Zen Micro software request

I've lost the original install disc for a regular 4 Gb Micro and can't find the needed dowload on the Creative site. I searched the forum and the once hosted links are no longer there. Anyone have this? I can't add any music or playlists without it. Thx.

Re: Zen Micro software requestFWell lucky you The one thing you will need to do with the XP computer is to rollback WMP to WMP0. Instructions for that are?here? after you have done that download to your desktop this here? firmware & install it to the Micro be sure that the players battery has been fully charged before you you update the firmware. Also the update will erase all music files from the player so back them up on the XP computer if you don't have copies of them. You will then be able to use your Micro on the Vista computer with just WMP no additional software needed.

I have renamed the thread so the title is more descripti've (and not flaming).
Can you be more specific, with regards to your question? Are they music tracks, and you want them sorted in order? If they have the same album name they will be listed together, just make sure the song number is in the ID3 tag aswell.

Windows Vista vs Zen Micro: Software Problems

Hey guys,
Looking for a little help and this seems to be the right place to get, lots of helpful people!I have a 3 year old Zen Micro, 4/5Gb I think and it worked fine with my old Dell laptop which ran XP, I used to drag and drop mpg files easily with the bundled software, all was well. Back in January the Dell laptop reached the end of it's life and I layed my hands on a new Sony Vaio laptop, running the all singing, all dancing brand new shiney Windows Vista. For whatever reason, I had no need for the MP3 player for most of this this summer and now I've come to need it again and it obviously needs updating (all my music is 6 months out of date) and it seems I've lost the original software disc, bummer. So I downloaded the ZenCast Organiser & Sync software off the Creative site as it said it ran withVista and plug in the Micro and .........nothing.
The Sync manager thing just says that there's no player attatched and it won't hook up. Am I missing something? Do I need another driver for it'sor something I've had a look through this site and all. I seem to be able to find is what I've already downloaded. Help!

ow stupid is this though! Why aren't Creative releasing any updates to allow older players to work on new machines?!
Well they are releasing updates, the trouble is you need the old OS to apply them. I suspect there's technical reasons for updates not working on newer OS's. After all Creative couldn't anticipate Vista problems when making older devices (Vista wouldn't have been on hand to test at the time).
BTW Firmware upgrades can be found here (UK version)
or here. (US)

Autoplay error. Please help- my(Zen Micro) software won't lo

I have a 5GB Zen Micro and when I try to install my software I get the "Utility for Windows AutoPlay screen has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message.
I'm running XP and have updated Quicktime (that did the trick last time).
Can anyone help? I'm sorry, I did try to go through the FAQ but I didn't see anything and I'm trying to feed my kid and pack for a trip.
Thanks!

I don't think so but I can't check right now-- I'm on a different computer.
I had the software installed and had to delete it to make space for something. Now I wish I'd never touched it!

Creative Zen Micro Software Iss

I've had my Creative Zen Micro for almost a year now, and I installed the software on my computer. But a couple weeks ago, my family bought a new computer. I've lost the cd to install the zen organizer and I was wondering what I could do?
Am I out of luck? Or is there software I can download to get it on the new computer.
You can send comments to [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
Thanks so much.

Problem with Creative Zen Micro software detecting certain C

Hi,
I hope someone can help me. I recently purchased a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player. So far, I have very few complaints, apart from the fact that while travelling on the bus, it won't seem to detect any radio stations.
The problem re: the software though is that it will only detect the last track on three of my CD's. None of these CD's are damaged in any way, but all are from the same record label. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how I might be able to transfer these albums onto my player?
Thanks a lot.

My zen micro problem:
Brief Problem description :.When I put a battery in the Zen micro, it automaticly turn on andshow "hardware problem" and freezed.2. If I connect to power adapter, i it automaticly turn on and show"hardware problem" and freezed.3. If I connect to my computer via usb cable, my computer can not findthe player and the player do not turn on even I switch on. As long asI put the battery in it, it automaticly turn on and show "hardwareproblem" and freezed. My computer still can not find it. I'm sure thecomputer and usb cable is working because all of my other device isworking ( include mouse, keyboard, logitech web camera, canon digitalcamera, samsung 52MB mp3). I try to take off all of theother usb equipements and the zen micro still not work. I can not rewrite the firmware because the zen micro freezed at"hardware problem" and my computer can not find it.
Help!!!!!!

