Zen Micro - New Downloads - Applications (With or without *PlaysForSu

Are these entirely NEW applications or Upgrades to the current Explorer, Sync Mgr, Import Wiz, CD Rip Wiz software ?
Will there be any selections required when executing ZENM_PCAPP_LB__00__MTP.exe ?
Please advise...
Thanks in Advance...

Sharkman205,
The install only requires that you have the drivers for the Zen Micro installed and have the MTP firmware installed. They contain the entire application.
The Firmware requires that the drivers for the Zen Micro are installed. You will also want to back up your songs. Otherwise it should be an easy operation to install the upgrade.

Zen micro photo download problems with Virgin digital music c

I'm new to all this and got my first Zen microphoto for fathers day (UK). The player worked fine for about three days.
Then, when I was downloading about thirty tracks, I got an 'unknown error' message. From that point on the player would not accept any downloads. I re-loaded the firmware as advised by creative but it would only ever accept one track at a time which is useless. I got fed up and returned it to the shop for a replacement.
I have had the second one for about two weeks and exactly the same thing has happened! Do any of you wise people have some advice before I throw the player or possibly myself out of the window.
Life is too short to waste this much time.
thanks in advance
for the technos, I have WXP and WMP0 which seems to be the perfect configuration?

If you have WMP 0. Otherwise, make sure that you have MediaSource (although I prefer Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer, both of these come on the CD that came with your device).

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!

If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it.

New firmware for Zen Micro Touch download message said can't use firmware now lost all origi

Tried dowloading new firmware as suggested by Creative as tracks slipping. Firmware saved to my received files but message says 'cannot use this firmware upgrade - download a suitable firmware' now my Zen says firmware error - please help wot have I done wrong or need to do??

You're right!
!!! I tried to download the wrong thing... I've downloaded the Zen Micro firmware which was the same as what i had i.e. V.0.0.65 and did clean up but the tracks are still slipping - any idea?

Zen Micro new firmware 2.00

I would strongly advise you only use this firmware update if only intend to use Windows Media Player. There are significant changes in the Zen Micro Media Explorer and you cannot use MediaSource if you update to this firmware.

Be sure to back up all the audio and data files on your Zen Micro before installing this firmware update as all content will be lost when you install the new firmware.

After installing the PlaysForSure/MTP firmware, use Windows Media? Player 0 to restore audio and/or data files to your player.
This firmware will currently ONLY work on Windows XP.
Installation of this firmware may take up to 5 minutes, and your device may reboot a number of times during installation. 
This firmware update adds "PlaysForSure" or Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) functionality to your Zen Micro. As a PlaysForSure/MTP-enabled device, your Zen Micro will be recognized on Microsoft? Windows? XP systems, without having to install drivers or software. Windows Media? Player 0 will be the primary application for content management between your Zen Micro and your computer.

PlaysForSure/MTP devices enable you to:

a.. Enjoy seamless support with any computer running Windows Media Player 0 and Windows XP - no drivers or software needed b.. Drag-and-drop songs or files to your player through Windows Explorer c.. Use Auto Sync and Windows Media Player 0 playlist support d.. Support future subscription-based online music services

PlaysForSure/MTP-enabled devices may:

a.. reduce the maximum number of media files because of additional memory requirements. b.. require software updates if you want to use any currently installed applications like Creative MediaSource, Zen Media Explorer, or other track management tools with your player.

NOTE: This release does not support all types of subscription-based online music services. There will be a future firmware release where all Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM) 0 features will be supported.
Download direct here.
Also, if you use it, make sure to download the new Zen Micro Media Explorer here as the previous version will not work with the new firmware.

HEY CREATIVE ! BIG MISTAKE WITH v2 EXPLORER!! PLEASE MAKE IT LIKE HTE OLD ONE WHERE U CAN CHANGE THE ALBUMS/ARTISTS etc WITH OUT ACTALLY GOING INTO INDIVUAL FILES!!!

Replacing zen micro's hard drive with compact fl

I dropped my zen micro the other day and the hard dri've is dead
And I m li've outside the us and the warranty expired
So its dead and buried and I was going to get a new anyway
But while it sits there I dissembled the zen micro
And found that the hard dri've is a Seagate st 5gb
And the interface is compact flash
And here?s a crazy though can I put a memory card compact flash
Say GB or 52 MB
Could it work? And reload the firmware from pc?
Waiting for your reply guys
Please help if this works it will be very cool

I ordered a dead unit off eBay, on a whim. Just like the description said, the HDD was bad, but hey thats a minor detail right? For me, the CF card swapped in fine, originally I was using a little 6mb until this one came in the mail (gb Kingston.) Sadly, neither have worked. I can format the disk within recovery mode, but I cant connect to my computer to upgrade the firmware. Also, I cannot load the original firmware, so essentially the player is bricked. This is a bit of a stretch, but could someone extract the firmware this way?) Back up all of your music2) Reboot into Recovery Mode3) Format the dri've4) Choose reload firmware5) Update firmware through Windows6) Using the "Take apart a Zen Micro" guide, remove the microdri've or CF card you are using for the Zen Micro HDD7) Using a standard multi-card or CF card reader, insert the card extracted in step six8) Copy the contents of the CF card in its entirety, and send to a zip or rar.9) Upload the zip using a free file-sharing website, such as Megaupload0) Tell us all about it!
Could someone do that for me? I'll make you cookies The reason I'm looking for the extracted firmware is I believe that the player will recognize whatever is on the card, regardless of how it got there. Since I cannot interface with my device using USB, this looks like my only option. Unless someone else knows of a site or file that has an extracted firmware that came from the .exe, or knows how to do that without plugging in a player?~ScabiesAdmins, let me know if I'm upsetting the feds. And if not, then let me know if the card has a proprietary file allocation system?****EDIT****Indeed, the CF card has been formatted to some Creative File System (not real name,) therefore I cant get into it. BUT I did manage to get the firmware to update, and the player is now clickin along just fine!IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH FIRMWARE, ALWAYS TRY MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER.Now you know...

