Zen Micro..Repair or buy Vision

I have received the oh so common headphone jack problem and sent in an email for the repair cost and was wondering if it was really worth it to repair or if I should just go ahead and get a new Vision:M. Any thoughts would be nice.

When my micro got the headphone jack problem, I sent it in for an RMA and gave it to my sister. I then bought another player for myself. A win-win situation.
As SSR said, if you have the money, the Vision:M is a great player with excellent video and sound quality.

Some questions about Zen Micro before to buy

Hi all, i'm thinking to buy a Zen Micro mp3 player, so i'm searching for the Web reviews and news about the Micro to understand if it is good for me, because about 250 euro is an important money amuont to spend for me.
And now i have 2 doubts:
) I have read that firmware "ZenMicro_PCFW_L4_2_00_2_MTP.exe" can freeze the Micro or to make Windows Xp does not recognise it. Is it real?
2) Will Zen Micro support the "mp3 pro" format in future firmware updates? It think "mp3 pro" is fantastic and has much more audio quality than wma o normal mp3 in very less space on disk.
Thanks to all people who will answer to me, excuse me for my imperfect english_

Archigius,
I have installed the version 2 firmware on several players and have yet to have run into any problems. I know there are people who have experienced them, but I think that the probability of this is low. Here are some suggestions on making sure it will work:
) Disable your antivirus before running the update. This really applies to all dri've/firmware updates.
2) Turn off all of your player related software.
3) Make sure you have Windows Media Player 0 and SP or higher installed
This is all you should have to do to make sure things go well.

Thinking of buying Vision M to replace Zen Micro...have some queries on internal batte

After?wearing my 2-year-old zen micro into the ground, I've decided I want a Vision M. With my old micro, I'd?got through two batteries and was well on my way to a third - the battery just wasn't lasting long e nough?anymore. With the removable battery, I just replaced it, but I'm worried as to what will happen if I buy a Vision M. If the battery gets to the stage when it only lasts about 3-5 hours of play time, what would I do? I don't know if integrated batteries are more substancial than removable ones...if someone could let me know about this that'd be great. Thanks?in advance?=)

I had this same question and did some searching. I found the following site;http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archi'ves/2006/02/how-to-disassemble-the-creative-zen-vision-m.phpI'm guessing this would void the waranty, but I'm also guessing that by the time this was required the waranty wouldn't be a issue anymore anyway.

Does Zen micro power adapter charge Zen Vision

i tied the good old power adapter on my Vision M but it seemed to charge it...a little...but then it didn't do anything so i'm wondering if i just need to try it again or does it not work period...

i just happened to look in the instruction manual that came with the VM and it says absolutely nothing about NOT powering it through the AC adapter that was previously provided with the Zen Micro, not that i'm gonna lose sleep over it but why can't that power adapter charge the vision M?

Lower sound Zen Vision Plus than Zen Micro Pho

Hello! I have had Zen Micro/Zen Micro Photo in -2 years, before I this year switched to some Asono player, but the sound was low on that, and I wanted to go back to Creative for it's quality and sound.So I bought the new small Zen Vision Plus, very satisfied with video & other cool new functions! And to secure me a good sound, I bought big Creative headphones for 400 NOK, and they are very good with good sound and base(bass).But whenever I used the MP3 player, the sound dissapointed me, I also tried with the default earphones which followed, and the sound is still not as high as on Creative Zen Micro/Photo.My friend has Creative Zen Micro the old one, and we started the same song at the same time on both our players, and tried with the default headphones and the new headphones which I bought. And belei've you me the sound on his MP3 (Zen Micro) was much louder then on mine. So it is dissapointing to see that I am stuck with this MP3 with lower sound. I love the design & functions on Zen V Plus, and love the sound on Zen Micro. So I don't want to go back to Zen Micro. Is there some way to fix this? Some sort of upgrade? Or has it something to do that the MP3 in USA has lower sound and MP3 in Europe has higher, or the other way around? How do I check where my MP3 is from?I hope someone here has tips & tricks or solution to this problem, very annoying that my MP3 is "almost perfect"! I got to go play tennis now, waiting for a positi've reply, thanks a lot guys! Every single post is helpfull, thanks again!

