Zen Micro as a portable storage devic

Does anyone know if it is possible to put anything but audio files onto a Creative Zen Micro? and if so could someone tell me/link me to somwhere telling me how?
Things im talking about are, files like word Documents etc... I-pod's are able to hold .txt files and you can view them on the screen, so id rather my i-pod owning friend didnt get one up on me...
Cheers, in advance

You CAN store files one the device, but this is on another part of the harddisk then your music library. You must choose the capacity of this "Removable Disk"-mode when you first use it. It is found in Menu>Extra>Removable Disk. When you select this, music stops playing and you can only use this function unless you press the back button. If you use Removable disk mode you will be able to use it as a usb-device on every PC.

  • Vosonic VP2160 wont run on Firmware Driver Version 1.13, having problems in getting Firmware downgrade Version 1.07, has anybody out there had a similar problem with this Portable Storage Device?

    I am having problems in Finding/Downloading Firmware for a Portable Storage Device (Vosonic VP2160). It has been suggested that I download Firmware Version 1.18, but that wont work.
    I have noted some where else that there is a Downgrade Firmware Version 1.07 but I am having great difficulty in sourcing it from Vosonic.
    Any suggestions out there?
    Thanks in anticipation,

  • FAT 32 & PORTABLE STORAGE DEVICES.

    HI
    i'm looking to buy a portable storage device (psd) for my
    digital camera - one where i can slot in the memory card &
    save my photos on it while im away.
    Amazingly, there are problems with these devices not being able
    to be formatted on macs "because they use FAT 32.."
    Could any one give me some advice about this subject.
    What i want to do is a regular anti fradmentation routine of formatting
    the psd every so often - All these types of product use FAT 32.
    What do i do...?
    d

    First, to comment on the Disk Utility formatting as "DOS", when I take the drive I formatted on the Mac as DOS and hook it up to Windows XP, XP identifies it as FAT32. As I said before, I use a 40GB drive and format the entire volume as "DOS" and it works fine as a OTG device. And when I hook it up to an XP machine, it sees the whole volume as well. However if you try and format it with XP, because it is above 32BG, you are not offered a choice of "FAT" or "FAT32" as a format to use, only NTFS. Microsoft designed their operating system to only format drives as FAT32 if the drive is under 32GB, however it, XP, will happily use a >32GB FAT32 volume if already formatted that way.
    I have looked at many of those other products you point to back when I was looking for something for this purpose. First and foremore, I use an Olympus camera that uses XD-Picture cards. Most of those devices that have built in card readers either do not support XD-Picture cards at all, or I couldn't get confirmation that the ones that can could read the newer 1Gig XD cards (many card readers won't).
    But in addition, I found many of those solutions to be very expensive, most costing several hundreds of dollars. They do have the advantage of having some sort of display, so they should be able to give you some feedback if the transfer was successful before you delete your photos from your card. Mine is simply a drive that will take any information off any USB device plugged into it, but doesn't really give you any way to check your photos transferred correctly. There is a light that will blink red or something if there is some sort of transfer error, but that is about it. So you have to kind of go on faith your transfer worked, if you don't have a computer you can plug the drive into and check (which you probably don't or you wouldn't really need this sort of device). But I have found mine to work fine and haven't experienced any problems yet.
    The Macally is a much cheaper solution since the enclosure is about $50 or so. Then you throw your own drive in. If you have one laying around already (say from a past laptp drive upgrade) your are ready to go. I bought a refurbed drive for about the same price so my total cost was roughly $100 for 40GB of portable OTG storage. You can probably find cheap smaller laptop drives to make your out of pocket price a lot less.
    One nice thing I like about this one is that is has a USB connector for the OTG feature instead of a card slot. So I can plug ANY USB mass storage device into it and the drive will read all the data in from that device. So you can plug a digital camera in directly, a card reader, a USB Thumb drive, another hard drive, etc.
    There are other OTG drives and drive enclosures out there. Here is a cheap one...

