Speakers for a micro photo?

I've got the Travel Dock speakers to use with my Zen Micro Photo but I want to add a speaker to give it some extra oomph! Don't really want anything that's too bulky. Any suggestions and recommendations would be much appreciated
Thanks!

jad5,
You can use Creative portable speaker like the TravelSound 400, TravelSound 250, TravelSound 200(more information at the speaker product page.) with the player you have.

Fix for Zen micro photo freezing at start

This is to confirm what I read on a previous post. My micro photo had frozen at the start up, no keys worked and I had to take the battery out to turn off. I was waiting for an RMA and read on a post that the problem could be solved by lightly striking the unit on hard surface while in the on position, let me say, "THIS DOES WORK AND NO LOSS OF CONTENT!". The hard dri've unit seems to get stuck for different reasons, this can be confirmed by a soft clicking or buzzing coming from the unit while in the stuck position. The striking of the unit must jar the hard dri've back into position with no apparent loss of content. So before you re-format, re-install firmware or send the unit in for repair, try this, it worked for me.

THIS DOES WORK. when i first purchased my zen micro
i had dropped it and when i took out the battery
and put it back in, it froze at the creative screen
after paying fees and getting it fixed, there was
no problems for about a year. today it froze out
of nowhere during a song and once again
had frozen on the creative screen. after reading
this post (and also reading why NOT to do it) i decided
to just try it because i would have to replace it anyway.
so i turn the mp3 on, and lightly banged it on my desk
to my surprise it lit up and the screen said "rebuilding library"
and started playing. SO IT DOES WORK!

Zen Micro Photo Sighting in U

Greetings:
Just saw an article on DAP Review (http://www.dapreview.net/news.php) supposedly showing pictures of a Zen Micro Photo taken at a BestBuy in Florida. The article also reported order listings for the Micro Photo on several U.S. based web sites.
I did a quick "Froogle" on Google (couldn't resist...GRIN) and lo and behold there were 4 pages of listings for the Zen Micro Photo. None of the sites claimed to be shipping the Micro Photo and prices ranged from $249 - 268 U.S. A few of the sites included:
Buy.com</LI>
J and R Music, and</LI>
Crutchfield</LI>
The Crutchfield site listed an estimated arrival date of November 7.
Any official response from Creative? Has anybody in the U.S. acquired a Micro Photo from a U.S. supplier?
If there are people in the U.S. who have a Micro Photo, how about posting a couple of "real world" photos. And, as a sidebar, a couple of questions:
I've seen some comments on the screen being dim (or not as bright as expected). Can anybody confirm or debunk?</LI>
I've read reports about no music while viewing pictures. True or False?</LI>
Anybody using SUBSCRIPTION music on their Micro Photo If you are, can you see album art while a track is playing (like the Apple nano)?</LI>
Any information, feedback, etc. will be appreciated!

* I've seen some comments on the screen being dim (or not as bright as expected). Can anybody confirm or debunk?
I set the screen contrast to 80 percent. In normal office lighting, pictures appear crisp and bright enough. In total darkness, looking at the screen won't hurt my eyes either. OLED rocks!
* I've read reports about no music while viewing pictures. True or False?
Unfortunately this is true.
* Anybody using SUBSCRIPTION music on their Micro Photo If you are, can you see album art while a track is playing (like the Apple nano)?
Unfortunately again, album art is not displayed.
Overall I'm very happy with Zen Micro Photo. The only complain is that the radio is mediocre at best.

6GB Zen Micro Photo same price as 30GB iPod pho

I do like Creative, but I do not understand why Creative has been suggesting that their new Zen Micro Photo will be priced at US$350. That is a full hundred dollars more than the current 6GB Player, and the same price as the iPod Photo with more than 3x the storage and a larger screen. Also, a color screen Dell MP3 is available for $200.
Maybe Creative is planing another price mark-down: lowing the price of the current micros into the $50 range and putting the Zen Micro Photo in the $250 range.
Anyway, I was just curious on what your opinion was. Would you buy the ZM Photo 6GB for $350 or for the same price, the 30GB iPod Photo Why do you think the ZM Photo is priced so high?

