Getting Music on your Zen Micro player - Help- Prob

I've had a past problem getting music onto my zen. Yes, I've only had it for 3 days but I cant figure it out. I know how to put the music onto it but when I try to put it on my zen ALL the files say "Your need a license".. Is this the DRM? I have no idea how to get it to work and frankly im sick of it..
Heres my information:
MP3- Zen Micro by Creation
Program used to download songs- Napster
Program used to transfer onto zen- The program that can equipt with the zen
I dont know if thats all you need. If not tell me please. I just want to get MORE songs on the dang player... The three pre-added songs Im getting sick of listning to.. if you know what i mean.
Other than that everythings good. I just cant get the songs to add to the player!
 It would help tons if someone could go into depth about adding songs step-by-step as everywere i've looked i cant find how to fix it... Or atleast tell me how to fix it.. or what the possible problems could be.. Is it the player or the license?... Any comments? Help? please.
Thanks tons!!

So Im depending on you all to help me..

Problem putting music on my zen micro. Pleease help

Okay, so i'm having a problem syncranizing my music onto my zen micro for some reason.
I've had my my zen micro player for almost a year and i've always been able to sync music onto it with no problem but i haven't put any new music on it for about a week or so and yesterday i tried to put music on it and it said that my windows media player read an unknown error and wouldn't put any music on it. ( i use my windows media player to put music on it, by the way )
So i have no idea what to do. I tried to reinstal the program that came with the player but that didn't work either and even that program said it read an error when i tried to use it to put music on there.
I even downloaded a new version of windows media player and tried to put music on it but that told me:
"Windows Media Player cannot save the sync settings because your device is full. Delete some unneeded files on your device and then try again."
But that's prett much impossible since my zen micro can save upto 2,500 songs and i only have 89 songs on there, no more and nothing else.
So can someone please help me and tell me what's wrong and what i have to do to fix it

you should be able to download the drivers and software you need from this site- just go to Support>downloads and enter in your OS, model no., etc.
it will give a list of programs, I don't have a mac but you'll probably need to download at least the driver and maybe the mediasource organizer

Transfering Music From My Zen Micro to My Hard Dr

Hi Everyone, I've tried looking through the forums for an answer to my question but I haven't been lucky as of yet - apologies if this is a common issue.
My problem is that I'd like to transfer all the music on my Zen Micro on to my PC's Hard Dri've.
I can see Creatvie Zen Micro on My Computer - I can click on the icon and view the individual music files but it does not let me copy and paste them on to my hard dri've.
My hard dri've on my PC failed recently and I'd like to put all the songs on my MP3 player back onto my PC - but I just can't seem to get it to work.
My details are -
Player - Creative Zen Micro 5gb
Version - .0.03
I have XP Pro with SP2 - and I've downloaded Creative MediaSource Organizer.
If any one can help me solve this issue - even if its a step by step way of getting the files on to my hard dri've (I don't mind being patronised! ) I would be eternally grateful!!
Thanks - I hope I get a reply soon - my hair is getting greyer by the second!
Ry


Here is what you should do:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site. Make sure that you install this first before installing the rest of the MediaSource plugins listed below.
- For non-PlaysForSure Zen series: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.
- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

I can't transfer my music from my zen micro to my

I have a little problem when I try to transfer my music from the zen micro to my pc with zen media explorer I have an error ,I have the same thing using creative media source organizer.the error is always the same "transfer error" its says that my file is working or its occuped and it can't transfer it. That is so strange its that I can transfer misic from my pc to my zen micro but not the inverse.Help !!!!!!

My personal view is the PC Music Library is a waste of time. It's an intermediate step between transferring tracks to the player, and I don't use any features within it. However your mileage may vary.
You can import tracks into the MediaSource PC Music Library one of two ways (at least). . Have a view with the files/folders on one side, and then the PC Music Library on the other, and simply use the transfer arrow to put the tracks into it (basically the tracks won't be copied, the links to them are simply added to the library database). 2. Use the Import button, on the toolbar. I believe this prompts for a directory with your files in, and it will then scan through the files.
Not sure if this was mentioned before, but before doing any of this make sure you install the latest drivers, MediaSource, and MediaSource plugin from Nomadworld.com downloads.

How long has your Zen Micro been in working conditi

Just another question... how long have you guys had your Zen Micro's without problems, or without any disfunctioning (dont think thi is the right word but w.e) problems. I am hearing all of these bad things about the Micro and i've only had it for week, im worried about my Micro's fate.

don't worry about it. your micro will do just fine. Mines has been workin' flawlessly since i got it 5 months ago.
You have to remember, these forums are like an emergence room for mp3 players. All you will hear here is negati've stuff.

