Home > Consumer Reviews > Creative Zen Micro 6GB MP3 Player - Red

The creative zen micro 6gb Red has a decent storage capacity of around 3000 songs it has a decent battery life of around 12 hours but sadly there are better battery lifes around. The unit is very easy to navigate with a vertical touch pad. It has an fm radio built in with which you can program up to 32 preset stations. Unfortunatly if you are buying this over others just for the fm radio don't creative fm radios are flawed and give barely audible sound. On the upside however the unit comes with a built in voice recorder, a personal organiser and of course a random shuffle play to listen back your music. The software that comes with the creative is easy to use but in my opinion not as good as apples itunes. In the box you will get a creative zen micro, earphones, usb2 cable, installation software and a lithium ion battery but no charger or wired remote so charging only available through usb2 however charger available at extra cost a remote control is also available seperatly . I recommend this unit as on mp3 playback the unit sounds exceptional but i do have issues such as i feel the fm radio is flawed and the unit is just slightly to bulky to fit in your pocket comfartably and their are hidden costs with the missing accs. Regarding the battery life i reccomend that if you are going to buy the creative zen micro, then i reccomend that you buy a spare battery so that you can raplace it on the go to double your battery life. If you can over look what are minor flaws in a good quality easy to use mp3 player then i reccomend this unit thouroughly.

This was one of my best buys of the last few years. It has great quality and will take almost all sound files. (only one out of about 700 files didn't work on it)
It is useful for just about anything and the battery can last a whole day without needing a charge, as in from 8 am til about 6pm.
only one problem i had, the first one i got the sound plug went a bit odd a few hours into using it due to a dodgy earthing connection.
I would recommend this to anyone and its much better than a ipod.

I bought this Mp3 player after doing hours of research.When it arrived i was very pleased.The machine is quite small.I found it very easy to use.The good thing was that i could use the Media Player already installed on my computer.Alot of the ones i looked at wanted you to install a seperate version.The touch pad can be a bit sensitive but to me it was just the same as the IPODs version.So far i have forty four albums on mine and there is still a huge amount of space left.

i don't have one but i really want one of these i dont know wy every body want's ipod's who would listen to 10,000 songs all the time?
