Creative Zen Micro 5 GB MP3 Player Green Reviews
Touch scroll is nice, Glowing Blue lights adds to the nice coolness factor. How it is true I haven't tried all the new players out lately I remembered this one that I used to have and boy do I miss it. This is quite possibly the coolest mp3 player out. Not super tiny but is not clunky by any means. 10/10 Seriously You really need to see it in person to see just how high the quality actually is.
Oh well, I did get my money back, and the customer service was good, so 4 stars. The only way to unfreeze the thing was to take the battery out. after about a month it started freezing regularly when I tried to turn it off. Well, obviously this wasn't normal, so I called Creative and they said normally they would replace it, but they discontinued the product. I really liked it, and I would recommend it, I just hope it doesn't break. Then, about a week later, it just completely froze, and the screen showed a picture of an unhappy zen micro.
terrible company. Don't buy Creative anything.terrible product. I bought a 6gb Micro in 4/06.after several months the screen locked up.I tried everything including a new battery.$200 bucks in the trash.
The Explorer offers a task list to easily rip audio CD to the device, with a box to check whether you wanted to also rip the mp3s to the Music Library on the C drive. And that's it. Although pretty much Windows drag and drop, there is some setup to do beforehand, so don't rush things and read the pdf manual. Later when I wanted to burn an MP3 CD (rather than an audio CD), I found could do this only with access to the harddrive's version of the Music Library. I eventually worked around the whole thing using other programs, and now have a cd that will play my tracks in order on a CD player. The paper manual has instructions for installing the drivers and playing the files.
And for some reason, I could not after the fact move my many ripped albums of mp3s from the Zen player to the c drive's Music Library. No way to have the mp3s be "tracked" on an mp3 CD burn. If this had been explained beforehand or at all somewhere, I would have saved hours of time. When I finally figured that out (and I reripped the album I was interested in), then the mp3 burn list would import the tracks only in alphabetical order. Now I'm just going to make straight copies of it.
Have had the unit only a day, and figured out how to load the mp3s after an hour or so of loading program and reading the manual.
But their manuals and tutorials make it all seem so easy.select tracks, place them in order with my named playlist, click a few buttons.and presto, it's stalled or a mess with no means to figure what happened.
I think I am pretty satisfied with the quality and oompf of the player itself, but Creative's "MediaSource Organzier" interface (along with the simpler "Media Explorer" and their capabilitiesor notcaused many wasted hours here on Day Two.
Through the forums on Creative's website, I discovered that is the only option.
I tried via a custom playlist and bringing over a clearly numbered Album, and they tracks jumped to the burnlist in alphabetical order.
I didn't want to waste my precious space on C drive, so unchecked the option.
Too many hours where a few sentences in the manual would have helped.
You'll have to go online or read the pdf manual to really work this thing.
Phooey.
Then after about 3 months the headphone jack started having problems, so she brought it to me and I fixed it. We bought one of these for my daughter and within a month the thing would freeze up. The same thing happened to my video zen:m using the sony headphones. (hint: go to the public relations for fastest results). This happend 3 more times till my daughter quit using her sony sport headphones. Then it happened again and they would send a new one (didn't have to call their PR after the first one). Evidently there something with sony headphones and creatives MP3 players. I was mad and wrote the head of their public relations department a letter and Creative called me the next morning and had a battery overnighted to my daughter.
They fixed it and sent it back without the battery and told her it would cost $40 dollars for a new battery. She sent it back for repairs and left the battery in. Now my daughter has a ipod nano and seems really happy with it. And it has worked fine since then.
