Zen Micro- CHINESE Language Display quest

Hi, i am looking to buy a Zen Micro really soon.
but i have a question regarding it displaying CHINESE CHARACTERS.
does anyone have problems doing so, or any suggestions or warnings?
do i have to have CHINESE Windows for it to work?
thanks.

I have mp3 files with ID tag information in traditional Chinese and the information displays on my Zen Micro without any problems. If you are using WinXP then you don't need a Chinese version - English WinXP is capable of displaying and manipulating Chinese data. Note that on WinXP you need to set default character set for non-unicode characters to either traditional or simplified Chinese, this setting should match the setting on your Zen Micro or you'll end up with gibberish.

Zen Micro Photo Pre-Set EQ Settings

Is there any documentation on the settings for the Creative Pre-Sets on the Zen Micro Photo I did a search but don't think I was coming up with anything ... mostly user settings.
Just curious as I am clueless when it comes to EQ settings and when I try to set my own, they just don't sound right. I know about the highs/lows and mids but was curious ... I am using Disco right now with Bass Boost OFF and it sounds good to me but was just curious about tweaking the settings in the Custom EQ.
Thanks!

There was a post a long, long time ago with some of the settings (i don't know the post or what the settings are), but the pre-sets are basically the same ones as in windows media player. WMP has more sliders to adjust the different ferquences than the ZMP has, but the presets are very close (if not identical) to the WMP ones.

Zen Micro - Initial setup prob

I just got my Zen Micro, and in my excitement to get it set up I plugged it in before installing the software (OOPS)... it says in the manual not to plug it in before installing the software. I unplugged it and tried to install the software (the CD autoran when I inserted it), but the installation program crashes after clicking "NEXT" on the first screen. Does anyone know if this is because I plugged in my Zen Micro before installing, and if so, if I can fix it's

apuffer: What happens is that if you connect it before installing the drivers it will mark the player as not having any drivers (normally you'd be prompted to intsall, and typically people cancel out of it).
There's a known problem caused by Quicktime 7, so firstly check for that and uninstall. Then try reinstalling the software again.
Assuming it installs OK hopefully it will pick up on the drivers being present, but if it doesn't just go back into Device Manager and delete the driverless Zen Micro device. Then physically disconnect and reconnect the player, and the drivers should install.

Zen Micro FM Improvemen

Hi
I have just recently got my Micro (updated with the latest firmware)
and its great!!!
The only feature I have a few small problems with is the FM radio,
I am in the UK, and the reception is not brilliant.
In all the portable radio devices I hav owned in the past, manually switching
the reception mode to Mono on Stereo stations, improved reception.
The Zen Micro radio, automatically sets the reception mode for a station, and you cant manually switch a stereo station to mono reception (at least, I don't seem to be able to)
Do you think a possible firmware upgrade would make it possible to do that, and save the desired setting with the preset? Something like choosing the mode between MONO/STEREO/AUTO
Apart from that, everything is excellent!
well done creative!
Dave

i have the same problem the reception of the FM its very fuzzy a MONO/STEREO switcher could be a good solution..

Reduced sound zen micro 6gb - from limited knowledge pers

Hi
We bought mp3 zen micro 6gb pink, in Feb for our daughter. In June she said the volume whether on the docking/speaker station or through the earphones was greatly reduced. When on 'high' you can just hear the music.
I tried to read other posting re volume but I did not understand anything! I am not very computer/mp3 literate, so I need very basic (dummy type) step by step instructions.
Many thanks
Aileen

Where/how do I check fimware?
In the audi setting - equiliser (EQ) is shown as 'Off" the settings are all 0 (table shows +2, 0, -2).
Smart volume is 'Off'
Have tried headphones which we got with the zen micro and another set. Both work with my portable CD player fine.
Volume of songs when played on pc are fine.
Any other advice?
Aileen
Have just looked in system and states version ..0 - is that the fimware?Message Edited by aileenchalmers on 08-24-2006 2:34 AM

Zen Micro Sett

When I am in the music library and am trying to change the setting under Zen micro properties nothing works. I can't change the startup screen or EAX or presets. I do have a creative sound card.

Bloogen,
Nothing is wrong with it. You can't change those setting as the zen micro does not support changing of startup pics and it does not have EAX. Only selected player that have those feature will be able to access those settings.

