Downlaod Mp3 Music - Immediatly Mp3 download

If you are one of the many owners of a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player and having problems making it work in Windows Vista, this guide will help you get it connected. Despite what I've read on some message boards, the Zen Micro will work with Windows Vista, but it will have very limited functionality compared to what you could do with it in Windows XP. Creative hasn't made too much of an effort to correct the problem, either.

This guide will show you how to make Windows Vista recognize your Creative Zen Micro, as well as explain how to copy music onto it and display correctly in the player. It's going to be a lot more hassle than what you're used to, but it's still better than buying a new MP3 player.

First, to even get Vista to recognize your Zen Micro, you will need to upgrade it to the current firmware version of 2.21.02, which can be downloaded from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/.

Here's the bad news:
1. You can only upgrade the firmware from a Windows XP machine.
2. Upgrading the firmware requires you to erase the entire drive, meaning you'll have to copy all your music back on it after the update.

Now that you've upgraded the firmware, connect the Zen Micro to your Windows Vista PC using the USB cable. You're system will immediately recognize it as a portable device. This is the only way to even get the thing to recharge via USB.

You know all that software you used in Windows XP that let you organize the music on the device, change file names, and so on? None of it works in Windows Vista. Creative has a few programs you can download that supposedly work in Vista, but they wouldn't even recognize my player.

The only way I could get MP3 file copying to work was if I did it manually, as if I was copying to a portable hard drive or flash memory stick. Talk about tedious.

Furthermore, you need to make sure the ID3 tags on your MP3's are correct, because that's what the Zen Micro uses to display the file information when you go to play them. I've found the best program for editing ID3 tags is Winamp, which can be downloaded for free from www.winamp.com. In Winamp, just open the MP3, then right click on it in the playlist menu and choose View File Info. Make sure the Artist, Album, Track Number, and Title are all correct.

If you copy some MP3's to your Zen Micro and they don't show up in the Music Library when you try to listen to them, it means the ID3 tags are either incorrect or just blank. If you had to erase the drive in order to upgrade the firmware, good luck getting all the file names correct when you re-upload all your music.

That's pretty much it as far as making the Creative Zen Micro MP3 player work with Windows Vista. You can still make it work, but it's going to be a lot more effort on your part, especially when you want to add new music. If you've found a better way, please let me know!

The Creative Zen X-Fi MP3 player could be the iPod killer for which you've been waiting.

When it comes to new MP3 players, the question everyone wants to know is, "Is it better than the iPod?" There has yet to be an MP3 player that has successfully challenged Apple's domination of the MP3 market with its line of iPod MP3 players-but Creative's Zen line of MP3 players comes very, very close.

Just this month, Creative launched the latest addition to its Zen mp3 player line: The Creative Zen X-Fi. At only $199 (retail price direct from the manufacturer), the Zen X-Fi is priced low enough for budget users. Surprisingly, the budget price didn't stop Creative from putting an impressive array of MP3 features into the XFi. These include both video and photo capability, as well as a wide list of MP3 player features that can't be found in the iPod: Subscription music support, an FM radio, memory card expansion, a voice recorder, better headphones, and WiFi wireless internet.

While the Creative Zen X-Fi doesn't have the iPod name, it definitely gives the iPod a run for its money. For less than the cost of the Apple iPod Nano, the Creative Zen XFi gives you double the capacity and a handful of very useful features that Apple doesn't include in its MP3 player line.

An In-Depth Technology Review of the Creative Zen X-Fi 16GB MP3 Player:

When you hold the Creative Zen X-Fi in your hand, you know it's different from any MP3 player. And it is. It's the first MP3 player in Creative's Zen line to have wireless Wi-Fi internet, and includes a dizzying array of additional features. Plus, with prices starting at $149, the Creative Zen X-Fi is Creative's best priced MP3 player.

The first thing you'll notice is the Creative Zen XFi's design, or lack of it. That's not to say it's ugly, but it's not Creative's most stylish MP3 player. The Zen F-Fi is rectangular-ish, and fits well in the palm of your hand. The first thing I noticed was its plastic casing, which feels kind of cheap. Regardless, it looks pretty slick.

The software interface within the Creative Zen X-Fi is simple and straightforward. Most people should be able to get a handle on it quite quickly. The video screen is crisp and clear, and is great for watching movies and viewing photos (which you can do while listening to music).

The Creative Zen X-Fi's true strength lies in the amount of features that Creative has managed to pack into the tiny MP3 player. There's an SD card expansion slot, perfect for transporting data from your computer to your Zen, or for expanding on the built-in memory. You can sync your Creative Zen X-Fi with Outlook on your computer, and carry your contacts and information with you. It also has wireless internet, so you can stream music actively onto your MP3 player (something that Apple should do on the iPod with the strength of the iTunes music player).

Also, as we already noted, there is a built-in recorder, subscription capabilities, a radio, and much more. The iPod, on the other hand, offers just music and video playback, making the iPod look sparse compared to the rich feature offerings of the Creative Zen XFi.

Should You Buy the Creative Zen X-Fi Instead of an iPod?

The answer: Yes. The Creative Zen X-Fi is the best 'iPod killer' we've seen to date. The Creative Zen X-Fi doesn't have the iPod's slick design, but it's not ugly by any means. It is also priced very, very competitively and should be at the top of your list if you're looking for a new MP3 player. It is the best-priced MP3 player on the current market, and gives significant value over the Apple iPod.
