The Zen Micro digital music player from Creative Labs packs an incredible 6 GB of storage capacity into a shell small enough to sit comfortably in your jeans pocket. It also rides nicely in your hand, with a palm-fitting profile and thumb-friendly front-panel controls. It's a bit shorter than an Apple iPod Mini, yet its rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides 12 hours of continuous playback--50 percent more than iPod Mini's. The Zen Micro is compatible not merely with MP3s and WAV files, but with WMA as well. Toss in USB 2.0 connectivity and you're looking at one spiffy portable music player.  | But playing isn't all the Zen Micro does. You can use it to receive FM radio (with 32 station presets to keep your favorites at the ready), and to record, either from the radio or from live sources such as voice dictation or lectures using the built-in condenser microphone. Trimmed in a luminescent blue glow and with easily visible backlit buttons, this stylish orange player holds up to 1,500 songs (99 hours) at 128 kbps or 3,000 songs (198 hours) at lower-fidelity 64 kbps (MP3/WMA)--that's a solid week's worth of music listening, never playing the same song twice. Compatibility with Microsoft's WMA compressed-audio format grants access to over 2 million downloadable songs offered promotionally or for sale online. Perhaps the Zen Micro's coolest attribute is its DJ feature, which will shuffle not only all the songs you've loaded or all the songs on a given album, but also, at your discretion, only the tracks you listen to most or the ones you rarely hear, taking the work out of selecting your favorites or hunting out all the music you're still getting to know. |

You'll never forget an important anniversary with the onboard calendar, and it also includes a to-do list and a contacts list, all of which sync seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook (Outlook thus required for use of these features). Further, the device offers a sleep timer and alarm so you can drift off to sleep to the strains of one playlist and wake to a completely different one. The Zen Micro's removable battery is easy to swap with another fully charged battery (additional batteries sold separately), extending your listening by a half-day per swap. |

Creative Zen Micro 6 GB MP3 Player Black Reviews
But I with Windows Media Player Sync and that works out fine. I have it filled to the max with music and listen to it daily.
The charge life is less than i had hoped, barely making it thru an 8 hour work day.
I just learned to let it be and not mess with it too much. I've sent mine back twice (without charge) for software issues.
I've have my ZEN Micro for over 2 years. Favorite part: it is orange.
I can no longer use the Creative computer software to upload music because it doesn't recognize my player.
The blue/white lighting looks fantastic as well. I wish I got one. The Ipod you have to send in, go without it for a week or two, and be charged both for labor and the parts. Another advantage to this player is that the battery is replaceable. I have a Sansa mp3 player which blows ($90 piece of plastic). This player feels much higher quality (and it is) and personally I found the menu system more powerful than the Ipod. lol =(
or perhaps some people are simply much more careless with their gadgets than i am, because i've been using this thing more or less every day for over two years and have never had a problem with it. Or perhaps they just like to have something to [.]. I will admit that, at first, the menus and interface were a bit clunky, but after a day or so i was completely used to it. Personally, i'm extremely satisfied with this product. I've been reading some of the other reviews of this product, and it almost seems like they're talking about a different product than the one that i own.
There may be MP3 players with much larger capacity or that play video or do other things, but I don't really need any of those features/functions, and honestly, 6 gigs of music is plenty for my purposes. I haven't even needed to replace the battery yet (although with the cost of replacement batteries currently down to about 13 bucks or so, i might just pick up a spare anyway), but it is reassuring to know that it is an option. This factor is one of the main things that i took into consideration when choosing between the various MP3 devices that were available when i made my purchase. Many people seem to complain that the buttons are too sensitive, but perhaps they do not realize that there is a way to adjust the sensitivity. about.
The player doesn't even register half the time with my computer. Get something, anything else. The application to get your MP3s on this is not user friendly, not intuitive.
Save your aggravation. I plug in the Ipod and it takes maybe 30 seconds. I'm a big techno-geek, but this is been one of the most awkward, horrible experiences I've had trying to get this device to do the simplist things.
It takes a good half hour of messing around with the device and the settings to get it to work. Save your money.
1 minute tops. It's like it's strived to be so different from the ipod that it took out all of the good and left the bad.
Well it was for about a year anyway.
Besides the buttons not working, it also doesnt hold a charge for very long.
If you want a mp3 player that lasts long and is durable then you should probably keep looking because this definitly doesnt.
But it was good while it lasted =/
It really sucks because this is a good mp3 player and it holds all my music but now i cant use it because the buttons dont work.
At first, it was just one and then gradually they all stopped working.
After that the buttons pretty much stopped working.
i've had this mp3 player for about 2 years now and it's been pretty good.
It lasts for about 4 hours until it dies.