How was Your Zen Micro Packag

I'm trying to see how common it is for the new Zen Micro design (the unit with an "Arrow" by itself on the back button instead of the text "Back") to be packaged in the old packaging (a cardboard box with a picture of an old text "Back" button unit on the front.) The newer packaging appears to be a clear plastic enclosure that allows you to see the unit without opening the package. So far I have only seen this packaging with black colored units.
Thus, I ask the following questions about the unit you own:
What color is your Zen Micro?
How was it packaged? (Cardboard box or Clear plastic Enclosure)
What version is it's (One with an "Arrow" or with the text "Back" for the back button)
Where did you purchase it's
When did you purchase it's
Thanks.

Zen Micro / USB Firmware prob

Okay, this time I ran into a serious problem and I was quite close to get really mad at Creative... This is my third Zen Micro player and my waranty has run out and I thought, this time I am really gone for..
So, what happened is, I took my mp3 player with me. Nothing special? Oh well, when I switched it on, it showed the starting screen and switched off again. Tryed again and it showed me that the battery was empty. I plugged the player into the recharger but hours later, turning the player on resulted in the same..
Okay, I thought maybe there is some problem and formated everything. Now it told me, firmware error and started into recovery mode on its own. Good I guessed, reuploading the firmware would solve the problem.. (P4S 2..0)
It was not this simple.. I connected the player with the USB to the computer, but some minutes after connecting it, it told me "there is a problem with the USB device" and the player was not recognized any more. Starting the firmware update program resulted in "the player is not connected to your computer" even if it was..
A week later, today I solved the puzzle. It was a pure coincidence, after I tried the american version of the firmware update program which only told me "the battery needs to be charged before a update can be done" I tried the old PDE ..0 Firmware program! **bleep** and it worked!! It recognized the player and let me "downgrade" the firmware to ..0! I hope that helps anyone encountering the same problem, I really thought my player is now really gone mad..

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).

Zen Micro/Organizer/disappear prob

Okay, here's the problem.... I recently deleted my music on my Zen Micro to start from Scratch, you know, clean it up. So I start adding music to my playlist. Suddenly, the songs are not on the playlist. They're in the "music" folder, but they don't exist in the playlist on mediasource organizer. I unplugged my Micro and checked the playlist - sure enough, nothing. But in the "All tracks" folder the music is there. I also noticed if I drag and drop one song at a time with a few seconds between each song, it'll load the songs in the playlst. But the second I select 2 songs, drag it in the playlist, they are shown as "completed" in the transfer window, but then nothing shows up in the playlist. AND, if there's already music in the playlist, they disappear too. What the heck is going on? For the last 3 weeks, I've been able to load and delete music perfectly, so why is this doing it now?Any help is appreciated!

Did you also update to a newer version of the Media Explorer?

Zen Micro Manual Booting Prob

Hi there,?Since two months I got the Creative zen Micro player, but now I got a problem. The problem in fact is that it wont boot when I hold the button. It ony boots when i connect it to the Pc. The same problem is there with shutting the zen player down, when i hold the button it wont shut down. When I want to shut it down I have to remove the battery first. I tried to search for this problem on other forums, but I didn't see this problem on any topic. I have updated the firmware, but that didnt helped, I am afraid that it is an Hardware problem.... Does anyone have a clue ?Dirk

apuffer: What happens is that if you connect it before installing the drivers it will mark the player as not having any drivers (normally you'd be prompted to intsall, and typically people cancel out of it).
There's a known problem caused by Quicktime 7, so firstly check for that and uninstall. Then try reinstalling the software again.
Assuming it installs OK hopefully it will pick up on the drivers being present, but if it doesn't just go back into Device Manager and delete the driverless Zen Micro device. Then physically disconnect and reconnect the player, and the drivers should install.

