Zen micro travel d

does anybody own the travel dock for the zen micro or zen micro photo
do you like it i am thinking about getting one but have heard somethings
about how they don't sound very good.
Please reply if you have one i want to know what you think

The 20gb is slightly bigger so I doubt it will fit, unless the Micro's dock is made slightly bigger but fits both in.

Travel Dock Zen Micro volumn issue

I just got the Travel Dock and I put my Zen Micro in but it isn't very loud.
I have the volumn on the docking station all the way up and the volumn on the Micro all the way up, but it isn't very loud. Any suggestions?

I also have the same issue. I can hear the background music and backup vocals, but the main vocals are really, really quiet - like the singer has locked themselves in the bathroom and the rest of the band are in the room with me!? Plus, the volume will not go up very high. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Travel Dock Zen Micro Question

Hello everyone,
For my holiday I want to buy a set of speakers for my Zen Micro 6GB. I looked around a little bit and found a couple of speakersets. One of them is the Zen Micro traveldock. It looks great and its very clever made with all its features. But now I have some questions about this:
1. Can I charge my Zen Micro with the Travel Dock without the USB-connection, so only the DC-connector ? Because in the description at the Dutch Creatice site it`s not very clear, there they wrote down that you can charge the Zen when you connect the travel dock to a USB-device, so i`m not sure you can do it with the DC only ?
2. Is the soundquality good ? Well, everybody has something different to say about it, but in general you can say something about it. Is it bad, normal or good ? And is the volume power a little bit good ?

My Micro is playing in the TravelDock as I write this. And I can confirm that the lid does close with the Micro in place. The unit has a good sound. I've got it full volume right now. There is no deep bass, but again, these are .5 inch speakers. I will try a powered subwoofer I have with the unit later. There is enough power to fill an average size room or to enjoy the music outside. There is a switch that alters the sound field from narrow to wide. The effect is noticeable if you are listening for it. The connection between the TravelDock and the Micro is easy to make and the Micro sits very securely in the dock. The lid works as desktop stand as well and is held in place by two rubber grippers that are rather stiff and needed some coaxing to work. I will expect these will loosen with use. The documentation on Creative's website says the TravelDock doesn't include batteries, but mine did have 4 Eveready alkalines in the box.
Not too many people have seen the MicroPhoto yet, but apparently it is not exactly the same size as the Micro. There is a small rubber self adhesi've spacer included with the TravelDock. The manual says this small spacer needs to be inserted into the dock if you plug in a MicroPhoto, So, I'm guessing the MicroPhoto is a few millimeters thinner than the Micro. Is that right?

Travel Dock Zen Micro IS Availa

While wondering about Best Buy today, I discovered the Travel Dock Zen Micro in stock. Just 30 days ago Creative told me they didn't know when this product would be available in the US. One reason for the delay may have been the MicroPhoto because the box shows both Micro and MicroPhoto being used in the device. Best Buy's price is $29 US.
An earlier discussion in another thread claimed the Travel Dock lid (which doubles as the desktop stand) could not be closed with the Micro in place. The box clearly shows that it can, so I will be checking it out later today. The box also lists an accessory for the unit I hadn't heard of before, a matching powered subwoofer.

Travelling with a Zen Micro (Internet Cafe

I own a Creative Zen Micro (5GB) and will be travelling for the next 2 to 3 years. I have backed up my music onto a DVD disc (in MP3 format) which I plan to use to transfer new music onto my mp3 player.
Can I transfer music from DVD (via Internet Cafe PC) to Zen Micro without the need to install any software on the Internet Cafe PC?
In summary I won't have access to 'my own' computer and will be reliant on Internet Cafe's and friend's computers. These PC's will not have Creative software installed. How do I survi've?
Alternati'vely, if I need to install software - what is the simpliest method to do this?