  • Zen Micro as a portable

    I'm trying to find more information on using the . I brought this with the intent of using it as both MP3 player and portable HD, and I heard from a friend that it isn't compatiable on a Mac as a portable HD. Is this true? I thought it would be like practically every other MP3 player, and act like a standard external harddri've when I plug it into a computer (PC or Mac) without installing any software... If I can't use this on a Mac, I'll be sorely disappointed, since I use Macs at uni'versity, and have a PC at home. Maybe I should have gone with an ipod mini instead. ~_~

    On my Zen Micro, the firmware version is .0.03e (French version). I didn't install the last version (2.00.2e with PlaysForSure) because it only works with Windows XP, and I have W2k at work and Wxp at home. So, I can't say more about that new version...
    One thing is sure: when you plug the Zen Micro in Removable disk mode, you can't see the music files installed on your Zen. In this mode, you only see a sort of "partition" which is completely different of the music partition. In fact, it's a working space you can use to transfer files from one computer to another. For example, if you can't install any software on your work computer, you can use the removable disk to transfer music files and when you are at home, copy these files on your hard disk and transfer them with Creative MediaSource software.
    Hope this helps!Alain

  • ZEN MICRO, USB wont recognize the device

    Hello, I recently bought a Zen Micro, and I plugged it in via the usb cable, and installed the drivers for it. After installing the drivers, I clicked on Zen Micro Media Explorer, and it said to please plug in your zen micro. The player functions, I can go through the menus and things, but my usb will not recognize the device.. HELP? I also went on the site and got the latest drivers. I also tried it on a different computer, with the same result. Did I forget to install something? <!--- IF THERE IS A SURVEY FOR THIS CATEGORY GET THE RESPONSES --->

    what i did when I first got my zen micro, as the instructions said, to insert the installation CD and install everything before plugging in the zen micro.
    maybe you can try deleting everything, then reinstalling the software from the installation CD then plug in your micro to see if that works...

  • Zen Micro as a portable HardDisk: PROBLEM WITH BIG FI

    Hello,
    i own a Zen Micro 5 GB, firmware is 2..02.
    When i tried to put a DIVX-movie on it, to take it to another computer, the file (around 700MB) was put succesfully on the Zen Micro's harddisk, but when i tried to copy it to other computers FROM the Zen, it failed, giving an error about insufficient memory. (on the zen i suppose, because this error came on different, good computers). Also, smaller files (like mp3) give no problems with this.
    IS THE ZEN MICRO ABLE NOT ONLY TO STORE LARGE FILES, BUT TO COPY THEM AS WELL, because using it as a portable harddisk was one of my main reasons for choosing this product.
    Or is my product faulty? Or firmware?
    Thank you for reactions, (others who experience this?), suggestions or solutions!
    Greetings!

  • USB Port keeps crashing my portable storage devices

    Ok no matter if it's an external hard drive or a usb flash drive, while transferring data my usb port will just die. The Device Removal window will pop up. If it's my flash drive then the light will keep flashing repeatedly. For the external portable hard drive i just keep hearing the disk start and stop spinning simultaneously. Anyone know how I would go about fixing this problem?

  • Portable Storage Device

    Does anyone know if there is a device similar to an prtable external hard drive that will store file/pics etc directly from a flash drive or memory card?  Would also have to use AC power not usb driven.  I am looking for something like this for vacation so as not to have to take laptop.  Thanks!

    I'm confused as to exactly what you're asking for.
    Are you looking to solely take photos with you, or are you looking for something that you can offload photos from your camera while you are on vacation?
    First option > USB thumb drive. High storage, cheap, fairly durable
    Second answer > You could look at a netbook if you're looking for something to offload photos from your camera, but doesn't take up much space.
    If neither of those are close, please explain a bit more.

  • Are any Thunderbolt portable storage devices available yet?

    I have a fairly new MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt port, which is running Lion. I am wondering if there are any portable Thunderbolt disk drives available yet that I can use on that port? I would love to have an external disk drive to store backups of my photos and other documents while I am on the road to replace my painfully slow USB 2 disk drive. If anyone knows of any offerings in this area, please reply to this message. A google search has not been helpful.

  • Zen Micro - Blank Scr

    Ok, so I bought my Zen Micro 6mb a few years ago and it worked great. Then my computer died, so I had no real use for it, so I gave it to a friend to use. He started using it as a portable storage device, but when he returned it it didn't work -at all- anymore.
    When I plug it into my USB, it does detect the device, but that is all. He told me he thinks he deleted the operating system on it, or whatever. Basically -everything- has been deleted. When I turn it on the screen is blank, except for the battery gauge.
    Also, I looked through all my CD's and DVD's but I can't find my installation disc. I swear I gave it to him, but it was like 2 years ago and I can't remember, but he says I never gave it to him. Is this a problem?
    I searched the forums, but since I really don't know what happened to it, I don't really know what to search for.
    Any help you could offer is greatly appreciated.

