hi people

i just wanna know if this is available here? where? how much?

thanks a lot :D

[semi_charmed]

Yes, I got one. (as a gift from my boyfriend) :love:

He bought it from Abenson
128MB - around 2K-2999
512MB - around 5K

Available in white.

[yufforic]

^^ how sweet....:D

dapat pala creative mp3 players na lang nilagay ko...

how about any infos with:

>Zen Nano plus
>Muvo TX FM
>Muvo TX?

[semi_charmed]

I think those were already available here.
I remember seeing them in a flier with marked down prices.
I just can't remember which store...???

[yufforic]

thanks for answering girl...

how about.. a bf who gives mp3 players as birthday gifts?

nah.. JUST KIDDING... heehee.. i wish i could have one too..
haha.. kidding.. ang cool lang kasi..hehe

[maporms]

i suggest you go get the v200 (Muvo Chameleon, comes in a box, 1g) for 9k @ electroworld. I got mine when i sold my ipod last week coz i plan to buy a digicam but can't live without mp3. I took the v200 version since it can also act as a thumb drive where i can use it to transfer other files from here to there. Also great sound quality. A better alternative than the ipod shuffle especially if you own a pc.

OT: I'm really curious why people buy Apple's flash mp3 when they own a pc. Doesn't make sense. Apple created the Shuffle for mac users since most flash mp3's out there are for Windows only. Siguro naki-ki uso?

[armirondo]

hi peeps,,

Creative Zen Micro 5G MP3 player


2,500 songs. 5GB capacity
The size of your player shouldn't compromise the thousands of songs you want to listen to. ZEN MICRO's incredibly tiny size holds up to 2,500 songs, that's a whole weeks worth of music to enjoy and never hear the same song twice.

And, with USB 2.0, you'll be able to transfer songs in a flash, spending less time at your computer and more time enraptured in your music.

Micro sized
Only 3.3" high, this micro sized player stands tall against any other player. In such a tiny space we have filled it with everything you'd want in an MP3 player and more!

Curved to fit
ZEN MICRO's contoured shape feels great when you hold it in your hand, scrolling through thousands of your favorite songs. The smooth round edges also let it slip effortlessly into your pocket. However, its stunning looks will probably make you want to keep it out where everyone can see it.

Captivating design
ZEN MICRO, trimmed with a luminescent blue glow and back-lit buttons, boasts the most imaginative design of an MP3 player to date.

10 electrifying colors
When it comes to choice, the only difficult decision you need to make is which of the 10 electrifying colors suits your lifestyle. With such a kaleidoscope of colors, what color will you choose?

Up to 12 hour battery life
There is enough battery life in ZEN MICRO to keep you dancing from dusk till dawn and still be listening to tunes during the morning commute. But don't let the music stop there!

Removable, rechargeable battery
ZEN MICRO's removable battery is easy to swap with another fully charged battery, there's no need to hang around waiting for your player to charge. Now you truly have the battery juice to get loose.

FM radio to listen to and record
Not that you will ever get tired of your 5GB music library when it can hold 2,500 songs. But, if you find yourself in the mood for radio, simply tune in with the ZEN MICRO's built-in FM radio. Set up to 32 station presets so you can catch up on the latest sports results, listen to your favorite talk show, or navigate your way out of traffic congestions. Your ZEN MICRO will even record your favorite radio shows, so you can listen to and enjoy them later.

Built-in voice recorder
There's also a built-in microphone for up to 10 hours of voice recording. Ideal for taking notes, recording lectures and remembering those inspirations you'll have as you hear the clarity of the MP3 and WMA music you've stored on ZEN MICRO.

Vertical touch pad
No more going round in circles to find the song you want, we all know that the quickest distance between two points is a straight line. ZEN MICRO's vertical touch pad and touch sensitive controls are designed to be intuitive so that searching through songs or playlists is easy, quick and fun - try taking a cruise down this strip.

Removable Disk
Store and transfer not only your favorite tunes, but important data files as well. Zen Micro's Removable Disk mode lets you connect your player to the computer and directly copy the files you need.

