New accessories for Zen micro? New firmwa

i'm most likely gonna buy the zen micro tonight. i figure that it is creative's new "flagship" model so that means its prob. gonna get the most firmware, acc., and most support. if anyone has a reason i shouldnt get it let me know, i've read all the stuff about freezes and everything, but i'm sure by christmas there will be plenty of firmware for all these probs. hopefully lol. also, are there any 3rd party accessories for the micro, like skins or cases or anything? any new firmware about to be realeased?

In Japan, the remote comes with the Zen Micro (still doesn't justify the $80 dollar price increase!!). I tried using the remote and found it to be a waste. I wouldn't bother buying it. When I am wearing a jacket I put the Micro in my jacket breast or side pocket. When I am not wearing a jacket, I use the case and belt clip.
Unless you make massi'vely long playlists and would thus keep the Micro in your bag for LONG periods of time, the remote is essentially useless. It only has volume, puase, play, and next track controls, and no display of course.
Just my thoughts on the remote. The clip sucks on the remote too. It's too small to clip to the strap on my bag securely.

  • What to do if new firmware for zen micro is not for you

    Ok its pretty simple, takes long but it should work (never been tested)
    Uninstall the new firmware (keep all your songs saved onto PC music library)Install the cd you were given with the zen micro.You'll have all your songs on your pc library ( i would reccomend clearing out you zen micro music library and just putting the pc music library songs on your zen micro from there) so just transfer all the files you want onto the zen micro and it should be running fine.please reply and tell me what happens.Zenmastertml

    Hi Prakash,
    As per GAAP - FI general accepting account principal,
    Balance is define as on date,
    while transaction/P&L can define for perticular period date range.
    Here, I guess you want to see balance as on 30.06.2011
    and transaction for 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011.
    Am i right?
    FYI, If you use 0BALANCE for any period, let say 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011
    then it will show balance for last day 30.06.2011
    because its aggregation is SUM, LAST Value on time characteristics.
    More detail on requirement will help us to provide you better solution.

  • Question about the new battery for zen micro/ zen microph

    i just reacently noticed that creative has a new bettery the?Li-Ion Battery (830mAh) for ZEN MICROPHOTO/ ZEN MICR0 on there website they say it gives longer battery lifeand i was wondering how true this could be because i would like to get more than 6 to 8 hours out of my zen micro

    The Zen MicroPhoto uses more power than the Zen Micro would, so it has a better battery. But you can use this battery with the Zen Micro and it should last longer than your original battery.

  • New cases for ZEN MP (and ZEN Micro) - and other accessor

    All,
    Not sure if anyone noticed this, but there is a new case available in the US for the ZEN Micro Photo and the ZEN Micro. It's the Belkin Sport Case for ZEN Micro Photo and can be seen here:
    http://us.creative.com/products/prod...y=&product=454
    Also coming very soon is going to be a leather case from Belkin for the exact same players. It's not up quite yet as we are waiting for stock still but it should be up in the next few days. I'll post when it comes up.
    We also added a Belkin TuneDok for ZEN Micro/MicroPhoto: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...7&product=4535
    and a Sync Adaptor for ZEN Vision:M: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...7&product=4539

    I think it really depends on what you are looking for. The ZM/ZMP leather case has a cover that you have to open and shut to access the controls unless you have the remote and there is only a belt loop on the back versus a clip if you want to attach it to your body. The Belkin case has an open style front but fully protected with plastic and has three options of carrying (hand strap, waist strap or removable swi'vel clip). Plus it is neoprene whereas the other case is leather.
    So I guess it depends on what you are looking for.
    BTW ... I have the Pdaden/Capdase leather flip case in black for my ZMP and it is fabulous for the price $24.00 shipped. Has a removable swi'vel clip and the leather is surprisingly nice quality for the price. It is a flip case, so you have to open the cover to access controls but I'm interested in the Belkin because the front is accessible.

  • Ipod cable/accessories for Zen sleek

    I don't know why Creative decide to use a new connection for Zen Sleek instead of the standard mini 5 pin USB2 connection.
    While looking for a new cable (and a compact car charger) for my new Zen Sleek, I noticed that the new Philips HD MP3 player and all Ipod seem to have the same kind connection.
    Have anyone attempted to use Ipod cable on Zen Sleek? It seems that most after market accessories are made for Ipod so it would be very very nice if Zen Sleek uses the same connection. Perhaps I am day dreaming.

