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.

  • Creative zen micro removable disk sp

    When I go to copy files, on xp it will say cannot find specified file after a while of copying, different file every time, data is lost and someething. I re-format it every seperate time (I have to). I originally tried on ubuntu. Freezes after a couple hundred megabytes.
    I would try to copy less files at once but I am hoping for an answer to make it more stable since I wanted to backup files not put them on the most precarious storage device I've ever used.
    I think the hard dri've is wrecked again but just verifying.

    sorry about the first post..dont know what happened... But anyways, hello. I have a problem with ymk removable disk. i put data that i NEED on there and i ahd to wipe my computer dri've. when i got it up and running again and it did the self install of the removable disk drivers it makes the ZEN MIRCO REMOVABLE DISK show up as a disk dri've and not a removable disk dri've. when i try to access it it says it needs to be formatted. I have uninstalled it and done it again (through device manager) and it still came up a a disk dri've..any idea how to fix this?

  • Will the Zen Micro removable disk work with a Mac Comput

    I know that certain macs have a USB port, so is it compatible with the ZM removable disk? Can I plug my ZM into the Mac via USB port, and transfer files through the removable disk function?

    Yes, the removable disk will work with the Mac.

  • 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). It's a great read for those who want more information about the subject and you can view the document by clicking here: Zen Micro Power Loss.

  • 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.

  • 4.2gigs on my Zen micro and won't let me put any more

    I have put 4.2 gigs worth of mp3s on my Zen Micro but when I try to add any more I am informed that the destination dri've is full! Why?
    I am using the playsforall firmware etc etc so I can drag and drop directly from my hard dri've.
    Is this the reason? Is there any way I can get my full 5 gigs of space? I don't want any of the other features on the zen, I don't want to record audio etc etc, just put my mp3s on there. Also How can I tell how much space on my zen has actually been used? I tried right click on the device -> properties but it doesn't tell me.
    suggestions?

    You might want to try a disk cleanup, and format is also available from Rescue Mode. To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
    Note that the tracks will take up more space than their collecti've size, which is the nature of disk systems. But I'm not sure what space they will take up, and the cluster size on the Creative player.

  • Zen Micro: firmware problem with 2.00.

    Hello,
    I just bought the Zen Micro and did an upgrade of its firmware to 2.00.2 before playing around with it.
    I then ripped CDs using WinMP 0 and tried to sync the device.
    After around 30 songs, the Zen Micro did not accept any more songs.
    I also tried the Zen explorer way by copying files directly to the device.
    Same problem after about 30 songs, the device stops responding...
    Any clue?
    Thank you
    Nicolas

    First easy thing to try is a disk cleanup. To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
    If that doesn't help, and to check if there is an issue between your PC and the player, try and find another PC you can test with. If the other PC works OK this suggests a USB incompatibility, so the quick solution might be to buy a good quality PCI USB card like Adaptec or Belkin. Not a wonderfully elegant solution, but USB cards are generally cheap and it might solve the issue immediately.

  • Zen Micro Control proble

    Hey guys, I just recieved a micro for christmas and noticed on mine, when the battery level indicates I have two bars left The control just freezes up on me and end up having to actually push hard on the touch pad for them to work. Is this a defect? Thx all.

    First time I've heard mention of it. I would check that you have at least the .0.03 firmware, and that you've run a disk cleanup. To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

  • Creative Zen Micro freezes at startup with Creative logo on screen

    Sorry for the long topic name, but it anoys me when people just say help, or pls help me! for topic names (Because I have no idea what they want). I tried the firmware update, and cleanup, but even though I only have about 527MB on it, (Just got it yesterday) it takes until the battery runs out to do any of the tasks in that mode, except reboot. Also, when I try plugging it into my comp, the comp acts as if nothing is plugged in. I check my computer, and it isnt even there! Please help, cause I just got it, and because I really dont want to return this thing. (The only thing stopping me from going ipod)

  • ZEN micro - music library (artist and alb

    Hi,
    I just got the Micro for xmas and installed the software. I now have two issues. After converting all my iTunes songs into mp3s, the artist and album won't show up. I've right clicked my Folders tab to include the artist and album and it lists on my Details section for view but not in Creative Library...any suggestions?
    I have hundreds of songs and going through each and everyone just to add artist and album will take forever.
    Second and more importantly: My micro starts up and I'm able to hear the clicks in the touchpad but it won't do anything. It shows 3 demo songs but they won't even play. I connect the USB to the micro and it shows "NEW HArdware detected" then a few minutes later it says, "device not connected" - i'm gonna see if the store i bought it from has any suggestions but figured I would try here as well. Thanks!

    . Chances are the converted songs don't have tag data. Use a tagging program to check, and add the required data. There's no real shortcut I'm afraid but a mass tagging program (which most are) should make easier work of it.
    2. Sounds odd and like the player is faulty. Can you access the Rescue Mode to see if you can run a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

  • Zen Micro memory space prob

    I have deleted all of the files I could possibly find on my Zen and it still says I only have 762MB of space out of 5839MB. I'm extremely frustrated, I've tried everything I can think of (which isn't much as it turns out), and I am most definitely not a technical person. Please help if anyone knows a possible solution.
    Thank You,Candace

    . Make sure that battery is charged.
    2. Detach your player from your PC, and ensure that it is turned off.
    3. Remove the battery.
    4. Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and re-insert the battery to the Zen Micro. Hold the Power button until the Recovery Mode appears.

  • Micro zen removable disk upgraded capacity,why only 4

    Just upgraded my firmware, glad to see that it now has the option to increase my removable disk capacity to a max of 4GB.But where is the 2.5GB and 3GB option?Why jump straight to 4GB?
    Wouldn't it be more logical to have that as most of the time, the mp3s in the player would be GB++, having just 2GB and 4GB options leaves us with little option to store music or recordings..Hope the next firmware upgrade would have this added feature

    ...... I don't understand.
    You want 2 or 3 gig, then you complain about 4 gig not being enough?
    Can you plz explain what the heck you are talking about...
