Zen Micro to PC transf

Is this possible? I cant find a program to do it with, thing is I had a HDD failure and I really really dont feel like ripping 800+ songs back onto the HDD.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I kind of found the solution to my problem... I purchased a USB2.0 card for this computer since it's such a dinosaur and only had USB.. While it was connected with ., it worked fine. Then I tried the 2.0 and it worked..then it started to freeze on 2.0. For the life of me, I couldn't figure it out until I just went back to see if it'll work on .. Of course, this was after I reformatted the player and reinstalled the firmware on another PC. So apparently, this USB2.0 card is either junk or the player has problems with USB2.0.
On a side note: The USB2.0 card does work with other devices, such as my mouse and camera.
Now I just gotta figure out which it is.. the junk card or player.

Zen Micro won't transfer files, Creative are not helping

I have had my Zen Micro since early January (bought from Amazon.co.uk) and it has been fine until a couple of weeks ago. One day I plugged it into the computer to put some more music on there and it came up with the dreaded message "Player is not connected". Since then, every time I try to transfer files across, it will come up with this same message. Once I managed to get one song across, then got the message, but now it won't let me transfer at all.
I have contacted Creative Support, and explained what happens. I have tried everything they suggest (different USB cable, uninstall/re-install software, download new 4.00.8 driver, disable anti-virus software, different PC, disk clean-up, etc.) yet it still does not want to work! I keep replying to Support telling them this, but the person at the other end is really not helping the situation at all. So far he has told me to do all of the above THREE times, even after I've told him very clearly that they don't make a difference. I'm now convinced I will never get this player sorted out.
Why won't they issue me with an RMA? Surely we've run out of options by now? I am getting extremely fed up with the whole thing, and right now I don't even feel like replying again because I know I won't get any help
P.S. All this has been tried on both WinME and XP.

Claire does this mean you have tried it on different machines?
Qoute "P.S. All this has been tried on both WinME and XP"
If so than it may be a hardware problem.
Get some ad-aware programs as something maybe restricting you use of the USB ports. AdawareSE is very good.
Right click on my computer on the desk top, goto properties and click the Hardware tab
<IMG src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/johnnyjudge/Slide.jpg">
Click on Device Manager,
Scroll down and click on Uni'veral Serial Bus Controllers, of course with your Micro plugged in look for it. Right click the on the device and goto properties, and see does it denote the devcie is wotrking properly and are there any drivers assigned to it. If so what them drivers are.

Zen Micro. Song transfer prob

Okay this happened to me twice first time I thought it was a fluke but since its happened twice I thought I'd report it / see if anyone else has seen it.
My micro is pretty full. I have a couple very big audio book files like 400 meg each.
After I finish a track I delete it an put on the next track. When doing the transfer it looks like everything worked fine. But when I go to listen to my new audio book it seems like it never transfered the new file over. It puts me at a random place in some music or the previous book I deleted. The track is around 7 hours long and if I move around the track it sometimes switches to other stuff I deleted.
So it appears it reserved a spot on the disk for my new track but it never wrote over the old stuff.
version .0.03
Troy

Well I did have about 600 meg free and the book was 450 meg or so. So I had plenty of disk space. When I got home I deleted the "new" track and reloaded it...
No problem this time. It just seems weird this would happen and not give me any errors.
As far as updating goes I hate windows media player and will not ever use it. It seems like all of the updates either force you to use windows media player or the just change some of the graphics on the screen. Am I missing something?

Zen micro photo song transfer time pl

ok how long would a song take to transfer to the zmp using usb .
Message Edited by kickenchicken on 07-04-2006 05:00 PM

It all depends on how big the file is. Asuming it's around 4 MB it should take about 0 seconds for that one song. I have USB . and sometimes it can be slow. Wish I had USB 2.0

Zen Micro - transfer lock ups with latest firmwa

I've been trying to transfer mp3 files to my firmware upgraded Zen Micro and find that the transfer slows down and then locks the player after 30-40 files have successfully copied. This happens with ..0 and 2.2.02 firmwares.
The player will then remain in a 'acti've' docked state (black arrows) until the battery is removed. After this lock up tags on the mp3 files are messed up and display Chinese looking characters in the Details View.
This happens on two different computers with USB2.0, one Intel based and the other AMD.
Two questions - anyone know if this is a known issue being worked on for an imminent firmware update? And secondly - is the problem aggravated (or even created) because I am trying to copy files over from a directory tree (mp3's sorted into artist/album/ folders) rather than one flat folder with all mp3s in it (ie. in one single folder).

