Playing zen micro photo thru usb on warfedale portable cd pla

i just got a warfedale cd player which is supposed to be able to play music from mp3s or usb device but when i plug in my zen micro photo via usb to the front, it just charges and doesn't play. it does work on my brother's archos mp3 but not my mum's smaller archos. hers and mine both charge thru usb, his doesn't, so maybe that's?y?i thought that maybe a lead going from jack plug to usb might work on mine but can't find one anywhere, tho the guy in one shop said he could make one he didn't think it would work and that it should work thru usb anyway. i now wonder whether its just down to settings. can anyone help with this?:angry::robotmad::manmad::womanmad:?

Thankyou for replying, what tiype of cable would I need to buy in order to connect my creative. Many thanks

Cheap/free DIY Zen Micro/Photo Case and wall charg

Ahoy! I've been on the Head-Fi forums and figured to check out these and didnt find much.
Its simple to make a hardcase for your Zen Micro or Micro Photo, check out mine!
I used a penguins mint tin, (like Altoids but caffinated)
also, the standard wall charger for USB motorola phones will charge your Zen Micro Photo
its still a 5v usb charger, it works and you can find them cheaper than one from
creative

This was very easy to do.
Take the mint tin, trace it onto the back of a peice of foam (the white plasticy side)
cut slightly inside the line, about /3 a centimeter.
measure the height of the tin and take about /5 to /4 of a cm off of that and cut straight down the long edge of the foam, its an exact fit (if you want it fitted like mine)
you will need TWO of these, its double layered
Check the fit of the peice before you place anything.
i placed the sides first but do whatever you find easiest.
fold the long peices in half to find the center and just start applying from the bottom of the tin.
next, cut a peice big enough to cover your screen but not the buttons.
take the sticky side off and lay the foam, sticky side up, onto the screen. close the tin.
Your MOST of the way done
now take a dremel (what i used) or what ever else. maybe a nail and hammer the corners and scisor the between? (that may be sharp)
and you have yoruself a great case everyone will marvel at and youll be proud of it, post your pics here or atleast email me at [email protected]

I deal with the slight buzzing while the screen is on, i just haev my screen cut off in 0sec of idle and its good to go, thats a known bug.
Also, one time my zen kinda froze booting but that was a fluke adn has been fine since then.
I Love my hard case i made, it has a mysterious ding in it but that just means that i spared my zen from that same ding.
I've been IM'd and asked abotu it overheating in the enclosure and i've used it in the sun for hours on end and the zen itself stays cool, i dont think there is a problem with that at all.
If you rmaking one know that its one layer of foam on the bottom and two on the sides.
the easiest way to apply the screen protector is to peel the sticky off of lay it on the screen, sticky side up and then just close the lid.
I had the idea of putting a hole in the lid where the screen is and glueing the clear plastic from a CD case but scrapped that idea because it would look tacky and get dirty.

That was probably caused by your Firewall blocking the newly installed version of Firefox.
No known security issues with Firefox 3.6.17, which was just released this past week.

Zen Micro Photo will not charge batt

My Zen Micro Photo will work (play music) when plugged to?the AC charger. However, it will not charge the battery. Since my son has a Zen also, tryed the fully charged battery, and will not play in he player.
Why will it work when plugged to the charger, and not work with battery?

Hi,

Zen Micro Photo Sighting in U

Greetings:
Just saw an article on DAP Review (http://www.dapreview.net/news.php) supposedly showing pictures of a Zen Micro Photo taken at a BestBuy in Florida. The article also reported order listings for the Micro Photo on several U.S. based web sites.
I did a quick "Froogle" on Google (couldn't resist...GRIN) and lo and behold there were 4 pages of listings for the Zen Micro Photo. None of the sites claimed to be shipping the Micro Photo and prices ranged from $249 - 268 U.S. A few of the sites included:
Buy.com</LI>
J and R Music, and</LI>
Crutchfield</LI>
The Crutchfield site listed an estimated arrival date of November 7.
Any official response from Creative? Has anybody in the U.S. acquired a Micro Photo from a U.S. supplier?
If there are people in the U.S. who have a Micro Photo, how about posting a couple of "real world" photos. And, as a sidebar, a couple of questions:
I've seen some comments on the screen being dim (or not as bright as expected). Can anybody confirm or debunk?</LI>
I've read reports about no music while viewing pictures. True or False?</LI>
Anybody using SUBSCRIPTION music on their Micro Photo If you are, can you see album art while a track is playing (like the Apple nano)?</LI>
Any information, feedback, etc. will be appreciated!

