the Micro.
    (2) Hear the USB connection "bong" sound.
    (3) "MTP Media Player" window opens. "What do you want Windows to do?"
    Take your choice
    * Synchonize Media Files to this device using Windows Media Player
    * Take no action
    (4) It doesn't matter. If I select "media player" it can't find the device. If I select "no action" and then click on "My computer" the flashlight searches, but it can't find it either.
    (5) Note the Micro says "Docked" with solid arrows. It looks connected to me.
    (6) Unplug the Micro.
    (7) The Micro still says "Docked" and now I have to remove the batteries to use it.
    I tried e-mail help from creative. They had me try "clean up," they had me try un-installing and re-installing the PC software. None of it made any difference. Finally they suggested reverting back to the old non MTP software. At that point I gave up on them because I had the same problem before I upgraded.
    I tried calling creative. They had my try "clean up" which of course did nothing. Finally they said I should exchange the unit. I'm not convinced that would help, and I don't want to be without it for 0-5 days.
    Scanning this forum today I see two more suggestions. Let the battery run down a bit before syncing. Don't let the USB root hub turn off the power. I'll try, but I don't have much hope.

  • Big Problem with Zen Micro - won't be detec

    Hello people,
    I got a big problem now with my Zen Micro 5GB. Since Saturday I have having my new PC, Fujitsu Scaleo
    Intel Pentium D 2,8 GHz dual Processor
    024MB Ram
    PCI-e mainboard
    Ati x700se Video Card
    Windows XP with SP2 and several updates were already installed
    Windows Media Player 0
    Now, the problem is, I can't really use it on my PC. A few weeks ago I had the very old firmware. But then I thought I update it (why? I don't know...)I Updated to the version ..0 from Jul 05. It worked anyway...
    So I plugged in the MP3 player to my new pc but it was not really detected or it did not want to work. When it was plugged in, I couldnt open any program. Even if it was Media Source or Opera or winamp... They did not appear. But they were "open" as they appeared in the task manager. So I couldnt use Media Source. So I tried with Zen Media Explorer, all buttons there were clickable but when I clicked on one butteon (like organize music...) it didnt react...
    so I thought: "ok with this firmware, it wont work" So I updated the firmware to 2.2.02 Plays for sure. Neither with the new Media Source on your site nor with Zen Media Explorer (I installed the Update)it does not work. The plays for sure plugin for Media Source wasnt as well helpful. I can drag and drop files on my mp3 player, OK this is one way, but still when it is plugged in, I cant use any other program, as I cant open them.
    I dont want to use the drag and drop way as I then have to download a program for editing mp3 tags and I cant as well make playlists...With Media Source it was so easy... I want to use Media Source and I want my PC react even if my Zen Micro is plugged in...
    So what to do? I thought about installing the very old firmware what I had before I updated to ..0 but where can I download it's
    I hope you can help me
    Regards
    eXMessage Edited by expredator on 0--2006 08:58 PM

    MediaSource with the PFS plugin should work, if the player is being detected properly.
    Presumably it isn't, so you need to verify this by looking in Device Manager when the player is connected.

  • IBM T30 XP USB error with Zen Micro. Does not recognize dev

    I've tried everything I can think of on this board and others. Zen Micro, IBM T30 laptop, 2 usb ports on back, Windows XP. Downloaded latest everything I can find. USB does not recognize device. Error report shows "USB Root Hub (2 ports) ---> Unknown Device"
    Any help appreciated. Thanks!

    Tried one last thing, just for grins...
    Put the IBM into it's docking station, which has another USB on the dock (low speed, though), and voila! It worked! Go figure what's different but since it was working, I took that opportunity to blow in the new firmware, and also upgraded to ZenMicroP4S_PCFW_LB_2__02 to get away from drivers all together (and to use Napster2go, my ultimate goal through all of this!) Syncing with MP0 worked great. Even an explorer view with folders and such, so all is well.
    Since everything seems to be working, I'll stick with it for now!
    Can I now delete Zen Micro Media Explorer from my system? (it doesn't seem to recognize the device anyway)
    Thanks!

  • Various problems with Zen Micro, but getting smaller and small

    Last night I turned on my Zen Micro and heard Led Zeppelin's All of my Love for about 4 seconds before the micro froze and started buzzing, reminding me of my Nintendo when the cartridge was dirty. So I tried restarting it several times and it continued with the same. I left it for the night, since I was at someone else's house and had not installed the new firmware; I needed to be at my laptop to mess around with it. In the morning, I looked up some stuff and found out how to access the recovery mode, which I did. I did all of the options, the last one being to format the hard dri've. I had already erased the firmware, but I formatted the hard dri've after I plugged it into my USB port and saw that it had been corrupted anyways and it was completely empty. Then, seeing as everything was gone anyways, I took the opportunity to download the firmware updates and install them, or at least attempt to. I got a message saying the battery level was too low, and to charge it before installing the firmware. I took out the battery and it ran on main power while I installed the first firmware. Then, I put the battery back in and installed the second firmware (newest) and it gave me the same error message about the level being too low. I took out the battery again, but this time it just turned off. I didn't quite understand so I just went to sleep and left it charging. I woke up and was able to install the firmware. Then I went to Windows Media and synced my library to the Micro. Bad idea. I don't know if it's the same with any of you, but I don't exactly love all the songs in my music library. It took every audio file I have on my computer and put it on the Micro. So I figured I'd just open MediaSource and do the whole editing thing I did before it got busted. That doesn't work because of course the music under Creative Zen Micro is different from the music under PC Music Library which, until today, were identical. Now. All I want to know is how I can look at the music inside my Micro in the same way I would if it were in my PC Music Library, where I have a scroll bar on the side with all the artists and albums and a list of tracks next to it. I need this because instead of everything being free and looking the same way it would in my downloads folder, everything is now in folders by artist name and it will take me forever to figure out which songs I do and do not want. Still, at least I've got it working now.

