Real Player Zen Micro Transfer Quest

I have some files I purchased a number of years ago via Real Player. They have an .rax extension and when I try and transfer them to the Micro I get an incompatable format message. I was just wondering if anybody knows a way to transfer these files to the Micro. Thanks for any help.

The transfer speeds should be much faster if you use one of the MTP firmwares (2.xx). Also, are you using USB 2.0?

New Zen Micro - Few Questi

I intallled the software and let it charge. Is it done charging when the lights stay off?
How do i turn off the zen micro?
When i transfer songs to it, can i leave the songs in the file folders that organise the songs by album?

you can generally transfer the folder of files, i've never tried dragging the folder its self to the player but it might work.
the player doesnt come up as a dri've letter just a device, but yer.
you can use any software compatable with it, i mainly use real player or zen micro media explorer, or if im already in it winamp (with plug in). use what ever software your most cumfortable with. WMP mand music match also support it.im sure there are lots of things otu there that will.
you can view by album, its not orgaising the music its displaying it in that way, just go to music libary, on the player, then select album.
means its new mine came with .0.03, im not running ..0 and happy with it, V2 is play for sure, so its down through WMP.

Zen Micro - transfer lock ups with latest firmwa

I've been trying to transfer mp3 files to my firmware upgraded Zen Micro and find that the transfer slows down and then locks the player after 30-40 files have successfully copied. This happens with ..0 and 2.2.02 firmwares.
The player will then remain in a 'acti've' docked state (black arrows) until the battery is removed. After this lock up tags on the mp3 files are messed up and display Chinese looking characters in the Details View.
This happens on two different computers with USB2.0, one Intel based and the other AMD.
Two questions - anyone know if this is a known issue being worked on for an imminent firmware update? And secondly - is the problem aggravated (or even created) because I am trying to copy files over from a directory tree (mp3's sorted into artist/album/ folders) rather than one flat folder with all mp3s in it (ie. in one single folder).

I'd try transferring fewer files at a time and see if that works.
You might be on to something with copying from a directory tree too. See if transferring the files in smaller groups from one folder helps out.
You can always organize the artists/albums later in Zen Micro Media Explorer or Creative MediaSource.

Zen Micro EQ questi

My Zen Micro was purchased in Nov 04. I downloaded and installed new firmware in Jan 05. Now I transfer my music directly from my computer's WMP0 files, and use no Creative software. Works fine, I'm very pleased with this wonderful player. I have some questions for SSR or Jeremy, or please direct me elsewhere...
Question #: I'm sometimes able to play songs with "EQ off". Other times I need to use the pre-set EQ settings. The two I most often use are "Classical" and "Vocal". Please, tell me what the 5 EQ setting numbers are for each of these two pre-set choices.
Question #2: The fi've frequency settings in my unit's Custom EQ are 80, 250, k, 4k, and 3k Hertz (Hz). Let's say I want to improve or reduce a sound frequency of 800 Hz... Do I adjust ONLY the 250 Hz setting? Or do I adjust ONLY the k (,000) Hz setting (closest to the frequency I want to change)? Or do I adjust BOTH the 250 and k Hz settings?
Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks, SSR.
As to Question , who would I contact at Creative Labs? My free help days are long gone. Would they consider this "proprietary information"? My WMP0 EQ has 0 frequency settings, twice as many as my Micro. It also has a "Classical" and an "Opera" pre-set, but the settings are spaced differently.
I've "guesstimated" what the Micro settings might be, using the WMP0 settings, and I'm close, but I'm also off a little bit... Hence, Question #2...
God, I hate reinventing the wheel...

Creative zen micro transfer prob

When using Napster to transfer songs to my zen micro mp3 player the following happens.
License storgae is not working.Contact microsoft product support.
When I hit click here for more information nothing happens.
It has worked previously without any problems! Can anybody help??

Here is a list of things to check:
) Confirm you have Windows Media Player 0 installed on your XP SP or later system.
2) Confirm your Zen Micro has the latest 2.x firmware (2..02 Beta or later). The .x firmware does not support N2G. Download the 2..02 Beta firmware from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads
3) Confirm KB8922 "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players" is installed on your XP SP or later system with WMP 0. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;8922 for details.
4) Confirm your Zen Micro's system time is synched to the system time of your computer.
5) Confirm XP and the Napster client recognize your Zen Micro is connected. It should display under the "Portable Device" object in the "Library" window of the Napster client. The Zen Micro Display should read "Docked". See if you can transfer files using WMP 0. Confirm the Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer version .00. ( http://us.creative.com/support/downloads ) can access your Zen Micro. Can it transfer tracks to the device?
6) Confirm your firewall is not interfering with the connection to Napster or to the internet for current date and time. Consider disabling firewall, Antivirus, and Spyware Scanners as a diagnostic step to troubleshoot your transfer issue.
7) Consider reinstalling Windows Media Player 0 and KB8922.
8) Check the USB cable connection. Determine the USB chipset on your system. There are forum threads where users resolved transfer problems by installing a new USB Adapter with a different chipset or determined the problem was the USB cable. You can also troubleshoot by attempting the transfer on another computer (if available).

