Zen MicroPhoto Tag/Menu H

Hey all, first post. Just bought a Zen MicroPhoto 8GB red and i've noticed something that's bothering me. Sometimes i want to browse within an artist's songs to find a particular one, but not knowing which album its in. However, in the ZMP when i click on an artist all the albums come up and therse no way to view tracks from ALL albums within the artist. Is there a way to fix this, it should be a standard feature in my opinion. It was on my Rio Carbon before i got it stolen and i used it all the time to find a particular track.
Another note, is it possible to use the ac charger from another mp3 player with the ZMP. BTW it was for the RIo Carbon, same format as I would need for the creative, has a input for the usb cable and plugs into the wall. thanks

hello, Before my ZMP froze on me I built up a playlist which seems to be what you need. You need to install the Creative Zen installation CD which allows you to make a playlist so you can listen to all of the songs in your albums.
Simply install the program, and start media source organizer, and make a new playlist, then go to the songs that you want and select them en-mass if possible (i.e. s hift + click) and right click and select "add to playlist" and select the playlist you created from the drop down menu, or just drag and drop the albums you want onto the playlist so when you go to playlist on your ZMP you can open the one you made which will have all of the songs you wanted together in the same group. I used this with my old MP3 player to shuffle songs, but unfortunately my zen isn't working hence my reason for being on these forums -.-"
i've tried it on ZMP and it works fine so just AIM me on l3enwang if you have any other questions because i don't plan to check these forums very often.Message Edited by benw on 08-27-2006 0:43 AM

  • Zen MicroPhoto; can you access the rescue menu if the battery is de

    the battery on my zen microphoto is dead;
    so i plugged it in the computer.
    the light will not turn on, nor will it act like it is plugged into a computer.
    so i cannot access the rescue menu because the battery is dead.
    any suggestions?

    Here's a locked menu in action.

    It's an Ad-Hoc solution, because I had the take the shaded bar at the top into account. Will fixed that later.
    The bar at the top of this page and the other pages is a solution to have the bar stretch the width of the page when you resize the browser window.
    It cannot be done in iWeb itself. You need a JavaScript.
    So you get two solutions for the price of one.
    Here's the JavaScript :
    Apparently Discussions does not accept all the JavaScript code.
    So have a look at the source here :

  • Creative Zen Microphoto 8GB hangs

    Hello,
    I have seen a lot of posts on the same subject here, but have not seen any resolution yet.
    I am sure the story sounds familiar... hangs at "Creative" logo, I go into recovery mode, and run scan disk or format etc... They don't work. I have even left the player on "formatting" overnight until the battery drains and it never finishes, same goes for "Scanning".
    I am on my 4th player now and am having the same issue again. This time the player is now out of warranty so I can't return it, and I am not paying money out of my own pocket to get this thing fixed. Please don't tell me this product is defecti've... I don't buy that excuse. And it isn't a corrupt file, because a reformat would fix that.
    Once it hangs, my computer won't recognize it, so I can't even try to update the firmware or anything.
    Any new updates or information on this issue? It is obviously a well documented problem...just google "Creative zen freezes" and see how any hits you get!
    I am pretty disappointed with this player. I should have followed my gut instinct in the first place, and just bought an iPod. I spent a lot of money on this paper weight. Any help,advice,prayers,or donation$ (for a new iPod) would ge greatly appreciated!

    Right you will need to download the latest firmware from this site.
    Here is a hyperlink to where you can download the firmware:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...lect=4&x=9&y=2
    You might have to put some details in.
    Once you have downloaded the latest firmware just start the program up.
    Plug in your Zen into the PC and then press the "Reload Firmware" button on your Zen.
    You should see your computer screen pick it up.
    Then you click on your PC to install firmware.
    That should be it.
    I hope this hel
    ps.
    Got any questions you have just post on this space.
    I do apologise if this does not make much sence my grammer is not that brilliant.

  • Creative Zen MicroPhoto has cras

    My Creative Zen MicroPhoto fell foot onto the floor.
    When i restarted- it compiled library for a 0 seconds and then continues to open as normal.
    All my music and recordings do not appear in the menu system anymore. When i do a system check my stuff still takes up 3gb of storage but no files appear.
    I have tried rebooting and clean up etc but still no joy.
    I have tried the Recovery tool - but my laptop does recognize the device when i connect using USB.
    Some of the recording of lectures and conferences are important to me.
    Is there anyway of retrieving these?
    thanks,

    How are you transferring the music? Can you describe exactly what you do? For instance what software you use, what steps you follow to transfer the music...

  • Creative Zen MicroPhoto Error (8

    Hi,
    I'm from the UK but purchase a Zen MicroPhoto from the USA brand new. I've had it around 3 weeks and its been great but the other day when i went to turn it on the screen froze and it wouldn't boot up the the menu like usual. It is the Creative logo screen in white on the black background, the one with the copyright information.
    Anyway i've had it in revocery mode and nothing but the reboot option works but of course it just boots to the same situation except that its just Creative white on black logo with no copyright info. Then freezes at that point. Of course it won't install the new firmware i have as it won't recognize it on the computer because it hasn't booted properly..
    Clean up - Freezes and never completes
    Reboot Firmware - Freezes.
    Formate - Freezes
    Reboot- Freezes after attempt.
    I've read through a few topics and seen similar things but is there a solution or is my Mp3 player faulty? It seems the optins to sort this out they give you are as good as a chocolate fireguard.
    Will i have to send it back to get it sorted and will Creti've UK take it's
    Thanks......

    If it was something the player could recover from (ie just an error), then the options in Recovery Mode should have done that. It unfortunately sounds like it's faulty.
    Contact Customer Support (for the UK), I'm sure they will be able to assist you.

