This is a two part question about the creative 16gb Zen?

8This is a two part question about the creative 6gb Zen? First of all, my battery life dropped very suddenly. One charge I was getting the full 30 hour battery life and the next it dropped to under ten. I tried using their tips on how to extend the battery life and I am still getting less than 0 hours of battery life. Why would it dropped more than half the amount between charges? I tried recharging it after it ran out and still the same thing. Any help?
Second, (I am adding this question because it might relate to the first in some way) my mp3 player has been behaving strangely lately. For example, some artists sometimes have letters removed or all but the first end up being removed. But, if you reset the player, the artists go back to the full name. Also, my player has been taking a little longer than usual to turn on. It takes about 30 seconds to turn on instead of the 5-0 that I'm used to. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
My Zen is only 4 months old, and I would be very upset it it's breaking already. Please, if you have any suggestions on how I can fix what's happening, post them. (Even if they?probably won't work, they're worth a try.)

< This is an unusual one; never heard of it before. All I can suggest is cleaning up and perhaps reflashing the firmware. If it still is doing this, then get the thing exchanged pronto.
My guess is that the problems are indeed closely related.

Hey Ya'll (AN INQUIRY ABOUT the Creative Zen Micr

Hi there Creative Users and Community! I am thinking of purchasing a zen micro, and have done my research, I however am purchasing my zen micro from a store in Dubai (The middle east) I am aware of the defected micros (with the head jack problems) that had to be sent in for repair, i am aware that creative fixed that problem and all but i am "afraid" that maybe out of the blue, the zen i purchase might be of the earlier breed. I think , and mind you i don't do that too often that maybe i can find out by the serial product number? If someone could help me out with that you'd be doin me a big favor,
Thank ya'll so much,
Qahlid

SSR, if you read this, do you remember in what topic did someone list the exact differences between the firmware number of the old batch and the new one?
I distinctly remember seeing something like this:
old serials ....
new serials differ in respect to ...
but can't find the topic in question. It'd be ab interesting bit of info anyway, since I'm beginning to put together an article about the headphone socket problems.

Questions about the Jukebox Zen X

What is the difference between the Jukebox Zen Xtra and the Apple iPod? I'm just doing some research to find out which is better adn what the differences are. Also, can you transfer music straight from a CD player to the Jukebox Zen Xtra, or do you have to download the music to your computer first? If anyone has any information on this, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks and God bless.
Sincerely,
Mariah

I have tried the iPod and i currently own a Zen.
One major setback so far i have found witht he Zen is that it's not very shock resistant and unlike the iPod, it does not have a lot of anti-skip time.
One big difference for me is the scroll button on the Zen. When i tried the iPod, i really liked the wheel scroll thingy on the fron of the player. Its simple, fast and painless.
The Zen has a scroll thingy on the side. Its smaller than a finger tip and it's not so very easy to use. Also it digs into the skin and it hurts after continous use. It also doesn't feel very durable...but only time will tell.
The Zen can(unlike the iPod) play WMA WMV files. Much better sound quality, although a little bigger than mp3s.
Big plus for the Zen is the removable battery. A non-existant feature of the iPod.
The Zen does not come with a docking station, which the iPod does.
Another difference is the price. Sort of obvious there, but considerable.
I dunno...so far i have a few problems with my Zen, but i think that's specific to mine alone. If i was you...i would save a hundred bucks and get the Zen...but make sure u keep that store receipt...just in case.
Also, about your transfering music question, I am currently(as i type this) transfering from a CD straight to the player. It rips the CD first and then it sends it to the unit.
Depending on computer speed and whether you have USB 2 or not, it can take less than 5 minutes for 5 tracks.

Question about the new Zen (4

Hi I am looking for a MP3 player that has FM radio recording function. My friend has Vision M and it records FM radio. I was looking at the new Zen (the 4GB one)http://us.creative.com/products/prod...4&product=6999and I think I really like how sleek it looks it's thinner than vision M but yet same screen size. I was wondering if anyone knows if this particular player has FM radio recording function. Your help is greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Nope no FM recording function.

Lots of Questions about the Creative MuVo Slim 256MB MP3 Pla

Hello, I'm thinking of buying it...but I got lots of questions that i want it answered first before I buy it.

