Micro with M

My brother loves my Micro (as do I) and wants to pick one up. But I am also about to buy him a new Mac mini for his college duties (I feel bad for giving him my old, old, old Celeron ) and I realized that the Micro only works with Windows. Is there any sort of program allowing it to be Mac compatible? If and when my brother picks up his Micro, should he just stay on the initial firmware? Or should I just tell him to go the iPod route (which I really don't want to do)?

You are too kind

Zen Micro with PC connection Problems and no firmw

I'm running on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and I have Windows Media Player 0.
...and my Zen Micro wouldn't be detected, so I formatted it completely and I tried reloading the firmware. My old Zen Micro with v firmware still connects perfectly well, but Windows just doesn't detect my v2 firmware (now no firmware) Zen Micro.
Advice, please?
:edit:
Windows DOES detect my Zen Micro now...but I still can't do anything with it. It appears as MTP player connected:

bkBlade,
Check this Knowledgebase article SID0053 and make sure the USB registry entry is correct. If you do make changes to the registry base on the Knowledgebase info, then try reloading the v2 firmware again.

Zen Micro with iTu

Hi, is someone can tell if i can use zen micro with iTunes and how do it ? thanks

as far as i know the itunes agent will not work with the micro. but i don?t know for sure.
It definately works with my wifes MuVo Micro N200. I think it supports all players that has a USB removable dri've feature, so it should work fine with the Micro.

Any possibility to record on a ZEN micro with an external m

hi!
is there any possibility to record on a ZEN micro. with an external mic?
i searched the web and found "things" like that for e.g. the ipod working by the usb port of the palyer.

it would act as if the drive is a built-in DVD burner.

Synchronizing zen micro with music collect

I have a lot of music on my micro which i found out was low quality, on my computer as you cant vew the quality when in exploria for the micro. so i re encoded the tracks from my cd collection to the computer at the required bit rate. now is there any way of syncronizing my music on the micro with the songs it already has but update them from the ones on the computer. as whae you do all of them it will transfer all the songs you dont have untill you run out of space.any ideas, apart from amking a folder with my micro music on the computer and transfering that.

I'm not too au fait with synchronising (I have a lot of music on my PC, and tend to just drag and drop) but I'm guessing that it may not know to update with new tracks.
I know that Nomadsync was pretty good in this regard, but I'm not sure if it woks with the v2 firmware.

Help: Problem using Zen Micro with Yahoo Unlimited Music Serv

I get a "Error reading device contents: The Data is Invalid" message when I try to synchronize my Zen Micro with the Yahoo music engine. When I first connect my Zen via usb, the Yahoo engine recognizes the Zen Micro but it is unable to read the contents of the Zen prior to my synchronizing. After trying to read my Zen for a while, I get the pop up message described above. I am using version 2..02 zen firmware and version .0..4 of the Yahoo engine.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? Does the Zen Micro actually work with the Yahoo service?
Thanks

Here is the Internet address for one of the forums for Yahoo Music Engine. You might find some possible solutions here.

Playlist in zen micro with playsforsure firmw

I'm using a zen micro with the 2..02 firmware... and napster to go... napster to go takes forever to transfer my tracks so usually I just use WMP 0 as a standalone... The question is... why can't I view playlists that I created on the fly inside my player in WMP0.... I've already accepted the fact that you can't delete most of the mandatory Napster playlists without deleting the tracks that they are composed of... and that kinda sux... but I thought that you would at least be able to view the playlists that you created on your player in WMP 0.... Is there something that I'm not doing?

WMP0 does not handle playlists properly, well not at all, so it will not work with any device the way its intended to do. Just got to sit back and wait for the next WMP update that Microsoft releases, but this problem was posted on their KnowledgeBase since March I believe so they are well aware of it.....

9 month old Zen Micro with the headphone jack problem

So, I've been putting up with the headphone jack problem for a few months now, and i've finally decided to get it repaired or fixed. I emailed Creative a few months back and they told me to send it in. My question is, since I am out of warranty, will they repair the unit or send me a whole new one all together?
thanks,
mike

Actually, I just sent in my 7-month old Micro in b/c of the headphone jack problem and they sent me a brand new shrink-wrapped one. They didn't charge me for anything. All I had to do was wait 2 weeks for them to send it back to me (grueling but doable) and pay about 2.44 for shipping the micro to them. So now I'd have three batteries if it weren't for the fact that one of them swelled up; I have NO IDEA how that happened. So yeah I guess the point of the post is that you don't get charged anything even if you're out of the 90-day labor warranty.

Creative Zen Micro with a ! on its side: not work

I had the Zen Micro installed in my computer but it stopped working. If I now connect the portable device nothing appears, and it tells me that I have to install the drivers. I put the cd in, but at some point it gives me back an error message saying that the .inf files refers to a service that doesn't work. What am I supposed to do?Does it have anything to do with a usb problem?

ANY IDEAS?

