Nice suggestion..... But if the Zen Micro can play WMA files, why can't the iPod? Somethings just aren't needed....

But DM, are you serious... Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are like mortal enemies... I doubt the ipod will ever support WMA's, for the same reason it'll probably never be able to play subscription music files, until apple comes out with a subscription music service for itunes.

Petition to upgrade Zen Micro Photo to view pictures and play music at the same t

As you all are aware the iPod Nano faces off with zen Microphoto. Even though it isn't yet available at Creative.us and after waiting almost a year, I just had to grab one from Best Buy that sold out. I purchased it because of the huge 8GB harddri've, FM stereo receiver (that's how I get to know about new songs) and color photo capabilities. Unfortunately, everytime I try to watch a photo or play a slideshow, the music cuts off without warning and my bright and shiny player isn't a MP3 player anymore.Please, everyone, WRITE CREATIVE via Email and ask them to upgrade the firmware and software to stop turning off the music whenever we play photos. If the iPod Nano can do it... shouldn't the Zen MicroPhoto be able to do it also?Imagine not being able to play your sport team's music while you view your sports picture while you were playing ball. Imagine not hearing your wedding song while you view your wedding photos?Imagine not hearing your graduation song while you look back at your graduation pictures?How very horrible!Please petition Creative to fix this grave injustice please!Thank you ladies and gentlemen!Message Edited by Catherina-CL on 0-7-2005 0:33 PM

So, what you're saying is the iPod uses superior hardware components because they play images and music at the same time, even in the itty bitty Nano. Also, the iPod is able to "shuffle" photos so that you don't get bored seeing the same photos over and over again as in sequential mode.
There are a few players that do support music and photos... some will only limit one song per slideshow.
Furthermore, if you check the Zen Vision manual, creative's newest MP3 multimedia player... it does NOT support photos and music at the same time either.
In my opionion, it's a software issue, like I said, it displays only one image (background) during music play - if it couldn't, it would have shut off the image too. It's not that they CUT OUT creative features, but that they didn't write the software to allow the ZMP to "play" photos and music at the same time.
I mean, you can buy a PC for less than a ZMP and it can run several applications showing music and photo and videos at the same time.
I wouldn't buy the zen micro for nothing... there's just something special about having a color screen. I mean, who buys black & white TV these days?
With X-fi, I'm restoring my MP3 to higher quality, I'm sure the 8GB will come in handy as these filesize will only increase. And I got it because I'm hearing more and more music on the radio that I want to have... so my collection will only increase. I have over ,200MP3 at 320K which stood at 6.5GB.
As for you, consider that you're paying an extra $20 for 2 more GB and a 256K color display. It's well worth it over a 6GB monochrome MP3 player.

Zen Micro 5GB Organize Conta

Hello
I was wondering if there was a way to organize contacts by last name. Right now my is organizing by the first name. I would like to keep the display the same first name then last, but list in order by last name can anyone help?
Thanks

The contacts function is very basic on the Micro, you can just view them and step through them. Nothing else.

Zen Micro Organizer Functi

Hi to all!
I've been enjoying my Micro. :smileyvery-happy: Thanks CREATIVE! So far, I've had no battery problems. One bar lasted about 3-4 hours for me.
However, I'd like to know how to use the organizer functions. I've only managed to import contacts. How do you add/change tasks? It says use Microsoft Outlook. Is Microsoft Outlook Express the same? Because I can't seem to find anything on it that says add/change tasks (or the like of it). Please let me know. Thanks so much. I'm a rather forgetful person, so the reminders would be a major plus. :smileytongue:
Also, how do you activate the alarm? And how do you set a certain tune/album to wake you up in the morning?
Thanks again.

Hi Billsbabe,
First of all, let me answer your last question
You can activate the alarm this way:
Go to the main menu (press Back a few times), then select Extras, then Date & Time. If you press the Options button (right corner on the Micro), you'll get the option to set the alarm. Set the audio option to Play Any Track. If you select a particular track or album and have that as your Now Playing list, it'll play that song as the alarm (or one of the songs in the list).
You can find detail on how to use the organizer functions in the User's Guide. If you install the Zen Micro on your system (using the CD), you can go to Start> Programs> Creative> Creative Zen Micro> User's Guide. A section in the guide is called "Using Zen Micro's Organizer Features". It's probably best to look over that first as it should cover a lot of your questions, but if you have any specific questions or need more information after that, please post again.

I can´t organize files on my Zen Micro using MP10 (and can I get rid of the firmwar

Hi, I installed the software that came with the Zen, the first one hung up my computer (forgot what it was called) but media explorer seemed to work ok. I was recommended to install the firmare so that I could transfer files using MP0. I did this (one of the earlier versions). I drag and drop my music folders into MP0 and sincronize but when they are transfered I get new folder created with new names onto my Zen (album names, song names etc.) everything disordered and many folders with only one song in them. I can't seem to figure out how to organize my music. Is there a way of reformatting the player, get rid of the firmware and make it work properly with media explorer again (since media explorer doesn?t recognise the player after the firmware instalation) Please help, the sound quality of this player is great but music transfers and organizing is giving me a big headache.