. How long does the battery last? Like would I even need to replace the rechargeable li-ion battery every year? month? never?
2. I know I can only charge the battery via USB cable, so approximately how long is the wait time until it has fully recharged?
3. Is it possible to recharge using an adapter instead of the USB? Because I found it easily.
4. Do you think this is worth buying? Or should I wait on a future release? 
5. Is the voice recording clear? And can you record 5-0 feet away?

Thank you very much for your time in answering my questions.

. Lithium Ion batteries last at peak performance for about 3 years, or 300-500 charges, whatever comes first. They will still work after this for several years, but at reducing performance.
2. Sorry, not sure...
3. Again, not sure. You're taking a risk that the adapter is compatible.
4. Only you can make that decision. Just look at this and the other players and compare the features and price.
5. The in-built microphones are not great quality, and really only good for recording interviews and meetings, that type of thing.

Can the Zen Micro Photo only do one thing at a time? Like you can't have pics and music at the same time? "The 5GB version will hold 6000 photos or 2500 songs*. " thats what the website says...im confused please help!
That is referring to the maximum capacity if you were to only use it to play MP3's or only to use it for photo viewing.
So yes, you can carry both MP3 (and other music formats for that matter) as well as pictures at the same time. One can even assume you'll be able to view photos while listening to music.

4 questions about the Creative Suite Design Standard Student and Teacher Edition

1) Can I also buy the 5.5 version from adobe or is only the 6 version available? Because online I could not get the former version into the shopping basket.
2) If I buy the version 6, i can only download the suite and get no CDs. What will happen, if my computer will be broken - can I install the suite again at another pc?
3) Can I use the student version also in a commercial way - so that the products, I create with it, can use commercial?
4) Can I use that also if I am not a student in several months?
Thanks for answers.

1) Can I also buy the 5.5 version from adobe or is only the 6 version available? Because online I could not get the former version into the shopping basket.
only cs6, cc and cc 2014 are available via adobe.
2) If I buy the version 6, i can only download the suite and get no CDs. What will happen, if my computer will be broken - can I install the suite again at another pc?
you can download and save the installation files (and your serial number) so you can reinstall. (though adobe currently allows even users of very old software to continue to download installation files.)
3) Can I use the student version also in a commercial way - so that the products, I create with it, can use commercial?
yes
4) Can I use that also if I am not a student in several months?
yes

Question about the new Zen Mi

I was planning to buy a micro but then I saw the new ones and I was wondering if there was any difference between the new two and the old one? apart from the capacities.

Nobody has actually tried one, but I doubt there will be any difference. I'm not sure why a 4Gb is being released, but the reasons for the Gb flash and the 6Gb are pretty obvious (the 6Gb replacing the 5Gb).

[Zen Micro]Questions about the Firmw

Hello,
I have some questions about the firmware of the Zen Micro
. Can I use the Zen Micro without any Software (MediaSource?) on my PC (winXP) when im using the Firmware Creative Zen Micro *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware 2.00.2 ? This means that i copy my Music only by drag&drop from the Explorer after my Computer has detected the Zen Micro as a Removable Disk!
2. I know that the Zen Micro has two parts with the Normal Firmware. The "Removable Disk" Part and the "Playable" Part which can only used by the Software! But what happens if my . question is right. How can i seperate this two parts?
Thanks for answers

I don't have the 2.x firmware, but I think I'm correct in saying this :
with the 2.x firmware, your Micro becomes an MTP compatible device, which can be recognized on PCs having an MTP compatible OS (operating system). For the moment, the only OS that fits the bill to my knowledge, is Win XP with Windows Media Player 0. In this combination of MTP device + MTP OS, you don't need to install other drivers, and you can do drag and drop
BUT ! The 2.x firmware doesn't make your device a "removable disc" in the traditional sense of the word. It doesn't become a file system, like a USB memory stick.
I hope I was clear enough to see the difference :-)Message Edited by fred_be9300 on 04-03-2005 02:52 AM

Another question about the Zen Micro Firmware Upgr

Hi there,
I have just successfully installed the Creative Zen Micro Firmware .02.05 on my 5GB Zen Micro but I have a question regarding Windows Media Player. The Set up Sync button and some of the properties still appeared greyed out. I thought the upgrade would solve that problem.
Any thoughts?

