I assume most people writing reviews on here have just recieved their players. I was as stoked as they were when I first got my hands on my new Creative Zen Micro. The sound is great, it stores a good amount, was pretty cheap, and looked sweet.Fast foward about a year. The player is chips and faded. The lights barely work. The battery is almostunresponsive to charges.But, the MAIN PROBLEM is with the headphone jack. The sound is echoey, sometimes just plays music, sometimes just voices. You have to hold the player at ludacris angles and press on the headphone plug to get the sound to work. MY FRIEND HAS ONE AND GO IT A LITTLE BEFORE ME, AND HASTHE SAME PROBLEM!DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. IT IS FAULTY. IF YOU PURCHASE IT YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE...AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME YOU WILL FIND OUT.It's very hard to explain this universal problem, but trust me, it renders the device painfully unusable and annoying. Don't buy it.