Zen Micro Software/Driver Confli

Does anyone know if there are any known software that will conflict with the drivers of the Zen Micro to make it not be recognized.
I know its not a USB issue, as the player will say its docked, then flash back to the music menu screen. I know the player is not faulty, as its functions all work when not plugged in. I've been able to plug the Micro in once in awhile and it was recognized and Media Explorer recognized it, so that removes hardware issues, which leads me to believe, software conflicts.

Try using MSCONFIG to reboot in a diagnostic startup. This should only load the basic software.

Zen Micro Software Requi

I lost my software cd, I realize that you can download the files from the downloads section of the website. Which exact files should I donwload and in what order do I install them? I need specifics.

fizban9: Don't forget the drivers as well.
Basically you want to install the drivers first, currently <EM>Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03</EM>.
Then you want to install MediaSource, but you'll need to connect your player first as MediaSource will want it as part of the install. For MediaSource the latest version is <EM>Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2</EM>. Once that's installed you'll also need the plugin, to make sure the PC can see your player, <EM>Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource</EM>.
As mentioned, if you want the CD burning facilities you need <EM>Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8.</EM> I'm not sure if this works without a previous install, but Micromouse should be able to confirm this.
If you are using the v2 MTP firmware you also need this update, <EM>Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)</EM>.
If you want Zen Micro Media Explorer then you need to grab the <EM>Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update</EM>.
So in summary:
. Drivers - <EM>Creative Zen and Jukebox Driver Upgrade version .30.03</EM>
2. MediaSource - <EM>Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2, Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource, Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 </EM>and <EM>Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) </EM>if you have the v2 firmware.
3. ZMME - <EM>Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update</EM>

Zen micro software probl

Hi I just bought a zen micro the other day I hooked it up to my PC and installed the software and it worked fine the I went to the creative site and updated the firmware but didnt realise that it would stop me from being able to use creatives programs and only let me use windows media player I scanned through the forum and found this to be a common problem and the main solution was to down grade the firmware which I tried to do but when I tried it was coming up player not connected.
What do I do I hate media player can anyone help PLEASE

Hi tried all those options but managed to downgrade the firmware by deleting the drivers on the pc and the pluging the zen back in and as the pc started detecting it and installing it I ran the firmware program so it just started as the unit was fully installed as the creative zen and not what windows identifies it as and it worked hope that made sense because at that point i was just trying anything.
Thanks again for the help.
P.S dont know if any one knows but I bought my Zen out of the county and it has the wrong pin plug bit now I know it will work voltage wise but it would be nice to get the right pin adapter as they are interchangable.

Zen Micro Software Upgrade Confl

I posted in another thread, but thought this board supported BBCode, so my other post is rather jumbled.
I received my Zen Micro earlier this week, played with it a bit, and decided I would like to continue using it without MTP. But I would like the latest firmware.
My current firmware is .02.05, and I am using Zen Media Explorer 4.00.22 - these came on the CD with my Micro.
On the Creative support page, I selected the "Step by Step" Micro Firmware Upgrade Instructions, and continued answering "NO" to "Would you like to Use Online Subscription Services". The firmware version I want is clear enough: ..0. But the software is not clear at all. First I am taken to a page which says I need the following:
Zen Micro Media Explorer 4.00.8
Sync Manager 4.00.5
Jukebox Type Plugin 2.00.07
When I click on the download link for the above, I am taken to a download page for ZENM_PCAPP_LB_MTP_PDE.exe. This contains different versions than the previous page said that it would:
Zen Micro Media Explorer 4.00.27
Sync Manager 4.60.0
Import Wizard .60.2
CD Ripping Wizard .60.09
So which is correct? With all the firmware upgrade problems I see, I sure want to make sure ahead of time that I am downloading and installing the correct files.
A call yesterday to Creative got me less help than my 2 year old could provide!
Thanks.Message Edited by J-Mac on 0-09-2005 :39 PM