Zen Micro Music Download Conundrum - Really Frustrated Help Nee

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...

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...

Zen Micro - New Models and Australian Pric

I am looking at purchasing a Zen Micro however before I do I have a few queries:
** According to the US Creative website, a 4GB and 6GB Micro will be launched very soon.
) Does anyone know when these variations will be available in Australia?
2) And will they have any different features to the 5GB model (apart from differing memory)?
** The US pricing is around 20% cheaper than Aussie prices. Currently the 5GB model retails for ~A$370 in Australia vs ~US$229 (A$290) in the US.
3) What is the reason for the difference in price?
4) What are the anticipated prices for the 4GB and 6GB models (when released)?
5) Should I hold off my purchase until the next round of price drops hit Australia?

SSR wrote:
5. There's always some price drop around the corner
Well I was going to buy a Zen Micro 5GB today, but now I am going to hang out and see if I can pick up a 6GB for around the same price. Hopefully these hit Australia shores, at a reasonable price soon. Does anyone have an inkling on how long products take to hit Australia? (Weeks/months)?[/b]
This has been the most dynamic few months in the MP3 market for sometime. *Fingers crossed* Creative can keep competiti've against Apple - Apple's recent price drop almost saw me rush out and buy a new mini (even with all it's limitations).

Creative Zen Micro Photo not work with

Hi,i formatted my hd 2 days ago.
I loose my cd with creative zen micro photo expoler.
When i connect my mp3 with usb cable appears an autoplay window of windows Xp that show me what i cand do with my mp3(Transfer Files with Windows media is the only option).
How I can do to use my mp3 with Creative Organizer?
Where i can find creative zen micro photo explorer?

Top of page on Creative banner, click Support-> Downloads-> MP3 Players-> Zen-> Zen MicroPhoto, chose your language and Operating System and select the software that you need.
Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the Show Details... pop-u
ps.
Looks like Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer isn't posted any more, so Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB) would probably be your best bet.
I have had no luck getting MediaSource 5.x to work with my computers and I've tried very hard.

Zen MIcro-Problems downloading so

I am having problems downloading songs onto my new Zen MIcro 5GB MP3 Player. I have read the online instructions and it says to use the drag and drop method? I'm confused. I added my songs into the music library and then into the selected music folder as instructed, but they are still not showing up on my player. Please help. I'm FRUSTRATED!!!!!

Drag and drop refers to the player appearing in Windows Explorer. You then drag the files from the relevant folder to the player icon.
It sounds like you're using MediaSource, and have imported the files into the PC Music Library. Now you need to transfer them from the PC Music Library to the player. Note that having the tracks in the PC Music Library is not necessary, you can just transfer them direct from the My Computer view. Here is a thread on transferring using MediaSource.

ZEN MICRO FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD PROBLEM! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!

I've had my 6gb micro for a little over 2 wks..and i wanted to download the free 30 day Napster to go offer that came with my package..and one of the steps before downloading Napster was updating Zen Micro's firmware..well i tried and it downloaded and after it asked me to select my language, i got a message saying: "your player's not connected, please connect your player" and my mp3 was hooked up through the USB..so i tried reconnecting and it still said the same...so at this time i skipped over updating this firmware and downloaded my subscription to Napster anyway...everything was working fine..i was downloading songs in Napster and syncing them with windows media player 0 which i already had on my comp...but about 5 days ago, my syncs began to start failing often...and I'm sure that i need these firmware updates for my mp3 to transfer files successfully but the problem is that my mp3 is not being recognized every time i try to install these firmware updates.... I'm quite stumped at this point.....DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY HELP THEY CAN OFFER ME.. ID GREATLY APPRECIATE IT by the way the firmware version that came with my player and is currently on it is 2.20.05

The firmware version you have is fine for Napster tracks, so you don't need to update. If your transfers are failing, there's something else going on.

[Zen Micro] New Firmware 1.10.02 - standby adjustme

Just downloaded this firmware but have not installed it:
Creative Zen Micro Firmware .0.02
"This web release enables you to upgrade the firmware for your , 4, 5 or 6GB Creative Zen Micro player.
You can upgrade from Creative Zen Micro firmware .02.05 or earlier, or Zen Micro PlaysForSure? firmware 2.00.2 or later. After upgrading, you cannot go back to a previous Creative Zen Micro firmware version."
====
I do not want to install this to my Micro if I cannot go back to a firmware that I know works (.02.05), but it is (I think) the latest ... There is however, nothing in the description that says this is the firmware that will allow for a shorter standby time.
Any brave souls want to give this a try and report on it ...
I'm too chicken when it comes to 'no rollback firmware'.
jake

belay that and sorry for posting this without thoroughly searching through the forum ...
From a post on nomadness.net:
All,
.0.02 is the PDE firmware that enables the 4hr. standby timer. There will be an MTP version that does this also, however the PDE firmware was ready first so we released it ASAP.
