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

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).

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...

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...

Playing zen micro photo thru usb on warfedale portable cd pla

i just got a warfedale cd player which is supposed to be able to play music from mp3s or usb device but when i plug in my zen micro photo via usb to the front, it just charges and doesn't play. it does work on my brother's archos mp3 but not my mum's smaller archos. hers and mine both charge thru usb, his doesn't, so maybe that's?y?i thought that maybe a lead going from jack plug to usb might work on mine but can't find one anywhere, tho the guy in one shop said he could make one he didn't think it would work and that it should work thru usb anyway. i now wonder whether its just down to settings. can anyone help with this?:angry::robotmad::manmad::womanmad:?

Thankyou for replying, what tiype of cable would I need to buy in order to connect my creative. Many thanks

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 reception & headpho

Quick question for anyone. I currently have the Zen micro & I am looking to get a new pair of headphones. The one that came with it don't really fit my ears! I had heard at one time (I thought) that the headphones that came with it have the antenna built into for the radio reception. Is this true or false? If it's true do all of Creative's headphones have the antenna built into it's If not, will any headphones due?
Thanks for any help!!

any headphones will do...the wires of the headphones act as the antenna..

Zen Micro: Selecting Japanese Radio B

Hello,
how do I select the Japanese frequency band for the FM radio on a Zen Micro? I cannot find any setting to do it.
Regards,
Dirk

If I recall correctly, this was removed from the later firmware. I'm not sure if you have to use an Asian firmware now to access the correct FM band...

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.

Zen Micro Radio Recept

I have a zen micro, and I have to say I love it. I get almost 4 hours out of the batteries. I have had no problems whatsoever. My only thing is the radio reception. I know that it generally sucks, but I made a discovery last night. With any headphones I used, the reception was bad. When I plugged a Bose headphones extender into it the receptio jumped to almost perfect. It would seem that the reception is directly related to the length of the headphone cord. Has anyone else expireinced this?

I love in vancouver Canada, and im using the stock creative headphones and i so far have had no problem with the radio what so ever. although the sound does become fuzzy if i go into lower levels of the mall but that is just a minor thing to me.

ZEN Micro Photo FM RADIO MO

Hello,
sorry for my englisch! It is not so good!
I bought the ZEN Micro Photo Player and I have tried the FM radio Modus.
It is very bad! Everytime i hear some crackle! Whatever position i try i hear the crackle!
Someone know what the problem is? It's a great pity, because everything else is good!
Thank you for a answer

You can change your 'theme' in display settings> theme and this will give you a range of colours in FM radio mode. FM radio will usually sound better outdoors. Check battery power also. If it is still really bad, contact customer support.

Zen Micro Radio Problems -No Sou

I just bought a Zen Micro with the .0.03 firmware. It works fine playing mp3's but when I try the radio I hear nothing. Tried using autoscan and it picks up a bunch of frequencies that I know are not radio stations and I hear nothing on them either.
I upgraded to the new firmware (.02.05) but still no joy.
The radio worked once for about a second when I was trying to tune in stations, but that was only a short blast of static, the rest of the time its just quiet even with volume turned right up.
What gives?

ya just changed a sennheiser ear piece and it seem abit shorter than creative orginal ones..
and some stations becomes hissing....
as I know the FM antenna is the wire of ur earpiece.
but have to give and take , cos sennhesier earpiece sound more better....

Creative zen micro in the c

is there anyway i can hook my zen micro up in the car so it plays through my speakers and radio deck? . i see they have a belkin zen thing, but is that just a holder for it for going in your cup holder? if i cant listen to my zen in the car im tossing it and getting an ipod, i have enough problems with the welding on the head phone jack... .

If you've got a cassette player in your car, you can play your micro thru that (I do it all the time) using a cassette adaptor you can get for around $20 from practically anywhere. If not, seems like you'd have to go the FM transmitter route which will cost you more (see link). If your car has a single jack port (like the one used to connect your headphones to your micro), it should work with more than just an Ipod. My friend uses his for a non-pod product---you'd just need the little cable to go from your micro to your car's jack. http://us.creative.com/products/prod...57&product=427
