Travel Dock Zen Mi

Hello everyone,
For my holiday I want to buy a set of speakers for my Zen Micro 6GB. I looked around a little bit and found a couple of speakersets. One of them is the Zen Micro traveldock. It looks great and its very clever made with all its features. But now I have some questions about this:
. Can I charge my Zen Micro with the Travel Dock without the USB-connection, so only the DC-connector ? Because in the description at the Dutch Creatice site it`s not very clear, there they wrote down that you can charge the Zen when you connect the travel dock to a USB-device, so i`m not sure you can do it with the DC only ?
2. Is the soundquality good ? Well, everybody has something different to say about it, but in general you can say something about it. Is it bad, normal or good ? And is the volume power a little bit good ?

For the first question, I think it charges on the DC-Connector, I have read the explanation and no usb is mentioned (at least I didn't see one).
And for the 2nd question, I think that some people say the volume is not so good. They say that it would be good for small rooms and such not big places. They also mentioned that if you put the volume really high, then it could damage the speakers.
Hope that helped a little. Make a wise decision! :P

Travel Dock Zen Micro IS Availa

While wondering about Best Buy today, I discovered the Travel Dock Zen Micro in stock. Just 30 days ago Creative told me they didn't know when this product would be available in the US. One reason for the delay may have been the MicroPhoto because the box shows both Micro and MicroPhoto being used in the device. Best Buy's price is $29 US.
An earlier discussion in another thread claimed the Travel Dock lid (which doubles as the desktop stand) could not be closed with the Micro in place. The box clearly shows that it can, so I will be checking it out later today. The box also lists an accessory for the unit I hadn't heard of before, a matching powered subwoofer.

My Micro is playing in the TravelDock as I write this. And I can confirm that the lid does close with the Micro in place. The unit has a good sound. I've got it full volume right now. There is no deep bass, but again, these are .5 inch speakers. I will try a powered subwoofer I have with the unit later. There is enough power to fill an average size room or to enjoy the music outside. There is a switch that alters the sound field from narrow to wide. The effect is noticeable if you are listening for it. The connection between the TravelDock and the Micro is easy to make and the Micro sits very securely in the dock. The lid works as desktop stand as well and is held in place by two rubber grippers that are rather stiff and needed some coaxing to work. I will expect these will loosen with use. The documentation on Creative's website says the TravelDock doesn't include batteries, but mine did have 4 Eveready alkalines in the box.
Not too many people have seen the MicroPhoto yet, but apparently it is not exactly the same size as the Micro. There is a small rubber self adhesi've spacer included with the TravelDock. The manual says this small spacer needs to be inserted into the dock if you plug in a MicroPhoto, So, I'm guessing the MicroPhoto is a few millimeters thinner than the Micro. Is that right?

This thread may help. Specifically how he solved the problem.

Travel Dock Zen Micro volumn issue

I just got the Travel Dock and I put my Zen Micro in but it isn't very loud.
I have the volumn on the docking station all the way up and the volumn on the Micro all the way up, but it isn't very loud. Any suggestions?

I also have the same issue. I can hear the background music and backup vocals, but the main vocals are really, really quiet - like the singer has locked themselves in the bathroom and the rest of the band are in the room with me!? Plus, the volume will not go up very high. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Travel Dock Zen Micro

Just wondering if the was available in Australia? Would luv to get my hands on one and if not from Australia, where and how can I get one? Do any of the other speaker systems have similar features as the , such as 2-in- docking and charging station, battery and/or mains power source and IR remote control. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers Willo

Creative Zen Travel Dock problems

I only got my travel dock at Christmas and have used it a massive 3 times. It's broken already. It plays the bass no problem but all the "front" music and vocals are tinny and very quiet. It hasn't been dropped, mishandled or anything like that and has always been connected in accordance with the instructions. When turning it on, it just charges the zen micro player and the only way I can get it to play music is by connecting the player when it is on and playing which is what you're not supposed to do.

Nuevarine,
Is the connection pushed all the way in? Have you tried a different set of earphones or headphones yet?

Zen micro can not be operate if it is connected to Travel Dock for Zen

I just bought Travel Dock for Zen Micro. I have 2 problems. Any body can help me please? 1. When I connect the Zen Micro to Travel dock. The Zen micro can not be operate both manual or using remote. But the charge sign in the Zen micro is appeared. So I am sure that the connection between Zen Micro and the travel dock is OK. No sound is produced. Any clue for it. 2. The I tried to connect the zen using line in cable. There is sound, but the sound is too weak, even if I set the maximum volume. Any clue for it? Any one has the same problem? How to overcome it? Thanks before for your helping and information

What travel dock/speaker system for the Zen Vision 60gb?

