Zen microphoto fm preset sett

When i delete an fm preset, how come the deleted preset number still shows up? The device doesn't know how to reshuffle the preset number to NOT show any preset that is blank. My Sandisk e280 fm preset knows when to skip a blank preset number. Is this feature not part of this device? I've just updated the firmware hoping it would solve this problem but it didn't help. Anyone know how to resolve this issue? Its very annoying when you have to skip all the blank preset. I can't even fill up the preset if I wanted to because there's not enough fm stations in my city. All together there's only about 20 stations here and I only listen to about 8-9 and the preset has 32.
Anyone have any workaround, please help. Thanks.Message Edited by canosatien on 04-22-2007:3 PM

I have a 8gb zen microphoto and the same thing happened to me. The first time I tried to use the radio and find a station it froze up on me. I removed the battery and that seemed to solve it. I have not tried since. I do not use the radio much but would like to be able if I wanted too. Thanks so much for these forums. I am a idjit when dealing with computers and electonics and have learned just from reading the message threads.

ZEN Microphoto set

Hi, I'm trying to install the software for my new Zen Microphoto. My my CD-Rom dri've doesn't allow me to access the disk. I know the disk is ok as I was looking at the files on it on another computer. Also the dri've is working fine with other CDs as I have tried them out on it. It just seems to have problems with the set-up disk I'm using. I'm on XP home edition with service pack 2. My CD-ROM/DVD dri've is an TSST Corp CDRW/DVD TSH492B.
Anyone else ever have these problems?

I believe the ZMP ships with MTP firmware, so as long as Windows Media Player 0 is installed it shouldn't need any drivers. You can download MediaSource from the download page, click the link Support > Downloads on this page.
I've not heard of a problem CD for a long time, but support will always replace this if you contact them (unless there's an issue with your dri've).

Just got an 8 gig Zen MicroPhoto and love it! Just some suggestions tho

Hi everyone, my friend was considering a Zen Vision M and an Ipod video. I kinda suggested the Zen so he got it and absolutely loves it.
After seeing how nice the Zen Vision M is, I jumped on this MicroPhoto when I saw a sale and it is awesome!
The Zen MicroPhoto is a really good device, but just simple firmware stuff could make it a great one.
.) Ability to view pictures + listen to music
2.) Ability to view movies and video (the Muvo has smaller capacity and a screen with less colors and it can? Yet we are buying a nicer mp3 player than the Muvo but can't do video? The Sansa is small as hell and it can. It has the screen, hardware wise it should be able to do it, and if this is added through a firmware update, it won't be on the packaging and thus will not hurt sales of your other products.
I hate it when an awesome product is created and is capable of something and the manufacturer slashes that ability from it intentionally.
Another good example is the Gen III Ford Taurus SHO, its 3.4 liter Yamaha V8 was capable of revving well over 7500RPM and producing more than 30hp. Ford however, even though they had this jewel of an engine, intentionally cut its ability down to 235hp or else they feared it would be faster than their Mustang GT. What a shame, I hate to see that Creative is doing the same with the MicroPhoto.
3.) Ability to record FM with the latest firmware (If this is a RIAA issue, then please provide two firmwares and two download links, one that says "United States Users" and one that says "Non-US users"
4.) Ability to control different aspects of the glowing blue LEDs. They are obviously firmware controlled and can have brightness adjusted since they glow in and out when you have it plugged into the USB cable.
5.) Make it show up on your computer as a removable disk. On all my other MP3 players, it showed up just like a flash dri've and you could drag and drop whatever you wanted onto it, and it would just play whatever files on there it could play. Here, it won't let me drag and drop anything that is copy protected or is a different file type.
I know you can set aside 4 gigs of that for this purpose, but with the size of the files and videos I transfer, it would be nice if I could use all 8 gigs. Perhaps an option to just let the whole thing show up as a removable flash dri've?
*ok... I just tried it and that seems to be working on this computer that is Windows XP SP2 with WMP, but on the school computer that was XP SP2 with WMP0, it would not allow me to do this.

I think you will find that the reason the MicroPhoto is on sale is that it is now a legacy player (it was released before anybody could play video). I doubt very much that any further improvements will be coming....
EQ does have an effect... Maybe you earphones are not working well?

