***Creative Zen Micro 5GB***

Advantages: Easy to use, Nice colour, Excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: Battery life, Charging

...This little MP3 Is wicked. One of my friends first purchased this MP3 Player and when I first saw it I was really impressed with it. I then went onto the creative website and was looking about purchaseing on for myself. I was amazed with all of the colours you could buy e.g. Orange, White, Pink, Blue, Green but out of all these colours I went for the Blue one. It cost me about £150.00 That was including P&P. It came in the post about 7 days later. I first opened it and tunred it on and I was amazed at how easy to use and the range of features it has this was all before I even plugged the head phones into the unit. When I did this I was thrilled at how good the music quality was. The only bad point that I didnt know until I brought the unit was that you have to charge it through the computer but this problem can easilty be solved...

Creative Zen Micro 5GB

Advantages: Great sound quality, cool features, micro-sized
Disadvantages: Poor build quality, rubbish battery life

...The Creative Zen Micro is a pretty cool MP3 player for the price (£140ish at the moment) Its a nice size (just over 3" tall and 2" wide!!), very easy to use, and looks good! It has: 5GB of memory (about 1250 mp3s at 128 kbs) Radio, address book and microphone. Unfortunately, the radio is not very clear without being in a place with a good signal, which is not many places with the zen. When I recieved the zen, I was very pleased with the player. The software is fairly good and easy to use. The blue backlight is ultra cool and it pulses when it is charging or syncing with the PC. It has a very good sound quality, more defined than the other Creative MP3 players, The vertical touchpad is great, but takes getting used to. However, you have to put up with a battery life of 2.5 hours max, not the promised 12 hours...

Creative Zen Micro

Advantages: Radio, Small and compact, value for money
Disadvantages: touch sensitive pad can be difficult to get used to

...After deciding I wanted an MP3 player I spent a lot of time looking into various other makes, i river (friend in work bought this and it broke after a month), i pod, phillips but I opted for this after seeing one in action. It is a fantastic size and easily fits into your pocket or bag. It has a 5 gb memory which I still haven't fully used, so more than nough memory for me. One of the main reasons I opted for this was because it has a radio. Sometimes you get bored listening to your own music and a bit of variety is good. The radio works well but have found problems with this when travelling on a bus and the journey is not so smooth, can become fuzzy and better off sticking with your own music on the mp3 player. Works fine when you're stationery and not being banged about. I was lucky enough to get the limited edition box which was...

smooth criminal - zen micro!

Advantages: size, design and battery life and cheap!
Disadvantages: more accessories needed, sensitivity of scroll

...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 the capacity up yet. Size: 3.3" x 2" x 0.7" - Zen Micro This compared with the ipod mini is 0.3" shorter in length, but just a little bit fatter. Weight : this let the player down a bit. I find it...

Zen Micro -Better Than The Ipod Mini?

Advantages: Small, Light, Stylish, 2 batteries, All Accessories Included!
Disadvantages: None as yet

...The new MP3 player from Creative Labs - Zen Micro. And that, is what it is exactly. An exremely small MP3 Player with attitude to suit. LOOKS At first impression, the look of this machine is stunning. The player is surrounded by a mesmorising blue light making it a joy to use. The capacity is 5GB, storing around 1000 of your favourite songs, and if you get bored of listening to your own music, there's also a built in radio with 32 presets available. The player is available in 10 different colours, silver being the most popular right now. Colours include; black, orange, red, yellow, blue, light blue, pink, green, purple, silver. Going for a slightly 'IPOD' look is found when your turn the player over to discover that the back is bright white, although it looks good, I'm not so sure it will stay that colour for long...

Creative Zen Micro

Advantages: big lcd screen
Disadvantages: expensive

...Creative's software is still somewhat clunky (but Windows Media Player 10 saves the day). Fringe FM reception is weak. Small and stylish player. Bright screen, excellent audio performance, and interesting extras (such as Outlook synchronization).The Zen Micro is the first small player to offer a serious challenge to the iPod Mini. It delivers an outstanding collection of features at an attractive price. Creative has bested its own Zen Touch by making the entire front control surface of the Zen Micro touch-sensitive, with the vertical scrolling area dominant in the center. In the Zen Touch, the vertical touch pad seemed like a desperate attempt to be as cool as the iPod; here, it's fully integrated, and the user interface is very pleasant. You can set the sensitivity of the pad to three levels. Low worked best for us, since the pad...

creative zen micro.

Advantages: micro, fits a good amount of songs on, hardwearing,
Disadvantages: small screen, battery life is not good

...To me this 5GB MP3 Player is a very adequate piece of equipment. It may not be brand new technology, it may not have a colour screen or the ability to upload pictures/ videos on but it is perfect just to listen to music on, and i found the colour very nice and bold. It is easy to use, as it has only 6 touchscreen buttons, the centre one strokes up and down to scroll through your lists of music. It also has a bright blue backlight incase you're listening in the dark and so the screen is very easily to see. However, it is said to be able to uphold upto 3,000 songs, however mine was full after 1,100. Although this is still a vast amount of songs, as a music lover it is not enough for me. It does depend on how large the GB of the songs is. I had to take off older songs to upload new songs onto it, which is good for people who like...

Zen and the Art of Creative MP3 Players

Advantages: Fits in your pocket, Display Screen
Disadvantages: Sensitive Touch Pad

...reduced the quality of some tracks that were large files. This I find to be plenty of room. The memory size is 5GB and should really be enough for your average punter. So what do I think? The Creative Zen Micro is a really cute little thing. It comes in a variety of front colours although the back is white, probably to look a bit like an iPod. The player is comfortably weighty, you won't forget you have it on you at anytime and therefore you should notice if someone were to lift it from you pocket. For those of you who need specifics the player is about the length of your finger by about ½ a finger wide, not specific I know but who carries a ruler around with them all the time? The player is backlit by a neon blue light that comes on when you press any buttons, the light does dim however after a time of inactivity. It does take...

Zen Micro MP3 Player

Advantages: Small, great looks, compatible with most formats
Disadvantages: Touch screen a little to fiddly

.... The Creative Zen Micro is one of the smallest players on the market; it's smaller than an Ipod but still large enough to be usable. It will fit comfortably in a shirt pocket if you wanted to. I use mine in the car so the size isn't so relevant. The player is about the size of a small mobile phone. Whenever I show the device in public it catches people eye. . Features The player is available in various capacity sizes; however, at this time (July 2005) most stores are only carrying the 5Gb. model at about £150. This is adequate for most uses. Ease of use, the player has a very simple text based menu system which makes the most used features, such as play album, play artist, and play track available very easily. Access to the menus is via a touch sensitive panel on the front of the player. Each button is large enough for a thumb or finger...