* I've seen some comments on the screen being dim (or not as bright as expected). Can anybody confirm or debunk?
I set the screen contrast to 80 percent. In normal office lighting, pictures appear crisp and bright enough. In total darkness, looking at the screen won't hurt my eyes either. OLED rocks!
* I've read reports about no music while viewing pictures. True or False?
Unfortunately this is true.
* Anybody using SUBSCRIPTION music on their Micro Photo If you are, can you see album art while a track is playing (like the Apple nano)?
Unfortunately again, album art is not displayed.
Overall I'm very happy with Zen Micro Photo. The only complain is that the radio is mediocre at best.

Zen micro photo proble

ok so i've had my zen micro photo since last summer, which means that the creative lab crew wont help me since my purchase is over a year old. lame. well i had a minor 2 ft drop with my buddy, and it wont work. when i turn it on, it freezes on the "creative" screen. then when i get to the option window so i can attempt to clean it out, it wont work, i would like to say that it freezes also on all the options, but i cant really tell. those are i guess minor problems. i dont really know, but it also will occassionally make this odd "skipping" noise when i take the battery out and replace it so it will restart. this kid at Best Buy said that it has a small rotating disk on the inside and that it could of cracked or isnt on properly. but this is a drag. and you would think that i could just plug my baby into the computer with the USB cord,but now it wont even respond to the computer, or the computer wont recognize it. if you have any advice that would be swell.

i asked that same question because my zen micro broke no responded, but i did get a microphoto and have not had any problems yet.

My zen micro photo won`t charge with anything else but my usb port h

i bought a charging package for my creative labs zen micro photo. when i use the wall charger or the car charger, it shows it is charging but the battery icon on the micro photo does not does not fill up. i leave it on?for hours but that does not help.i bought this charging pack from ebay and it says it is mead for the micro photo.any thoughts. thank you

this was an after market package it only cost me $4 and would cost me close to that much to send it back. i guess i will buy the one you got at creative labs. you said it works with your zen micro photo?would you send me the model number of the wall charger. thank you so much

Help with my Bran-New Creative Zen Micro Photo. [Questi

If you don't want to see the backing of my whole story skip to the bold print at the bottom!I also want you to know I read the FAQs and searched through some topics like this, but haven't found any asking my question.First of all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching Creative's Zen for a long time now. I kept observing each one closely before I purchased a product. I then saw the Zen Micro Photo come out. This one won my attention. I loved this, I quickly searched for reviews and went for the buy for Christmas. I told my dad about it and he was "iffy" on the price, but it was better then the iPod in my opinion.Christmas day came and I opened it. Right away I checked everything out I knew a lot about the menu already and all, but not really how to control it. I checked to make sure everything worked. All systems were go. After listening to the defaults (which I loved) I went to go install the software. I already had Media Player 0 and Adobe, oh and I didn't want the freakin AOL toolbar! Lol, so I installed everything else. It took forever, but I hooked it up and I installed the drivers, but as soon as I plug in the USB connector I see: "A HIGH-SPEED USB device has been plugged into a LOW SPEED USB port.After that, I switched USB ports, btu I got same message. I hit the X and then tried to charge. I got the Lightening Bolt, but no dimming of lights. I found out that this computer is not letting me install any service packs, I'm confused about that.My question:Is there anyway I can charge this mp3 player and download music onto my Zen Micro Photo without Service Pack ? Or did I just pay $250 for a really cool glowing mp3 player to be used as a paperweight? (I love this Zen and I ran the battery dead hoping that would make the charging easier).Help?
My Specifications:
My Mp3 Player: Zen Micro Photo (Black)What I tried: Switching USB ports and re-installing Service Pack Software: Not sure how to determine firmware without installing something. I'm on a XP Professional and I'm using the Creative Media Source and Creative Media Toolbox

Thank you DM for responding. I am expecting problems, but it still won't allow me to charge the Zen Micro Photo or even use the Creative Media Source. I can't upload any songs or any contacts on it. I haven't uploaded anything yet, but it's not reading the USB device. When I run Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer I get this message at the top of the screen: "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer. I can't organize anything or add songs... so it just makes all the programs I downloaded useless and my Creative product unusuable.ONe thing it does do though... whenever I plug in my Zen MIcroPhoto to the USB it turns it on and glows, but only shows my battery at the top with one red line and the green lightening bolt filling the battery up.After leaving it like this for two hours the green moves, but the red bar stays the same size.