Zen Micro Calendar feature, how to set up to sync with MS Outlo

hi,
i finally got my zen micro working, it has fully charged and i have downloaded some songs to it, the sound is great and it's playing the music!!!
i'm now testing the calendar feature. does anyone know or have instructions on how to set up the zen micro to sync with MS Outlook to download the contacts, notes, etc?
thanks!!!

thanks Catherine,
i used the cd that came with the zen micro. what i did now is uninstall all creative softeware from my computer. rebooted.
then install the zen software for the micro. rebooted
after that, there was no shortcut to the zen micro explorer, only thing in the shortcut was the product registration.
but i installed the same on a machine that runs Windows 2000 and it installed everything correctly.
whereas the machine that does not work is using windows xp.
would there be a conflict with the zen micro software on a windows xp operating system?
thanks

Zen Micro - - - Setting Recording Lev

Hi All,
Is there any way on the Zen Micro to adjust recording levels? Everyone knows that all CD original recordings were not created equally - some are loud, some too loud, some recorded at barely a whisper. I want to make sure that the flow of different tracks on my Zen Micro are all at the same level. Any help would be appreciated. Happy Holidays!!
Dan S.

Thanks SSR. I tried it out and it seems that the "Smart Volume" function lowers the volume of the majority of tracks to the lowest common denominator level - meaning that louder and better cd recordings are lowered to match the less than stellar recrdings. I was hoping to boost the lower recordings to a higher level since the micro zen paired with the Sony fontopia E7 earbuds already struggles with louder volume reproduction.
With my old tape deck recorder, I could boost or lower the recording level at the source instead of manipulating the signal after it is recorded.
Thanks.

Zen micro startup picture and EAX setti

Zen micro has a possibility to change the startup picture, doesn't it's In the creative mediasource there is an option Change the startup picture (below EAX settings) but it's not acti've, I mean you can't do anything with it. I would love to change the Creative animation for something else but I don't know how, it's just the same with the EAX settings.

No, you can't change the startup screen on the Micro. It is greyed out in MediaSource, because this software is also used for players that CAN change the startup screen.
And indeed, as bloodangel05 says, the Micro has no EAX

Zen Micro Button Light Brightn

Hi,
I just received my silver Zen Micro which is now receiving its initial charge and I can't wait to play with it. I noticed however that when the light is on, the play/pause button is significantly brighter than the other buttons. Is this the norm or is this a quality control issue? It also looks like the outer glowing ring is slightly misaligned.
This one also has no 'back' word under the back button. Is this indicati've of an 'older' Zen Micro or a 'newer' one? Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. GLAD to hear that the brighter blue of the play/pause is normal. I suppose that's to make it easier to find/identify in the dark.
As for the lack of the word 'back' on the back button... I think I can handle figuring it out without the word present... I'm kinda smart like that. I think I know why it doesn't have the writing but I'm not certain. My unit was listed as the English/French version, perhaps for sale in Canada. I got it for xmas from my girlfriend (isn't she the best?!!) who bought it from eCost. So if it's for both languages, that would explain the use of the international sign for 'back' rather than the actual word.

Is zen micro photo really worth buyi

i am not sure to buy it or not
can hear someone's opinions so i can make a decision
Pease
THANX

I've had the Microphoto for 3 days now and used it extensi'vely, also at the gym. I gotta say I was disappointed at first and was going to return it (for the reasons listed below), but since then was able to compromise/work around them and came to appreciate it's advantages. Here are MY initial cons and my dispositions after 3 days, as well as the pros....you decide how to weigh them:
Con:
- Static noise => The noise evidently is induced by the colour display, i.e. it's only there while the display is lit, which isn't usually the case, as the player shuts it off to save battery after a few seconds if the the touchpad isn't used
- No charger => Oh well, you can either charge it while connected to USB or buy an external charger for a few bucks on ebay
- No resume feature when changing playlists/changing to FM radio => Bookmarks can do the job just as well, it didn't take me very long to get used to it
- Slow upload => I still don't like that!
- Messy/faulty/lacking Media Organizer Software, e.g. external m3u playlists can't be imported directly to the player, freezes up etc. => That is still a big con, but I was told here that a 3rd party software (Notmad) can do everything the Creative software can't, unfortunately it's not free :-( but I guess I will get it.
Pros:
- Biggest pro has to be the HUGE memory (8GB) at a s size smaller (i.e. thinner) than the original Zen Micro. I don't think there is one player out there that squeezes that much memory in such a small palyer and still keeping the weight down.
- Using the custom equalizer settings the sound quality is superb IMO (and I've gone through 3 different mp3 players so far), in contrary to what people have reported here. Enabling the bass booster gives it an extra kick, I like it!
- Audio normalizer (normalizes all tracks to the same volume), that's a great feature!
- The display is bright and clear IMO (also contrary to what people said), there are 0 brightness/contrast settings, the highest making it extremely bright and flourescent. Mine is set to 7 which works just fine in daylight.
- The case seems very sturdy, almost indestructable, I think it's out of metal, no flimsy plastic pieces here as with most players
- The battery life seems very good, I haven't done a long enough field test yet, but after fully charging it and doing three .5 hour gym sessions, it's still charged more than half.
- Simply put: FM Tuner!! I refuse to get any Apple product, as they persistently ignore consumers' requests/complaints to add a lousy FM tuner to the iPods. What is Apple's problem anyway?
Well, the pros outweigh the cons in my case, my older player (Mpio FL00) just can't compete anymore, and iPods are out of the game because a) everybody has one (boring) and b) they have no FM Tuner......so I decided to keep the MicroPhoto hoping I will stay happy with it!