Connecting zen microphoto to home ste

Does anyone know of a device to connect the zen microphoto to their home stereo? I found a device to be able to play my zen in my car, but how can I connect it to my stereo? I have an okay amount of music on there, but I am hesitant about adding more if I can only listen to it when I'm on the train on my way to work or riding in the car. My friend has an ipod and she saved my bachelorrette party by hooking up her ipod to my home stereo. Because my sister forgot her music at home and I don't have much. I don't by cd's freguently by buy mp3 tracks. Please help! Does this device even exist?

It is very easy to connect your MP3 player to your stereo. Go to Radio Shack and tell them you would like to have a Y-Splitter Cable for your MP3 player, in order to hook it up to your home stereo. The person you ask will take you right to them. Just buy one for each stereo at whatever lenght you think you may need. I got mine at around six feet long.
You then hook the red and white jacks up to one of your auxiliary terminals on your stereo, and plug the other end into your headphone jack.
Just cut on your stereo and set it to the auxiliary terminal you chose, and then cut your MP3 player on. You will have to tweak the volume, as MP3 players tend to not be as loud as CD's and such. I keep my Zen Micro at around 20, and adjust the stereo volume to the level I want at the time.

Need serious help with my Zen Microphoto

My Zen Microphoto controls are messed up. evrytime i try to use the vertical pad it actually forwards me to the next song. When i press back to return to the previous menu, instead of doing that it played music that i did not even select?
I REALLY need some help here!!! Its a new Zen Microphoto bought only for a month....

What did you do to control the senstivity of the touchpad. Do you set it to low or med or high I tried all, it is very upsetting not to be able to master something as simple as this. I love the player I just got it yesterday the sound is beautifull although I accidently had it turn to high when it started to play.
Need a reply
thanks:womanwink:

Zen microphoto not charging through

I'm trying to charge my zen microphoto in a friends computer and it just won't charge. The signal is flashing the computer recognizes the device but the battery is still in /3 although there's been 6 hours since I plugged it...
note that I have a usb connection, that the computer is a laptop, I don't have the software installed, and I haven't updated the firmware...
what could be wrong?

For my Micro there is an option that you can set the player in Lock mode and then insert the usb cable to the pc which has not drivers installed to enable charging of the player. Try that out.
However, this is with an updated firmware to at least ..0 for my zen micro. Check with the microphoto firmware for more infoMessage Edited by microm3 on 08-02-2006 0:9 PM

Zen MicroPhoto charging questio

I was wondering how you could turn off Zen MicroPhoto from charging each and every time when you connect it to a computer? Can't the player be connected but stopped from charging?
The reason I'm asking is because you will eventually wreck the battery if you keep charging it when it's not empty or near empty.
If anyone knows something about this,please let me know.
Regards
Gonna

Thanks for your reply. The other problem is the fact that when you set your player to be used as a removable storage disk,it still charges once plugged into a computer.Maybe Creative could fix this problem through a firmware update.
The other thing I noticed is that when you put files on the part of your player that is used as removable storage,you can't access any of those files over the player itself (being either audio or photos). And when you plug the player in to the computer,you can't seem to copy files from the removable storage section to other parts of your player such as music and photos.Maybe I haven't figured it out yet,but from what I've tried to do so far,it just hasn't given me an option.

Freezing Zen Microphoto; post h

I wanna know, how many people are having this problem?
The problem, of course, is that the player will not finish turning on AND you cannot do anything in recovery/rescue mode because selecting an option will cause it to freeze.
This has happened to me with 2 Zen Microphotos already. I thought the first time was just a coincindence or something. Howeverm after looking throught these boards, its seems that the player is just all around faulty.
See the problem, Creative Labs? We post on the forums when we have tried everything else, we've tried the recovery mode, and it freezes. Lets face it, the Zen Micro has a huge problem that needs to be corrected. It does not occur after a set period of time, but in a rather random time frame.

Generally when the player freezes like that, and recovery mode fails to solve the problem (especially if it gives a "Hard disk problem" error), it indicates the player's hard dri've has failed. It's the same with ANY hard dri've player; we all buy the hard dri'ves from a 3rd party company. They generally fail due to abuse, same as in a laptop. This really isn't anything new to hard dri've based MP3 players, Creative, Apple, Archos, etc, in general.

