Amazon.com Product Description

The Zen Micro digital music player from Creative Labs packs an incredible 5 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 Zen Micro's built-in condenser microphone.

Trimmed in a luminescent blue glow and with easily visible backlit buttons, this stylish dark blue player holds up to 1,250 songs (83 hours) at 128 kbps or 2,500 songs (166 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 in a given album, but also, at your discretion, only the tracks you listen to most, or only those you rarely hear, taking the work out of selecting your favorites or hunting out all the music you're still getting to know.

Zen Micro's rechargeable battery is easy to replace.
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). In addition, 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.

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.

Not that great..........2007-09-13

We bought one of these for my daughter and within a month the thing would freeze up. She sent it back for repairs and left the battery in. They fixed it and sent it back without the battery and told her it would cost $40 dollars for a new battery. 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. (hint: go to the public relations for fastest results). Then it happened again and they would send a new one (didn't have to call their PR after the first one). This happend 3 more times till my daughter quit using her sony sport headphones. Then after about 3 months the headphone jack started having problems, so she brought it to me and I fixed it. And it has worked fine since then. The same thing happened to my video zen:m using the sony headphones. Evidently there something with sony headphones and creatives MP3 players. Now my daughter has a ipod nano and seems really happy with it.

Good until..........2007-03-16

I bought my Zen Micro about a year ago. I loved it because it had great features at a great price. The music is pretty good and it holds a lot. The radio is good once you get it to tune. The way it is designed is great and the voice recording is useful.

A few weeks ago though, my problems with it started. If you charge the battery when it is half-way, it makes the battery last a LOT less. It started dieing very soon. I tried to charge it, but when you take out the battery and turn it on it goes to a recovery screen. You can't get out of it easily. It is helpful but never delete the firmware. It says you can reload it onto the player through a USB plug, but you can't easily at least. Since it was more than 60 days old, they wouldn't let me talk to them over the phone. Also, it was more than a year ago so they wouldn't even help me by e-mail. They left me with a small "knoledge database" that didn't help at all. They did say though that for $12.99 you could get a 30 minute session with a "Creative tutor." I took a search to finally find the phone number. Finally I got in contact with a person and told him my problem. He told me that I could send it in and get it repaired for $60 to $100 plus $12.99 for shipping back and whatever I pay for shipping to get there. Disgusted, I decided not to pay, and just got a new player.

So I am here to tell you that while the Zen Micro might be good, the service is absolutely terrible. Even Apple which I heard doesn't have great service has better service than Creative.

Don't buy! Fine product with bad hardware problems........2007-01-20

I got this when it first came out and like everyone else, I had the headphone jack problem. Creative wanted me to pay 90 some dollars to get it fixed. Yeah ight, for a major defect that was THEIR problem and if you weren't under warrent then too bad?!?! Not only that but the software wouldn't let me well do anything. I had to go install a new media center just to sync music. This would have been the Ipod killer if it didn't have crap service and hardware problems. Don't waste your money on Creative.

Good Initially but Won't Work Now.......2007-01-18

I loved this little guy when I first bought it (about 18 months ago). Now, it won't connect via USB (maybe one time out of 10) and it freezes up when playing. I've tried everything to clean it up and correct the problem, but it still freezes. Sadly, I'll be buying a replacement from somebody else because I liked the software and easy of use.

Unusable ... but good while it lasted........2007-01-06

As with everyone else, I have to wiggle and jiggle my headphone jack to get it even remotely close to working. This makes it not only impossible to use when running, but even when just walking or moving at all. For the same price you could get an iPod or better.

THE BEST OF THE BEST.......2006-01-19

I first bought the Motorola print server so all of our computers could print easily and wirelessly. when i got it it was so easy to set up. Now i have the wireless router the motorola 850GP. I had before a very bad D-Link DI-624 C Version they are horrable. Once i got the motorola all i had to do was plug it in to my cable modem and the power. Then i used a very simple installation CD that it came with and that took at the most 10 minutes. Then it took me to a website that was also easy that helped me to set up the security settings and the IP addresses on my 3 computers. In no time i had all the computers on the internet wirelessly and printing wirelessly. If you are having trouble installing it DONT hessitate to call Customer Service they can get it up and running in way less time then it would take to be mad at the modem.

Terrific High-Quality Router.......2005-03-08

I did quite a bit of research on wireless routers before purchasing one through Amazon. I wanted something that was a high-quality product that didn't have a lot of mixed/bad reviews... and I found that Motorola had terrific reviews and was also putting out the latest versions of wireless technology.

I am not sure how familiar you are with the wireless networks, but the "standard" version of the wireless radio waves is called: 802.11b which operates at about 11Mbps, if I remember correctly. Now, however, there is an 802.11g technology out that is about 54 bps, which most establishments will be upgrading to in the near future. This means that the transfer rate of information over the radio waves is supposedly increased about 5 times faster with the new technology. So looking ahead, I wanted a router that would use the newer technology... and also still "talk" with the older standard, which some "Hot Spots" such as Starbucks are still currently using.

After looking at the mostly terrible reviews of other manufacturers, I settled on the newest Motorola wireless broadband router, model 850gp which uses the 802.11g technology, and also has "Performance Enhancement" technology over their 850g model.

I originally was going to use an older Belkin 802.11b wireless card that my husband had used several years ago at college, but after many hours of grief trying to get it to work... and calling Motorola's Customer Support (very helpful and nice folks by the way), and Belkin's Customer Support (pretty useless...), we found out that the school's networking gurus had actually physically changed the IP address on the Belkin card, which means "its really trash" in other words. ;) It was nice at least to find out that there was nothing wrong with the Motorola router, and there was nothing wrong with the way I had set the software up... it was just that the Belkin card had been specially modified to use only the school's wireless service.

Therefore, I went to Amazon and ordered a new Motorola 802.11gp wireless card to go along with the new router. Once it arrived, after a relatively short time period setting up the software, the new Motorola router and card were up and running. Moral of the story... although it is possible to use a mix, it will save you a lot of time and heartache if you use the same BRAND of wireless router and wireless card for your computers... as then the Customer Support people can easily help you if you should need them.

How the Motorola router software works, is that there is a CD that comes with the router to set it up initally on your computer. Then after the "basic" setup, the CD software directs you to a website that actually configures the security settings of the router to your personal home use/needs. Therefore, I strongly suggest that once you have set-up the basic CD software, you go through the UserGuide step by step to make sure you have your Security Settings how you want them. There are also several additonal features you may/maynot be interested in, for instance, you can set-up a gaming machine like XBOX to work wirelessly through the router. And there is a Parental Control setup if you want it for children. Also, there are 4 hardwire connection ports on the router, so you can have 4 different computers/printers/etc. to use the same Internet connection, if you don't want to use wireless cards.

The Motorola wireless card is very similar in easy basic software setup, with a CD that comes with it for installation. Although I would suggest installing the card software before setting-up the router, I don't remember the card software directing you to an Internet website... just the router.

Hope this helps!