I have some questions about the Zen Mic

I was wondering if the Creative Zen Micro has some of the same capabilities of the Apple Ipod. A lot of my friends have Ipods' and I know from them that you can actually plug the Ipod into a stereo and it will play songs. Can the Zen Micro do that? do you know of any connections needed? Also, i know the Ipod can get a connection which allows it to tune into blank radio stations. With this a person can get onto the same radio station through the Mp3 player and play their music, which allows them to play their Mp3 player in their cars or again on a stereo. Is there any way I can play my Zen Micro in my car without getting sperate speakers? Please help!
Thank you

You can connect to a home stereo using a stereo miniplug (your headphone connector) to RCA adapter. these are available at any electronics store. you plug the 2 rca plugs into an auxiliary input on your receicver. to play in your car, you can use an fm transmitter. check out my post on accessories, it talks about one i didnt like and the one i replaced it with...
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=2079
there is nothing special about ipods, they cant do anything that a creative player cant. in fact, some would argue that creative's do more! but connectivity to any type of stereo system is uni'versal

The Creative Zen Touch Movement: Active Creative Us

Who out there wants a skin for their Creative Zen Touch? Who is tired of the monopoly that Vaja cases has and forces you to buy their horrific case for 70 Big Ones? Who is tired of the Creative Case that is included and is extremely bulky and doesnt even have a screen to see what you are doing? Are you not tired of having to take the Zen Touch of the cases everytime you want to do something? Are you tired of users that have Iri'ver and Apple's Ipod having infinite accessory choices while you are limited to 2 case choices? If your answers to these questions were yes, this is the new movement for you. This movement will bombard companies like Iskin and xSkin with emails asking them to provide a Creative Zen touch alternati've for cases that are protecti've, photogenic, and sleek. This method works because Iskin and xskin want to make $$$ and with more emails they know they will make more money. My Ipod counterparts show off their Ipods and protecti've them with the xskin exo3 which is only 0.7mm thick, and cannot defend my creative zen touch because I have a bulky case that makes it 3 times as big. With a skin, my creative will be protected from scratchs, perfect for style points, and i dont have to take it out of a case everytime I want to change anything. This movement worked on the Iri'ver site where they overloaded the system with emails for Iri'ver skin requests, and 3 months later, Iskin rolls out a skin for the Iri'ver. We can do the same. I encourage you to assist me in this movement so we can bring the Creative Zen Touch to the top of all mp3 players trampling the Ipod and Iri'ver alltogether. Now whos with me? Its time for action because we are the Acti've Creative Zen Touch Users

The Creative Zen Touch Skin Movement
This is the Creative Movement brought to you by Creative Zen Touch users. We have had enough with the horrible cases that are offered to us as choices. We are look to towards you for salvation. We kindly ask that you create a skin for the Creative Zen Touch, our forums are overloaded with request. The market for a skin for the Zen Touch has great potential to grow and we offer you as our first choice to do so. We are tired of the Ipod and Iri'ver users who can show off their sleek mp3 player complimented by a sleek skin and a screen protector. We wish we can do the same. We want to level the playing field for all mp3 players and we are asking you to do so. I have talked to over 80,000 creative zen touch users via the Creative Forum and they are all urging for a skin and are willing to buy it. That is a great potential market you have in front of you. Thank you for your deep consideration. This movement is lead by Creative user dmai7.
- Your Concerned and Ambitious Customer

actually about the skin thing
if u wanna change the skin of your touch you ll have to brake the warranty patch that is over a screw and with it end your warranty time.
for stuff that sticks over the case its alright
and yes there should be more accessories to this thing
have fun

Won't reformatting the Creative Zen Micro constantly kill it? Especially with the beta firmwa

I have just been the victim of "sudden audio player death syndrome" my iri'ver h0 bit the dust two weeks after I bought it... I have the same fears about my creative zen micro, as I fear that these micro dri'ves are less durable than full size hard disks and more succeptible to failure. I really was scared to format it once. And I asked the question earlier... but I would like some more replies, do you have to reformat the dri've every month to renew subscription tracks on napster to go... does anybody have experience with the service and the player, maybe for a couple of months that could tell me?

I have the Micro as well as the Seagate Pocket Dri've, a standalone version of the S dri've that's in the Micro. I've owned the latter for about fi've months now. Both of them take a fair share of abuse: the Seagate dri've travels in my backpack or pocket every day to and from work. The Micro is strapped on my arm fi've times a week as I do my daily jog. Both have yet to show any signs of damage. I also reformatted my Micro dri've about 0-2 times when I first got it (I had problems that I thought were caused by the firmware but, as it turns out, were caused by my USB card).