Well I'm only guessing, but I think we'll see a price drop in line with the other Micro price dro
ps.
Creative so far have been pretty quick to get their prices in line with Apple etc. I can't see things changing. I think the initial pricing for the Micro Photo was before the recent price dro

Micro Photo Question... power adapt

I was looking at the package contents or whatever for the micro photo and I noticed that a power adapter or ac adapter is not included... so does that mean I need to pay extra to get one? Thats a little ridiculous.

You can charge it on your computer with the USB cable that comes with it or you can buy an AC adaptor. One thing with the adaptor is that it charges a little faster.

Zen micro photo, Austra

hey, this is more directed to to the creative people but maybe someone else knows. Currently in australia we have pre oreders for zen micro photos, though only in selected colours, i looked at the australian creative website and they only have 6 of the colours listed on the zen micro photo page. Does that mean only those 6 colours are going to be released here? Because i want the orange one and they hav'nt got that listed, anyone know anything?
All other country wesites have all colours listed, america, Asia and such
Thanks

Information on LiON battery lifespans.
A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.
Although lithium-ion is memory-free in terms of performance deterioration, batteries with fuel gauges exhibit what engineers refer to as "digital memory". Here is the reason: Short discharges with subsequent recharges do not provide the periodic calibration needed to synchronize the fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. A deliberate full discharge and recharge every 30 charges corrects this problem. Letting the battery run down to the cut-off point in the equipment will do this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate. (Read more in 'Choosing the right battery for portable computing', Part Two.)
Aging of lithium-ion is an issue that is often ignored. A lithium-ion battery in use typically lasts between 2-3 years. The capacity loss manifests itself in increased internal resistance caused by oxidation. Eventually, the cell resistance reaches a point where the pack can no longer deli'ver the stored energy although the battery may still have ample charge

Creative Micro Photo / Gif

Does anyone think Creative will release a new driver supporting Gifs images ?
Im pretty sure it could handle it plus it would be sweet
For the Micro Photo 8gb...
Also I would pay for the driver to make them even more
interested in making it.Message Edited by Moi on 05-5-2006 0:55 AM

Hi,
No that should not be the case. Now thats not to say some manufacturers don't 'throttle' power usage when your laptop is not docked or mains powered to prolong battery life. But from a point of view of charging it shouldn't be an issue. As it takes approx 4 hours to charge a MPhoto chances are your laptops battery will not last through the full re-charge cycle anyway.
If you are looking at prolonged periods with out access to mains you'll probably find availing of the replacable battery facility and aspare battery or two fully charged before departure will be a much better option.
Hope this hel
ps.

Battery chargers for Micro Photo? Charging for the first ti

Hello all--
Purchased a Micro Photo for Sister who is taking it to Baja - So no computer for charging.
Would like your imput on Aftermarket chargers, wall plug, car lighter and really about the battery packs that use 4 AA's for charging. Also any hints on charging for the first time, and using the lock button for better charging?
TIA

Link: http://us.creative.com/products/cate...subcategory=57? and here: http://stores.ebay.com/Creative-Labs-Factory-Store?. When charging battery for the first time,I ordered a "Zen Micro Power Adapter" with the intention to use it for the fist time charging(of battery) to make sure it charged complety... But I didnt wait and went ahead and charged the MPhoto via usb/pc. I put it at 4.00pm went out to the mall with the intention to come back at 9.00pm but I came later than that(0.00) and the MP was fully charged(I beli've) it was like in a "stand by mode" with the screen blank.

Speakers for Ipod photo 60gb

Hi
Does anyone know of good speakers that are compatable with the 60GB photo ipod. I was looking into the Altec lansing iM3 but they appear not to be compatible.
Would really appreciate some advice as want to take my ipod away and have portable speakers for it.
Thanx

Hello,
I totally agree with Chris's suggestion, I do have Bose Soundock, JBL soundstage and iPod HiFi, with no doubt, iPod HiFi is my one of my best investment.

Creative Zen Micro Photo with Windows 2000 Professio

Well, I purchased a micro photo about 5 days ago and am thrilled with the quality so far but i have old software on my computer due to its age and was wondering what software i need to run in order to transfer songs to my zen. I read the post above with all the drivers and it was just jibberish to me. I have wmp9 and would like to run it through that but my device isnt recognized. What download do i need to have in order for it to recognize my mp3 player?
Thanks,
ZachMessage Edited by yamaha4 on 0-0-2006 0:6 PM

Zach,
Have you try the legacy driver in this post before with WMP9? Although the Micro Photo player isn't listed in the list, other forum member has posted success with the driver so if you haven't try it yet might as well give it a try.