Zen Micro transfer probl

At first I thought it was Napster, but...
When I try to transfer to my Zen Micro from Napster To Go, I get errors and have to ctrl-alt-del Napster. So I went to Creative MediaSource Organizer and tried to transfer from there... the same thing happens. I get errors and have to ctrl-alt-del. I can transfer the first few songs, but the transfer is VERY slow, and I eventually get the errors again.
I've tried reinstalling *everything*, including formatting my Micro and reinstalling the firmware and drivers. Has anyone had a problem with this? Is there some setting I should change on my computer?
Thanks.Message Edited by JennyZ on 0-5-2005 0:57 PM

JennyZ, have you:
<FONT face=Helv size=2> - Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site.

Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:

Yup.. I've downloaded and re-downloaded just to make sure.

Zen Micro remote quest

I've been looking at players and liked the Micro and Neeon,as it seems the Neeon's been phased out in favour of it the Micro seems the one for me.
My main requirements that most players seem not the feature were a remote so I don't have to keep fishing the thing out and really would have prefered a player with Flac or other lossless support,but I guess mp3 will have to do.
The question I have is regarding the remote,I was happy when I finally discovered it has one as an optional extra and that closed the deal but I have one question.
On the Cnet review for it , http://computershopper.com.com/Creative_Zen_Micro_5GB/4505-6490_7-35927-3.html?tag=nav
they claim
"Everything that comes in the box (plus the optional wired remote) matches."
The picture also shows a much cooler looking remote than the one in the shop,that I take it has the same colour as the player you choose.
Are they not available?

The wired remotes for the Zen Micro are not available in the same full range of colours that the player is, but you can get it in black and white. You didn't mention what region you're in, but here are a few links:
US online store (they have it available in Black/Black, Black/White and White/White)
European online store (available in Black or White)

Zen Micro Transfer Sti

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone help me with a really frustrating problem I am having with transfering from my notebook to my Micro?
I peridoically get a CD that I can partly rip to my Micro then every now and then (usually on exactly the same track) the rip will freeze at xyz% which is really frustrating because I listen to classical music and it often breaks a piece up!
Also, does anyone know how to get MS Media player to recognize my Zen Micros because I prefer Media Player to the zen software (sorry Creative but thats how I feel)

To see what firmware you are running, just select System from the Menu, then choose Information. This will show you your firmware version, how much disk space you have left on the device, etc.

Charging Zen Micro battery quest

Hello all,
I went to charge my Zen Micro 5Gb last night. Plugged the usb end into the Micro and put the plug in the wall socket and the Zen showed it was charging, but I had caught the lead between the li've and neutal pins of the plug, so it wasnt flush in the wall socket.
I unplugged, moved the cable and plugged back in (a matter of no more than 5 -0 seconds) and the Zen did nothing, just a blank screen.
Pulled the plug out again and waiting this time before plugging back in and all went well, 3 hours later all charged.
I assume I spiked the battery? Could I have done any harm to the battery or player?
Any replies would be appreciated.

I guess at worst you might have had an intermittent connection, which in turn might have damaged the player (constant "spiking", as you mentioned).
If the player is fine though it sounds to me like it didn't suffer any damage.

Zen Micro Recorder quest

I used my Micro to record my son's gig (wow...sound was actually pretty good, picked up all the solos even) but I wanted to transfer the files to my pc and they don't show in zen explorer. Explorer shows "tracks" playlists albums artists, but I didn't see recordings anywhere. Ideas?
Also, where is the microphone on this thing? I look at it and don't see one anywhere ;-)

There's no way to connect a microphone to the Micro.
I tried to conect my microphone to the Zen Micro through the headphone jack. It works. To make sure that I was really using the microphone instead of the built-in recorder, I recorded "high-volumes of sounds" (read: Shouting). It did not have the problems normally associated with the recording of loud noises.

Zen Micro Case Quest

Not sure this belongs here...but I have a question about the Creative Zen Micro leather case. You shouldn't get magnets near Mp3 players such as a micro, but the leather case shuts with a magnet. Is this actually safe, or can a keep using mine?

Should be no problem. The magnet is very weak and will not interfere with the player...

Zen Micro Sync quest

Hi there,
I got a Zen Micro today and I'm trying to get round learning how to use it since it differs quite a lot from the Muvo2 I used to have.
Something strange happens when I try to sync the player with Windows Media Player 0. Most of the files get transfered without any problem, but I always get an error message for some of them, telling me that they are corrupted when I know for a fact that they're not.
Has this happened to anybody else? Did you manage to solve the problem? I'd sure appreciate any help I can get.
Hope you all had a good Christmas Day!
Charlie

Oh, thanks for that. I just wanted to use Media Player as much as I could so I wouldn't have to install or use a new piece of software. As for the files, they're all mp3 or wma.

Zen Micro Firmware Questi

Hi!
I bought a Zen Micro a couple of weeks ago and I've allready got about 600 songs on it. At the moment I've got the .02.05 Firmware and I'm considering to upgrade it to the newest. So the my question is: Can the upgrade effect the player in anyway? And I've also heard that songs and other stuff that are in the player might get deleted...is this true? Is it really any reason to uprgrade? Is there alot of important or cool improvments in the newest Firmware?
I really hope someone would answer some of my questions, thanks anyway :smileyvery-happy:

You don't HAVE to upgrade your firmware, but I certainly would recommend it-mainly for the increased battery length you will get from the reduced standby time (further details of the firmware changes are on various threads here)
As long as you are upgrading to version ..0 you will not lose any songs from your player- this will only happen if you go to the playforsure version 2 firmwares.
don't be put off by comments regarding the ..0 firmware- it works well & definitely is good to increase battery time.
