Zen Micro: Creatively Packing In More Features but not in a iPod Zen state yet.

by yusakugo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Nov 24 '04
Pros: $249 gets 5GB, FM radio, built-in mic, removable battery, comparable size to iPod
Cons: Touchpad interface needs some work, design hit or miss
It's inevitable that the iPod would get some serious competition... and it is just as inevitable that all future mini-hard drive players be compared to the iPod and the i Pod mini. Until some MP3 player bests the iPod, ...

My first MP3 player!! (maybe my last one!?)

by stse , Apr 30 '05
Pros: Besides playing Mp3, it is good to have file transfer, voice recording, FM radio feature
Cons: Sensitive touch pad, short battery life. Unclear disk space allocation
First of all, when I saw it from the Internet. It was so attractive. It is a mp3 player. It is a organizer. It is a voice record and it is a FM radio and also, it is removable hard drive. What a great deal for 200 something dollars. Did I regret? ...

Sounds Great, Fails Miserably

by nad_masters Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Mar 08 '05
Pros: Small size, fast boot, sound quality, removable battery, FM, voice recorder
Cons: Touch-sensitive controls, too many sub-menus, no UMS
My T reo 600 with P ocket Tunes 3 served as my main traveling entertainment, and it served pretty well. The A TP 1 GB SD Card that was used for ...

An excellent MP3 player, a useless radio.

by userleif , May 29 '05

Cons: Useless radio, mediocre headphones, fiddly slider control.
Introduction The Creative Zen Micro is a small portable MP3 player, FM radio and voice recorder, with a rechargeable li-ion battery, small microphone and a headphone output socket. It has a 5BG hard disk providing space for about 80 albums ...

The Best bang for My Buck was the Creative Zen Micro...

by jimyster , Jul 09 '05
Pros: Removable battery. Very well priced. Very Durable. Works as advertised.
Cons: Power button seems awkward. Touch buttons can be very touchy.
INTRO: Being a big music fan, I initially wanted to try out the music rental subscription services. But found it would require an MP3 player that had a hard drive, not just a flash player like I had at the time. So I researched a number of them ...

Creative Zen Micro: An mp3 player to rule them all.

by p3phill , Feb 23 '05
Pros: Excellent Sound quality, great functionality, styling, FM Radio, 5gb, voice recorder
Cons: None, except for slightly overstated battery life
Introduction Micro Hard drive mp3s players are booming more than ever before. The small size, generous song capacity and modern styling appeal to many many people. After finally purchasing my own, I can really understand why they are so popular. ...

Sleek..Sexy..Nice Price..Easy to use!

by fozzy_bear , Dec 12 '04
Pros: Excellent style, reliable company & great performance.
Cons: Touch-pad navigation (for some), can't transfer files from 1 player to another, which color?
You would think I was talking about a car or something. Well if Creative made cars like this I would be in line to buy one. For me this player is replacing a NOMAD Jukebox that was purchased about 6 years ago! So I was long overdue for a new MP3 ...

Loaded, but I Can't Get Over the Touch Pad

by bobdobbs1 , Dec 26 '04
Pros: All player standards plus FM, recorder, MS Outlook Sync, solid software, great changeable battery
Cons: Touch pad navigation drives me crazy
What's not to love about the Zen Micro? It's everything you could want in a player and more. In addition to standard music features, you get FM, FM recording, Voice recorder, and synchronization with MS Outlook. The accompanying software worked well, ...

Creative Zen Micro = Nifty!

by d2privat11 , Jun 03 '05
Pros: Compact, Easy to use, Touchpad, FM Radio, Variety of colors.
Cons: Some FM radio stations don't show up, case doesn't protect screen.
I bought this MP3 player after several weeks of research. I wanted a compact player that was simple to use, well designed, and had an FM radio. I came across this after I had checked out the Muvo Micro on the Creative site, and I must say, the Paris ...

A great small MP3 player

by etts49 , Mar 02 '05
Pros: Great look, easy to use, 5GB, 10 great different colors
Cons: Price still seems a bit high, battery life lower than expected
This device has definitely exceeded my expectations. At first, my main concern was the sensitivity of the touch pad. And there was a point where it was just too sensitive to be productive in doing anything with the micro. However, after setting the ...

Yet another player with bad UI design

by dventimi , Dec 27 '04
Pros: sound, storage, colors, battery
Cons: UI, software, docs, radio auto-preset function a disaster
Why oh why have MP3 player makers forgotten the importance of UI design? They layer on one whiz-bang feature after another (native MP3 ripping! Outlook contacts storage! voice recording!) then slap on a crummy human-device interface, proving how ...

Napster-To-Go Advice - Problem and Solution

by mc_in_or , Apr 02 '05
Pros: If you can get it to work, it's great
Cons: It't the getting it to work that's the trick
Hello, first time reviewer for anything. Got this specifically because it was listed on the Napster site as compatible with To-Go. PROBLEM: it is not compatible out of the box. I did a lot of reading about firmware updates, and tried to upgrade to ...

by jazzemmy , Apr 02 '05

The Creative Zen Micro. The facts/features, my opinions and experiences, plus problems and warnings. Facts: 5 GB (new models come in 4GB and 6GB options) 12 hour battery life (more than the iPod) Snazzy Colors (10, including red, pink, orange and ...

Small sleek digital music player loaded with extras

by citybean , Jan 20 '05
Pros: Great sound. Size and design. Cool factor. Removeable battery. Many extras. Price.
Cons: Glitches with the (unneeded) included software.
I've had my Zen Micro now for about a week. I've charged and discharged the removeable battery about 5 times. A charge lasts right around 8 hours, and recharges in about 2 hours. A second battery was not included in my unit. Really cool oscillating ...