Using Zen Micro(Photo) with plain Explo

Is there a possibility to copy MP3 files simply by drag-and-drop with the Windows Explorer to the Zen Micro(Photo) so that the files are treated as MP3 and NOT as simple data files? Technically it is quiet simple to do this by using the hard disk of the Zen as an extra hard disk in Windows. Even the cheapest USB-stick based MP3-player can do this. Why not a Zen (or the iPod competition)?
I refuse to use any specific software to copy my self ripped MP3-files because I know that that software (Creative, iTunes, even Windows Media Player and other) changes things during the file transfer and I don't want any change in the MP3 files, not even a single bit!
I want to buy a Zen Micro Photo (8 GB, color screen), but I refuse to do it as long as it is impossible to crag-and-drop my MP3 files simply thru the Windows Explorer.

Yeah that's what i always did. I just drag and drop MP3 files directly into my player without using any software whatsoever.

Zen Micro Photo Conce

I am about to purchase a Zen Micro Photo. I am choosing it over the Zen Micro because of the many posts about the headphone problem on the Zen, the clearer screen on the Micro Photo, and the lack of availability of the Zen Micro in the stores - very few stores are selling the Micro and many have only the Micro Photo (which leads me to believe that the Micro is being phased out - at least in the marketplace). I have some concerns about the Micro Photo - there seems to be some posters on this group who have a buzz from the screen. Since many reviews of the Micro Photo say how great the sound is, I am going to assume, perhaps foolishly, that the buzz has been taken care of in the recent releases or this is not as common a problem as some would like to state. My other concern is and question is how fragile are these? There are warnings about NOT jogging with the Micros. I have not seen this with other companies'hd players. I plan to use this in a car. Is this going to be a problem? Sometimes roads are bumpy.
One of the main reasons that I have chosen the Zen is the bookmarking features. I use the mp3 player for audiobooks and I want to be able to set a bookmark in mid track of a book, listen to something else, and then come back to that same place in the book and continue on - which from the Micro/Microphoto manuals I should be able to do. Is this correct?
Surprisingly, few mp3 players can do this - the Ipod can't despite it's claim that it can.
I appreciate any feedback.

Information on LiON battery lifespans.
A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.
Although lithium-ion is memory-free in terms of performance deterioration, batteries with fuel gauges exhibit what engineers refer to as "digital memory". Here is the reason: Short discharges with subsequent recharges do not provide the periodic calibration needed to synchronize the fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. A deliberate full discharge and recharge every 30 charges corrects this problem. Letting the battery run down to the cut-off point in the equipment will do this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate. (Read more in 'Choosing the right battery for portable computing', Part Two.)
Aging of lithium-ion is an issue that is often ignored. A lithium-ion battery in use typically lasts between 2-3 years. The capacity loss manifests itself in increased internal resistance caused by oxidation. Eventually, the cell resistance reaches a point where the pack can no longer deli'ver the stored energy although the battery may still have ample charge

Zen Micro Photo Li

Can somone give me a link to where i can buy a Zen Micro Photo Pink? I li've in the USA, Thanks alot, Sorry i did not find this on search.

Hard to say; I see it's "out of stock" there. The Creative site says the MicroPhoto will be available in 0 colors, much like the original Micro; however, most stores didn't carry all 0 colors of the original. (For example, Best Buy only had black in the stores; the other 9 colors were only available online.)

Zen micro photo wont char

okay, creative explorer picks it up. I can put music on it and everything but it doesn't charge! This is getting really bad. My Bat is already dead and i can't charge it. This is my second faulty zen micro photo in less the 7 days! Any reason why it wouldnt be charging? help would be greatly appreciated(<--spelling)

Won't charge? Can be a couple of reasons.
- There should be a blue pulsating light when charging and the flash icon should appear at the batt icon.
- The batt itself, player or even the USB cable may be faulty.
- The USB cable is not plugged in correctly.
If these 3 are not the cause, bring it back to the store and have them do a direct charging simulation for you.

I'm willing to buy any faulty Zen Micro Photo (black) mp3 players or Zen V Plus (black and bl