I'd try transferring fewer files at a time and see if that works.
You might be on to something with copying from a directory tree too. See if transferring the files in smaller groups from one folder helps out.
You can always organize the artists/albums later in Zen Micro Media Explorer or Creative MediaSource.

How to transfer all music in my Zen Micro to either my PC or another mp3 player....help ple

i have a creative micro zen with about 000 handpicked and some very hard to find songs on it...i don't really have trouble with the player itself, just the software and the continous problems seems like everyone is having with something... my question is this..........if i wanted to get another mp3 player as a backup in case this one crashes, then what does everyone think about one of the smaller ipods? what about their software and such? and, if i do decide to get an ipod, then how would i transfer all these 000 mp3 songs onto the new ipod? would there be an issue with the fact that they are not bought from itunes?? would it not be safe to do that? and if it is okay to do that,? how would i transfer the songs back onto my PC, as i have tried everything suggested on this board recently in trying to do that using Mediasource and it just won't work even after downloading all new plugins etc. if someone has an idea about this, please let me know step by step if possible about how i can get these songs that are valuable to me from my zen micro, to my computer, and then onto another mp3 and if ipod (nano for instance) is a wise choice or if there is another player in the same category that others have found they have waaaay less problems with and better support/service with it's?any help anyone gives would be greatly appreciated!? i appreciate all the suggestions to my other questions as well!?thanks,barb

for a new mp3 player, i would get this one, its awesome (and the one i would get if i had a choice instead of my microphoto that broke)... here's a link
http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_YP_T9_4GB_black/4505-6499_7-3208083.html the 4gb one is $80, the 2gb one is $30... so thats cheaper than an ipod, and much better features and stuff

Can I transfer Music from One Zen Micro to another Zen Mic

Hello,
I've had my Zen Micro (Green) for 3 weeks now and now my girlfriend wants one a Zen Micro too, which she'll get in the next few days. I was wondering if there's any way to transfer mp3s from my Zen Micro to hers?
I was thinking if I plugged 2 Zen Micros into my PC and then load up the Nm=oman Player and just drag the songs from one Zen Micro to another......will that work. Or is it best to just drat the songs onto the PC and then transfer them onto my Girlfriend's Zen?

I would imagine you can do that .... although you may need the latest firmware 2.xxxxx which would mean you have to use WMP 0 ...
I should wait until she gets hers then plug it into your PC and see if it recognises it .... if it does you have no worries .. if not post again and everyone will do there best to help out

I can recharge my Zen Micro VIA USB, but I cant transfer songs....

Hello,
Using the USB Port on my PC, I can successfully recharge my Zen Micro. But for some reason, I cant transfer music to it. Whenever I go to the "Zen Micro Media Explorer", I always get an explorer error for some reason, and it says "Zen Micro Not Connected"
I try other programs, such as WindowsMedia Player, real player, and NOTMAD Explorer, and they cant connect to the Zen Micro either (player not connected error)
Does anyboy know why? And can anybody please help.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the input.
I've Solved the problem!
I called up Creative Tech Support, and they said to reinstall the software, which I did. Now it works perfectly. Thanks for all the support though. I think Creative's tech support is good, not as bad as people claim it to be.

I can't transfer my music from my zen micro to my

I have a little problem when I try to transfer my music from the zen micro to my pc with zen media explorer I have an error ,I have the same thing using creative media source organizer.the error is always the same "transfer error" its says that my file is working or its occuped and it can't transfer it. That is so strange its that I can transfer misic from my pc to my zen micro but not the inverse.Help !!!!!!

My personal view is the PC Music Library is a waste of time. It's an intermediate step between transferring tracks to the player, and I don't use any features within it. However your mileage may vary.
You can import tracks into the MediaSource PC Music Library one of two ways (at least). . Have a view with the files/folders on one side, and then the PC Music Library on the other, and simply use the transfer arrow to put the tracks into it (basically the tracks won't be copied, the links to them are simply added to the library database). 2. Use the Import button, on the toolbar. I believe this prompts for a directory with your files in, and it will then scan through the files.
Not sure if this was mentioned before, but before doing any of this make sure you install the latest drivers, MediaSource, and MediaSource plugin from Nomadworld.com downloads.

Zen Micro- Cannot Transfer Duplicate Fi

I got a Creative Zen Micro 6GB mp3 player for Christmas, and am having a little bit of trouble with transferring some songs. It won't let you put 2 songs with the same name on! For example, I want to put Green Day's Dookie on it, along with Green Day Interenational Superhits. But since the Superhits collection has songs from Dookie, an error window comes up saying that "there is already a file with the same name, do you want to skip tranferring this file or replace it's". Neither! I want it on twice on both albums! Yes, I can rename it so it dosen't do this, but I just want it on twice!I also have the same problem when 2 bands have the same name for a song (Green Day: In The End, Linkin Park: In The End). They are 2 completely different files, and I cannot put both on!Does anyone know what to do?

