Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen Micro 5 GB MP3 Player Pink
Digital camera Review: Vinyl to 8 track to cassette to total Zen!
Summary: 5 Stars
This middle aged woman is love, love, loving this new toy. It's now my favorite battery operated thing in my house! %-) This baby is so intuitive to use. I already have 80+ cds in it and just love the easy use. I have sub lists set up for songs that lift my spirit, cardio lists for the bike at the gym, a list of love songs about my partner, and my very own ultimate recovery list. I love that I can have it randomly play music by category too. It's like my own personal radio without ads. BTW I chose pink because I just knew my 15 year old son wouldn't be caught dead carrying a pink mp3 player.
I have already used it while cleaning the house, running errands, shopping, working in the yard, at the gym, traveling. I'm just waiting to see the tv ads of the middle agers embracing this technology. I could write the ads for them.
Thanks Creative!
Digital camera Review: Way better than the iPod
Summary: 4 Stars
I got the Creative Zen Micro about 3 months ago in pink and love it. I used to have an iPod and hated it. This is much better. The FM radio is an added bonus. And its tiny and the blacklight is amazing. I currently have 1,152 songs on it. I would suggest downloading Napster To-Go for new songs, its less than $15 a month for unlimited downloads (much better than $1 for a song at itunes), and once you download the song it automatically transfers to the mp3 player. I esp love the fact you can make a playlist as you go so you dont have to keep chaning to the song you want.
The only things i dont love are: the earbuds (quite uncomfortable, i bought a new pair), dies a bit quickly, it takes forever to scroll (sometimes i get it to go if i hold it, other times i have to keep scrolling), and maybe its just mine with alot of songs, but it takes awhile when you click to go to the next song, go back, or for the song to start playing.
Overall i love this product and highly recommend it!
Digital camera Review: Zen Has Amazing Sound
Summary: 4 Stars
I think that the Creative Zen is a great deal for its money. It is so easy to use. I currently have an Ipod and purchased the Zen for my aunt. I am so jealous of the sound quality of the Zen as compared to the Ipod. Also the Zen is so user friendly. The only thing that I find wrong with the Zen is that it does tend to lock up sometimes. This can be fixed by taking out the battery and putting it back in, no big deal. I would recommend the Zen to EVERYONE!Digital camera Review: Zen Micro is Awesome; Not So for Creative Explorer
Summary: 4 Stars
The Zen Micro is an excellent piece of machinery. I love the cool color and the bright lighting. The menus are easy to navigate and the touchpad feature is fantastic (especially when you use the "clicker" feature that allows you to hear a click upon touching the pad). My only complaint about the "hardware" is the FM feature. The headphone cord doubles as an antenna. As of yet, the antenna has only picked up one station (and even then it was not clear reception). Overall, the hardware is great.
HOWEVER!!! The Creative Organizer software is not so hot. It is virtually impossible to decipher any rhyme or reason with respect to its set-up. The Creative Organizer is not intuitive and it feels like you are endlessly wandering through a maze when trying to find albums, playlists, etc. While the Zen plays Windows Media Audio files, the Zen does not appear to very compatible with Windows Media Player. Specifically, I have not yet been able (after playing around with this for WEEKS) to get my playlists to show up on the Zen from Windows Media Player. I have to manually recreate everything in the Creative Organizer.
I highly recommend the Zen Micro--however, the Zen Organizer software is very poorly designed and not-user friendly.
Digital camera Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
i was wary of buying this player because of what some other people said about it. but i needed an mp3 player (can't deal with CD's anymore) and the specs on this one seemed pretty nice, plus the fact that it comes in pink (awesome). i recieved it the other day and am completely impressed with it. the scroll pad is NOT too sensitive and works better than i expected. the sound quality is amazing and, of course, the removable battery is a plus. the software it comes with is comprehensible, as are the menus on the player. did i mention how pretty it is? overall awesome player so far. highly recommended.
