Customer Reviews:

bought this for a family member who loves it.......2007-01-18

their favorite color is purple too so they are loving it. The performance of it is good. It was missing the charger so I had to buy it - was told by seller that creative no longer includes it in their packages and suggested I use the plug it came with that attaches to the computer to charge up. That took forever. I bought the charger at the creative website since it charges up faster using that. Would highly recommend for someone who likes music but doesn't have a huge collection. It holds roughly about 1,000 songs.

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 purple 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 on 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.

I cannot think of a better way to send Greetings to friends. Burlington Card Kits make it so easy. The paper is already pre-folded with properly sized envelopes. And what quality! The best part about this product is that it's so much cheaper, more fun and quite creative! Great for projects with kids!

Sonecor headset/hands free telephones.......2002-03-07

I work for a Virtual Call Center, and a hands-free telephone is a must. This has proven to be THE most reliable equipment I have found. Features such as volume control, flexibility of the headset and mute button are wonderful. The only drawback that I can find is the headset is fragile. My equipment doesn't get proper care, (too many cats) and the headset doesn't last as it should. The dial pad will wear forever. I highly reccomend (sp?) this set. Just be careful with the junction of the microphone and the headset itself, that plastic piece breaks easily.

What is a Category 5e patch cable? Think of it as the street that links the house on your block and all the destinations in town. In actuality, it's a cable used to connect all the hardware destinations in a Local Area Network (LAN). The RJ45 Cat 5e patch is perfect for use with 10/100/1000 Base-T networks.

Doesn't work - can't return.......2006-12-20

I bought one of these and it didn't work at all in my HP printer. Since I didn't try it until past the Amazon return date, I'm out everything I paid. No more cartridge purchases from Amazon.

Who cares if it's not an hp item?.......2005-04-03

Does it really matter if it is or isn't an hp item? It's cheap and the quality is just as good. ITS AN EXCELLENT PRICE. I do agree though, it was wrong for this refilled item to pop up in the HP section, but it's obviously not an hp original product so why does anyone care. If you actually read any of the description you would see before buying it that it's not an original! IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT YOU WERE FOOLED, NOT AMAZON'S!!!

Not HP Product.......2003-09-23

I ordered as it came up as an HP product. Beware-it is a refilled cartridge, and Amazon will charge you for returning it.

Not original, and refilled too.......2003-04-24

I agree with the other reviewer -- this is NOT
an HP Inkjet cartridge. It doesn't look like the
picture, and it says it's a "refilled" unit.
If I wanted a refilled one, I could have gotten
it a lot cheaper elsewhere. The only good thing
I can say is it came with a prepaid envelope for
recycling the old cartridge (which they will
presumably refill and sell to somebody else!)

Don't Be Fooled.......2002-09-25

This is not an original HP Printer cartridge. It is a knockoff instead. Don't be fooled and think that you are getting an original HP manufactured cartridge. You are not. Order from HP's site and at least you will get the product you want.