Zen Micro with Windows 2000 Not Recogni

Help!! My computer operating Windows 2000 no longer recognizes my Zen Micro. It used to but no longer. I have searched through all the help loading everything under the sun with no success. My Micro is operating with Version ..0 that I understand should and has worked in the past with W2000.
Please help. This is ridiculous - no Zen here.

I finally figured that out. With ME or 2000, I needed to:
) download the version firmware to my memory stick
2) take the player and V firmware to an XP machine
3) have the older firmware flashed into the player
4) reinstall the player on the ME machine
I did all that, had Best Buy do the reflash, and it's working now.
A few more questions:
If I later update the computer to an XP, any problem with reinstalling Version 2 firmware (other than loosing stored data in the player)?
Exactly how many features are not supported by version firmware? I'm aware that it won't support subscription services, e.g., Napster To Go, and audible format. Are there any other missing I should be aware of?
TIA

Zen Micro with WMP 10 tutor

I now have the newest firmware and I have a simple enough system for transferring mp3s to the Zen Micro using Windows Explorer and the Zen Media Explorer. I like that the 2.x firmware lets me drag folders onto the player and it keeps the folders and sub folders intact. I use the Zen Media Explorer only to make playlists with the "organize music in device" function instead of the less flexible "create a new playlist in device" function
I was hoping to not need to use ANY Creative software at all after installing the new firmware but that hasn't happened yet because although I like WMP0 allot for playing videos and ripping CDs I have yet to figure out how to use it efficiently with the Zen Micro.
I kinda figured out how to get music onto the player (unfortunately this doesn't make folders on the player like if I do it through Windows Explorer) but I still have NO CLUE how to easily make and name playlists and THEN put those playlists onto the Zen Micro. ?
QUESTION: Is there a tutorial online somewhere that explains the use of WMP0 with the Zen Micro?
I have no use for any synching or stuff like that. I just want to dump files onto the player and make playlists of those files.

Windows Media Player 0 help files are very well done, and perhaps your answer is in there...
But as for folder creation: WMP0 arranges your music as Artist\Album\Song.mp3, doesn't matter how you have it structured on your computer, WMP0 will arrange it like that. If you use Windows Explorer then it will keep the same arrangement as your computer, like you already know.
Despite this arrangement, if you still want WMP0 to make folders on your player then:
Connect the Micro
Open up WMP0
Click on Tools-> Options
Click on Devices tab
Select your player and click Properties
Under the Synchronization tab check the box for Create folder hierarchy on device
As for playlist creation, WMP0 will only transfer playlists using the Auto-sync options. If you select which songs to transfer over then it will not transfer that playlist, just the songs inside it. To make a playlist you will have to use Zen Media Explorer, or whatever program that supports it like Media Source, or even make them manually on the player itself.

Results of sending Zen Micro with blank LCD in for repa

I was wondering if anyone who has had the blank or defecti've LCD problem with the Zen Micro has sent it in for repair? I've had mine longer than 3 months but less than a year and am wondering what its going to happen if I pay the initial $25 and send it in. How much is this likely to cost total, and what will the result be? Thanks a million!!!

Assuming you're from the USA, then you should only pay US$25, which is the standard fee for replacing the player.

New micro with the headphone problem fi

I just orded a new Zen micro off of ebay. How can i tell if it is a newer one with the headphone problem fixed? If does not come with the ac charger or the belt clip. Does that tell anything about the age. Any other way to see when my micro was manufactured? When did the headphone problem start getting fixed?

Im not sure that the creative people will honor my warranty, and I was wondering how much would it cost to have the jack problem fixed? It should be a recall, but I suppose that wont happen.

Euhhh New black Zen Micro with PINK LCD ?????? and windows unable to detect my mp3 play

please help me,the lcd is supose to be blue!
and i installed the 2 options on the cd and windows dont detect my mp3 players !
pls help thx

DM wrote:
The Micro can support pretty much any type of encoding and bit rate used in an MP3 file. However using a non-standard format (standard ones would be: 28, 60, 92, 320, etc...), may result in it not having the ability to transfer. VBR or CBR encoding techniques are supported using whatever encoder you like such as LAME.
If the file was not tagged properly then that could be a reason why WMP is refusing to transfer it, because if it was transfered then there is a risk that the player will have a hard time reading it and therefore freeze. Its just a precaution WMP might take, although I'm not certian on this eventhough it does seem logical that WMP is programmed to do this.
If its a WMA file then thats different, as the Micro does not support the Lossless encoding. And if you dont have the PFS firmware, you do but just mentioning, then it will also not support subscription songs.
Perhaps WMP itself isn't working correctly and needs an update? Check to see if any updates are available via the player itself and Windows Update.
If you can provide the techincal details of the songs that would be nice
Thanks DM for the answer, but as I wrote. There was a problem with my playlists, nothing to do with the player.
Cheers,
Jorge.

No, you can't access it from a PS2, you'll still need to connect to a PC.
