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.

The Micro can support pretty much any type of encoding and bit rate used in an MP3 file. However using a non-standard format (standard ones would be: 28, 60, 92, 320, etc...), may result in it not having the ability to transfer. VBR or CBR encoding techniques are supported using whatever encoder you like such as LAME.
If the file was not tagged properly then that could be a reason why WMP is refusing to transfer it, because if it was transfered then there is a risk that the player will have a hard time reading it and therefore freeze. Its just a precaution WMP might take, although I'm not certian on this eventhough it does seem logical that WMP is programmed to do this.
If its a WMA file then thats different, as the Micro does not support the Lossless encoding. And if you dont have the PFS firmware, you do but just mentioning, then it will also not support subscription songs.
Perhaps WMP itself isn't working correctly and needs an update? Check to see if any updates are available via the player itself and Windows Update.
If you can provide the techincal details of the songs that would be nice
Thanks DM for the answer, but as I wrote. There was a problem with my playlists, nothing to do with the player.
Cheers,
Jorge.

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.

Zen Micro with iTu

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.
tia

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.

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.....

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

Zen Micro with Napster Is

I have two Creative Zen Micro 6GB players using Napster to Go. One player (my wife's) works flawlessly with the Napster To Go feature. Everything downloads smoothly and directly. With the other player, nothing goes directly from Napster to the player. I must first download it to my harddri've and then use one of the different software options to get it into the player. This is not a terrible hardship as everything works eventually, but it would be nice if I could skip that one extra step.
It seems like the player is freezing when connected to Napster. The little curved arrows which flash on and off on the player stay "on" all the time after connecting to Napster and doing the little info exchange.
?All the latest firmware is loaded on both players and on the computer. Anybody have any thoughts on why this might be occurring?

Hi,
Napster to go is a fantastic service, very easy to use so long as you're only using the one machine. I used N2G a few months ago (have since stopped as I'm a poor student hehe).
Basic run down -
Firmware IS a bit "iffy" just make sure you have the "Play for sure" firmware on the zen micro. If i remember correctly Napster actually checks your mp3 player when you plug it in.
The napster software itself does require patience, I noticed when copying tracks it didn't display track by track completion but rather every 0 tracks update the list. depending on the size of your collection obviously depends on how long it'll take to send the music to your player.
If you're using Napster on more than one machine (you are allowed to use it on three per household) make sure you get the restore feature right first time, I constantly had to call tech support to get extra download credits added on to my account (free of charge) to redownload my collection after reformats etc.
Sometimes the DRM can get a bit screwy aswell, but it was very rare and tech support were very prompt in sorting out the problems.
In all I would highly recommend Napster to go with the zen micro, nice sleek player with a good service with a HUGE database of songs, it blows away anything else available at the minute *cough* apple *cough* . Please bear in mind that the problems listed above were issues I encountered whilst using the N2G service, however it should be noted I do tinker a LOT with things. Provided you leave things alone and don't try and "explore" you shouldn't run into half as many problems as I did.
Best Regards

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 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 Create folder hierarchy on device
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.

Zen micro with playstatio

i'd like to know if i install the PlaysForSure firmware (it's compatible with european/italian unit's)i can access to zen micro to load mp3 using some software for ps2 (that can access usb devices to read / write files of any typein fat/fat6/fat32) thanks in advance.Message Edited by weltall on 06-24-2005 0:29 AM

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.

Zen Micro with "firmware error". Seeking resuscitation advi

I've posted in several threads as my Zen Micro's health deteriorated and got no advice yet. Hope this time someone figures out what can I do.
I've got a Zen Micro, using it with Windows XP SP2 with WMP 0.
Firmware on player was 2..02 . I started having issues when syncing, it would hang and not finish the session, with the device screen on the "do not disconnect" signal. Read the forum and followed an advice to "upgrade" firmware.
Tried to reload firmware, but the process hanged at the "erasing firmware" screen for a long long time. I disconnected the player. After that, the device won't boot. It goes to the recovery screen after a "firmware error" sign.
If I try to re-upgrade with 2..02 firmware using the PC, the progress advances but at some point it says "firmware upgrade failed".
Tried to roll-back to . firmware. It goes through. It says (showing 2 blue squares of progress) "format completed successfully" then the progress stops and the player remain with the "do not disconnect" signal for a long long time (30 minutes, hour, forever?).
I tried to roll-back to .0 firmware. Message says "please install latest jukebox driver that support your player". I did, but the message stays.
Anyone knows what can I do to load a firmware succesfully?Message Edited by raft on -7-20062:56 PM

Dear Creative!
You screwed the upgrade program a bit, because it is works ONLY IN ENGLISH version on Windows XP. Shame! You are pushing me into the sea of warez...
