Creative Zen Micro 4 GB

It was my birthday in June and I was getting excited about what I could do with the money that pours in (at a trickle) from my relatives. We had a trip to France camping coming up and I always feel that taking CD's is a bit of a waste of space in the car. On this note I decided that we should really look at purchasing and MP3 player which would enable us to take more stuff essential to camping, and more importantly bring more wine back with us :o) My search for MP3's began on Ciao and I read around a variety of reviews and asked the reviewers some questions which I needed answering. The most important question for me was 'How can I play this in my car?' but ...  Read the complete review

I have had my trust Zen Micro for about three years now, bought second hand it is very reliable and does everything you could ask of it. *Age & Battery Life* Regardless of the age of the Micro (Creative don't even manufacture them anymore!) it can still outperform many more modern MP3 players - including some of the latest iPods! The battery life beats a vast array of the latest gen iPods hands down; listening at around half volume, you can get a good nine to eleven hours playback before needing a charge. *Connections* Charging can be done either by the supplied USB cable, which requires you to leave your PC switched on, ...  Read the complete review

This product has lasted for about 5 years for me now, this is quite something when you consider that i don't treat it especially well and don't take any particular care of it. When you review any mp3 player you of course have to compare it to the ipod. I don't know anyone who's ipod has lasted 5 years, most people's batteries needed replacing (i believe it's £60), either that or their ipod just died and refused to play music. There are no such problems with the zen micro, although i represent a fairly small survey i really believe that the reliability of the zen micro is second to none. One great feature that creative have stopped including in their new ...  Read the complete review

I purchased my Creative Zen Micro around five years ago, but just had to write a review when I saw it on here because the thing is still going strong. I've never really had any trouble with it - it seems to be very well built and has taken more than a few knocks in its time with no signs of damage to its functionality. Practical and discrete, this little player can fit in any pocket, and is highly portable. It only comes with 5GB of storage which isn't really much by today's standards, but that should still easily hold around 1000 songs, which I find is plenty to keep me occupied on a long trip. Unlike Apple who insist you use iTunes, Creative are ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Creative Zen Micro because my iPod broke a few weeks ago and I could not afford to replace it. I was a bit disappointed that I would have to settle for one of these because I LOVED my iPod but when I got it in the post, charged it up and filled it up with my songs I realised I loved it. It is a fair but chunkier than my previous device but it is not a problem once you get used to it. It has touch sensitive buttons, so you can just slide your finger over it to turn the volume up or down or skip through the tracks. It is very easy to locate your favourite songs if you want to listen to something in particular, and the shuffle function is good too, which is ...  Read the complete review