You can easily transfer a duplicate song to the Micro if you remove Zen Media Explorer and just use the standard Windows Explorer interface as that does not have any checks and duplicates can go on and off easily.
But I have a feeling its a tagging issue. It varies by programs, but some check the ID Tags as well as the filename, so yes change the filename of the songs, if it still wont go then try the song tags... Still not working? Then use the standard Windows Explorer interface to transfer. You dont need to remove Zen Media Explorer, at least I dont think so... Access your player via Control Panel -> Portable Media Devices. Hopefully it wont open up the Zen Media Explorer interface....
This would work only if you are running the PlaysForSure firmware.Message Edited by DM on 2-26-2005 02:5 AM

Is it possible to transfer music from zen micro to pc

Hi,I own a zen micro 5gb mp3 player. I recently had to reinstall windows. Instead of backing up my music of cd's or dvd's i decided i could just transfer my music from my mp3 back to my computer later. That doesnt seem to be possible. It says "access to file denied" when i try to transfer music from my zen micro to my pc.So basically i need to no how to transfer music from my device to my pc (if it is even possible...)Thanks

As to the removable disk: are you sure you have enough space left to make a partition of that kind? That could explain it not working.
I don't know what firmware you use, but if you use the newest .x or 2.x, there is something more you can try:
these firmware should enable you to use the normal Windows Explorer to d&d files from the ZM to the PC and vice-versa. Works like a charm for me. You'll need the Creative software installed for that, but it might be worth a chance. Search for a toilet-like icon, that is supposed to look like an old Creative Jukebox, in the top level of the Windows Explorer shortly after you connect the ZM (and have the newest firmware on).
Cheers,
Jan.

Creative zen micro transfer prob

When using Napster to transfer songs to my zen micro mp3 player the following happens.
License storgae is not working.Contact microsoft product support.
When I hit click here for more information nothing happens.
It has worked previously without any problems! Can anybody help??

Here is a list of things to check:
) Confirm you have Windows Media Player 0 installed on your XP SP or later system.
2) Confirm your Zen Micro has the latest 2.x firmware (2..02 Beta or later). The .x firmware does not support N2G. Download the 2..02 Beta firmware from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads
3) Confirm KB8922 "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players" is installed on your XP SP or later system with WMP 0. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;8922 for details.
4) Confirm your Zen Micro's system time is synched to the system time of your computer.
5) Confirm XP and the Napster client recognize your Zen Micro is connected. It should display under the "Portable Device" object in the "Library" window of the Napster client. The Zen Micro Display should read "Docked". See if you can transfer files using WMP 0. Confirm the Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer version .00. ( http://us.creative.com/support/downloads ) can access your Zen Micro. Can it transfer tracks to the device?
6) Confirm your firewall is not interfering with the connection to Napster or to the internet for current date and time. Consider disabling firewall, Antivirus, and Spyware Scanners as a diagnostic step to troubleshoot your transfer issue.
7) Consider reinstalling Windows Media Player 0 and KB8922.
8) Check the USB cable connection. Determine the USB chipset on your system. There are forum threads where users resolved transfer problems by installing a new USB Adapter with a different chipset or determined the problem was the USB cable. You can also troubleshoot by attempting the transfer on another computer (if available).

Zen Micro songs transfer to comput

can you do this with a zen micro 6 gig? How do you do it's Thanks.

- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

Real Player Zen Micro Transfer Quest

I have some files I purchased a number of years ago via Real Player. They have an .rax extension and when I try and transfer them to the Micro I get an incompatable format message. I was just wondering if anybody knows a way to transfer these files to the Micro. Thanks for any help.

It was a decent player but the display on the remote drove me crazy and I was looking for something a little smaller. Anyways I must say that I?m disappointed with the Creative software. I find it very clunky. I had written syncing software for the IAudio , unfortunately the Zen Micro uses a proprietary driver that it uses to recognize the player. I?m guessing I will be able to use the SDK from Windows Media Player 0 to recognize the device but what a pain. It should just be recognized as a USB storage device. Anyways my real problem is that the transfer speed seems very slow to me. I?ve tried Windows Media Player, Creative MediaSource Organizer, and the Zen Explorer and all of them have disappointing speeds. Has anyone else noticed this? I?m running with firmware .02.05.
The transfer speeds should be much faster if you use one of the MTP firmwares (2.xx). Also, are you using USB 2.0?
