Zen Micro Disk Size 5GB

Hi,
I just bought a Zen Micro mp3 player, 5GB. With Creative Mediasource I copied all my mp3 and WMA music to the Zen Micro. If I right-click in XP on my Music folder, Windows tells me the total size on disk is 2.9GB, 595 files.
BUT, after 500 files I get a warning saying that the destination is Full ?? But the Zen Micro is 5GB !?!?
How is this possible ? I checked some file sizes on the Zen Micro, and compared them with XP file sizes, but they are the same !?
What is going on here ?
Thanks
Roger Luijten

It also depends on what you have your bit rate at.
for example, if it is set at wma 60kbps you will only be able to fit about 800 - 000 songs on it.
the only way the zen micro can hold 2,500 songs on it is if you set the bit rate to wma at 64kb
ps.
I have all my songs set to wma 60kbps and i'm already takin up 40% of my hard dri've space: with 384 songs on it so far.

Do I need a new Battery or is my zen micro just brok

I got my zen micro about a year ago and i have yet to replace the only battery that i own. I noticed about a month ago that i have to push the "lever thing to turn it on" to the left harder than i usually do, and now it won't even turn on unless i do it really hard. Ever since i noticed the change i have been putting it to the idle mode just so that i could avoid using the "lever thing" as little as possible.
PLEASE HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP! I need help!

MissArtist32,
the figures you provide indicate that your battery is so close to completely dead that it is a wonder that it will run your computer at all. A Full Charge Capacity of 410mAh is less than a tenth of what it was when new.
The fact that you have only completed 63 cycles in more than three years probably explains why. Even with normal use 3 years is quite a good "lifespan", but Lithium Ion batteries need regular use to prevent deterioration. Most batteries of this age will have been through at least a couple of hundred "cycles".
Once you get a new battery try to let it get through at least one discharge / charge cycle every week. The best way to do this is to use it for brief periods of time off the charger ever day or so, rather than charging it right up and draining it right down.
But one thing is for sure. Your battery is in very , very poor condition indeed. Time to buy a new one.
Cheers
Rod

Zen Micro #2 - USB Device Not Recognized / Malfunct

Hello again, all -
I am now getting the error of "device not recognized" / "device has malfunctioned" when I plug my Zen Micro into my PC (running XP SP2).
This is actually the second Micro that I've had, with the first one returned (through Newegg.com) for exactly the same problem. That first one I actually went as far as wiping off my old OS and re-installing (thinking that I had just hosed up the USB drivers somehow), but I still got the same error.
After replacing the first Micro, I got my new Micro in the mail and it has/had worked beautifully up until today. The only thing I did notice was that it did not seem to like working side-by-side with my Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0, the system apparently confused the two. As soon as I'd plug the player in, the mouse would behave strangely - sporatically moving and then stopping, before just stopping all together. Reverting back to an old PS/2 mouse during times of transfer would solve the problem.
I am now getting exactly the same old malfunctioned/unrecognized error with XP with my Micro. I plug it in, and the "charging" symbol shows up and freezes in the top right corner of the player's screen (it's not flashing as it should be). The player is completely frozen. At the same time, the XP error box pops up in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Things I've tried:
() Zen Micro disk cleanup - with no effect
(2) Registry clean up - deleted all instances of my USB mouse, the Zen Micro itself, and all "UNKNOWN" located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00\Enum\USB - with no effect
(3) Removed / re-installed the Creative Jukebox Driver (with new June 05 version) - with no effect
I am not about to format my PC all over again since this problem is identical to my previous occurrence on my old player, and I believe it will do nothing.
I have no other PC here at home to test this with on another PC, perhaps I will take it into work with me tomorrow.
USB is a truly crappy protocol, but I'm going to have to put most of the blame on Creative here for what I see as probably the worst technical support I've ever experienced. The lack of support for this product is incredible, with voodoo-like "try this, in this order" suggestions that are nothing other than a shot in the dark by them.
Such a shame - this is a great player when it actually works, but it looks like my players from them might be batting 0 for 2. Definitely will think twice about buying their any of their follow-on products, as yet another "next generation" of players is just around the corner.
Any suggestions as to what I should do? It's looking like a hardware (Micro) failure to me, as upon attempting communication with the PC it immediately freezes (while my other devices work beautifully).

Did you try the player on another PC? This will narrow down where the problem is very quickly.

Zen Micro Frozen Scr

I power-on my Zen Micro as I usually do. The player turns on but i can not navigate through the player because the touchpad does not seem to be registering. Then, powering-off does not work either. I must remove my battery in order to turn player off.
When I boot into Recovery Mode, it is the same issue. I believe my device is defecti've but Creative just recently replaced it approx. 2 months ago.
Is there anything that I can do?

I have the very same problem! About 2 months ago my Zen Micro?broke (after having it for 3 to 4?months). I took it back to the store, they send it to the factory and i got a brand new one free of charge. This was about a month ago...today i wanted to turn it on and it just froze and i have to take the battery out if i want to turn of the player. This is ridiculous, i haven't done anything weird with it, i have a protection skin around it and it's only month old! I have been very carefull with it. Im thinking of going back to the story and ask? for my money back....im done with MP3 players,? i miss the CD players!?