Ear-Rock,
You can download the version of Zen Micro Media Explorer that support the MTP firmware you have now on the player. The version is 4.00.8 and is available on the website. You can also change the firmware to the PDE one by downloading and installing the PDE firmware version .02.05.

Help with zen micro! songs not appearing in creative mediasorce organiz

ok i decided to add a few songs to my zen micro and found out when i go to the mediasource organizer it woulden't detect my music! is my mp3 player corupt? i have even tried finding my music in windows exploror but that wont even detect it shows up blank but my mp3 player plays my music just fine. why!?

i tried installing from windows/INF and no luck there... the ONLY way it was recognized was when I configured the zen as a 4gig portablestorage dri've and that popped up immediately BUT only as storage!?I've reset it.. done the 'cleanup' stuff.. still no go. My XP install is a standard install, no quicktime and no WMP . what gives?I've looked at all pertinent articles but it doesnt seem like there is one specific fix for this.

Petition: Zen Micro's "Standby" time length to be user selecta

Currently, when you turn your Zen Micro off, it actually goes into "Standby" mode. The Zen Micro stays in a "Standby" ready state for 24 hour from the last time it was turned off. After 24 hours, the Zen Micro goes into a "Deep Sleep" mode.
"Standby" uses considerably more power from the Zen Micro's battery than "Deep Sleep" mode does. The difference between the two modes is that your Micro will be ready to use almost instanty if turned on from "Standby" and will take approximately 5 seconds to be ready to use if turned on from "Deep Sleep".
This petition is for a user selectable menu item to be added to the Zen Micro's "System/Player Settings" menu to adjust "Standby" - anywhere from a setting of "off" to "24" hours in whatever increments Creative feels are appropriate with 24 hours as default.
If this option were implemented, those who did not mind waiting 5 second for their Micro to be ready to play music would find their batteries last longer if leaving the Micro idle for some time because it would not be draining power in "Standby". Those who use the Zen Micro often, could leave "Standby" at 24 hours, so the player would be ready immediately for them. It's a win-win option.
Please note, this petition isn't a discussion thread - it's simply to show Creative if there is interest from Zen Micro owners for such an option being added to a future firmware update from Creative.
Thank-you and please consider signing.<Update (March 28th, 2005): 45 signatures collected in this petition at the time of this edit! Thank-you everyone and please keep them coming!JazzMC has taken the initiati've and written a sort of FAQ with all the information to date gathered in one place regarding this power drain of the Zen Micro while off (in standby).

MS Organizer - music won't load on my Zen Micro Playl

Hey, I've had a reoccuring problem regarding mediasource organizer. Lately, if I load music on my Zen Micro in one of the playlists, there are times where it looks like the songs are being loaded without a problem. However, the playlist is still completely empty. If I check out the "music" section in my Micro, the music's there. And if I try to re-load the songs from on my desktop in the playlist, it still won't show up. I've never had this problem and am clueless as to how to solve it. I have Windows XP and version 3 of mediasource organizer (I tried v5 before I reformatted - I didn't like it). Any help would be appreciated!
- Jeff

I am still having this issue. I have attached it in various usb ports, the mediasource 5 works and reads it. I cannot use the much easier explorer. I have WMP I have SP2 all upgraded firmwares etc... If anyone knows what to do please help.

PETITION: Mini games in a future Zen Micro firmware upgr

I think it would be an excellent idea for Creative to involve some kind of mini game(s) in a future firmware upgrade for the Zen Micro. My reasons are as follows:
iPods and even iPod Minis both have simple mini games, this could be a good selling point.</LI>
A simple Pong- like game would be perfect to play while listening to music, when waiting in a movie theatre, etc. (I mentioned Pong because the Micro's set up is perfect for it).</LI>
This could be a potential make-or-break selling point for the Micro, as one of the only things that I see better with the iPod over the Micro is it's few games.</LI>
The games don't need to be anything big, but like I said, something simple like Pong to do while waiting. Thank you for reading my petition and it would be great if you signed.

Creative MediaSource Organizer w/ Zen Micro Probl

Hey, i just recieved my refurbished Zen Micro from creative, and my Creative MediaSource Organizer wont wont.(It used to work on my old zen micro when i first got it, but then after a while, the organizer wont even open). So i uninstalled all creative programs i had, and reinstalled them using the Zen Micro Installation Disc. The computer can detect my Micro and i can put songs on through Zen Media Explorer. But it was much more convinent to use Organizer. Got any ideas? Thanks.
p.s. when i click on MediaSource Organizer, it says it cannot find CTCMS.exe and before i re-installed it, i clicked the icon and nothing happened.