Get organized
When you're having so much fun with your ZEN MICRO, it's easy to lose track of time or even days. One of ZEN MICRO's handy features is its personal organizer. You'll never forget about those all important anniversaries with the "calendar," plus a "to do" list and "contacts" list, all syncing seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook.

Wake to your favorite tunes
You'll have no excuses of being late for that interview, important meeting or your early lecture. The ZEN MICRO has a sleep timer and alarm - so now you can drift off to sleep on those warm weekends to your very own playlist of easy listening tunes, and wake up to some classic rock and roll.

Customize your UI
We know everyone has different preferences; ZEN MICRO lets you customize the main menu so that you can have the features YOU want right there at your fingertips, where they are easy to find.

Shuffle to a different tune
Be your own DJ and take "shuffle" to a new level. ZEN MICRO's DJ feature gives you more than the standard shuffle found in other MP3 players. Not only will ZEN MICRO randomly shuffle through all your music, but now you can listen to all your most popular tracks, or tracks you rarely hear. Or let your ZEN MICRO randomly select an album of the day for you to enjoy.

Highest audio quality of any MP3 player
Creative MP3 players are renowned for their superior audio quality, and the ZEN MICRO is no exception. With an outstanding industry leading 98dB signal to noise ratio, you can achieve audio bliss with clarity as good as expensive hi-fi systems. That coupled with high fidelity earphones with dynamic bass response, the ZEN MICRO not only sets a new standard for sheer style, but for unmatched audio perfection.

Is this slimmer thans iPod Nano?!

[clawed_out]

I still prefer iPods.

[gm_oz]

Is this slimmer thans iPod Nano?!

nope(nano=.27",zen micro=.7") but its has lots of features compared to that fragile nano. fm stereo w/ fm recording, removable/rechargeable battery, supports wma & mp3,no need for iTunes(that intalls QT) :)

[clawed_out]

nano being fragile? what areyou smoking?

[liz_1215roxada]

actually...did you notice that people only buy iPods because of the brand? Your just paying for the brand. In my opinion, the Creative mp3 player rocks!

[jisc]

i really like the design and size of nano, but it requires iTunes, which i cant install in the office pc, and as far as i know you cant just copy mp3 from diff. pc. is it true that when you connect your ipod with other pc with itunes, it will delete all your mp3?

[The Phoenix]

actually...did you notice that people only buy iPods because of the brand? Your just paying for the brand. In my opinion, the Creative mp3 player rocks!

True. A marketing ploy capitalized to the max! Ipod has won over all its competitors by maintaining and sustaining the "coolness factor". It is cool to own an ipod over any other brand/model. Although in terms of functionality the same can be had with other models for a fraction of the cost.

It's just you honey.

[gm_oz]

im smoking crack. you want?

may nano ka ba? if you don't have one, then STFU

i got one in DAY 1 (you can scroll in this thread (http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=227748&page=2) above for size comparisons of the 3 ipods i got). i've RMA'd it after 2 weeks. the LCD shows signs of breaking even without using it while I'm mobile.the 2nd one I got, I charged it using an AC adapter from my U2 iPod, the lower part of the LCD just turned black. so I RMA'd it back, again. the 3rd one is still in the box though i'm afraid that it'll break itself while inside that box.

sorry i don't play with retards in the playground. Where do you get those defective iPods anyway? Eh di isoli mo kung may sira. problema ba yon? your experience is not the experience of the majority. if you don't find the brand nice eh di swtich to a different one. whatever will help you sleep at night.

& no, i live a healthy life. I don't need crack to make hasty decisions. It comes naturaly ;) to each his own.

swearing? I don't do that either, sorry. and gather your thoughts before spamming me with nonsense. hindi pagka dami dami ng post mo. may pa stfu stfu ka pa.

research. as simple as that.