. Install the MTP firmware on the player. This will give you access to the player on any XP SP2 machine.
So all I require is the MTP firmware, plug it into the WinXP PC and I can transfer files via Windows Explorer?
If I format my Zen, do I only require the following file to install the correct firmware on my Zen Micro... Creative Zen Micro PlaysForSure Firmware update 2.2.02 (2.32 MB)?
2. Use the "Removeable Storage" portion of the player and copy the drivers to the system. Once done, you would have access to your player through Windows Media Player and would leave have only a minimal effect on the computer. (You could always remove the driver when done)
With the removable storage option, will most WinXP PC's recognise my Zen Micro as a removable disk? I just need to go to Windows Explorer?

Zen micro can not be operate if it is connected to Travel Dock for Zen

I just bought Travel Dock for Zen Micro. I have 2 problems. Any body can help me please? 1. When I connect the Zen Micro to Travel dock. The Zen micro can not be operate both manual or using remote. But the charge sign in the Zen micro is appeared. So I am sure that the connection between Zen Micro and the travel dock is OK. No sound is produced. Any clue for it. 2. The I tried to connect the zen using line in cable. There is sound, but the sound is too weak, even if I set the maximum volume. Any clue for it? Any one has the same problem? How to overcome it? Thanks before for your helping and information

hey Jason thx for reply well it's weird like I said but whenever I downloaded the firmware ver. 2..0 or something the newest one it just said that the Player/USB was not hooked up to the computer when it actually was and it doesn't play any music it goes straight to restore mode. tell me if you need to know a little bit more thx

Zen Micro Power Adapter w/ the ZenMicro Pho

Well I bought a Zen MicroPhoto and unfortunatley it does not come with a hard travel-case nor a wall power adapter.. but, I purchased a Zen Micro before and thankfully have those accessories with me.. however, I wonder, can I use the Zen Micro power adapter with my ZenMicro photo The connection is the same, but I still am worried if something is different..
Any insight would be greatly appericated,
Thanks in advance!

Yes, this is perfectly fine. Creative sells the same power adapter separately for the MicroPhoto. I use my Micro's. It gives more juice in a smaller period of time than the USB connection.

Using Nomad Jukebox3 and Zen Micro on same

I use Nomad Jukebox3 and want to use another, smaller player (Zen Micro) for travelling. Are there any known problems with connecting and managing 2 separate Creative players on one PC?
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks, Steve

You shouldn't have any problems.

Zen Micro starts automatica

I've bought my Zen Micro 5GB about a week ago, and since the moment I have it, rhe following occurs.
Every time I shut down the player, it shuts down like it should, but after a few minutes (depends) the player starts up again, just continuing playing the songs. After a while it will shut again, but the strange thing is that it won't shut on command, and that it seems like it is frozen.
I didn't care too much about this, but when I wanted to go to my workplace today (which is a three-hour-travel, so I like some good music on the way) I noticed the battery was empty, while I had just charged it the evening before. Probably this is caused by the player starting up automatically.
Does anyone have experience with this, or know how to solve it's