    It shouldn't be, assuming you synced via WMP the contents of the PC Music Library. Ultimately the contents of the PC Music Library is irrelevant though as don't you want to edit the contents of the player? I'm guessing you're using the v2 firmware which makes this a little harder...

    You can't. That's the problem with the v2 firmware. You might want to go back to the . firmware. For the differences in the firmware versions look at the FAQ post.

  • Need help with Zen Micro and Win

    Hi,
    I bought a Zen Micro 2 days ago and I can't get it to work with my Win XP machine.
    I did what was told in the manual: install the software first then plug the player.
    When I plug the player in I get the following message:
    Found New Hardware:
    Zen Micro
    According to the manual, it should be detected and the drivers installed automatically.
    But it dosen't. Instead I get the Wizard that try to find the drivers and it dosen't find them.
    I let the battery get a full charge and I tried again. Same results.
    I tried to update the firmware but since the player is not detected that didn't work.
    I also tried to get the new MediaSource/Zen driver (ZENM_PCAPP_LB_4_00_8_PDE.exe) but that didn't fix my problem either.
    I also tried to install the Creative Zen Micro Driver version .27.02 but it tell me that I can't install it because the user I tried to install it with is not an administrator. But this is not true since there is only one user on this machine and it's the administrator. First software that tell me this.
    I'm using XP Home with SP2.
    Thanks for the help.

    The reason it won't install is because the drivers aren't installed.
    I've seen a very few others with this strange error about administrati've pri'veleges, so I'm wondering if it's a Windows issue here. You could try downloading the drivers from to see if this is any different.
    Try creating another administrator account and see if it will install from that, and try searching back (perhaps someone had found a solution). I think there's also a way of running a program with forced pri'veleges, perhaps Google can turn something up on that.
    I remember one user needs to change some rights of the registry in order to install the software. It looks like under some cases, the login account does not have sufficient rights to write registry.

  • Pick up metal objects with zen micro headphones? battery life with firmware 1.02

    hey all
    just purchased my zen micro couple days ago.
    the package we got here in downunder is satifying. included were the wired remote and also the stand/case with belt clip. these were the only reasons that made me choose this over the ipod mini.
    this has not occurred to me until tonight, but the headphones seems to act as magnets and were stuck to each other as the phones were dangling
    i never noticed this happening with other phones
    also the battery life of my zen was horrendous. its lasted 5 hrs with eq and smart volume on. the zen was on hold the whole time as the actions were controlled by the wired remote.
    this was with the firmware that was shipped with the player .0.03 i believe
    have just updated the firmware now, and will be testing the battery life to see if the problem is rectified.
    if not, then an exhange for an ipod is inevitable.

    Yep, SV is a battery killer, around a 50% drop in life has been meaured and the effect is known to be pretty negligible.
    And as others have said, them headphones have magnets in, like pretty much any speaker

  • Firmware problem with Zen Micro (Hel

    Well,I was installing the frimware MTP 2.00.2, suddenly the install freezed after the second boot. At that point my computer could not find the Zen Micro, but the thing is that it was found it in the Device Manager driverless. I tried everything to install the drivers to the Zen Micro, but no success. But I cant understand why I can connect to the removable disk, and not get in touch with it when im turning the removable disk option off. And now i reached the point that I do not know what do do! Help!

    Use the recovery mode on your Zen Micro to remove the existing messed-up firmware.
    Ensure that the Zen Micro is turned off.
    Remove the battery.
    Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and re-insert the battery to the Zen Micro. Hold the Power button until the rescue mode appears.
    Select option 3: Reload OS
    After that you will need to reinstall the firmware from your computer.

  • PROBLEM with zen MICRO: POWERSU

    What's up kids, here's my problem. Please reply if you can relate...
    I've had my zen micro for a good 3 months. It's worked perfectly for 2 /2.
    Now that I've gotten the infamous headphone jack issue, I also got another:
    When I plug my micro to my pc, this error pops up immediately:
    [img"]http://img22.echo.cx/img22/8657/microissue2ef.gif[/img] width="34" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    I know it is the fault of the mp3 and not my pc because every other device works fine.
    Besides this one, I've gotten another bubble saying my computer doe not recognize
    the device attached and it has malfunctioned.
    I need help because I can not add music to my mp3. I also have some charging issues
    but lets not get into that for now.
    Peace

    It's directly to the PC.
    I know for a fact that it isn't my computer because I've tried connecting it to many others, and still have the problem. It has made successful connections in the past countless numbers of times.
    I've notice my micro behaving wierd lately. Sometimes I can't turn it on or off. Maybe some of these issues are related?