  • 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 8gb.. im shock

    Hi guys!
    Well i hope u can help me cause im really desperate :/
    Today i connected my Zen microphoto to my car's stereo and it suddenly rebooted... i said "what the hell", but i kept listening. Some time later i reconnected the player to the stereo, again rebooted (it doesnt happen always) but this time it restarted in recovery mode. Gave me 4 options:
    CLean up -- Cleans but does nothing
    FOrmat ALL --Havents tried it yet (wouldnt like to try it)
    Reload Firmware
    Reboot --Reboots player and enters into recovery mode/menu again
    So reloading firmware makes a little window appear saying "firmware is being erased" and then it just frezes. One time it finished but nothing happened, just returned to recovery menu.
    I tried reloading firmware via usb but the process fails at the very end. I dont know what to do.
    I read in another post something about waiting for the battery to be depleted. Im gonna try that now.
    Meanwhile i would apreciate your opinions. Thnx!
    Oh by the way my pc does recognize my Zen and all.Message Edited by kaji_to on 2-8-2005 08:25 AM

    ? turn your Zen MicroPhoto off

    ? while the switch is held to <i>ON</i>, replace battery and back cover
    ? select <i>Disk Clean-up</i> from the Recovery Menu
    ? select <i>Reboot</i> after Clean-up has completed
    ? select <i>Format</i> if you want to delete all your files
    ? don't select <i>Remove Firmware</i>, unless you want to go through some hassle getting your computer to recognize your Zen again

  • Zen microphoto + itunes plug in +

    hello all,
    I'm desperately trying get my ZEN MICROPHOTO back into the useful category.. As of now it is collecting dust... with a dead battery as a result of me buying a mac.
    I'm using an emac G4 .25GHz, mac os 0.3.9.
    I've tried XNJB, no luck.. tried all different combinations of the order in how I try to connect, made sure I had absolutely nothing else running or connected to usb/fw... nothing.
    I was reading the other day that there is a PLUG IN FOR ITUNES that will allow use with zen microphoto. However, I have tried extensi've googling but have not been able to locate a source for dl that is still operational.. Can someone please help?
    I am so frustrated with this mp3 player, even when I had a PC (XP), the player was very temperamental...
    please help! does any one have the itunes plug in?
    thank you

    I have had good luck running XNJB. It seems to integrate well, with some limited capability (can't upgrade firmware, upload computer time). But transferring music is easy. I'm using Mac OS 0.4.9 on a MacBook Pro. I could have sworn I just saw a reference to Zen Micro Photo for that iTunes plug in, but now I can't find it. Maybe I was seeing what I wanted to see. But I'm tempted to try the one for the other Nomad/Zen products, to see if it will work. One problem I have not solved with XNJB is that I can't seem to add the date tag to the files. So, when I look at my list of downloaded talk radio MP3s, I can't sort by the specific date of the download, and instead have to reference back to the title between iTunes, which sorts them that way and back to XNJB.
    Anyway, if anyone has answers please provide. If I were you I'd try to relaod XNJB and read their website. It may be a matter of how you are using it. Are you connecting to the player, or attempting, or just assuming it connects on it's own? USB? Etc....
    Good luck!

  • Zen Microphoto Probl

    My Zen Microphoto is giving me problems as of late. It isn't being detected by my computer, it doesnt show the song info on the now playinng screen, it freezes up a lot, and when i start it up it freezes on the "rebuilding library" everytime. it worked perfectly for months and i am lost with out it!!! somebody help me!!!!

    probably the only thing to do is hold the on switch while putting in the battery then you will get a menu,? I would first select disk clean and see if that fixes if not there is a menu option for format I would do that

  • Zen Microphoto Questi

    I just bought the Zen Microphoto to replace my old Nomad Zen Xtra 40Gig.
    The sound quality between the two is the same.
    Some problems Ive been having with the Xtra is that there is a pixel or two that dies off randomly and sometimes a song restarts by itself.
    I have some questions on the Microphoto...
    ) What is the resolution for photos/wallpapers? (60x60?)
    2) Is there a way to make customs themes? (I would like to see some transparent bars. like in the top so that the top of the wallpaper isnt blocked)
    3) Why cant I look at photos, while listening to music? (Doesnt it put the mp3 into a buffer/ram so it wont have to read the HD all the time to save power?)
    Overall, I love Creative products and Im highly anti-apple. =)

    I have another question...
    When you add a track or playlist to the "Selected"...how can you look at the Selected list?
    On my Nomad Zen Xtra, there is a Selected Music menu option so I can see the list of songs I want to hear..yet I can find a menu item like that in the ZMP.
    After I add my playlist to the selected, and lets say I used the shuffle mode and came across a song in the middle of the playlist. Then I want to listen to a song that appears after the song that is playing right now. The way I used to do it is open up the list of selected music, scroll down once, and boom...the song I want is playing. Now, when that happens in the ZMP, I have to open the playlist, scroll all the way to middle and find that song. I know I can use the search track, but thats more tedious to scroll down and type the name.Message Edited by virus86 on 03-02-200602:38 PM

  • Zen MicroPhoto h

    i got a zen microphoto about a year ago. i took good care of it,dropped it once. now,when i turn on my microphoto it shows nothing but a black screen. i can hear the songs i have on it but i can't see what i am doing. all i am seeing black the lights go on and everything,i can hear music/songs. i'm not sure what to do. any ideas?

    You said "it's fine when I charge it" Do you mean that it charges fine? Do a clean up>reboot from the recovery menu. If that doesn't help a format of the dri've should get it recognized. BE AWARE FORMATING WILL ERASE ALL FILES.Message Edited by coachop94 on 09-28-2008 06:02 PM