[gm_oz]

"i still prefer ipods"

and who's spamming nonsense? the original poster is asking for opinion re creative not ipods! :rolleyes:

if you dont know anything about the product, it would be better to just keep your "i still prefer ipod" opinion to yourself. simple as that (if you own an ipod, good for you!)

did i?!?! syucks! i'm pretty stupid huh? got suckered because of the name.

well i bought it coz of relability and ease of use, not because of the name nor the "cool" factor of the ipod. compared to iriver or any of those clones. :lol:

[royalflashes]

this is not about iPods. Stop talking about them.

Creative daps are not the most reliable from what I read in these forums: http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board?board.id=dap

common problems (for the micro at least) include:
headphone jack static/distortion
poor batt life
dust in the screen (subjective)
sensitive touch strip
not plug and play.

[-Jerome-]

Astig ah........

[morrissey_05]

royalflashes is right. came up with the same conclusions when i was shopping around for an MP3 player. truth to tell, i was leaning towards the Creative Zen Micro or the Zen 20gb.

before buying, gave the local Creative technical support people a call. said they have to send defective units to Singapore for repair. but he said he hasnt encountered any defective unit (yeah right). on the other hand, i do know some people who are satisfied with the Creative players.

in the end, i decided on the Ipod because of the strong technical support locally. para sure.

Question po:

magkano na ang price range ng Creative Zen Micro 5G MP3 player

[Tifosi]

Before we go anywhere else with all the bickering, my two cents...

I own a Zen Micro, albeit the 4G one. I've had it since early this year and I'm quite satisfied with it. Pluses are it plays WMA's, has an FM radio, can be used as a storage device, and has a lot of inclusions in the package. The 5G one comes with a wired remote (dunno if in the Philippine market if it does). Minuses would be the scroll buttons are really sensitive even if at the lowest setting; and the FM radio can rarely pick-up any signal indoors, if at all, and the Jukebox is a bit crappy compared to iTunes.

Oh I almost forgot another plus, the tech support is really helpful. In my case, my player "whited-out" a few days ago. I emailed tech support regarding my problem; I'm still under warranty, but I lost my receipt. The guy who answered my mail told me that I needed to update my firmware, and listed out the steps to fix the problem. Twas quite easy to follow, and I'm one satisfied customer. I don't regret buying my Zen Micro. HTH :D

[gazillion]

any feedbacks on the 256 MuVo that doubles off as a flash drive? :)

[GilmoreGal]

HOw much is this?

By the way, where do i buy the cheapest creative mp3 player?

[magtataho]

how's the quality of the scroll button? when i played with a friend's zen micro, the scroll wheel is so unresponsive. i have to press really hard to get the zen micro to respond.

then i got a chance to play with a zen micro at Avant, and it was so sensitive that it moves at the slightest touch. what's up with that?

to zen micro owners, what's your experience with the touch buttons?

[demented_guy]

May Creative MP3 Player ako. Yung Nomad Jukebox na 20GB. Problema ko is ang bilis nang ma-drain yung battery (siguro 3-4 hours na lang kapag fully charged).

Alam niyo ba kung saan ko pwede ipa-replace yung battery nung player ko? Para naman mamaximize ko yung functionality niya.

Thanks.

it depends sa bitrate ng mga songs mo?wll nagtatanong nga dinme ng battery kung san available pero sa tingin ko *** kc *** pko nkikita....nde nmn ba naghang yung device mo?

anong nomad jukebox yan?zen?or xen nx?or xen xtra?

[demented_guy]

Naghahang siya pero very seldom. 128 kbps ginagamit ko and naka-OFF yung EAX Sound Enhancements. Sobrang hina talaga ng battery ko. Hindi rin nakamax ang volume kapag ginagamit ko (moderate lang). Kaya I think kailangan nang ma-replace ang battery.

Nomad Jukebox Zen 20GB yung akin. Monochrome pa yung LCD niya. Superb player. Yung battery lang yung problema nung unit ko (na dala na rin siguro ng tagal ng panahon).