Zen micro frozen - please he

my zen micro seems to be hosed. i am currently travelling in NZ and will continue to travel for the next 3 or more months, so my music was pretty important to me, any advice would be helpful.
here's the situation:
currently the micro tries to boot up, hangs on the CREATIVE screen, and then goes directly into safe mode every time. it froze up a few times on me a while back (about a month ago), and then would hang when it was trying to boot up (just as it is now), but the fix i found for it was to boot up into safe mode, run a disk cleanup, and then after that it would boot up just fine and work. this time around though, it froze while it was playing a song, so i rebooted it by taking out the battery (which is the only way to shut it off in such a case that i've found, and of course i tried shutting it off with the switch) and tried to boot it back up. it booted straight into safe mode (where as normally you have to hold the on switch to 'on' while you put the battery back in to get to this mode), and when i selected disk cleanup, it prompted me to do the cleanup, as normal, and then did nothing at all (re: no screen with % completed) and was right back on the safe mode menu. i then tried booting into safe mode the proper way (holding down the on switch while putting in the battery) and tried disk cleanup again, and this time it did it properly (re: with % complete), and then rebooted it and it worked properly. well, properly for about 2 and a half songs, then it froze again. this entire scenario was repeated two more times, and now it does nothing but boot into safe mode every time. when it automatically boots into safe mode (after hanging on the CREATIVE screen), i can chose disk cleanup, and as i mentioned before, it prompts me, but does nothing after i select 'yes' (re: no % completed). when i boot it into safe mode (by holding the on switch and putting in the battery), and chose disk cleanup, it prompts me, i select yes, and it does display another screen which says 'scanning', or something close to that, but also displays no % completed, as it seemed to when it worked. my only options in safe mode are disk cleanup, reboot, format hard dri've, and reload firmware. the latter two choices would seem to erase all my music, which is not really an option since i am far far away from all my original music. i even tried taking the battery out for about 2 hours to see if that would clear out whatever temp memory it has, but that didn't do anything either.
has anyone had this problem? any thoughts? help in a timely fashion on this would be greatly appreciated as being online costs me money, which i don't have much of as i'm traveling around.
on a side note, i have to say this problem disappoints me greatly. this is my second creative mp3 player, and both have no broken in some way. very, very frustrating!
thanks all.

This post is super long. No one is going to reply to it. Unless people have disposable time like me. I think it might be your music. They might be corrupt. I think you're only choice is to sorry to say but start the collection again.~Derek

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 1 G pla

My Zen Micro will not accept a download of a book 2 mb when there is another book on it of only 4 mb. I did a reset with the paperclip and it still will not accept another book, a message comes up saying there isn't enough room, when there must be lots. On checking my file I have a zip file that says Zen Micro P45_L6.2.2.02.exe Jukebox Firmware Upgrade Application Version 2.2.2.0 29/04/07 2.32mb. I do not remember why I had downloaded this zip file and I likely did put it on my player, but does anyone know what it is for and do you think it would solve my present problem. I don't remember ever having any problem with my player before, it always worked well. There are no upgrades on the Creative site as they do not support the Zen Micro any longer and yet it has been a great little player. I am using WMP 0. My problem actually started when I bought another Creative Player (Zen V) and it's program?downloaded WMP onto my computer and my Zen Micro is not compatible with WMP (so the message said) so I put WMP 0 back on hoping it would now work, but it doesn't. I then did a system restore back to Jun 9 and that didn't work either.
I like to take several books with me when travelling and it is very annoying that I can't get any more books on my player. Would appreciate any advice.

I recently bought a used "Zen Micro 5gb". The player came with ..0 version but it has a battery draining problem. I fully charge the player via usb. When i open it (some time after the battery is full), one bar of battery indicator has already gone and although i disable the EQ and Smart Volume functions i can listen to music for only 6 hours. i read in the forums that i should install the ..0 firmware. Why this version doesn't solve my problem. What should i do? Can 2.2.02 firmware help?
It might - but there is the possibilty that the battery is just wearing out and needs to be replaced

Zen Micro Power Confirmat

Okay, so if I order a Zen Micro, it will <EM>not </EM>come with a power adaptor and they're backordered (and no retail outlet has them as far as I can tell). But I've seen mention of using the MuVo Slim power adaptor.
Can anyone confirm that this works? I can power the Micro with the MuVo Slim power adaptor just as I could with one that used to come with the Micro, without a computer/USB port, in the same amount of time?
If not, I'm curious about the uni'versal adaptor: the images on the page for this doesn't show that it has North America mains plugs. Does it's (You'ld THINK it would, but since it's not clear from the screen shots, I'd like to double check).
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks SSR. I'll get the Slim then.
Yes, I meant the travel adaptor. In the screenshots for that product, it shows various Euro plug configs, but I couldn't see a N. American config.
But if I can use the Slim adaptor, that's fine, since I usually travel with a travel adaptor already. I was asking in case that was my only option for a Micro mains adaptor.