well man all i can say is...bigger isnt always better. I have a Zen Micro Photo, its about a year old, i just have regular good ol target special headphones and its loud enough to blow an ear drum. Sometimes if i dont feel like?wearing headphones, i just turn it all the way up and set the headphones on my desk or something. sooooooooooooooooo i would just stick to the stuff you know is good...plus the micro photo is BAMF

Deciding on whether to buy Zen Micro or Sl

I'm not sure which to buy. I tried the both at a store the other day (only the Zen Mirco was charged) and definitely the Zen Micro is easier to hold and seems easier to use (reach the buttons easily without having to move my entire hand and such) Here are some likes/dislikes of mine about them. **The Zen Micro was not color, they did have that there but for the same price I could buy the Zen Sleek.
Zen Sleek
What I like about it...
20GB storage</LI>
Rechargeable battery</LI>
FM tuner with recording</LI>
Voice recorder</LI>
What I dislike about it...
Recharceable battery isn't manually replaceable like Micro so what happens when the battery doesn't seem to be getting maximum output? Do I send it in for another or do I have to go buy another Sleek?</LI>
I heard the touch pad is tough to use</LI>
Zen Micro
What I like about it...
Small and easy to use</LI>
FM tuner with recording</LI>
Voice recording</LI>
Rechargeable battery is easily replaceable</LI>
What I dislike about it...
Only 6GB of storage (that's still a lot of songs though... I don't have that many CD's/songs of mine...but I get most of them from my friends)</LI>
So, what do you guys have for players and which one would you recommend?

The other reason I'm not a big fan of the Zen Micro Photo is that color screen is harder to see, even in the store I had some trouble reading some of the words. I also don't have any photos to put onto it.
Oh, another thing that I kinda didn't like about the Zen Micro (and the same would probably apply to the Sleek as well if it was charged) was when I tried scrolling up and then down quickly, the player interpreted it as me tapping the touch pad to select a menu or option. Although I'm sure it's because it was my first time using the touch pad so I wasn't exactly sure how sensiti've it was. After some practice I should get used to it.

Should I wait to buy ZEN Micro Ph

I am getting a part-time job soon and want to buy the ZEN Micro, but the ZEN Micro Photo is coming out in Summer 2005, and that looks good, so should I get the ZEN Micro or wait for the Colour screen version?
P.S I had my Muvo TX 256MB for 3 weeks and is great, though I should have waited and got the 52MB version it is only 70GBP at eBuyer now.

I was in the same situation as you, wanting a Zen Micro but wondered if I should wait till the Zen Micro Photo came out. I decided that I didn't need the colour screen to show people photos and just wanted a small portable music player so I went with a Black Zen Micro and I am very happy that I did

Where to Buy Zen Micro and get all the goodi

Hi everyone. I have a MuVoN200 and I love it to death, but I am ready to move on to something bigger. I have had no problems with Creative and I would like to get a Zen Micro.
I've been reading on the internet how some people get different things in their box! Some have a belt clip/stand thing and some don't. I would, of course, like to get the most acessories for my money, so where should I buy mine to get all of the acessories?
I'm considering Target since I have a Target card . . . but Walmart is having a sale on them right now. I saw them in Best Buy, but the box was pretty small, not the tall one. Any input would be appreciated!!

I just received my Zen Micro from bhphotovideo.com for $70 with all the extras (charger, stand):
http://tinyurl.com/8qcro
However, it came in a box (rumored to be old, prone to headphone jack problem), not plastic packaging. And the firmware installed was only .0.03. This also makes me feel it might not be the newest model with the rumored fix for the headphone jack problem, even though it's from a high-volume reseller. For me, I'll just pay $40 for the extra warranty to balance my risk. Maybe ask Creative where you can buy a newer, headphone-jack-secure Micro with all the trimmings?

Will Zen Micro Charger work with Zen Vision

Hi,
I'm wondering if the charger (AC Charger that is)i use to charge my Zen Micro 5GB will charge my Zen Vision:M ?
The Voltage is the same - 5Volts
Any suggestions?

The USB charger does fit the USB Adapter bit on the Vision:M.
Are they different polarities or something?
I would have plugged it in(connected to the mains) If i wasn't in fear of breaking my 2 day old Vision.