Hi all, forgive me if this has been asked before, but I have just bought the Zen vision 60gb, and I would like a compatible travel dock; does anybody know which Creative dock the Zen 60gb will fit's I am not sure myself as the ones I have been looking at refer only to the Zen vision 30gb,
I intend to use it for holidays, camping etc.
Failing that, can anybody recommend a good portable speaker set up for the Zen vision 60gb?
thanks for your time guys!
cheers Dave

Any set of computer speakrs can be connected to any MP3 player. They would be far more versatile than a docking station, as the docking station becomes almost useless after the player breaks. Alternati'vely, if your husband's office computer has speakers, he could just plug the Touch into the computer (may require a software installation) and just play the music through the computer (no cash outlay at all ?.)
If you decide to go with speakers, $50 should be able to buy you a pretty decent set of amplified speakers; there is no need to go beyond a 2 speaker (stereo) system since MP3s only output in 2 channels.

Docking Zen Micro in a

I recently bought a zm and already have it hooked up to my car through the rca jacks of my cd player. The music plays great, but constantly having to reach for my zm to change songs is getting tiresome. What docks or holdsters fit it and would let me stick it on my dash or console? Thanks.

There could be cup holders that work uni'versally. It's like a cellphone holder in a car, you can pull that clip far enough to fit the Micro. The only problem is that I don't know any docks out there.
Or you can probably just get the remote.

Zen micro travel d

does anybody own the travel dock for the zen micro or zen micro photo
do you like it i am thinking about getting one but have heard somethings
about how they don't sound very good.
Please reply if you have one i want to know what you think

The 20gb is slightly bigger so I doubt it will fit, unless the Micro's dock is made slightly bigger but fits both in.

Star ratings for MP3's on ZEN:Visio

I've been giving my favourite tracks a rating of 5 stars as and when they play on my ZEN. Is it possible to view the rating for the songs so I can create a playlist?
Any advice is highly appreciated.

I did a format on 4-25-08 and was able to move some songs over, so I went to Creative Sync Manager to let it reload the 8,626 mp's I had backed up into a folder on my PC. After 0 hrs., it was 52% complete, so I went to bed and sometime during the night the player froze up. I had to reset it to get it to do anything, and it began rebuilding the library and while traveling with it in my car, it ran the battery down. I couldn't revi've it with the USB cable, so I put it in my travel dock and it started charging. I did a reboot and it rebuilt the library again and is now doing fine (knock on wood). I'm not sure why the battery ran down so quickly, but I normally listen to it in my travel dock, which keeps it charged, so I don't know if my battery is getting ready to quit. The player is not quite a year old, so I would think it should last longer than that. I also am curious what corrupted the hard dri've. Thanks KokChoy-CL for your assistance and if you or anyone else have any other pointers, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Zen micro 're-building library' er

I was listening to my zen micro one day in the travel dock, I went to skip a song, and it froze. Then re-building library popped up and hasn't stopped since! I've taken the battery out, and have tried hooking it up to the computer, and nothing has worked. Has this happened to anyone? If so, how do you fix it's

Same thing here....
I'll include some details in case anyone in Creative is interested:
Bought a TravelDock about 5 months ago. Since then used it at the office with my Zen Micro in it. At the end of the day I would turn off the whole thing, unplug it from the wall and leave it (with Zen Micro still in) put away until the next day. Whenever I travelled I would take the Zen out of the TravelDock and bring it with me to use with earphones.
After about 3 months my Zen Micro would not power off when I pressed and held the TravelDock's remote as instructed in the manual. The message "Shutting down..." would appear but the display never turned off. I had to take the battery out and replace it for the unit to turn off and rebuild the library. After that it would work fine...but when it came time to turn the TravelDock off I would get the "Shutting down..." deal most of the time. So I've been having to pull the battery out and back in again on most days after using my Zen Micro in the TravelDock.
One day (3 days ago) I brought the Zen+TravelDock home with me to sync some songs I had on my home PC so I could take them with me cause I was going to travel the next day. Synced fine. Unplugged it from the PC and put my headphones in to listen to some music while I was preparing for my trip. When I slid the power I just got "HARDWARE PROBLEM" and haven't been able to access any functions on my Zen since...
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Regards,
Pavel G.

Broke docking station; Windows won't recognize Shuffle

Okay, so the connector in the docking station became loose today. I put my shuffle on it and tried to connect to the computer -- nothing. So I went and bought a "USB Travel dock" which is specifically for 2nd generation shuffles. When I connect my Ipod, an orange light blinks twice and then nothing. Windows says it's an unknown device. I've tried the reset utility and it doesn't recognize the shuffle either. I've tried resetting to no avail.
The Ipod, itself, works fine, as I was using it earlier, but now the battery needs to be charged and it's looking impossible to connect or charge it. I'm thinking I may have damaged the part where you plug it into the dock, but my headphones work fine when I plug them in the same hole. =/ I have no idea.

was having this problem among others. Found that I could see it in windows explorer but only as an additional disk but nothing in itunes. reformatted in windows, used updater then ejected from explorer. when fires up itunes and then reconnected ipod - it found it.
