Zen Micro Organi

I have a Zen micro with firmware 2.00.2 and I am using Zen Micro Media Explorer .00.
I loaded some tasks and calender events onto my player from outlook just to see if it worked. It did 8)
The problem I am having is removing the tasks and calender events.
If I delete them from outlook and resync my player (one way from PC to player), they remain on my player.
The official support knowledge base said that I sould be able to go to 'transfer data between PC and device' function of the Media Explorer program and then click on 'settings' icon, then 'clean up organizer'. Unfortunately, there is no such option in my settings.
Any ideas?

I would suggest upgrading your current version of Zen Micro Media Explorer. I have version 4.00.03. You can get it by clicking Support > Downloads on the main siteMessage Edited by njlx06 on 05-04-2005 :2 PM

Zen Micro organizing & editing fold

I have the 5 MB Zen micro & have done the firmware update (v2.
). After doing the upgrade my files have changed in the Media Organizer. All my music files are listed under the artist, BUT if the artist name is mispelled or different from another file, it creates a seperate folder.
So here are my questions:
) How do I edit the names of the folders to 'combine' the folders?
2) This is what I would like to do, but am not sure if I can. Is there a way that I can have my songs listed by the artist, so when I click on the artist name it opens up & all their songs are there? The way it is now is you click on the artists name, they may have multiple folders under that (albums I'm assuming) & you have to click it again to get to the song. It's just a pain in the butt.
Thanks for any help!!

. I'm not sure. Have you tried viewing in Windows Explorer to see if you can edit there? Have you tried dragging and dropping the tracks in the wrong folders to the right folders?
2. Again try dragging and dropping. The structure you have now is probably based on the folders you dragged to the player, or maybe on what MediaSource was set to when you copied.

Deleting Tracks Through Zen Micro Organi

I used Zen Micro Organizer to delete duplicate tracks from the player but although the tracks were deleted in the organizer, they remain on the Zen Micro player. I tried using the synch feature but it says there are no tracks to transfer. Deleting tracks one-by-one on the player itself is tedious. How can I mark and delete the duplicate tracks off the player using Zen Micro Organizer?

Organizing Zen Micro

I purchased a Zen Micro (my first MP3 player) over the weekend. I've loaded quite a few files, and now I want to make sure I don't end up with a mess of thousands of tunes with no organization. Can someone give some guidance on how to manage playlists etc so that I can keep the Micro organized?
For example, I just ripped a 20 track CD using the MediaSource Organizer. All MP3's ended up under the album "Recordings" even though it knew the album name. I thought that it would have kept the album name on the Micro. Am I doing something wrong?
Is it a good idea to group each CD under its own playlist? Can I do this automatically as I rip my CDs?
Etc, etc...
In other words, I'm looking for advice on setting up a sensible structure on the Micro...
Thanks
Derek
ps.
I really struggled with the QuickTime 7 problem on install. I found the problem after about four hours with the debugger, but I sure wish I had found this forum and the sticky notification first

The key thing with the Micro as far as organisation goes is making sure the tracks have tag data. See my Nomad Primer for more on this.
An album shouldn't end up under recordings, so I'm not sure what happened there. Unless the album name got confused.
There's no need to rip CDs to a playlist. You have album and artist categories in the player's music library.

Organizing files in Zen Micro in MediaSource Organi

How do I organize my files in Creative MediaSource Organizer. I just upgraded my Zen Micro to "Plays for Sure" and it didn't show up in Creative Mediasource Organizer. I downloaded a fix for it, and now it shows up. Unfortunately, the files are listed in artist folders and not be tags by artist, genre, title, etc. I used to be able to drag and drop w/in the MediaSource organizer to change artist, album etc. Now I can't do that. Is there a way to organize files w/in MediaSource or Windows Media Player w/in the Zen Micro. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,[email protected]

<FONT face=Helv size=2>
Here is what you should do:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site. Make sure that you install this first before installing the rest of the MediaSource plugins listed below.
- (Depending on your product and firmware. There is no harm installing both if you are not sure.)
For non-PlaysForSure Zen Micro: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
For PlaysForSure Zen Micro: Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.
- If it is listed for your product: Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.