Help with my Bran-New Creative Zen Micro Photo. [Questi

If you don't want to see the backing of my whole story skip to the bold print at the bottom!I also want you to know I read the FAQs and searched through some topics like this, but haven't found any asking my question.First of all, I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching Creative's Zen for a long time now. I kept observing each one closely before I purchased a product. I then saw the Zen Micro Photo come out. This one won my attention. I loved this, I quickly searched for reviews and went for the buy for Christmas. I told my dad about it and he was "iffy" on the price, but it was better then the iPod in my opinion.Christmas day came and I opened it. Right away I checked everything out I knew a lot about the menu already and all, but not really how to control it. I checked to make sure everything worked. All systems were go. After listening to the defaults (which I loved) I went to go install the software. I already had Media Player 0 and Adobe, oh and I didn't want the freakin AOL toolbar! Lol, so I installed everything else. It took forever, but I hooked it up and I installed the drivers, but as soon as I plug in the USB connector I see: "A HIGH-SPEED USB device has been plugged into a LOW SPEED USB port.After that, I switched USB ports, btu I got same message. I hit the X and then tried to charge. I got the Lightening Bolt, but no dimming of lights. I found out that this computer is not letting me install any service packs, I'm confused about that.My question:Is there anyway I can charge this mp3 player and download music onto my Zen Micro Photo without Service Pack ? Or did I just pay $250 for a really cool glowing mp3 player to be used as a paperweight? (I love this Zen and I ran the battery dead hoping that would make the charging easier).Help?
My Specifications:
My Mp3 Player: Zen Micro Photo (Black)What I tried: Switching USB ports and re-installing Service Pack Software: Not sure how to determine firmware without installing something. I'm on a XP Professional and I'm using the Creative Media Source and Creative Media Toolbox

Thank you DM for responding. I am expecting problems, but it still won't allow me to charge the Zen Micro Photo or even use the Creative Media Source. I can't upload any songs or any contacts on it. I haven't uploaded anything yet, but it's not reading the USB device. When I run Creative Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer I get this message at the top of the screen: "The device is not connected. Please connect your Zen MicroPhoto to the computer. I can't organize anything or add songs... so it just makes all the programs I downloaded useless and my Creative product unusuable.ONe thing it does do though... whenever I plug in my Zen MIcroPhoto to the USB it turns it on and glows, but only shows my battery at the top with one red line and the green lightening bolt filling the battery up.After leaving it like this for two hours the green moves, but the red bar stays the same size.

SOLUTION - Zen Micro Photo Stuck in Recovery M

My Zen Micro Photo got stuck in recovery mode after I followed Creative Labs Technical Support suggestions. They had me do a Clean Up, a Format All a Reload Firmware and a Reboot. After doing this my unit was stuck in Recovery Mode. They then had me load the latest firmware. v .3.0, from a PC connection and I found that it worked fine, but doing the above steps put me back into Recovery Mode hell. So I did some testing.
I loaded firmware version .20.0 from my PC thinking the problem might be in the firmware version. Doing the steps they had asked me to do caused me to be in Recovery Mode Hell, so again I loaded firmware from my PC.
This time I went through each item one at a time and rebooted after each. Clean Up/Reboot, Format ALL/Reboot and Reload Firmware/Reboot. They all booted normally except when I did a Reload Firmware.
Next I loaded firmware v .3.0 to my unit again and did the same test. Again it put me in Recovery Mode Hell after I selected Reload Firmware from the Recovery Mode screen.
Conclusion DO NOT LOAD FIRMWARE FROM RECOVERY MODE. If you have to load firmware at all, do it from your PC connection. I'm going to copy this into the VERY LONG message I have had with Creative Labs Technical Support over the past 5 days and let them know what I have found. I hope this helps others to fix their Micro Photo.

I am having a similar problem. I am stuck in recovery mode and my PC won't recognize the MP3 player at all? I have rebooted, cleaned up, formatted, pulled the batt, etc. Finally I pulled the battery for longer than 30 seconds and that seemed to fix the problem. We will see.

You don't need USB2.0 but you will need to have at least Service Pack for your Windows XP and Windows Media Player 0 installed.
