hey ive just bought a creative zen micro.

Looked through the manual but it says sweet all so I thought id post my question here.

How the **** do you download files from your comp onto your zen?
Im in the creative mediasource organizer and It doesnt show any options to download,it only says burn to CD??

(yes it is connected to my USB)

Can anyone help me?

Hmm_Messiah

Just got one myself (well got one and had it replaced)

In organiser the zen micro should be showing on right side of window, if not click VIEW and select it
then when you have albums/tracks in the main window there are two arrow icons between th windows one moves onto your zen, one moves off it back to your library.


any other problems feel free to pm / msn me

would do screen shots but on work pc

when i press burn all its says is no CD/RW is detected you have not connected your CD/RW etc...

If you've installed the software correctly and the zen's hooked up to your computer then open windows explorer and you should see it on the bottom left somewhere (in the left pane). Just clicky and follow the instructions.

Hmm_Messiah

SpAcEd OuT

Is that what your looking at? Minus all the songs of course, select your mp3 player in top left box, then select import tracks (highlighted) and then just select all the songs you want through the new window that pops up.

SpAcEd OuT

cant really make it out but thats exactly what I have infront of me screen except instead of copy to zen it says to CD

Vikings

Where are you getting copy to zen from? Highlight your mp3 player in the "sources" window to the top left, then choose "import tracks".

Forget about burning, stay away from that.

SpAcEd OuT

theres no mp3 player option theres is an import option clicked it but im browsing through my documents,my computer etc. and I cant find where my music files are?

Hello,
I have had my zen micro since Christmas. Personally I dont like the creative software as I also had problems with it. My advice would be to download windows media player 10;

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx

All you have to do is rip the cds you want with the "rip" facility and then right click the songs you want to transfer and select add to sync list.

I have never looked back since.

Hope this helps.

If wmp doesnt detect your player then your problems in either the player or the connection ie. cable or usb slot.

SpAcEd OuT

you my friend are a genious i owe you one.

Thanks to all that replied i appreciate it.

SpAcEd OuT

**** i thought it was working

yeah i sycronized all my files to the device (it completed 100%)
then i checked my zen and no files had been added (yes its connected)

WTF?

CrimE

:eek: that is weird.

are you sure the safe to connect logo had appeared on the screen??

if it had i suggest a reformat of your zen then install most up to date firmware.

reformat by: sliding off cover, take the battery out and hold power switch to on then as its held to on reinsert battery. select format.

then go to : http://ie.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?Product_ID=10795&Product_Name=Creative+Zen+Micro&DriverLang=1033&OS=10&DriverType=4&sOSName=Windows+XP&details=0

choose Creative Zen Micro Firmware 1.02.05.

then try wmp10 again.

What happens?

SpAcEd OuT

ah got it now.

have to agree with zens software being pretty complicated.

SpAcEd OuT

thanks for the help I wouldnt have been able to figure it out myself.

CrimE

No problem at all. The zen is really a good player but the software is a little poor. :rolleyes:

Other than that though it is an excellent player.

best of luck with it. Any more problems feel free to ask