My Creative Zen Micro isn't recognized by my Creative Organi

I have a plain old, 6GB Zen Micro, which I got last Christmas.
In June, we sent it in for repair, and it has returned working fine.
Then we got a new computer. I downloaded the software and everything, and then I went ahead and connected it to the computer.
It was, and still is, recognized by my computer, as well as Windows Media Player and the Device Manager.
It isn't however, being recognized by my Creative Organizer.
Do I need to install something else? Is there something else I need to do?
Any help will be appreciated.
And I'm using Windows XP Home Edition, if it hel

Accommodations,
You need to download and install the respecti've plugin file too before the Organizer can detect the player. First determine the firmware version of your current Zen Micro player. If it's version .xx.xx, you need to get those Zen/Nomad Jukebox Plugin. If it's version 2.xx.xx, then get the PlaysForSure Devices Plugin file.

Zen Micro- Playlist-making/Organizing software

I need to download software that will let me organize the music on my Zen Micro and make/modify playlists. I thought Creative MediaSource was what I wanted, but that doesn't seem to interface with my Zen, only with music files on my computer. So, would somebody mind telling me what program I want?

I've used the Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update since I got my Zen Micro in '05.
I plug it in, let ZM Media Explorer load, then click Organize Music in Device and drag & drop files into the various Playlists.
You can create/rename Playlists easily by clicking on the Playlists menu tree, right click--> New Playlist, call it whatever you want and then organize from your Music Library.
Alternati'vely, you can go to the front page of ZM Media Explorer and click the Create a New Playlist in Device icon and go from there.

I can´t organize files on my Zen Micro using MP10 (and can I get rid of the firmwar

Hi, I installed the software that came with the Zen, the first one hung up my computer (forgot what it was called) but media explorer seemed to work ok. I was recommended to install the firmare so that I could transfer files using MP0. I did this (one of the earlier versions). I drag and drop my music folders into MP0 and sincronize but when they are transfered I get new folder created with new names onto my Zen (album names, song names etc.) everything disordered and many folders with only one song in them. I can't seem to figure out how to organize my music. Is there a way of reformatting the player, get rid of the firmware and make it work properly with media explorer again (since media explorer doesn?t recognise the player after the firmware instalation) Please help, the sound quality of this player is great but music transfers and organizing is giving me a big headache.

Ear-Rock,
You can download the version of Zen Micro Media Explorer that support the MTP firmware you have now on the player. The version is 4.00.8 and is available on the website. You can also change the firmware to the PDE one by downloading and installing the PDE firmware version .02.05.

Just Got a Refurb Zen Micro, Can Anyone Please Help - Clic

Hi all,
Just got a Zen Micro 6GB refurb today, when i first tried it (before hooking upto a PC) the clicker didnt work. I hooked it upto my PC and transferred some tracks, when i disconnected however my device started playing up.
When i turned the device on the screen glowed blue for 5 or so seconds, and then turned off. My first (panicked) thought was that the player was updating its firmware when i had unplugged it, although it didnt mention this anywhere.
What was interesting however was while the device was in this "blue screen" mode, when i scrolled up and down the clicker made a clicking sound, even though i couldnt see what i was scrolling because the screen was dead apart from the backlight. This proved that the clicker did physically work.
I reconnected to the PC in some vein hope of fixing it, and after a couple of on/off cycles it booted, and has worked fine since, however when i set the clicker on it still wont click.
I am interested as to if anyone has any ideas as to how to possibly fix my clicker problem. I know it will physically work as i've heard it click when my device crashed, i reckon a bad firmware flash has stopped my clicker clicking.
Can anyone recommend me a particular firmware please, everyone said to stay away from the latest PlaysForSure firmware on my old Zen Xtra, and apparently it bricked lots of devices, so im a bit apprehensi've about getting the latest release.
If anyone can help me fix my clicker please i would be most grateful as i dont want to send my little player back.
Thanks!

