i also like the fact that you can edit your mp3 titles , etc . | 1 | 900 |
after comparing the included creative earbuds directly against my sony md-e828lp 's and sennheiser mx-400 's , i find myself still using the creative 's , which in my opinion , sound every bit as good and have a slightly longer cord . | 1 | 901 |
perhaps i bought the micro to be different , the cheaper price tag ( from amazon ) , the design , or avoiding the high ipod theft in nyc subways . | 1 | 902 |
whichever it may be , i 'm happy i 've made this purchase . | 1 | 903 |
when i opened the box , i was shocked by the size of this thing . . . it 's tiny ! . | 1 | 904 |
it 's shorter , sleeker , more compact and fits comfortably in my small hand than the ipod . . . my nokia cell phone towers over this bad boy ! . | 1 | 905 |
the interface has a sassier flair and the blue-lit trimming is an added bonus . | 1 | 906 |
moving on to sound department . . . it delivers ! . | 1 | 907 |
there are extra features packed inside this unit ( some that most will hardly ever use ) such as fm radio tuner , voice recorder , calendar , and alarm clock . | 1 | 908 |
speaking of battery , it 's removable and replaceable ! . | 1 | 909 |
overall , the micro is a solid device and i haven 't fell into a problem with it yet *knocks on wood* . | 1 | 910 |
transferring music is a breeze . i don 't subscribe to music services , but as mentioned on other reviews , micro allows you to subscribe to services other than itunes . | 1 | 911 |
it may not top the ipod mini , but it 's definitely an alternative if you also want the extra features and good sound quality . | 1 | 912 |
strong points : - design : small , comfortable , curved , and stylish . | 1 | 913 |
colors : 10 variety of hot colors made it difficult to choose from . | 1 | 914 |
you don 't need to cough up an extra couple bucks for a " special edition " to get black ! . - sound : awesome ! . - batteries : removable/replaceable . | 1 | 915 |
- audio formats : supports both mp3 , wma . . . and yeah , wav too . | 1 | 916 |
you do get 1 more gb than an ipod mini . | 1 | 917 |
this product is amazing and better than the ipod you can get at the same price . | 1 | 918 |
the 4g ipod costs the same as this 5g zen micro . | 1 | 919 |
it also has a voice recorder and fm radio that you can only get on an ipod if you but an adapter seperately . | 1 | 920 |
creative did an awesome job with the design . | 1 | 921 |
the headphones have great sound and durability and mine came with some extras when i bought it ( a stand , a belt hook , charger ) that i know doesn 't come with every one . | 1 | 922 |
i have the black one and adore it . | 1 | 923 |
it looks nice and sleek and the blue background light looks awesome against the black . | 1 | 924 |
i bought my zen micro three months ago mainly because i preferred the size and style to the ipod mini . | 1 | 925 |
overall , i 've been very impressed with the player . | 1 | 926 |
i 've had almost no problems with the firmware ( ie , lock-ups , shut-downs etc ) , but i have kept the player up to date . | 1 | 927 |
i 'm not sure whether this is related to the charge cycle of its li-ion battery , the better firmware , or a combination of both factors . | 1 | 928 |
i imagine if i left my player untouched ( no backlight ) it could play for considerably more than 12 hours at a low volume level . | 1 | 929 |
one of my favorite features about the player is its ability to sync to windows media player . | 1 | 930 |
its just as fast as the included creative software , but much less invasive , and overall better looking . | 1 | 931 |
the touchpad is great once you get used to it , and i much prefer it to standard buttons or scroll wheels ( as on the dell dj for example ) . | 1 | 932 |
they are sensitive and accurate ( perhaps too accurate , it senses through t-shirt cloth , but the touchpad can be locked ) , but easy to clean , unlike buttons . | 1 | 933 |
also , the touchpad seems to be waterproof to some degree . | 1 | 934 |
its ability to record radio is useful as well , but would have been more so if it could be preset . | 1 | 935 |
the player looks great , feels great , and sounds great . | 1 | 936 |
so far it has been very durable ( other than the little pads on the earbuds ) , but those aren 't really necessary as i find them comfortable on their own . | 1 | 937 |
they also sound excellent compared to other earbuds including retail sets like panasonic's and sennheisers . | 1 | 938 |
i 've dropped the device several times onto hard surfaces , and it still works flawlessly . | 1 | 939 |
this year , it seems that i choose my timing perfectly , having discovered the awesome device that is the zen micro . | 1 | 940 |
everything that i have listed above , the zen has , and more . | 1 | 941 |
the menus are easy to scroll through ; . they are laid out naturally , and make sense . | 1 | 942 |
the computer interface is 90% good , only losing points due to the fact that " creative " branding is all over the place within it . | 1 | 943 |
songs transfer lightning fast , and the two batteries that came in my box give me 24 hours of listen time . | 1 | 944 |
on the fly play list creation , address book , removable storage drive capabilities , sound recorder , the list goes on people , this thing is literally so chalked full of goodies , it was like halloween all over again . | 1 | 945 |
so far i have used all of the above-mentioned features , and find them well designed , and easy to understand . | 1 | 946 |
that 's it for now , what are you doing still reading this , click the " add to cart " button already ! . | 1 | 947 |
right out of the box , i loved it , better features than the ipod , great sound quality and no limitations on what music sources i can use . | 1 | 948 |
so , i was one who was ready to give it 5 stars with no complaints at all . | 1 | 949 |