Zen Xtra 30G
I have the same problem. I have actualized my Zen Xtra with the firmware: 2.0.03 and the Creative Mediasource doesn't recognize the Zen Xtra since then.
I have the latest mediasource ( 3.30.2 ), which requires windows xp sp2 (that I have).
The compluter explorer does recognize it, but not the organizer, so it is awful trying to organize songs.
Do I need another version of MediaSource?
Can I organize songs with Windows Media Player? because it only recognizes it to sincronize, but not to change the name of the songs and so on.
Help!!! Please!!
Thanks

Petition for Zen Micro to have double-click capabil

I would like to submit a petition to have the Zen Micro have double-click capability. We all experience the annoyance of the sensitivity of the touch pad. It seems to response to any single click we do. Now, instead of having a single click, let?s have a double-click. Except for the volume control, let?s have every function, or most functions response with a double click. If we want to play, double click. If we want to go to the menu, double click. If we want to select an option, double click. If we want to select a window in the menu, double click.

What do people think? Any other suggestion regarding this? I hope people sign. I would love this option. I think it would allow me to select tracks, and control volume (among many other things) while the Micro still being in my pocket.

Also, is there a place I should send this to to have Creative read the petition?

Thanks.

It's not so much as making things idiotproof. That's why people put up petitions. It's to make things more convenient that makes the usage easier. It also adds options. People don't have to use it if they don't like. Personally, I like it because you wouldn't hit any button by accident, especially if it's in your pocket.

Slight Zen Micro/Creative MediaSource Organizer Prob

i have a 5gb zen micro and when i plug it in to add songs, it says device not found when I double click on the Creative MediaSource Organizer...but when i go to My Computer...it says that it has found Zen Micro Media Explorer and all the cords are tight and everyting
Could any one help me? espically SSR?
Thanks
p.s. this happened to me before and i uninstalled my Zen Micro Software and re-installed it and that fixed it, but i want to find another way to solve it besides un-installing then re-installing

What do you mean by "it says device not found when I double click on the Creative MediaSource Organizer"? Do you see a Zen Micro node in the Sources panel?

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.

PETITION - ZEN MICRO UPGRADE PROGRAM TO ZM PH

The Zen Micro has cause a lot of heartaches, disappointments and have left a lot of customers frustrated with the quality, stability and effecti'veness of Creative's customer service, yet, they are still pushing for the Fall/Winter to come out with the Zen Micro Photo:
http://www.engadget.com/entry/234000630054279
I petition that if Creative is going to come out with a newer version of the Zen Micro, that should allow customers and a chance to upgrade their Micro, to HOPEFULLY *fingers crossed* a more stable version of the Zen Micro with a possible small fee or difference.
The latest claims, which Im sure will be disproved by the Customer Testers of the Micros:
5hr battery life
8GB Harddri've
0 Colors
$250 US

This idea doesn't make any sense to me, other than letting current Micro owners get something better for cheap, which is not the business that Creative is in. (When I say "better" I mean more features, not better quality.) What about owners of other Creative models? Should they get this upgrade? Should owners of the Zen Xtra and Touch get upgrades to the Sleek? Creative would have to hire an entire new department just to handle these upgrades.
If you had problems with your original Micro why didn't you take it up with Creative? They should have been able to do something to help you out with it. If you did take it up with Creative, you should be satisfied with the Micro you have by now. Creative told me last week (before I got my Sleek, when I was still considering the Micro) that all the hardware issues had been resolved; presumably this means all new Micros have corrected hardware. So if to resolve your complaint they sent you a new one, it would be the improved one, the Zen Micro 2.0, if you will.
I could see perhaps if Creative offered some nominal discount to owners of Zen Micro (non-photo) who wanted to send their old unit in for recycle; then the user could get, say, a $20 off the Micro Photo. Otherwise this isn't really a good marketing decision; it's just pandering to Zen Micro owners. If you want the Micro Photo, buy it. If you want to switch to another brand, do it.
Another two cent contribution.

Petition: Zen Micro customisable standby t

The link from the FAQ returned a "Page not Found". It probably drop off from the forum already so i am gonna create a new one. Since battery life is a big issue for zen micro, i believe a user customisable standy time would be very useful to increase the battery life. And 4 hours is still a very long time, and if it's up to me, i would set it to 5-0 minutes for my zen micro to enter sleep mode. Why 4 hours anyway? that's 4 hours of uneccessary battery wastage. I believe when most people shut off thier player, they want it off, as in completely "OFF".
Sign the petition if you fell the same way, hopefully it'll be implemented in the next firmware update, whenever that's gonna be.
