Zen Micro tracks are slipping and skipping to next track rando

Tracks are slipping and occasionally move onto another track randomly. Creative suggest system restore and downloading firmware. Has anyone had this problem and should I restore and download? I'm novice to MP3 blurb. Thanks.

OK, just for you (and to satisfy my own curiousity), I ripped?two tracks using?the WMA 9. codec and Easy CD-DA Extractor?(with metadata enabled of course) at 64 kbit/s to the PC. I copied it using MediaSource 3.0.09 to my Zen Micro (.02.05). The track data including track number is still there.

Zen Micro Replacements-Are they New or Refurbis

I've only had my Zen Micro for 4 weeks and fortunately I haven't had any problems. I dread the day I awake to the feared headphone jack problem.
My question is if you have to RMA your Micro to Creative for a replacement due to the headphone jack (or other problem covered under warranty) will you get a brand new Micro or a refurbished one? I really hope that you would get a new one, especially since (in most cases) the Micro you sent back is less than 90 days old.
Any feedback from people who have sent their Micros back to Creative would be appreciated.Message Edited by ewiz06 on 03-22-2005 03:52 PM

ewiz06, you got me thinking on this one... You know? I think I would rather get a refurbished one, instead of a new one.
At least they tested it before sending it to me, wich means it's more likely to work properly when I get it.
Who knows? Maybe they even glued the headphone jack with superglue
you're forgetting two things:
) Every Micro is supposed to be tested before leaving the factory. Including new ones. If they did bad testing when it left the first time, no reason for them to do good testing the second time around. It probably goes through the exact same testing process.
2) While a refurbished product may be working perfectly, some or all of the parts may be slightly or considerably "older" than a new product. A manufacturer doesn't expect a product to li've forever, it's accepted that every part has a certain lifespan (that's why you don't get a lifetime warranty). By accepting a refurbished product you are actually taking a product that is, on average at least, closer to a natural "death."
These are minor points but important ones nonetheless.

Every time i play a song in my i-tune 10.6, about up to half way mark, i-tune will automatically skip to the next track and playing it (next track) at the same time as the current track.

I want to listen to a 20 minute hypnosis on itunes on my ipad before sleep, and stop the next track playing because it then wakes me up. Can you help?

Hi jenwood2!
It seems like the best way to do this would be to make a playlist from just the one song that you want listen to while falling asleep. Our iPad User Guide explains exactly how to do this:
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
And I have echoed the relevant information here:
Create a playlist: View Playlists, tap New near the top of the screen, then enter and save a name. Select songs and videos to include, then tap Done.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I downloaded the Avatar soundtrack, but certain songs play halfway then just cut, and play the next track...how can I get a refund or re-download?

I downloaded the Avatar soundtrack and in the downloads sections, all music downloaded to complete, yes more than half the tracks play halfway then just cut out and play the next track...it's awful...how can I resolve this??

I THINK I have solved the problem. Can't be 100% because I don't want to try a restore. At least the Apple home page lites up correctly with quicktime now. It hadn't in the past.
Thank you for your assistance. - LRB

Zen Micro: I'm new and need some h

I got my creative zen micro a few weeks ago and I have some questions.
I'm using Plays For Sure from MSN. Now that I've downloaded that do I always have to use it's Can I subscribe to other services like Rhapsody?
Is there any help for organizing my music? I try to make a new playlist and it shows up on the computer and says it's syncd but I can't find it on my micro.
I have some workout selections with voiceovers like cardio coach and some motivational speeches. Is there a way to isolate those so I can still use the shuffle feature and dj type features without those getting into the mix?
There's a small square of some kind in the upper right corner of my screen with a "" in it. What is this?
This is so confusing for me.

I'm using Plays For Sure from MSN. Now that I've downloaded that do I always have to use it's Can I subscribe to other services like Rhapsody?
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.
Is there any help for organizing my music? I try to make a new playlist and it shows up on the computer and says it's syncd but I can't find it on my micro.
This is the only thread I know about playlists with WMP0 and the v2 firmware. Have a look and see if it hel
ps.
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.

Hi, I have been trying to run my zen on my mac for the past few days now. I am using os9..At first i tryed to just insert the player into my mac and it came up with a untitled folder with the files in the folder. (zen is in detachable disk mode) i can browse the different folders ect but when i try to transfer something to or from the zen my mac freezes.