original review december 2004 i 'm sorry to read about other people having problems with their zen micro , but mine has worked great ! . | 1 | 950 |
this is my first mp3 player and i am so impressed with what such a small device can do . | 1 | 951 |
i have ripped over 100 songs from my cd collection and it was so easy and fast , and they all sound great . | 1 | 952 |
i love that you can create custom playlists , and organize music in so many different ways . | 1 | 953 |
i love my dark blue zen micro and would definitely recommend it . | 1 | 954 |
the fm tuner , the 5g of storage , and the removable disk are all great features . | 1 | 955 |
the fit and finish of the product is first-rate . | 1 | 956 |
overall , i am very pleased with it . | 1 | 957 |
the more i use it and figure out how to do things , the more i like it . | 1 | 958 |
before you run out and buy an ipod , understand something : there are reasons the zen is worth encountering this kind of hassle , principally excellent ( for mp3 ) sound quality . | 1 | 959 |
the supplied headphones are hands-down better than the mediocre ipod buds . | 1 | 960 |
the player is smaller than you think . | 1 | 961 |
bottom line : if you value excellent sound quality and the ability to use music subscription services , and are willing to deal with the possibility ( not the certainty ) of setup gremlins , by all means get the zen micro . | 1 | 962 |
the zen micro is near perfect . | 1 | 963 |
it 's still alive , still kicking , and still playing . | 1 | 964 |
the zen micro ( mine 's black ) has a lot going for it . | 1 | 965 |
it fits into a hand well , it has a removable battery ( this is important ) , great sound quality , fm stereo , recorder , smooth ui , and a feature that most uni pods lack . . . char ! . | 1 | 966 |
the accessories that come with the player are great . | 1 | 967 |
white earbuds ( i replaced those with some shire headphones , big difference ) , a case , a stand , a clip ( which doesn 't really work ) , and a nice little zen micro bag . | 1 | 968 |
best in class . | 1 | 969 |
it gives you the most bang for your buck , period . | 1 | 970 |
creative has been making computer sound equipment for decades and with the zen micro it finally has something with enough quality and , yes , charm to win a nice size of the digital player pie . | 1 | 971 |
pick your favorite color and buy it . | 1 | 972 |
pros the design is very nice , and the colors are too . | 1 | 973 |
it also has tons more features then previous creative products , and most of them are very useful such as the ability to customize the main menu to show the stuff you want , not the default items ( creative labs . com for more on that ) . | 1 | 974 |
the battery is also convenient , but could have been better , such as the zen touch 's battery ( but at least this one is removable ) . | 1 | 975 |
if you don 't mind all the buttons being touch sensitive , i 'd re comment buying it to try out , and also buy an extra 2 year warranty for it ( there are some offered here , for about $15 dollars i think ) . | 1 | 976 |
anyway , my wife got this for me for my birthday and i love the thing . | 1 | 977 |
the program is called nomad and works great for me and seems to cover all the features the included windows software does . | 1 | 978 |
+looks snazzy +smaller than a pack of smokes - easily transported +ac charger included as well as a hard shell that comes with a clip and a stand adapter +usb cable ! . | 1 | 979 |
+battery life is awesome if you upgrade the firmware [requires a windows pc] or make sure to always plug the ac adapter into the player before plugging into the outlet +awesome sound quality . . . i mean it is creative right ? . | 1 | 980 |
+sorts music by artist , album , genre , etc . . . it 's easy to wade through 5 gigs of tunes to find what you 're looking for . | 1 | 981 |
but since it 's so small , it isn 't a big deal to bring it with me . | 1 | 982 |
overall though , i 'm very happy with it and highly recommend it to folks looking for a mp3 player , even if it is to pretend your not a brain dead consumer giving into the marketing hype of the ipod . ; . ) | 1 | 983 |
i finally decided to purchase this player because it was compatible with napster 2 go . . . . which is a subscription service , allowing me to download as much music as i want for a $14 . 95 flat fee . | 1 | 984 |
and i must say . . . this mp3 is very cool . | 1 | 985 |
it 's so cute . . . and behind the black panel it glows in a neon blue . | 1 | 986 |
after installation , which was very simple . . . . i downloaded any updated software from the creative website , before i downloaded any music . | 1 | 987 |
the sound is very nice . | 1 | 988 |
i also like the lock feature , so it makes the touch pad inactive . | 1 | 989 |
otherwise , i am extremely please with the creative zen micro 5gb mp3 player . | 1 | 990 |
however after playing with it for three weeks now , i 'm convinced , the zen micro is superior . | 1 | 991 |
i think sound quality should be the first and foremost feature , and the zen is leaps and bounds better in sound quality , with no need to upgrade the earphones . | 1 | 992 |
i thought the fm radio would not see much use with so many tracks available to me , but its great for tuning in to tv programs at the gym while on the treadmill , concerts and programs being simulcast , npr , and on and on . | 1 | 993 |
mine is as easy to use as the mini without any firmware download . | 1 | 994 |
its also smaller , and gets more looks . | 1 | 995 |
an extra gig of room , fm radio , voice recorder , pim applications with sync to outlook . | 1 | 996 |
this is really a no brain er . | 1 | 997 |
i purchased this over the ipod mini because it had several nice features : extra 1g storage , wma support , replaceable battery , and especially that it wasn 't an apple product with their proprietary architecture . | 1 | 998 |
better for the zen micro is outlook compatibility . | 1 | 999 |