Zen Micro and driver installat

Running Windows XP SP2. Windows Media Player . Zen Micro with latest firmware (2.2.02).Have had this unit for a couple of years, been working fine, other than the software-driver installations have always been a pain in the you-know-what. Re-formatted puter a couple of months ago, did not re-install creative software. So today I decide to reinstall. First I used Control Panel to remove some Creative folders that were still in place for one reason or another. Then went to Creative's website, download latest drivers.Here's what I downloaded:CMS5_BRNR_PCAPP_LB_5_0_3CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_ LB_5_00_36CMS5_NJB2_PCAPP_LB_5_00_22CMS5_PCAPP_LB_ 5_0_38JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US_2_0_00ZCST_PCAPP_LB__04_06? I assumed I would need to install the driver first, which I did (JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US_2_0_00). Then connected zen. The "new hardware" thingy came up, went through the screens, pointed it to the jukebox folder which contained?two .inf files, and neither one would work. Get a message about the files not containing any device info.Going through the screens and pointing to the MTP device drivers gives me a message that the device may not be compatible, so I cancel.At this point, when the device is connected, it shows up in Device Manager as a USB device with the yellow question mark. Mediasource will not recognize it. I try some other things, surf through the support forums here, find a bunch of cryptic posts that, while related,?and after trying a few of the "suggestions", don't do anythinig to solve my problem. Went through the little things in Knowledge Base that creative tells you to do in case of this problem, which only lead back to uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling "by just following the prompts on the screen" (what a great help that is), which takes me back to the beginning of my problem without anything being resolved.So I drag out the original CD, install all the crap on there, and viola!...same problem. I downloaded and tried using JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03, same results. I'm now getting discouraged with Creative. I've killed two hours this fine morning trying to get this thing going. I have to tell you, your "support"?for this problem, and others, which from the amount of posts on the forums is not a rare one, is very lacking. It seems you have decided to put very simplistic solutions?on your knowledge base, but if the problem is a little more?involved, then you leave it up to the public in the forums to be the ones to figure it out! At this point, I am never going to purchase anything with the words "Creative" on them again!?Just tell me how to get this thing working again, in plain english. Please??

Now I am having the same problem. I too had a pc problem a few months ago and am now setting up a new/used pc.
I installed my Zen Nano software and my Zen Vision software but I could not find the Zen Micro Disk. So I downloaded the drivers from this site and installed them. Then I downloaded the new version 2 firmware while I was at it since I had an the version that did not support the audible.com books.
The firmware install seemed to stall for about 30 minutes, so I cancelled it and started again and the error message said that it "DOES NOT FIND ANY DEVICE" and yet Win XP recognizes I have a device attached.
PLEASE HELP US CREATIVE SUPPORT STAFF! I have had my Zen Micro for a few years and don't think it is fair that I have to stop using it becasue of this issue. It is only fair we get some timeley support here please.
Thank You in advance for your anticipated speedy reply.

Petition: Zen Micro Removable Disk memory space up to 5

Hi happy owners of Zen Micro Player!
First of all, I would like to congratulate Creative for their Zen Micro Player which is really great. But as usual, customers still want the best and try to get a product that really answers their needs. That's why I'm writting this petition to improve the Zen Micro Player options.
I simply ask Creative to update a firmware in which it would be possible to set up the Removable Disk memory space up to maximum capacity that is 5Go instead of limiting it to 2Go!
So follow me, sign my petition and ask for more, ask for more USB mass storage memory!!!
Thank you very much!
Hello from France to everybody!

you mean Gb, Gigabits.
And if you have firmware 2.00.2, connecting your player to any XP system will make it show up in "My Computer" as a removable device. You can browse it using explorer and drag&drop files as you wish. This means you can use up all of it's available space for files.
But, I think you got a point. It will not be recognized on 9x systems, unless you enable the removable dri've option, and it would be nice to be able to use it as a removable HD if you needed it.
Consider this your first signature.

Zen Micro Lockup - Hard disk failu

Zen Micro froze while playing an MP3 file. Had to remove battery to reboot. Can hear the hard disk seeking ~25 times during powerup before it freezes at the "CREATIVE" logo screen. Rescue mode commands - reformat/reboot/disk clean up has no effect. Can't hear any hard disk activity when unit held close to ear.
Firmware version is v0.0.56. Hard disk had ~750KB of free space. Unit was sitting still on desk at time of failure. Used less than 2 weeks.
Aside: Have experienced several lockups with this device during playback and docking. All were resolved by removing battery. Firmware seems to be very buggy.
Already logged a formal e-mail support request. Wonder if anybody has experience similar failures.

You do hear of them from time to time. It might be that the heads have jammed, in which case you can try the advice here at your *own risk*.