ZEN micro - music library (artist and alb

Hi,
I just got the Micro for xmas and installed the software. I now have two issues. After converting all my iTunes songs into mp3s, the artist and album won't show up. I've right clicked my Folders tab to include the artist and album and it lists on my Details section for view but not in Creative Library...any suggestions?
I have hundreds of songs and going through each and everyone just to add artist and album will take forever.
Second and more importantly: My micro starts up and I'm able to hear the clicks in the touchpad but it won't do anything. It shows 3 demo songs but they won't even play. I connect the USB to the micro and it shows "NEW HArdware detected" then a few minutes later it says, "device not connected" - i'm gonna see if the store i bought it from has any suggestions but figured I would try here as well. Thanks!

. Chances are the converted songs don't have tag data. Use a tagging program to check, and add the required data. There's no real shortcut I'm afraid but a mass tagging program (which most are) should make easier work of it.
2. Sounds odd and like the player is faulty. Can you access the Rescue Mode to see if you can run a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

Zen micro file transfer error and playing mista

My Zen Micro 5GB had some problems wih the sound:sometimes, listening to a song, I heard (more orless) a second of another song but after that isreturned to the selected one. This is not the only problem: sometimes, whentransferring data between a PC and the player'sstorage dri've (2GB) it stops after a while.When transferring music from the player to the PCusing Music Organizer the PC receives some musicbut after a while it stops and displays amessage 'Cannot transfer file: file not found';after this, the player remains 'busy' also if youclose all the programs opened. I tried to fix this in many ways I installed the version 2.x firmware, so Icould re-install the latest .x version.2) I learned how to access the recovery functionsand I tried all of themBut after all this, it continues to display theerror message and I think sometimes it could stopplaying the song I'm listenig to and play asecond of another one.

all the songs are mp3 format
the transfer window pops up, the status will say writing for about 5sec. then the error comes up and says unable to create file - restart player and try again.
but then the player has the acti've docked logo on, which you aren't supposed to unplug from the computer when that's on, but it will not go off. I've left it for hours and ended up unplugging it anyway. So I've restarted it, pulled the batter and retried that a few times too.
Any ideas?
thanks for your help

Various problems with Zen Micro, but getting smaller and small

Last night I turned on my Zen Micro and heard Led Zeppelin's All of my Love for about 4 seconds before the micro froze and started buzzing, reminding me of my Nintendo when the cartridge was dirty. So I tried restarting it several times and it continued with the same. I left it for the night, since I was at someone else's house and had not installed the new firmware; I needed to be at my laptop to mess around with it. In the morning, I looked up some stuff and found out how to access the recovery mode, which I did. I did all of the options, the last one being to format the hard dri've. I had already erased the firmware, but I formatted the hard dri've after I plugged it into my USB port and saw that it had been corrupted anyways and it was completely empty. Then, seeing as everything was gone anyways, I took the opportunity to download the firmware updates and install them, or at least attempt to. I got a message saying the battery level was too low, and to charge it before installing the firmware. I took out the battery and it ran on main power while I installed the first firmware. Then, I put the battery back in and installed the second firmware (newest) and it gave me the same error message about the level being too low. I took out the battery again, but this time it just turned off. I didn't quite understand so I just went to sleep and left it charging. I woke up and was able to install the firmware. Then I went to Windows Media and synced my library to the Micro. Bad idea. I don't know if it's the same with any of you, but I don't exactly love all the songs in my music library. It took every audio file I have on my computer and put it on the Micro. So I figured I'd just open MediaSource and do the whole editing thing I did before it got busted. That doesn't work because of course the music under Creative Zen Micro is different from the music under PC Music Library which, until today, were identical. Now. All I want to know is how I can look at the music inside my Micro in the same way I would if it were in my PC Music Library, where I have a scroll bar on the side with all the artists and albums and a list of tracks next to it. I need this because instead of everything being free and looking the same way it would in my downloads folder, everything is now in folders by artist name and it will take me forever to figure out which songs I do and do not want. Still, at least I've got it working now.

It shouldn't be, assuming you synced via WMP the contents of the PC Music Library. Ultimately the contents of the PC Music Library is irrelevant though as don't you want to edit the contents of the player? I'm guessing you're using the v2 firmware which makes this a little harder...

You can't. That's the problem with the v2 firmware. You might want to go back to the . firmware. For the differences in the firmware versions look at the FAQ post.
