5gb Zen Micro MP3 Player White
The Zen Micro mp3 player from Creative Labs packs an incredible 5 GB of storage capacity into a shell small enough to sit comfortably in your jeans pocket. It also rides nicely in your hand, with a palm-fitting profile and thumb-friendly front-panel controls.
It’s a bit shorter than an Apple iPod Mini, yet its rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides 12 hours of continuous playback–50 percent more than iPod Mini’s. The Zen Micro is compatible not merely with MP3s and WAV files, but with WMA as well. Toss in USB 2.0 connectivity and you’re looking at one spiffy portable music player.
I REALLY like the fact it has a radio, it was a big selling point to me as I listen to a lot of talk-radio during the day. I was leary of the iPod because of it’s battery changing problem (you have to send it back to Apple). Don’t know if it is the same deal with the Zen Micro, but I hope not.
Only gripe is I have to charge it via the USB cable, there is no seperate power adapter (that I can see). I tried to charge it with a lap-top that did not have the Zen software installed, and it did not charge! Even when I left it overnight. I don’t understand why it didn’t charge. Having the software installed shouldn’t make a difference between Zen and other mp3 players.