What are the defects that occur in the Creative Zen produc

Hi! I am new to all these MP3 players (I am still stuck in the CD player era) but I have been wanting to upgrade to a new, high tech player. After researching for a LONG time (I have considered the Creative Zen micro, Creative Zen Micro photo, Ipod mini, Ipod Nano, 4th gen Ipod, Cowan Iaudio, Olympus M:Robe500i, and Archos Gimini 402) I have concluded with the Creative products, that unlike the Ipods, have more features for the same price or lower. I briefly thought about the IAudio and the Archos since they play movies but decided that they were too expensi've. Plus, it having a removable battery was enticing since do not li've int he United States and I wouldn't have to be sending things in for repair or replacement of battery.
Now, I was very pumped about the Zen Micro but have since learned that there are a few defects.
the Creative Zen micro, from what I gathered, has a problem that the player stops working and only boots up to the Creative logo. I think I understand that this comes from something disconnecting from the HD inside. ANOTHER problem seems to be the earphone jack breaking and being pushed in.
I want to know if this is fixed in any of the versions of the Zen Micros. I think I heard that the 5GB ones are the ones that do this. If anything, i would get the 6 GB version and would like to know if the 6GB Zen Micros do this. It is at Best Buy for $50 plus tax ($60+ total).
I am also considering ordering the Zen Micro Photo (though it costs $40 bucks more just for color) form Best Buy ($202 total). Does the Zen Micro Photo fix the problems of the past players? Does it have any new defects?
Another player I am interested in is the Zen Sleek, which is the same price of the Zen Micro Photo, but has 2 GB more (though I don't really need it). It doesn't have color but whatever. Does this player have any of the previous defects or any defects at all? Can I use it to transfer files, like the the Micros can (I assume the Micro Photo can also) without having to install software on a PC (like the whole partition thing from the Micros). Does it have a removable Battery?
ANY HELP would be appreciated. I am a very cautious buyer and I do not want to hassle with stuff. I li've in the Dominican republic and I do NOT want to go shipping stuff overseas to get it fixed. That is why I am buying a Zen product, since it has removable Batteries and I don't have to send it in to get replaced. I do not want to spend 00 bucks and 3 months of waiting for things.
Also, on any defect, what seems to be the percentage? I know creative has not acknowledged any defects but there obviously are, since things happen to the same product, the same way, the same place.
Thanks for any help, again. Sorry for being so lengthy. I just like to have as much info down. It is that that Best Buy deal is too good.

I wouldn't call this a common problem.

Not sure about being pushed in, but the solder connection on some Micros was too weak and easily broken.
I want to know if this is fixed in any of the versions of the Zen Micros. I think I heard that the 5GB ones are the ones that do this. If anything, i would get the 6 GB version and would like to know if the 6GB Zen Micros do this. It is at Best Buy for $50 plus tax ($60+ total).
No-one knows for sure if it was fixed. Creative Support didn't confirm or deny it had been fixed on the board here. Others have had emails from Creative saying that it has been fixed in newer players.
I am also considering ordering the Zen Micro Photo (though it costs $40 bucks more just for color) form Best Buy ($202 total). Does the Zen Micro Photo fix the problems of the past players? Does it have any new defects?
People say the sound quality isn't as great as past players, and there is some slight noise when the backlight is turned on. Aside from not being able to view photos and listen to music at the same time. Search back for reviews by other folks.
Another player I am interested in is the Zen Sleek, which is the same price of the Zen Micro Photo, but has 2 GB more (though I don't really need it). It doesn't have color but whatever. Does this player have any of the previous defects or any defects at all?
The Sleek seems to be a great player. I don't recall seeing any common issues with it.
Can I use it to transfer files, like the the Micros can (I assume the Micro Photo can also) without having to install software on a PC (like the whole partition thing from the Micros). Does it have a removable Battery?
It doesn't have a removable battery.
It has the MTP/PFS firmware that means you can only use it to copy audio files with Win XP.
It has the USB mass storage function that means you can copy data files to it with Win 98/Me/2000 and XP.
Also, on any defect, what seems to be the percentage? I know creative has not acknowledged any defects but there obviously are, since things happen to the same product, the same way, the same place.
No-one except Creative knows these figures.
