Product Description
Amazon Product Description
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.


For navigation, the device features a vertical, linear touchpad designed to make searching through songs or playlists easy, quick, and fun. The unit's blue, 160 x 104-pixel, electroluminescent LCD shows key functions and song details at a glance, and you can even customize the main menu to keep right at your fingertips the features that matter most to you.

Another of the Zen Micro's handy features is its personal organizer. 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.

Zen Micro's rechargeable battery is easy to replace.

Zen Micro's Removable Disk mode lets you connect your player to the computer and directly copy the files you need.

Vertical touch pad
No more going round in circles to find the song you want, we all know that the quickest distance between two points is a straight line. Zen Micro's vertical touch pad and touch sensitive controls are designed to be intuitive so that searching through songs or playlists is easy, quick and fun - try taking a cruise down this strip.

Removable Disk
Store and transfer not only your favorite tunes, but important data files as well. Zen Micro's Removable Disk mode lets you connect your player to the computer and directly copy the files you need.

Highest audio quality of any MP3 player
Zen MP3 players are renowned for their superior audio quality, and the Zen Micro is no exception. With an outstanding industry leading 98dB signal to noise ratio, you can achieve audio bliss with clarity as good as expensive hi-fi systems. That coupled with high fidelity earphones with dynamic bass response, the Zen Micro not only sets a new standard for sheer style, but for unmatched audio perfection.

What's in the Box
The Zen Micro player, stereo earbud headphones, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a USB 2.0 cable, an installation CD, a quick- start guide, and Creative MediaSource software.

1 out of 5 stars God awful piece o' c**p!!!.......2007-06-17

Occasionally, I can get the thing to work. Crashes on a regular basis, and doesn't always feel like rebooting. It's definitely a good thing that it has a removable battery, because otherwise I'd have to wait for the battery to die before I could reboot it. I've had to reset everything multiple times, and every so often, it decides to wipe out the DMR licenses to music I've purchased. I have to say one thing....it is better than the neeon. That I couldn't get to work for more than a month before I had to replace that. Save the money you'd spend on this paperweight for something more useful, like paying to have pitbulls rip you apart.

3 out of 5 stars liked the functions, but software is not easy to use.......2007-05-21

I really liked the fact that this had an fm tuner so I could hear the TV at the gym. One problem was the software was difficult to use and the I lost all my music on the player and had to reload it twice. I gave up after that and got an i-pod. It is much easier to use and I am an apple convert now.

5 out of 5 stars Survived a swim!!.......2007-05-08

This player has been absolutely fantastic. The battery life has been great, it has been easy to use, and the software that comes with it is easy to use. I love it so much that I bought another and gave this one to my daughter. She dropped it in the toilet and I thought it was ruined. After it dried out all I had to do was recharge the battery and it was good to go. All of the songs were still on it. It is a fantastic product!

2 out of 5 stars Not worth it.......2007-05-04

I have read through the other reviews but they must have been written right after buying the product. The number one rule of reviews is to do it several weeks after buying the product. I own a 6GB zen micro and the 1yr warranty that comes with the product is not enough. Within the first 2 months, I had the same headphone jack problem everyone who owns a micro will have. If you are an average Joe like me who doesn't want to take it apart and tighten whatever may be loose, YOU WILL HAVE TO SEND IT BACK.

My micro failed twice after the headphone jack issue and all within the first yr of ownership. The first was the jack, the second time was the firmware issue. I tried several things including downloading the free software online but that didn't help. The player eventually died (it wouldn't come on) and it wasn't a battery issue. I had to send it in a second time and I was very upset because it seemed like I barely had time to enjoy my player before I had to send it in to the shop again. The third time my micro failed was 1wk after the warranty was up. Since I was out of warranty, they said I had to pay [...] for service which is almost enough to buy 2 new micros!! Of course I wasn't dumb enough to take that offer. My Micro is still sitting dead and I am not a very happy customer.

The reason why I bought the Micro is because I am quite anti-apple. I was looking for a good alternative but I should have waited a little while because now there are so many other options to the I-Pod. DON'T BUY THE MICRO because YOU WILL HAVE AT LEAST THE PHONE JACK ISSUE TO DEAL WITH GUARANTEED. Also, creative products don't last long. I own headphones and speakers by creative and they all died in less than a yr after I bought them brand new from Amazon. A friend of mine sent her micro back twice within one yr and they eventually told her they couldn't fix it so she had to pay for a new one.

This isn't a 'hate' review. The Micro does offer really good features as described in other reviews. It's just that they should spend more time on R&D as well as quality and durability. Even though I will never buy an IPod, I have to admit that the IPod is built to last and is rugged. I have several friends with IPods and they have never complained or had to send it back as far as I know. I am going to try the SanDisk Sansa e-series now because I have had other SanDisk falsh products for about 3 yrs now and it still works as well as the first day I bought it.

4 out of 5 stars more bang than an ipod.......2007-04-23

I must admit that I went to the store to pick up an ipod when the salesgirl asked me, "what do you need it to do". I hadn't thought about that, but when I told her; she suggested I check out the Micro. For the same price, I could not only download and listen to songs; but I can also record songs live and from the radio, convert files from wav to mp3 and back, and do things that a performer needs to do.

Now I don't leave home without it. I use it to record live gigs with my band, rehearsals, and sometimes auditions (I just drop it in my bag when I walk in the room). I've recorded shows I've done from the audience and the sounds come out great.

I really like this one and recommend it to anyone who is a performer or writer (I easily record my song ideas on trains, planes, buses, etc) or anyone who has to record and remember things; and they easily transfer to the computer to save or burn onto a disk.

Customer service was also great when I had a little problem with the headphone jack. They fixed it in a matter of days and sent it back out to me like brand new.
