Zen Micro Music Not Showing

I have a Zen Micro and I didn't update the firmware since purchase 2 years ago. It worked fine until this evening I transfered songs and they didn't show up on the player. They showed up on my pc as though they were in the player but they are not. I went ahead and updated to the latest firmware and software releases per this forum's instructions. The unit syncs up to the PC just fine and appears to transfer songs. They show up on my pc as though they are on the Micro but when I attempt to access them all my player says is " Select Music To Play From Music Library ". What am I missing?

I'm no expert, but I think Etomi would work for you. I've been downloading music from them for a while now, and while I haven't had an MP3 player to try and download the music to, I know that at the very least, music I got from Etomi is on my hard dri've, and I can burn CDs with those songs.
I also know there is some type of way to convert MP3 to WMA and vice versa although I've never done it.
just google "WMA to MP3" and you should find some sites...

Zen Micro does not accurately show length of

For most of my mp3's, the Zen Micro doesn't show the correct length of the mp3. For example, I have one mp3 that is like 20 minutes long, but for some reason it only shows a little over 4 minutes (4:06 for example).
Once it goes past the 4 minutes, it keeps playing, but the length won't increase...so if I were to fast fwd or rewind, it does it as of the 4:06 mark.
Other mp3's will be six minutes long and it only shows it as 20 seconds.
Has anyone else experienced this?

That sounds like an MP3 format problem. Try re-ripping the MP3 with a better encoder. It's probably something wrong with the way the MP3 got tagged.

Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
Any help greatfully received!

What to do if new firmware for zen micro is not for you

Ok its pretty simple, takes long but it should work (never been tested)
Uninstall the new firmware (keep all your songs saved onto PC music library)Install the cd you were given with the zen micro.You'll have all your songs on your pc library ( i would reccomend clearing out you zen micro music library and just putting the pc music library songs on your zen micro from there) so just transfer all the files you want onto the zen micro and it should be running fine.please reply and tell me what happens.Zenmastertml

Hi Prakash,
As per GAAP - FI general accepting account principal,
Balance is define as on date,
while transaction/P&L can define for perticular period date range.
Here, I guess you want to see balance as on 30.06.2011
and transaction for 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011.
Am i right?
FYI, If you use 0BALANCE for any period, let say 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011
then it will show balance for last day 30.06.2011
because its aggregation is SUM, LAST Value on time characteristics.
More detail on requirement will help us to provide you better solution.

Zen micro music downlo

Is this player compatible with any of the pay music download sites? I can't find anything that has a driver so i can drag and drop music on to the player.

I signed up for Napster and downloaded my first song. I noticed that it did not recognize my portable device and the error message was that it was not plugged in. It was definitely plugged in and working. I loaded 800 songs from my personal library earlier. I looked at the supported players list and noticed that the zen micro was not on the list. I tried MSN and several others as well. All the same thing. I was just wondering if someone has signed up for a pay - per - download site that has worked with the zen micro. I realize that this is a new product so it may take some time.

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

Hello there Jameskuo47,
In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
This section specifically:

Why does my music not show up in the iCloud?

Why does my music not show up in the icloud?

A slight confusion on my part. I have just discovered that it is all saved on itunes. Many thanks.

Why is my music not showing on my account in 2 separate computers?

Why is all of my music not showing in my library on 2 separate computers?

Did you put your music on the computers?

Zen Micro Music Download Conundrum - Really Frustrated Help Nee

<SPAN class=posttext>Man am I frustrated - really frustrated. Here is my conundrum:
I have a Zen Micro. I want to purchase music online. It is a frikin' maze of problem solving. I download from iTunes, they have some sort of proprietary format that my Zen won't play. Okay - no problem. I go to Yahoo music. You have to pay to subscribe and then download. They are wma anyway. Napster is wma as well. Walmart music is wma too. I would try Rhapsody, but I think you have to pay to subscribe and download as well. It just occurred to me - Sony has a music download site as well? I will check them next. I tried converting the Napster wma into an MP3 but I got a message the Creative software cannot convert the file. Arghhhhh.
So - what is the easy way? Is there a site I can pay and download mp3 music files and transfer them to my Zen Micro? Or is there a freeware converter to convert wma files into mp3 files - that is if the downloaded files do not have a voodoo whammy curse on them that prevents them from being converted.
Might "Play for Sure" fix this? As far as I can tell this is for subcription services, not for single downloads.
Thanks for any help.

I'm no expert, but I think Etomi would work for you. I've been downloading music from them for a while now, and while I haven't had an MP3 player to try and download the music to, I know that at the very least, music I got from Etomi is on my hard dri've, and I can burn CDs with those songs.
I also know there is some type of way to convert MP3 to WMA and vice versa although I've never done it.
just google "WMA to MP3" and you should find some sites...

Zen Micro Firmware Not Reload

I am trying to reload my firmware onto my Zen Micro 5GB but the firmware tool keeps asking me to connect the device. It is connected to the USB cable and my computer recognises it (i can access it through My Computer and it shows up in the device listings). The firmware tool doesn't recognise it though. Before I lost the firmware, the Zen Media Explorer also would not recognise it, even though the Media Source did. I don't know how to reload my firmware on to the player now.Can anyone help?

