Creative Zen Micro
Navigation System
Navigation in the Zen Micro has been greatly improved. In fact, it works similarly to the iPod.
The water animation is shown, followed by the words Zen Micro, which was too fast to capture. Startup time was less than two seconds, which is very impressive.
The main menu.
Music Library is where you will search for songs.
Everything is straightforward enough. Selecting Albums, for example, will list the albums.
You can either press "Play" to play the album, or "Select" to list the songs in the album. Pressing "Select" once more will bring up an option to "Play" or "Add to Selected".
Another interesting feature is the DJ.
If you are at a loss at what to listen to, this menu would come in useful. Unfortunately, the Zen Micro still does not have the ability to rate songs on the player (which the iPod does), otherwise it would have been even better to have a "Top rated songs" in the DJ.
Next is the "Now Playing" screen.
Using the "Options" button brings up the following menu.
This is another interesting thing: "Lookup Artist". Selecting this will show all albums by the artist you are currently listening to.
Also in the "Options" is "View Details".
I noticed it does not show the bitrate of the track.
"Play Mode" is obvious enough, and contains the usual modes.
Next we come to the FM Radio.
Pressing the "Options" button.
Renaming a preset.