How to transfer all music in my Zen Micro to either my PC or another mp3 player....help ple

i have a creative micro zen with about 000 handpicked and some very hard to find songs on it...i don't really have trouble with the player itself, just the software and the continous problems seems like everyone is having with something... my question is this..........if i wanted to get another mp3 player as a backup in case this one crashes, then what does everyone think about one of the smaller ipods? what about their software and such? and, if i do decide to get an ipod, then how would i transfer all these 000 mp3 songs onto the new ipod? would there be an issue with the fact that they are not bought from itunes?? would it not be safe to do that? and if it is okay to do that,? how would i transfer the songs back onto my PC, as i have tried everything suggested on this board recently in trying to do that using Mediasource and it just won't work even after downloading all new plugins etc. if someone has an idea about this, please let me know step by step if possible about how i can get these songs that are valuable to me from my zen micro, to my computer, and then onto another mp3 and if ipod (nano for instance) is a wise choice or if there is another player in the same category that others have found they have waaaay less problems with and better support/service with it's?any help anyone gives would be greatly appreciated!? i appreciate all the suggestions to my other questions as well!?thanks,barb

for a new mp3 player, i would get this one, its awesome (and the one i would get if i had a choice instead of my microphoto that broke)... here's a link
http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_YP_T9_4GB_black/4505-6499_7-3208083.html the 4gb one is $80, the 2gb one is $30... so thats cheaper than an ipod, and much better features and stuff

When you order your Zen Micro, make sure you know what you're getti

I recently about a 5gb Zen Micro Mp3 player and went through a lot of trouble to get it, but I learned a lot. Read on:
First, there are two types of packaging for Zen Micros, one that includes only the player, the cords, the manual, the software, a pouch and the battery, and another that also has a case with stand and belt clip attachments. Most of the retailers are selling both for the same price and many of them have them both in stock at the same time. The boxes are two different sizes and the larger one (almost 0'by 7') has the case and attachments. Get your money's worth and ask what's the box.
Second, NEVER NEVER NEVER buy from a company in British Columbia, Canada called Can Computer (www.cancomputer.com). It is BY FAR the WORST retailer I've EVER come into contact with!
I ordered from this company after doing a little bit of research and they seemed like a decent company. I was WRONG. I ordered my player. A day later they called me to tell me that the colour I wanted was sold out but hadn't been posted on the website, so I picked a new colour. The company only ships by reg mail so after a week of waiting, I got my mp3 player in the mail.
Now, when you buy the player from a decent retailer, as I did afterwards from The Source by Circuit City, the box is rapped in plastic and the inside box is taped. Everything in the box is packaged and sealed including the battery and the software. Everything is neatly placed in the box and the player is untouched and is protected by plastic stri
ps.
The battery is outside the player. This is the way they should all be according to Creative Labs and all the other retailers I've spoken to.
When I received my supposedly "new" player from Can Computer, there was no outside plastic, the seal on the inside of the box was broken. The outside AND inside was covered in dirt. The inside contents looked like they had been dumped out onto a dirty floor and thrown back in again. Everything was opened, including the software. The battery was already inside the player and it was covered in dirt. When I took it out of the player, there was a piece of tape (the kind of scotch tape you get on a roll) holding the top of the battery together and the casing was warped. My manual was mangled. On top of that, there were parts missing from my box. I received the box that should have included the casing and the attachments. Neither were there. Also missing were my warranty cards and the casing to the manual. The cords that I receieved were not creative merchandise. As you can imagine, I wasn't very happy.
When I called the company, the Sales Manager was incredibly rude to me. He refused to apologise and seemed to make every effort to deter me from getting refund. He tried to tell me that it was normal for the player to arri've that way and that tape on the battery was something that was normal. He also said he would only refund my shipping costs to send it back to him if he saw it and believed that I was telling the truth. He was so rude that when I explained to him what happened, he had the nerve to say, "So, what do you want me to do about it's". To prove my point, I called the retailers around my city and asked them what the box, battery and player should look like. I also called Creative. All of them said that what I got from Can Computer was abnormal. It was only then, when I proved that they'd sent me used and defecti've products and demanded that I be given a full refund, that the Sales Manager of Can Computer agree with me.
This is the worst company I've ever dealt with. DO NOT buy ANYTHING from this company!!!
Do your research and if you can buy one from a retailer in your area, do so. It's worth it. Futureshop will match any internet retailer's price, and The Source gives over the counter replacement.

I Need Serious Help With My ZEN MICRO! Help With MediaSource!! Don't Know What I'm Doing

Hey.. I just bought my zen micro... i love the player itself...but coming from itunes, which is amazingly easy and simple to use, the creative mediasource is sooo hard for me to get the hang of! First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy... now, i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc... i can't do anything!! if there's someone who wouldn't mind helping me out..please reply or write and let me know.... thanks! jason. [email protected]

>> First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy...
This is not MediaSource's issue.
>> i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc...
The first task you need to do is to add all your songs into MediaSource's PC Music Library. After that, it is not difficult to figure out how to use MediaSource. Editing track properties and creating playlist is very simple. To transfer tracks to your devices, you need to click a button at the bottom right of MediaSource to open up another panel to facilitate the transfer.