    If so many people are expirenceing this problem, its no just one or two player's that are at fault, maybe in the design of the player there was somthing overlooked.
    In my opinion this problem is somthing that Creative should definatly research into, as it could affect many more players. Its not good especally on players that are not even a month old!
    LCD (Liquid Cristal Displays) themselves don't just blow or go wrong, and its higly unlikely that this is what has gorne wrong, the problem may lay with the connection from the LCD to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) usually connected together with a flexible carbon track, sometimes these tracks can slip and make the display malfunction. This happend to my old minidisk player, if fixed the display problem by moving the carbon track - but i would not advise that anyone tampers with their player unless the warrenty has expired, and you cannot be botherd to get Creative to look at it.
    But i would reccomend that in warrenty or not, you should get Creative to repair the problem for you, as searching for your music "blind" is very annoying and frustrating!

  • Zen Micro Rev

    I just got my Zen Micro yesterday. Bought it on eBay because I specifically wanted the Dark Blue color with the extra battery. Cost was $260 shipped and it arri'ved in three days.
    I had researched getting a new MP3 player ever since my Zen Xtra fell victim to the dreaded headphone jack problem. I've sent it back to Creative for repair and will probably give it to my gf now that I have my Zen Micro.
    Prior to purchasing, I looked at several MP3 players. The most important factors for me are size, sound quality, price, and features. I like the Zen Xtra but barely used 4gb of space and it was fairly bulky and heavy. I considered the iPod as a friend of mine loves his and recommended it to me. Although the controls are intuiti've and the sound is decent, I balked at the price. With the iPod Mini starting at $300 for only 4gb of space lack of additional features, I really didn't even consider it. I checked out and even bought the Sandisk G model with the FM tuner. Extremely tiny, good sound quality, and priced at only $59 after rebates. Still, the space was extremely limiting even more my needs and I returned it.
    As it turned out, the Zen Micro was the perfect fit for me. It had the features I wanted and was fairly priced in my opinion. Here's my thoughts on the different aspects of the player:
    Cosmetic
    Quite simply, it's the best looking player I've ever seen. Small but not tiny, it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. The case that comes with it so you can attach the stand or belt clip does make it a little thicker but not that much. The most impressi've looking thing is how the player pulsates a soft, blue light when it is charging. A little ominous but it gives it a real hi-tech feel.
    Sound Quality
    I'm not an audiophile but I can appreciate good sound. For such a small player, the Micro deli'vers excellent sound quality. I think the max volume is 25 but for me 2 is more than enough. The headphones are pretty good considering they are stock. I've played around with a few of the EX settings and found Pop to sound the best. Haven't tried the custom setting so I can't report on that yet. Overall, very impressed with the sound quality.
    Functionality
    Having had a Creative player in the past, the interface was fairly easy to pick up. Still, this is probably the weakest part of the Micro. The touchpad takes some getting used to. I'm getting better at it but even at the least sensiti've setting I've had problems. However, I think that this will actually help the Micro become more user friendly. Once you get used to the touchpad, it is a very easy method for maneuvering through the various menus. The one thing I would have liked to have is a dedicated volume control. You can use the touchpad to adjust the volume while your listening to the player but there is no specific volume button like on the Zen Xtra or other MP3 players I've tried. I guess it's a matter of preference though.
    Features
    The FM tuner was one of the selling points. The reception isn't too bad where I'm at. I can get all the stations that I like to listen too although the sound quality isn't as great as a dedicated FM tuner. Still, it's a handy little feature for me. I still have to test the Outlook organizer feature but that's not something I plan on really using. The ability for the Micro to become a USB storage device is an outstanding feature. You basically have a portable storage device and can dedicate up to 2gb of space to store files. I've tested the feature on several computers and it works like a charm. Although most users probably won't use their Micro as a portable dri've on a regular basis, it's nice to to have this feature and it's one that I plan on using on a regular basis.
    Conclusion
    Everything considered, the Zen Micro is the perfect MP3 player for me. It's combination of good lucks, oustanding sound quality, features, and price is hard to beat. I don't know of any other MP3 player that combines everything that I'm looking for. I haven't run into any problems so far but I'm confident that Creative got it right with the Micro. Highly recommend it to anyone looking into a quality MP3 player. I don't think it's an iPod killer like some people have said because frankly, the iPod isn't in the same class.