Lost disk, cannot synchronize Zen micro

Can anybody help me with my Zen micro? (probably 2006) ?We have e new computer and I cannot find the software disk.
I've tried a lot of the downloads on the support site, but I still cannot synchronize in the downloaded software or the?Microsoft media player. The message that the device is not connected keeps appearing. One of the downloads made it possible to load the Zen with songs, but I still cannot sync, remove or change the name of the songs.
I've tried new firmware and recovery software but then again the same message,player is not connected keeps coming up!? Can anyone tell me how I can synchronize with media player of synch in any other way?!
Thank you!

None original sofware actually! The original disk that came with my zen is lost (moving and new computer)? I downloaded creative jukebox driver and tried mediasource 5 aswell. Jukebox driver made it possible to write to the zen.
Mediasource 5 didn't work. so I removed it again. In the mediasource the message that no device was found kept coming up....
When you installed CMS5 did? you also install the Plug-in for it's Without the plug-in it's pretty much just a media player.You would need to install the plug-in version 5.00.22. located on page . Install CMS5 version 5.0.38 first then the plug-in.

ZEN MICRO: MY HEADPHONE JACK IS BROK

My headphone jack is broken. Does anyone know how to fix it's?When I stick my headphones into the jack, I can still hear sound, but it depends on how I'm holding my mp3 player. If i hold it in a certain position, only one headphone might work or one might be louder than the other one. I don't know what's wrong and this problem is really bugging me. Somebody HELPP!

It's faulty and must be replaced by Creative. Is your warranty still in effect? How long have you own your Micro? If you li've in the U.S, the first 90 days of your warranty will cover Parts & Labor, after 90 days you will have 9 months left of Parts only. Labor will cost you around $25 I think. And you have to pay for shipping and handling to Creative.
Or you can fix it yourself if you know you are going to void the warranty and know how to use a soldering iron or know someone that knows how to fix electronics. Creative isn't going to fix that headphone jack, they will only replace it. That doesn't mean you won't get a headphone jack problem again.
Not sure if this is a common problem throughout Zen Micros.
I own my Micro for almost a year now, no serious problems yet. I did have a small incident with the sound but hopefully it was just an accident and I didn't push my headphones all the way in.
Causes of the headphone jack could be Creative's fault in manufacturing it, normal wear and tear, forcefully plugging in/out the headphones, causing pressure to the headphone jack when your headphones are plugged in, and/or wrapping the headphones around the player.

ZEN Micro brok

I have a Creative ZEN Micro. I can hear well some songs (classical music for example) but when I want to listen to rock music I can't hear the voice... Do you think it may depend on jack output or it may be an internal problem?And what about Creative assistance? Will they help me though waranty time has finished?

I have the same problem with mine. It sounds like the jack because I have tried different headphones. I am trying to figure out if they can fix this problem or not.

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.

Zen Micro- reliability?!?

I purchased a zen micro and after 2 months it broke! i was able to turn it on and off by wiggling the headphone wire?!?! this ment it would turn itself on and waste my battery. I sent it back and got a replacement and now the touchpad has gone! when i try 2 turn the volume up/go up on a menu it goes down, as it does wen i scroll down on the touch pad. This means it is now on volume level 0 and i have no way of turning it up! Has anyone else had these problems? or am i just unlucky and have had 2 crap micros?

Some people have had problems, but it's difficult to say if there's a reliability issue short of seeing Creative's return figures (something we're unlikely to get!).
On your second player, have you tried a reset and a disk cleanup, and reloading the firmware?

Zen Micro crashed, now cant get into me

I shut my micro down, it stuck on the shutting down screen, I left it for a while then i took the battery out, when I put it back in now it comes up with the creative logo and non of the buttons work ?
Anyone had this problem, im not happy opnly got it friday and its broke already !

DON'T DO THIS! The small hole on the Micro is NOT a reset switch! It's the MICROPHONE!
To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro you need to remove the battery. While replacing the battery in the back of the player, switch the power button over and keep it held over. The player should boot up into Rescue Mode and from there you should be able to select Clean Up. This acts as a defrag of your firmware and should reset the player to default. If this doesn't work or the player freezes during the clean up try a Format All ( this will erase all media on the hard disk) Again, if this freezes or hangs, the player will most likely need to be replaced.

Creative Zen Micro - FM Radio Bro

Hi, I want to explain my bad experience with a Creative Zen Micro 6GB.
I bought it in late December 2005, and until now always worked fine.
Suddently, some days ago the Radio FM men? disappeared, as described in some other messages here in the forum. I've tryed to reset it, and to upgrade firmware again.
The upgrade procedure went fine, the reset/disk cleanup/format ecc. from Recovery Men? went fine too, but as final result the FM Radio doesn't work anymore at all.
Sometimes FM Radio men? appers, sometimes not (yes, randomly); moreover, when I try to enter FM Radio men?, the Creative Zen locks
I think I can't do anything else more, I already contacted Creative for support.
I already had nice experience with Creative support, so I don't worry too much; I'm just annoyed that a brand new product broke so soon...

just a straight stereo patch cable (like with the headphone jack on both ends)...from your player to the line in jack on your sound card. they are like 5 bucks at radio shackMessage Edited by flyer608 on 02-07-2005 2:50 AM
