Creative Zen Micro 5 GB

2 years ago, the "craze" was to have an ipod mini....or anything made my Apple. However, i wanted to try something different, something that wasnt made by Apple, but still looked "cool". So i decided that i wanted an mp3 player made by Creative. After wanting this for ages...my parents finally decided to get me one for my birthday, and what a birthday present it was! Knowing nothing at all about capacity or anything, my brother told me the specification, which made it even more brilliant! The Zen Micro has 5GB capacity - so it can hold up to 2500 songs in wma format and 1250 in mp3 format, but at the moment i havent used all of ...  Read the complete review

Creative Zen Micro The Creative Zen Micro is a hard drive mp3 player not a flash memory player like the smaller light weight mp3 players. This allows it to hold a lot more music but a hard disc by a spinning metal plate with a pin that reads it that has to stay a hundredth of a cm above the player which does mean it is not the most jog proof player out there. If you want something you want to do excessive continual exercise with go for an iShuffle, not one of these or an iPod unless you want to be switching it back on a few times. An mp3 player is a device which stores music in a digital format, calling it an mp3 player is not strictly true as they ...  Read the complete review

This player was obviously released to rival the iPod Mini and I think that it does this superbly. Firstly it has 5GB worth of memory compared to the iPod’s mere 4GB, that’s 20% more songs that you can put on. Not only that, but its battery life also far outweighs that of the iPod Mini by a factor of 2. Hard Drive It must be noted that this MP3 player is a hard drive player and so I wouldn’t recommend it to someone wanting to go jogging with it due to the possibility of damaging it. However the player itself is 5GB in size which can, on average hold 2000 songs (using a combination of various bitrates of wmas and mp3s). This pretty much amounts ...  Read the complete review

It really annoyed me when about 5 months after buying this product that a 6GB version came out at around the same price. To be frank, this product sits on a shelf gathering dust in my room. The low battery life really ticked me off, as I would sit down to get on with some work at home with a bit of music on my Zen Micro to listen to and then NOTHING. I find that despite charging the darn thing two days ago my battery has run out. This began to get annoying and so now I just use my computer to listen to the music that was on there. I had to return this after ONE DAY when I found that the whole memory, through no fault of my own, kept wiping when I ...  Read the complete review
