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.....

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 <i>Create folder hierarchy on device</i>
    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.

  • Creating Playlist On Zen Micro - Adds Entire Album, Not Selected S

    I'm attempting to create a playlist while in my Zen Micro. I have a song playing and go to the song and select "Save as Playlist", and I assign it a name. When I go look at the playlist it has included the entire album in the playlist, not just the selected song. Is there any way of adding single tracks rather than entire albums (other than creating them externally using Creative's software)?
    Thanks....

    You have to go to the main menu, select Now Playing, a song should show there, then use the bottom right hand option button (right click) and there should be a selection to clear all from Now Playing. I don't have my Zen Micro here with me so I can't tell you exactly what it says in the menu. Once you have done that you can create a play list and individually add songs to it as above. I did this before the gym yesterday and it worked nicely.Message Edited by bhype23 on 0-9-2005 09:36 PM

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

  • Uploading to Zen Micro with Win Explo

    I'm thinking of getting a Zen Micro, but I want to know if it will be recognized with a dri've letter in My Computer (Win XP). If it is, and I copy music to it using drag and drop, will the Micro be able to play that music? Any other related info would also be appreciated.
    Mike

    It won't at first unless you flash the firmware to the latest 2.x version. But I don't recommend using the 2.x if you don't use an MTP, "playsforsure", or pay for mp3 download services. If you are fine getting the mp3's else where, then stick with the .02.05 firmware. I have no problems with that one.
    So if you are getting your micro fresh out the box, install the drivers and software that's included with the cd before plugging it in. Then go on the creative site and download the updates. It does sound like hassle for the majority of people but who doesn't want updates that might help fix a few bugs?
    I don't think it's a hassle at all, it's just a small thing to deal with.

  • 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 playforsure and removable d

    if u have the playsforsure firmware installed on your zen micro, can you still use the removable disk function on computers without windows xp. also, can you still charge it on computer without windows xp?

    88888888,
    If you have the PlayForSure firmware, yes you can still use the Removable Disk feature of the player and it's also a yes for charging. Just make sure you slide the power switch to Lock position when you're charging.

  • 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.