My Zen Micro firmware wish li

Hey folks. Sorry if this has been posted somewhere already. Just wanted to see everyone' thoughts on what they'd like to see implemented in the next firmware release of the Zen Micro. I just got my new Zen Micro the other day. I am I am switching from my Iri'ver H20. I am very impressed with this little player and feel like I made a good investment. So, with this being my 3rd mp3 player, I would like to suggest the following be added to the next firmware update. To the folks over at Creative, thanks for listening, unlike the Iri'ver people.
# Where is the bass boost? I listen to a lot of RnB and rap music. The EQ does a fine job, but a bass boost would be preferable. My Iri'ver had this feature and it sounded great. Through in BBE while you're at it.
#2 I have all my music organized by genre and title. It would be nice to be able to browse my my collection simply by genre/title, rather than genre/artist/title. I understand that other users have different preferences, so why not make the music browsing system customizable?
#3 I have a problem with my vertical touch pad. When I try to scroll though all of my tracks by pressing and holding down the top or bottom of he touch pad, it doesn't work half the time. This should be fixed where you could scroll down by simply pressing and holding the vertical touch pad anywhere below he mid-section and vice versa for scrolling up.
#4 Crashing is a major problem with this player. This bug needs to be hunted down and fixed. The touch pad is too sensiti've (And no, I don't like leaving the hold switch "on" all of the time because I like to access a button, like song skip or volume immediately without having to adjust the hold switch first. ) and when accidently pressed, and too many thinggs are pressed at the same time, the player crashes. Maybe a rubber case that makes accidental touch of the touch pad less likely (like the ipod rubber cases) would be useful.
#5 Having the player display the time at the top of the screen next to "now playing" in the Now Playing screen would be neat. The player knows the time. Why shouldn't we? Especially when we get so caught up in the player, we forget the time and is late for that staff meeting Smile
#6 A queue function for setting a specific song to play next when listening to your entire library at random is a good idea. My Iri'ver had this function. It lacked the On the Go playlist thingy, which I prefer, but queuing a song to play next would be niftier than creating a specific list to accomplish the task.
#7 Ok, I'll jump on the battery bandwagon too. Please fix the battery drain issue.
#8 In the now playing screen, between the elapsed time and remaing time, include file type (wma, mp3, wav) and the bitrate info.
#9 While I'm talking about file types, and even though I don't have a single Ogg file, support for this format would be a good idea. while AAC is only available in Ipods (I think) Ogg is being included in a wide range of players and is seemingly the next big thing. I might decide to ogg some of my music one day.
#0 Please give this player the ability to record in mp3 format. I know it may be harder on the players processor, but the file types would be smaller and allow for more recording and recording time.
# I know this is a problem for mp3's but gapless playbacl and a crossfade feature for WMA's would be a good idea. I would love this when I listening to genre music, like dance. That would truly make this player remarkable. I think i would prefer this feature more than anything else. Wink
In conclusion, I want to reiterate that you guys have built a top notch player and is one of the best on the market. I retired my still more expensi've Iri'ver h20 player in favor of this one. Thanks once again for listening.

this is a post i initially made on nomadness.. however, here it goes.

hey, i really like the glow when it charges.. could we have it configured like, for example: charging|power suply|always (i hear you about the 4h on that 650mAh; btw why only 650mAh?!) somebody else thought that it might be nice for the glow to follow the 'beat' of the song currently playing and that would be very nice also.
then i also like to know what i'm listening to, so sometimes i look at the display but as the backlight is off and it's late and the lights aren't on yet, i need to make it react so i have to push a button or something.. so i thought it would be nice to have at least the option to have it 'on' always. btw, i use to have it connected to a powes suply almost all the time if i'm not on the road, moreover, i use it to put me to sleep, therefore, the glowing thingy would be a nice 'effect'. a new thing: i have micro 5GB with fw ver 2..02e and while it is connected to my pc, it is on stand by docking mode, no explorer window (or wmp0) is accessing it, it charges the battery but since it is in docking mode i cannot access it (listen to music). i don't know if because it is a BETA version, but it would be nice to have the possibility to 'undock' it when in stand-by docking.. so i can listen to music while it is charging using USB but i'm not interested in transferring to music. i am using xp professional sp2 with no creative drivers/software installed. anybody else has this problem?
