Zen Micro, FM Radio, Backup/Edit presets on P

Here is my question : is there a way to backup and edit radio presets on my PC ?
Let's say you named all your 32 presets on your Zen Micro and now you must format your device. Then you need to backup your radio presets on your PC in order to reload them onto your Zen after formatting.
And because it is not that easy to name the presets using the Zen Micro, it would be very usefull to be able to edit presets directly on a PC before transfering them to the audio device.
Is there any existing solutions ?
Is there going to be one ?
Thank you for any help.

a solution like you describe has been suggested before by users, but I'm unaware of any solution available today. :-(
Note, I'm not sure whether a Reformat erases you radio presets, but I do know that a "disc cleanup" (from the rescue mode menu) erases them (somewhat surprisingly, given the name of the action).

Zen Micro, FM Radio thru

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to attach the Zen Micro to your PC and have it play FM radio over USB and through the computer speakers. I know it is possible to do so with the mp3's on the Zen. I believe this would be extremely handy, especially for me.

just a straight stereo patch cable (like with the headphone jack on both ends)...from your player to the line in jack on your sound card. they are like 5 bucks at radio shackMessage Edited by flyer608 on 02-07-2005 2:50 AM

Creative Zen Micro - FM Radio Bro

Hi, I want to explain my bad experience with a Creative Zen Micro 6GB.
I bought it in late December 2005, and until now always worked fine.
Suddently, some days ago the Radio FM men? disappeared, as described in some other messages here in the forum. I've tryed to reset it, and to upgrade firmware again.
The upgrade procedure went fine, the reset/disk cleanup/format ecc. from Recovery Men? went fine too, but as final result the FM Radio doesn't work anymore at all.
Sometimes FM Radio men? appers, sometimes not (yes, randomly); moreover, when I try to enter FM Radio men?, the Creative Zen locks
I think I can't do anything else more, I already contacted Creative for support.
I already had nice experience with Creative support, so I don't worry too much; I'm just annoyed that a brand new product broke so soon...

Zen Micro Limited Edit

If I have my Zen Micro before the end of December, would it be safe to say that it will be a limited edition version? Mine came from newegg.com and I would really like to have the extra battery.

For how long does creative sell the new zen micro in the limited edition in Germany?

Zen Micro lose Power when Switched OFF??

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as me. I fully charged my Zen Micro last night and then left it and just switch it on for the first time now (8 hours later), and the battery indicator shows 2 bars left?
Seems like the Zen Micro loses power even when switched off!?!
Can anyone confirm that this is the case and whether I can do anything to stop it from happening? Is this normal with Hard Dri've MP3 player or only with the Zen Micro?
Thanks.

<EDIT: (April st, 2005):<JazzMC has taken the initiati've and written a sort of FAQ and put together a website with all the information to date gathered in one place regarding this power drain of the Zen Micro while off (in standby). It's a great read for those who want more information about the subject and probably easier than wading through this thread.You can view the document by clicking here: <Zen Micro Power Loss<. Thanks JazzMC!
Ditto here. I did do a disk cleanup last week and the micro seems to be holding it's charge longer now. It's still draining the battery while sitting idle though according to the bar indicator, but slower (go figure?). This is my only real issue with the Zen Micro as I love it otherwise!
One wierd thing I noticed was I charged it full then left it sit for about 3 days (checking it off and on) then on day 3 it was at one bar. So I plugged it into my home sterio and turned it on to see how long it would play for. I was really surprised to see it last a few minutes shy of 9 hours...
Could this be a battery calibration thing instead of it just loosing charge? Like the meter misreads the batteries actual charge over time instead of it loosing power?
Donno it's wacky, please fix Creative!

Zen Micro Photo Belt C

I was astounded to find that the MicroPhoto doesnt come with a belt clip... perhaps what I saw a few months back was the regular Zen Micro but the special edition release that included one, so i was under the impression that they all did...
Anyways, I cant seem to find any place to buy one... im not sure if i can buy a regular belt clip for the Zen Micro, since the Micro and the MicroPhoto are very slightly different sizes... within -2mm. Check out Creative's Specifications for both.
So can anyone point me to a place to buy a belt clip for the MicroPhoto, or simply will the regular Zen Micro clip work too?

So would you recommend i get a 3rd part belt clip then?
You can probably get a small camera case for not too much money or modify a cell phone or PDA case.
I found a PDA case on sale for a few $. I made a few modifications and it works very well as a case for my Zen Micro.

Are Zen Micros (5GB) Discontinu

Went shopping for another Zen Micro, and, found only the 6 GB available. I tried numerous Staples, and, Best Buy stores with no luck. I ended up buying the 6 GB (For $20.00 more) at J&R. All the stores I tried said, they doubt that the 5 GB would be back.
With all the problems I'm reading on the Micro 5, I wonder if Creative abandoned the 5GB
version, with a new modified version (Excluding The Problems)- Zen Micro 6GB?Message Edited by PegasusSound on 0-8-2006 2:00 PM

Those stores never seemed to have carried them in the first place when I was searching. I found my 5GB Micro at BH and it sells fast. When they put "In Stock" on their website, it's back to "Out of Stock" within hours.