    OK, don't get caught by this - there's a company that specializes in travel & replacement cables for cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players. Their name is Gomadic, and they have a very slick system - there's a standard USB male on one end and a receptacle like a mini-headphone receptacle on the other. You can get a very wide variety of end-connectors that plug into that receptacle and mate with just about anything you can think of. They claimed to have the connector for the Sleek, and I ordered it. However, when I got it, the end connector was a standard mini-USB male. I called them and they said "oops!" They just found out that Creative put this oddball connector on the Sleek while all the rest of Creative's players use the mini-USB. I can still use the thing for my camera and some other stuff though. They told me to keep it and gave me full credit on my credit card because of the error. So, I guess if you want a free travel connector for any of your kit that uses a mini-USB, order the cable for the Sleek from them before they correct their website!

  • Zen Micro - New Downloads - Applications (With or without *PlaysForSu

    Are these entirely NEW applications or Upgrades to the current Explorer, Sync Mgr, Import Wiz, CD Rip Wiz software ?
    Will there be any selections required when executing ZENM_PCAPP_LB__00__MTP.exe ?
    Please advise...
    Thanks in Advance...

    Sharkman205,
    The install only requires that you have the drivers for the Zen Micro installed and have the MTP firmware installed. They contain the entire application.
    The Firmware requires that the drivers for the Zen Micro are installed. You will also want to back up your songs. Otherwise it should be an easy operation to install the upgrade.

  • Zen Micro - New Models and Australian Pric

    I am looking at purchasing a Zen Micro however before I do I have a few queries:
    ** According to the US Creative website, a 4GB and 6GB Micro will be launched very soon.
    ) Does anyone know when these variations will be available in Australia?
    2) And will they have any different features to the 5GB model (apart from differing memory)?
    ** The US pricing is around 20% cheaper than Aussie prices. Currently the 5GB model retails for ~A$370 in Australia vs ~US$229 (A$290) in the US.
    3) What is the reason for the difference in price?
    4) What are the anticipated prices for the 4GB and 6GB models (when released)?
    5) Should I hold off my purchase until the next round of price drops hit Australia?

    5. There's always some price drop around the corner
    Well I was going to buy a Zen Micro 5GB today, but now I am going to hang out and see if I can pick up a 6GB for around the same price. Hopefully these hit Australia shores, at a reasonable price soon. <B>Does anyone have an inkling on how long products take to hit Australia? (Weeks/months)?[/b]
    This has been the most dynamic few months in the MP3 market for sometime. *Fingers crossed* Creative can keep competiti've against Apple - Apple's recent price drop almost saw me rush out and buy a new mini (even with all it's limitations).

  • Question about the new firmware for Zen Mi

    Does the recent update for the Micro allow the user to use Zen Micro Media Explorer unlike the update from December?

    You have to upgrade the Explorer version to the one that is enabled for "MTP" firmware, which can be downloaded for free from the creative download section. I'm using the beta firmware, and it works pretty well for me, and I like the autosync feature with WMP0.

  • [Zen Micro] New Firmware 1.10.02 - standby adjustme

    Just downloaded this firmware but have not installed it:
    Creative Zen Micro Firmware .0.02
    "This web release enables you to upgrade the firmware for your , 4, 5 or 6GB Creative Zen Micro player.
    You can upgrade from Creative Zen Micro firmware .02.05 or earlier, or Zen Micro PlaysForSure? firmware 2.00.2 or later. After upgrading, you cannot go back to a previous Creative Zen Micro firmware version."
    ====
    I do not want to install this to my Micro if I cannot go back to a firmware that I know works (.02.05), but it is (I think) the latest ... There is however, nothing in the description that says this is the firmware that will allow for a shorter standby time.
    Any brave souls want to give this a try and report on it ...
    I'm too chicken when it comes to 'no rollback firmware'.
    jake

    belay that and sorry for posting this without thoroughly searching through the forum ...
    From a post on nomadness.net:
    All,
    .0.02 is the PDE firmware that enables the 4hr. standby timer. There will be an MTP version that does this also, however the PDE firmware was ready first so we released it ASAP.