    ERROR IWTH REVIEW:
    You mentioned that you cannot tune the radio for youself. You can do so however. Just go to the FM Radio and press the play/pause button. The 'Preset

  • Zen Micro to Xbox

    I'm trying to stream my music from my Zen Micro to my Xbox 360. These are the instructions Microsoft gives me to do so:
    . Connect a USB cable (not provided) between the device and a controller port on your console.
    2. Configure the device to play through the USB port.
    3. Select Media, Music, Portable Device.
    4. Select the music or playlist you want to listen to.
    My system won't let me acess the Portable Device option in step 3, so I think the problem is in step 2. How do I configure my Zen Micro to play through the USB port?
    Also, the microsoft website has Zen Micro listed as a supported device that may require a firmware update, but I looked through the list of firmwares, I don't know which one that would be.
    EDIT: Ok, after browsing around a little more, I found that I need the V.2 Firmware. But when I try to open it, it says that something is interfering with it and to close everything else. But everything else is closed, and I still get this. Help?Message Edited by antny85 on 02-9-20070:26 AM

  • Zen Micro - Player not connected - Firmware problem - no FAQ hel

    Hi!
    My Zen Micro made problems by turning on but anyway it started sometimes to the mainmenu where I could hear music. So I wanted to upgrade the firmware. By copying new firmware in the past there were no problems. For sure I cleaned the Micro up. I formatted it and wanted to upgrade the firmware...
    Now it starts with the screen "firmware problem" to the recovery menu and my firmare is now "v0.0.65". When I cable it to the PC via USB it gets found as a portabel device with the correct name "Creative Zen Micro". And the screen turns from the recovery mode to the screen when the Zen Micro is connected to the PC. So there is the paper in the middle with two arrows around. And on the top the caption is again "recovery mode". When I touch the up and down touchscreen the paper and the arrows disappear, but the caption remains.
    But by starting the firmare there is the message that the player was not found. And WMP can't find it with the synchronization mode...and so on. Nothing can find it except the working place. When opening the "Creative Zen Micro" menu ich see "Storage Media" with 20MB. I can format it but nothing changes.
    When I'm watching the specifications of the "Creative Zen Micro" the firmare version is "2.2.02_0.00.65".
    I reinstalled all creative software (including the registry entrys !) and rolled back WMP.
    But nothing goes right. Every FAQ which I followed doesn't repair my Zen Micro
    I also used a laptop and this didn't help too.
    I invested the hole day the day before yesterday, but I stuck.
    I hope somebody can help me.

    -Windows Media Player COMPLETELY uninstalled
    -in Device Manager ALL USB-Controllers uninstalled (don't worry about non-controlling your mouse or keyboard -> will install themselves after uninstalling or after restart)
    -restart
    -and TSCHAKAAA...Player was found and firmware could be installed (i installed for the first time again the 2.2 version. message was "installation failing" but it worked...anyway i reinstalled version . and the message was 'yeah. it works')
    -Player works!
    I hope this report can help some people.

  • A way how to fix the Zen Micro head phone jack prob

    Hi! I am one of the many people that purchased a Zen Micro MP3 player, I loved it until around 6 months of use, an audio shorting problem with the head phone jack, started to repeat it's self every time, that I would plug my head phone's into the Zen Micro head phone jack. After awhile, I was tired of this problem, so I just decided to never use it again, unless I could find out if the maker of the Zen Micro had a repair service. I noticed that some people had their Micro's replaced a few times under the warranty that is included with the player. I also noticed that some one created a way to fix this problem, but I wanted to see if I could find an easier way to fix the problem. Well I did end up finding an easier way to fix the problem, this is what I did.
    Absolutely in all means I can't be held responsible / reliable for any unforseen thing / things, that you may or could, do to the Zen Micro, by following the instructions, which I provided. By trying what I did by following the instructions, which I provided you; you accept all responsibility to any thing / things, that may or could happen to the Zen Micro.
    The Instructions:
    I took a stapler pressed it down to get a used staple then I carefully inserted it in the outer part of the plastic head phone jack ring. Then I pressed the rest of the staple flat against the Zen micro. And Now I get great sound, it is at least better than, the way it was before I inserted the staple. I would suggest to always remove the staple. When you connect the Zen Micro to a computer, charging device, or any other device other than a pair of head phones. You understand that if you leave the staple inserted in the Zen Micro and don't remove it. While you have it connected to a computer, charging device, or any other device, or devices, even a pair of head phones, and some thing happens, you can't hold me responsible.
    If you would like to see a photo of how it looks please reply to this message and just include your email address please. I will send it to you as soon as possible. The photo has 4 photos sized down to perfectly fit on one photo, so you can get a good idea of what it should look like.