Zen Micro/Naps

Hey, I searched the forums but couldn't realy find much info on people who have used their micro with the new napster to go service. I just did the firmware upgrade and have begun my trial membership on Napster and was wondering if anyone has experienced problems with it at all, and what happens to downloaded Napster files after the trial membership ends or I cancel my membership? I'm new to the whole membership music arena and just wanted to know some of your experiences.

The Zen Micro using Napster-to-go requires a firmware upgrade and the upgrade is still in beta. My micro, using beta ver. 2..02 is very sluggish in playback taking upward of 30 seconds to start a song and even more to jog to another song. I have tried the ?clean up procedure? and it has no effect. Creative?s tech support would not comment if this is a known issue with the beta firmware and would not comment on future drivers. I am very disappointed with Creative?s response because this leaves me in limbo. I am posting this here and anywhere else that will host it

Zen Micro and PPC confli

Hi,
Just recently acquired a Zen Micro 5GB. I've just finished updating the firmware to the latest PlayForSure install, installing all the updated software, and loaded my music on to it. Then I encountered a strange problem. I wanted to download my Calender and Contacts information from Outlook 2000 to my Zen Micro as a backup calender. I carry a Dell Axim X5 Pocket PC most of the time, and use it for scheduling and things like that. So, I dropped my PPC in it's cradle to sync my calender over to the desktop. Then I tried to connect my Zen Micro, with the Pocket PC still in it's cradle. Media Explorer couldn't find the device until I undocked my Pocket PC. Every other application (MediaSource, Napster, Musicmatch, Media Player 0) saw the Micro just fine with my PPC docked.
It's not a huge deal since undocking the PPC fixes it, but is there anyway to dock the Zen and my Pocket PC at the same time? I suspect the problem is in Windows XP itself, since I noticed that both my Pocket PC and the Zen Micro Explorer both fall under the "Other" category in My Computer. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered similar problems.
Hmmm......*wonders if he can sync his Calendar to Zen via Acti'veSync*.....

Try using MSCONFIG to reboot in a diagnostic startup. This should only load the basic software.

Zen micro radio without wi

I read that radio in Zen micro needs to use headphone wire to catch waves!

And my question:
What if I buy wireless headphones like ?Logitech Wireless Headphones for MP3. which connects by Bluetooth? Will the radio work? :smileyvery-happy:


If it'ss useful: I living in Poland. But all radio in Micro are the same-I think:smileyvery-happy:

Message Edited by tomasm on 08--2005 09:08 PM

I just tried with some headphones I have that have an extension wire. I removed the wire so the headphones themselves only have abour 30cm of cable. I actually got a reasonable reception, but I am in the middle of a large city. With the bluetooth headset I guess it's going to depend on exactly how much cable there is, not much presumably, and the strength of local stations.

Zen Micro radio prob

My Zen Micros radio doesn't work at all. When I try to listen to it there is no sound at all. Does anybody know why?

Just a thought - have you tried tapping the play/pause button to take it out of the "presets" mode? Mine is perfectly silent when in preset mode with no preset set. Tapping the pause button allows you to toggle to scan or tune via the forward/back buttons.

Availability of Zen Micro 4 GB en 6 GB editions in Holla

Hey everyone
I'm interested in buying one of those Zen Micro mp3 players, but in Holland there's still only the 5 GB edition available. I know that in the US they are about to launch a 4 GB and 6 GB edition too. Does anyone know if these types are also coming to holland, en if they are, then when?
I would really appreciate getting a useful answer,
Thanx already
Bart

Well, in some way, you're right. I've heard of stargate and it's true that in Holland they are always a couple of seasons late in comparison to the US.
It's actually too bad. I really adore all the great functions of the Zen Micro, but the capacity is a bit low, with it's 5 GB. Well, I'm thinking of buying a mp3 player around this june/july, so maybe if the 6 GB edition is released in Holland in the meantime, I'd be really pleased.
Thanx for your help anyways

Is zen micro meant to work with radio transmitters like the iTr

just wondering if the zen is meant to work with uni'versal radio transmitters like the iTrip or the belkin unit... i can't seem to find an accessory offered by Creative that does the same thing... please help

thanks for the replies =)
the reason i asked was because i used the tunecast with a cheapo no-brand mp3 player and it worked perfectly, but when i tried it out with my creative zen micro it wouldn't work... a new pair of AAA batteries fixed the problem though =) the old ones were still lighting up the little LED, but not powering the unit enough to transmit to the stereo...

Cannot Edit Playlists in Zen Micro Media Player for Zen Micro on Windows Vista 32

When I click on the icon for my Zen I do not get a folder list - just a music library. As a result I cannot edit any playlists I have created as there is no icon for it. Please could anybody advise me? Many thanks.

The Media Explorer for the zen micro is not compatiable for Vista I have the same problem.