Choose Support > Downloads from your local Creative site's main menu, then follow the instructions. Or you can use the international site, http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/drivers/ . You're looking for the ..0 firmware download--not ZMME, MediaSource, or anything else.
What you were directed to is indeed the newest versions--but of Creative software, not the firmware itself. The tutorial you went through is more aimed at those upgrading to 2.x (MTP/Janus) firmware; they have to replace their ZMME, install a new MediaSource plug-in, and make other changes to their Creative software when upgrading.
Changing firmware from .02.05 to ..0 should not require new Creative software; indeed, it's one of the easiest firmware upgrades possible for the Micro. Most Micro upgrade issues you see here involve those who switch to 2.x firmware, but fail to download the required Creative software upgrades. You probably won't even lose your music files (which would happen if you chose 2.x firmware).

Problems with zen micro software

hey...i just bought a 5 mb zen micro today, and everything is perfect other than the fact that when i try to access the "Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer" the 'welcome' screen for that problem notifies me that my device cannot be detected, even though it is and i had just finished transfering music to it. i have a brand new $400 toshiba laptop...so i seriously doubt its anything with system limitations, my system goes beyond that recommended for the player...
I was wondering if anyone else has had this same problem...it can't even be resolved by removing the player from the usb port and re-connecting. any info will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I transferred music to it using Creative MediaSource Organizer. The icon shows in the task bar when connected my laptop, as I have to right click the device manager to unplug it from the usb port. Everything is great with the player, other than the fact that that one piece of software isn't recognizing its connection.
Firmware version .27.02, I think...if I'm looking at the right thing.
Thanks a lot. I'll try updating software, to see if that works.

Creative zen micro software d

yeah my creative zen micro came with the disk to install the thing onto the computer but its cracked and will not work. What should i do know how do i put songs onto it without having it installed on my computer, and can i get a new disk from creative? also a buddy of mine has a creative zen touch and if i used that disk and put it on my computer would it work with the zen micro? Thanks.

All the files you need that were on the disk can be found at http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/drivers/

Confused???Upgraded Zen Micro software or not?

Bought Zen Mirco 2 weeks ago for my daughter and brother but the battery life is short.So i told them not a problem coz we can download the new upgrade software from creative.But after reading the problem of still being the same should i download it or not?
What is the actual play time for the player?Thought it was 2hrs.
My eldest girl had the Neeon and the battery life is so much better than Mirco.
My mum is using Muvo Mirco N200 with AAA battery and is the BEST.

Well i am running all the latest software updates and my micro (currently about 4 months old or so) is working great.
battery life depends on loads of diferent factors in no particular order bitrate of songs, how long you fiddle around with it/if the backlight stays on for heaps it will waste battery how loud is the music what sort of music etc etc etc
If you are curretnly on a .xx.xx firmware and upgrade to a 2.xx.xx firmware you will need to reload all your songs.
Be very aware of that before upgrading.
Anyway to check whats available
Plug your micro into your PC
Connect to the internet
go to this URL :
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/su.asp
It will check all the available updates for your device
Hope this hel
ps.

Zen Micro software

Does anyone actually use the organizing software that the micro came with? The only thing that I use it for it to update the titles for my radio recordings. But other than that, I use either my WMP library or the library on Musicmatch.

In terms of tagging, I use a 3rd party tagger called MP3 Library. I organise my files on the PC by folder and filename, and don't use any library programs.

Zen Micro software downloa

I lost my o.g. disk that came with my micro... were can I get the origional software download, or do I have to order another disk? I tried a few of the downloads from Creative's software supp. page, but they are Firmware UPGRADES for the origional software that came with the micro.
Any help?

Well there's a delicate reminder at the top of the forum: <Please read the FAQ at the top of this board before starting a new thread.
<
The main problem here is the sheer volume of posts, so anything that can be done to reduce those is very helpful. I know what it's like though, if you have a problem with something the last thing you're interested in is (a) reading FAQs (b) people telling you to read FAQs. You just want an answer. We've all done it I'm sure (I know I have).
Of course the FAQ post here isn't the shortest thing in the world, but hopefully the contents and even a text search make lighter work of it.
I have to say having written several FAQs, I now begrudingly *always* check the FAQ for something I might have an issue or question with.