  • Zen Micro Freezes when I plug in USB cable+USB not recognized at ti

    Ok, I know you, the reader, has heard this complaint posted over and over on the Creative forums, and you would probably tell me to SEARCH THE FORUMS. Well, I did, and I found no answer or solution to my problems. So..here goes nothing.
    I recently purchased a Black 5gb Creative Zen Micro, I was really content and happy with it...that is until I plugged it into my USB 2.0 Card. The moment I do that (I've tried plugging it in into every USB 2.0 slot, and NO, this isn't a hub, but a PCI card), The Zen Micro freezes! I have to resolve this by removing the cover and taking out the battery, then reinserting the battery. At the same time my Zen Micro freezes, a little bubble pops up on my computer screen saying "USB Device Not Recognized". I'm going absolutely out of my mind here, and am on the verge of returning the Zen Micro, and might get a replacement, and if that doesn't work, just returning the Zen altogether for a refund and getting a Rio Carbon. I really like the Zen, so PLEASE PLEASE help me out here!
    Things I've Tried That Did Not Work:
    -Uninstall/Reinstalling Zen Explorer, Mediasource (basically everything on CD)
    -Updating the drivers for Zen Micro found on Nomadness.net
    -Updating Firmware for Zen Micro
    -Going into rescue mode and cleaning up, Formatting, reloading firmware, and rebooting.
    -Trying the USB 2.0 Card in different PCI Slots
    -Rotating the order in which I connect the USB cable to Zen Micro and PC
    -Uninstalling/Reinstalling the drivers, even when the Zen Micro pops up as "Unknown Device"
    -Reading tips/hints on Nomadness.net
    I have scoured the forums, and have not found anything useful or new. I know its not the USB 2.0 Card's problem, since I plugged in my USB mouse into all the ports on the USB Card, and it worked fine.
    Note: When I plug the USB cable that came with the Zen Micro into the integrated USB slots on the motherboard (USB .), it at times, does work, but even then, not a high chance of it happening. Even if I do successfully connect the Zen to a USB . slot without it freezing up, the Zen ends up not being detected by any program, like Window Media Player, Mediasource, or Creative Zen Micro Explorer.
    I am going out this weekend and am gonna try to buy a new USB Cable, and if that doesn't work, returning the cable, and returning the Zen Micro to be replaced. AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK...GOODBYE CREATIVE! HELLO RIO! But please, any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated. I will also try to contact Creative Customer Support, but I doubt they'll tell me anything new, if I could even connect to them without being put on hold.
    System Specs:
    Windows XP Professional SP2
    Creative Zen Micro Firmware .02.05
    USB 2.0

    Yep, that's exactly my issues to.....no matter what I've done, including replacing the USB 2.0 card which WAS and Adaptec DuoConnect 2.0 card which works fine with every other USB device ever connected to it, the Zen Micro 6g is NOT recognized by Creative Media Source or WMP. It is only recognized by the PC in Device Manager, and it has a yellow marker on it, which tells me the drivers are not installed. I know I don't need the drivers installed, but even after installing them, it tells me the drivers are not installed.
    However, the answer is: it's definitely not the Micro, since it works flawlessly on my other PC and on my Toshiba notebook. So, it's some compatibility issue on that one PC. Since I refuse to let things be, I am reformatting that PC, reinstalling from scratch with WinXP and sp2. This PC has WinXP Pro but it has other issues so a reformat is in order anyway. Hopefully, this will resolve the issues. If not, then I say it's incompatibility with the Intel 865Perl m.b. But I'm at a loss as to why it won't work when plugged into the Adaptec card too.