Zen MicroPhoto lots of iss

Couple days ago I bough Zen MicroPhoto player and I can't say I'm very pleased with it due to a number of problems. I think Creative should at least make some kind of additional manual for this model. The issues are the following:
) Player does not support Win2000. I have this system at work and I can't just upgrade it to XP. I read all forum threads on this and none of the proposed solutions worked for me. I could not try to use EasyCd, because it was not in my box. I?d like it to be shipped additionally, but I leave in Russia so for sure it will take a lot of time.
2) Player does not charge when I connect it to my PC with Win2000 installed. Why!? It feels ludicrous if it can be charged only by PC with installed drivers Moreover it does not charge via my wall charger for RazrV3. Any suggestions? I?ve read all forum threads on this as well.
3) There is no possibility to view files in the way they are sorted on hard dri've, I mean that the player reads only tags and if something is wrong with tags the sorting is corrupted.
4)Too sensiti've touchpad.
?
I will appreciate any comments, which can really help. Answers like ?Its not supported. It can be charged only by PC with drivers? are not welcome

Finally, I've found the solution for OS capitability. It works!?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

Zen Microphoto Drivers / How to use microphoto without

I've lost the CD for my Zen Microphoto and just recently formatted and reinstalled Win XP on my computer. Most companies host drivers for the hardware they sell. Creative seems to be taking exception to the microphoto. I've downloaded everything listed in the downloads section for the microphoto. The strange thing is that there is no driver listed. I've been trying for weeks to find a way to transfer songs to and from my zen and have yet to find a way. I can't even install the zen organizer application because it requires a connection with my zen player (which my computer can't find without a driver). I've tried connecting with my zen on several different computers. Nothing works. Any ideas?
By the way, who's bright idea at creative was it to sell mp3 players that don't come with power cords that connect with wall outlets?

If you are using standard oracle client, software is installed correctly, you shouldn't need to. The oracle directories will already be on the path.
If you are using instant client you will have to set your path manually. Goto control panel -> system -> Environment variables.
I'm fairly sure the Instance client installation document has something on this.
Windows doesn't use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It just uses PATH

Just bought my Zen MicroPhoto... Turned it on and

I just purchased my Zen MicroPhoto... I was getting it set up and after toying with it for about 30 minutes I noticed that running horizontal about /4 from the top is a dark line. Not really noticeable with dark backgrounds, but VERY NOTICABLE when viewing light photos.
I cannot tell if it is a DEAD LINE of pixels or just a half-dead line.
The problem is that the store I bought it from (BEST BUY) is COMPLETELY OUT in the whole district.
I really want to use it, but I don't want to keep it if it is a row of pixels on the verge of crapping out.
What do you suggest?

wow the same here i just really noticed it i've had it sence christmas 2006 and i have a line about the top but not quite and one in the about middle and one right below it about the same distance from the one on the top and two?very close to the bottom i only noticed it on the gray folder screen by were u see the pics o and the lines on the bottom are about the same distance as the little scroll of wat the pic is the folder name. lol idk idc i gess im in the us and there dicontinuted and i can only tell the one on top on light screens like little?blue and white and the others just the gray screen of the folders in the pics section. not much i can do right?

Connecting Zen MicroPhoto to

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Zen MicroPhoto. I cannot connect it to my PC. (it had worked before with another PC). The Creative Media Explorer Software is installed correctly, but when connected via USB cable, it says: your player is not connected. It does however recognize the player as USB mass storage device when setting up a removable HDD on the player. I would (of course) like to put music onto my player, but don't know how. Does anyone have an idea? Maybe the reason is that I only have WinXP (not SP or SP2, which due to a file error I cannot install without clearung my entire HDD)?
Thanks for your help!!

minimum requirements for the ZMP states WinXP with SP or better
without SP no MTP functionality,without MTP no ZMP player.

Want a Zen Microphoto but have questi

. Is the 8gig model Flash memory based or does it have a HDD? I would prefer flash.
2. Will it play wma lossless encoded tracks?
How is the sound qualuty compared to an iPod 5G? A good friend gave me a black 5G and I do enjoy it, but I'm in the process of ditching Apple products. lately I've come to the conclusion that buying music via the ITMS or any other online music store is a complete waste of money given all the lousy DRM restrictions. Apple in particular annoys me because all the music I bought is locked to using Apple hardware unless I burn to CD and re-rip to another format which causes degradation in audio quality. Another thing that irks me about Apple is they charge this outrageous premium for outdated technology. No FM Tuner, pathetic battery life and the use of delicate, scratch-prone material that an entire industry has been created to remedy lead me to dislike Apple very much. Lets not forget idiotic design flaws like forcing the customer to send the iPod in for battery replacment which they are all too happy to do for alot of $$$.
Thanks in advance

