    Not an iPod but still Amazing

    By Jinjo  Mar 5, 2006 | 5 out of 6 found this Creative Zen Micro Photo 8 GB review helpful

    Pros: Replacable battery, FM tuner, Vibrant colors

    Cons: Sometimes slow start up time, Software is ridiculously unreliable

    The zen microphoto looks amazingly sleek. I love the way that it fits in my hand, unlike an iPod, which is admittedly uber-sleek, does not fit well into the hands of most. I also thuroughl enjoy having a bright blue player that happily throbs a light...ed blue backlight when it is charging or when viewing the superbly colorful screen. The music plays like a dream and sounds great. Many different playback modes make even a small collection of music seem fresh and exciting. I also really appreciate the FM tuner, it is a great way to never run out of new music! The photo part of this player is really more of an added bonus than a full feature. Pictures, though delightfully colorful, get kind of blurred when viewed in the limited space of the micro's screen. You can't listen to music and look at photos at the same time, a natural inclination for many of us. Otherwise it's pretty cool to be able to have a picture of my friends and I as my backgorund, but that's about where the functionality stops. The software bundled with the micro took forever to install. I had to eventually quit the installation, as it was hanging on trying to install a new version of Windows Media Player. Take that as a sign of the softwares performance as well. Most of the time when I go to transfer songs to my player using the provided software, the software hangs indefintely saying "loading device..." In that time I can browse the files on my player through windows explorer, create the laborious 'new music' playlist in windows media player and then add that list to my player all before the Creative software even wakes up to do its job. That part is very frustrating, but if you don't mind waiting and/or using other software then you are set! Read more Less

    Don't buy this product

    By Sabrina  Jun 7, 2007 | 2 out of 3 found this Creative Zen Micro Photo 8 GB review helpful

    Pros: Great sound quality and many features

    Cons: Problem with headphone jack, short service warranty, and short battery time

    I had this product for about 4 months when I started having problems with the sound. The right headphone sound was cutting out unless I pressed on the right of the display screen. I checked google and found out there are many people having the same p...roblems and it is because of a defective headphone jack. Unfortunately, the labor and services part of the warranty is only 3 months, so to get it fixed I need to send a $25 labor fee along with the cost to ship it for the service. Then if they replace the part, it may still develop the same problem in a few months. I had really like this player before this happened, but it is not worth the problem and bad warranty. My advice, get a player with one year parts AND labor warranty. Read more Less

    "Creative ZEN Micro Photo (8GB, gray)"

    The Creative Zen Micro Photo is an excellent full-featured MP3 player and, for its size, a decent photo viewer; it just doesn't combine the two effectively. Read more