I've had a look at some posts that state that roll back (or install) WMP0. However, I can't do that as my system won't let me. It states that WMP0 is incompatible with my Windows (XP Home SP2). It says to go to Details for further information, but this brings up a Windows webpage that is no longer present. I just can't figure out how to force the firmware to upgrade when the firmware program wont recognise that it is connected.

Zen Micro - music won't trans

I have 355 songs on my Zen Micro and it says I have 55 MB space. I deleted about 0 songs and the free space didn't change at all... I think there's something wrong. ?
When I try to transfer music to my Zen Micro in Creative Media Source it doesn't work, it rips the song from the CD but when it comes to Writing it it just says Error: Unable to create file.
I looked through old topics and couldn't find this problem. Help!!
thanks a lot,
sam.

Did you try to delete the song with the Micro itself? You probably just deleted it from the Now Playing playlist, not from the unit itself. You have to navigate directly to the song (By going Artist->Album->Song) first and then select delete to truly erase the file.
I find that the best and easiest way to manage the music on my Micro is through the desktop software (Creative Media Explorer, WMP, or Notmad). The Micro's user interface is great for all types of playback, but blows for things like tag editing, playlist creation, or file maintinence.

MP3 Zen Micro Music Purchasing Progr

I'm thinking of buying the Zen Micro but I don't know where i can buy songs that are supported by the Micro. Where does everyone get their songs?

I would recommend the Napster-To-Go service. I can't even imagine paying $.99 cents per song, and never have. For a flat $5 a month, you can download a mountain of good music, and stuff your new Zen Micro to the gills. I loaded a gigabyte of music into mine just this afternoon, sure would not have happened at 99 cents a pop.
I wish I could have turned Rhapsody into Napster-to-Go - I much prefer it, but they are still on the insane 99 cents a track plan if you want to take the music on a portable device (as the monthly fee is $0). What I love about Rhapsody is the great depth of genres to choose from. When I saw the Napster genre list I almost fell over it was so simplistic. It can also be a pain if the music you want to smack on your Zen is in Napster as a "buy" for 99 cents, but I can li've with that.
Since my son and I would fight over one music account anyway, we've decided to keep one Rhapsody account, and one Napster, and we're pretty well covered, still prefer Rhapsody on the home computers. I can open both at once, and go through the Rhapsody lists I spent eons building to help pick out the music for Napster lists to put on the Zen.
I have just one warning for you if you are a new Zen Micro owner - never under any circumstances hit the "Reload Firmware" command. I, and many others on this board, ended up with a pretty paperweight. Luckily I killed it in the first 30 days from Amazon, I sent an email that mine was defecti've, and received a replacement less than 48 hours later - have 30 days to return the broken one.

HUGE Zen Micro Music Prob

Ok...i've had this problem practically since day ...i got it for x-mas. Everytime i add a song...it doubles it. Just recently...i added 57 songs. I look on the list...on my computer...and GUESS WHAT?!?! 44 (ish) songs...woohoo. What do i do?
Please dont say delete each double...that will take WAY TOO LONG!

sorry..it was clear in my head ;-)
I just meant that all i'm doing is the ripping phase. i am not moving the tracks to the zen device, just ripping cd tracks to my laptop. is use zen micro explorer for the ripping phase; notmad will not rip cd's. ultimately, i would transfer to the device using notmad. BUT, the duplicates show in the library immediately upon ripping the cd. it does not happen when i download a song, only when the tracks go into the library from a cd. Ideas?
Not life-threatening, but certainly annoying.

Zen Micro 5gb not detected w/ USB ca

i just got my new micro and have had no luck getting the usb cable to work.
) i installed all of the spyware-bloated software required to copy music over to the player and found that none of them can detect it. not even the removable disk mode works. (and yes my usb port works - i even tested 2 other computers to see if they would pick it up)
2) after wasting hours of my time going through the forums and reading anything even remotely related to Zen Micro usb problems i finally decided to go into recovery mode and "Reload Firmware."
3) after plugging the player back in to see if it will be recognized by windows and then reload the firmware, it continues to go undetected. (i ran the "Creative Zen Micro Firmware update" with the micro connected through USB and it does not detect it.)
*) concerning the quote about the removable dri've feature
"If you are using a shared computer in school or at the office, and installing Zen Media Explorer is not possible, you can still transfer data files. However, you must enable Zen Micro?s Removable Disk mode when you do this."
since you do not even need any extra software to use the removable disk feature, besides an OS like WinXP, i'm assuming that either the player or the usb cable it came with is busted. in either case i'm planning to get it exchanged for a set that works.
am i the only one who's run into this problem? any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Message Edited by assman on 09-2-2005 0:50 PM

It would be nice, but they don't have any facility for remote working (I'd have to work from Brazil, my current location). Aside from issues of them actually having vacancies etc. Maybe if everyone sends an email to Sim Wong Hoo.... I'd very much like a job, as getting one here in Brazil is proving impossible for a Gringo like me
Anyway, I hope you get your player replaced ASAP and can get on with the business of listening to music!