i have a zen microphoto and let me just say: Ditching ipod.... IS A SMART MOVE !!
Zen microphoto is, of course, in color and has a battery simular to a cell phone battery, so you can handle it, charge it, and replace it whenever you want, or buy extras for long play (i have 2 batteries so when one dies on a long trip, i can switch the second one in seconds)
do you use itunes? GREAT!!! i like my music loud, so i turn the equalizer on itunes all the way up. and to add to that, zen microphoto has its own equalizer that you can set by yourself and choose how high the sound bars go!! with both itune's and zen's equalizer up, you can have a crystal-clear boom of music.
zen has great sound. better than ipods if you use after market earphones because stock ones suck on both ipod and zen (they sound the same with stock phones). zen can go way louder than ipods and be clearer.
the 8GB you ask? as a graduate of M. I. T, im gonna tell you right now that it is not possible for any type of player to have over 5GB and have flash memory. this is for reasons being that if you had a gigantic chip like that, it would be extreemly unstable and fragile. thats why hard dri'ves are made. a hard dri've for mp3 players allows them to hold tremendously more memory and still be very tough and small, since it uses a spining magnet that will virtually last forever. flash dri'ves can loose maximum memory after use and degrade faster than anything over time like "polaroid pictures"?
I would highly suggest a microphoto over any ipod because of the toughness of the model (it is highly scratch-proof and fingerprint proof, unlike ipods). it wont break umless you are extreem with it (wetting it alot, droping it constantly, ect.) its basicly a better player for the same price as an ipod nano. plus, an ipod nano does not even have replacable batteries, nor does it have a radio like the microphoto. to add to that, microphotos are beautiful and have a bigger screen and better quality zoom-in capable pictures and auto focus.
this device is the perfect mp3 player if you want a mini sized, high memory player with the great support of creative guarding your back and worth way more than your charged for an innovation like this. had mine for 3 months now.
PS: if your smart, you wont update the firmware, as this is gambling with your players usability or any mp3 player for that matter. im superb on the one it came with.

Zen MicroPhoto Firmware Proble

So, i have zen microphoto that is experiencing a ''firmware'' problem. Such message appears on the screen when it is turned on.

When i set it in 'Recovery mode' it gives me a few options to 'clean-up' , 'format all' , 'reload firmware' , and 'reboot'
Which is the one i should choose to solve my 'firmware' problem?


I have tried to 'clean up'..but i dont think it has worked.

I have yet to try other options, because i am afraid they will delete my library of music & photos-- which i do not want to do unless it is necessary.

Thanks in advance!



Hello,?I am experiencing the same problem with my MicroPhoto player. One day it froze on me, and since then the firmware has been acting up. It now goes to a "Firmware Problem" screen every time?I turn it on, and after attempting to remove and re-install the firmware 3 times, it has failed to work. Before I purchased the player, I had heard bad things about Creative replacement costs and how the Zen Micro has many problems as well. It looks like our players have lost the HDD and need to be replaced, which I assume will cost more than its worth... The one reason Creative will never beat out the iPod is because of their player glitches and lack of willingness to correct them. Anybody with more information on the hdd dying problem, could you let me know if you managed to send it in, and how much is cost, etc?

How do I convert Itunes purchases to my ZEN MicroPhoto??

Okay, I had an Ipod mini and I went through three of them in the warranty time. I was sorely dissappointed with it, but I got a Creative Labs ZEN microphoto for Christmas and I love it. The only problem is that I have all this music that I downloaded from Itunes and I would love to be able to listen to it on my ZEN. I would still like to keep downloading from Itunes because it's the easiest and most legal downloading site that I have found. I know there are converters online, but I can't ever tell if it's legal or it will work. Does Apple have anything (hopefully free) that converts Itunes for my new ZEN???

Are you saying that iTunes downloads are only compatible with iPod's? That in order to play an iTunes download on anything but an iPod involves either illegal conversion or first burning it to a CD? I, too, just received a Zen Vision M and nowhere in the download, signup or anything else process did I see any mention of the fact that iTunes is not compatible with other software/hardward. Yes, the CD conversion trick works but for the aggrevation and lost time it's cheaper to drive to the store and buy the real thing.