Zen Micro Downlo

My Micro works with Media Center 0 now. Need to download 3 programs from Creative to make it work with Napster and have easier organizing with Media Organizer. Question: when I download do I have the player connected? Do I hit RUN or SAVE when the dialog box appears. Last time I tried Creative Organizer did not see the connected Micro. Am I right that Firmware resides on the player and Software on my computer?

Ecamp,
Did you download the plugin as Jason recommended?

Upgrading Zen Micro Firmwa

if I upgrade the Zen Micro to the NEWEST available firmware...will I still be able to use Zen Micro Media Explorer? I love the program..
the new firmware uses WMP, am I right? anyone use WMP as the main software for putting songs on your player, etc. Is it better?

There is a latest MTP firmware and a latest non-MTP firmware. Note that for MTP firmware, if you view the tracks in your Zen Micro on the PC, you will see that the track organization is by folders, just like the way files are organized in your PC. For non-MTP firmware, you will see that the track organization is by library.
There is also a MTP version of the latest Zen Micro Media Explorer and a MTP version oif the latest Creative MediaSource for download.

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.

<SPAN class=postbody>this is a post i initially made on nomadness.. however, here it goes.
<SPAN class=postbody>
<SPAN class=postbody>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.
<SPAN class=postbody>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'. <SPAN class=postbody>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?

Zen Micro / Rhapsody To-Go - problems after upgra

I am using my new Zen Micro 6GB with my Rhapsody To-Go subscription. After performing all the reccomended firmware and DRM upgrades, I still have these problems below, which I already reported the issues to the Real people.
While I'm waiting for their responses, does anyone else have the same issues? Any other suggested solutions?
TRANSFER:
The Rhapsody software refuses to transfer certain tracks that are supposed to be compatible with the To-Go service. The transfer fails and gives me an "unsupported media type" error.</LI>
Solution: Try using Real Player to transfer these tracks. It works for me.</LI>
DELETE:
I cannot always use the Rhapsody or Real Player software to delete tracks off of the Zen Micro player (It does work sometimes).</LI>
Solution: Use the Creative Media Organizer (CMO) to delete them.</LI>
SYNC:
Using the Rhapsody software to Sync in "Overwrite" mode does not delete tracks I removed from playlists. </LI>
Solution: Use CMO to delete tracks, restart Rhapsody, then sync</LI>
LIBRARY CHAOS IN CMO:
Tracks transfered with Rhapsody are in artist folders, but split between two master "Music" folders</LI>
Tracks transfered with Real Player are listed only as individual tracks, not in artist folders</LI>
Solution: ? I'm afraid that re-organizing tracks will cause more problems within Rhapsody</LI>
PLAYLISTS IN CMO:
Rhapsody playlists are shown on the Zen Micro, but cannot be seen/edited within CMO.</LI>
Solution: ?</LI>
I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Hi -- Actually - wasn't aware of that - but I had started Napster just to see what happened - and nothing.
That being said - I e-mailed help desk and got another series of steps to get the device to be recognized. Different drivers to download, etc.
After a few more hours of playing with it - I was able to reconnect and when I reconnected to Napster - the transfer errors were gone.
I'm not posting the steps only because I'm not exactly sure what caused it to stop being recognized in the first place and then what caused it to start transferring again. Personally -- I think it was when I threatened to replace it with an IPOD
Just really glad to have it back!! Thanks all for your assistnce.

In theory yes. I don't know how well the Micro works with tunes from different stores on it, but I've yet to hear that people have had problems.

You can of course create playlists with MediaSource and ZMME, but you must get the updated versions for the v2 firmware from Nomadworld.com downloads.

No. It's been a longstanding wishlist item.
There's a small square of some kind in the upper right corner of my screen with a "" in it. What is this?
It's a play mode. There are various play modes that you can use, so that the queue does different things e.g. play randomly. The one you have selected is Repeat Track. To change the play mode from the queue press the menu button (bottom right-hand corner) then scroll down to play mode, select it and change.