[Chad]

I used to go for Creative mp3 players. Had the Muvo, then the Muvo V200 1GB. But I switched to the iPod for one simple reason. No, not the sound quality -- hardly any difference (to my ears, I'm admittedly not an audiophile); not the "ease of use" factor (I'm a techno-geek, so what's difficult for others is normally easy for me); and definitely not the brand (I don't buy MP3 players to display it to the world, lest I get mugged). I got the iPod simply because there are more accessories designed for the iPod than any other MP3 player.

One thing to think about when getting non-iPod MP3 players: it's a b|tch looking for accessories that'll work with it. That's the sole reason I got an iPod. I didn't have to search high and low for an accessory for it. But if Creative (or any other company) had the same breadth and depth of accessories that the iPod has, I'd switch brands faster than you can say "the iPod's an overpriced toy."

[pc03]

ok n player ko...madali *** *** solusyunan yung ganung problem!

i have the creative muvo tx fm which uses a single AAA battery. medyo magastos sya sa battery because one AAA battery lasts for a max 3 days. so that means i have to spend P30 every 3 days for an AAA alkaline battery. thats why im planning to buy a rechargeable one. ano bang okay bilhin na rechargeable battery thats best for an mp3 player? may AAA ba na lithium rechargeable battery? mas mahal ba at mas okay ito kaysa sa alkaline? how much would 4pcs cost? and saan maganda bumili?

Guys, alam nyo ba kung me available nang Creative zen vision:m or its accessories dito sa Manila? I already have the unit though, but now looking for stores who sell the accessories, particularly yung protective case. Sayang kasi scratch prone talaga to pero worth it sya. Thanks in adbans! :D

[topnotch97]

digital walker stores.
or try gilmore, baybayin mo yung mga stores doon.

[morena_babe]

what can u say about this MP3 player?

[phat_azz_TKD]

available na ba sya dito sa pinas? wala pa akong nakikita sa malls e... pero this product has hype... madalas ko siya makita sa MP3 player section ng cnet.com

[tykemeister]

It's thicker than the video i-pod. Supposedly it easily gets scratches and smudges so you'll need a protective case. If it's sold cheaper than the 30 gig video i-pod, I'd probably buy it.

I like the black version.

[jericholic]

I already have this player, pero pinaorder ko pa sa isang kaoffice mate ko who went to the US recently. It's really a great device. The screen is undoubtedly better than Ipod's and yung videos, grabe astig. And you don't have to do all those time wasting conversions that you usually do w/ your Ipods just to watch them on your gadget. Overall, I'm glad I bought this player. Be patient though, kasi wala pa masyadong accesories na available. This is, as what others have already said, an Ipod-killer!

[phat_azz_TKD]

^^
magkano bili mo? musta naman battery life?

[jericholic]

Yung battery life ayus lang. I can watch videos at around 4hrs... I heard Ipod is only 1.5 hrs. I just bought it for around 17 thou lang, mas mura pa dun kasi sa Villman I think nasa 20T na sya. Pero bumaba na sya dun, nasa 15t na yata to compete with the Ipod. Pero if binenta sya dito, baka starting nya talaga is 20T. :( mahal...

[RIGOR]

meron na ba neto ** sa pinas at magkano?

[RIGOR]

hello?.......

ive adjusted it already. nahihirapan pa rin ako. tama yung iba, sanayan talaga. so ngayon, nakatambak na lang sya sa drawer :lol:

[C2.Apple]

Where can I purchase creative zen micro photo? I really would want one since my iPod mini broke. Without a reason. It just suddenly DIED on me one day. Iyan ang talagang masarap ibato, hindi ba?! :lol: So I'm looking at the other mp3 players, and the creative zen micro photo sounds great! 8GB pa siya for the same price as the iPod nano which is only 4GB. Plus the nano breaks easily daw.

I just need to know where I can find creative products.. Parang puro iPod na lang kasi nakikita ko. Nagsasawa na ako sa iPod. Lahat ng tao may iPod! CURSE IT! Haha. Sobra na ata. :p :D

[C2.Apple]

BTW, maraming nagcocomplain sa sensitivity. Wala ba siyang hold switch like the iPod? Yung parang lock para hindi gumana yung touch pad kung hindi mo naman kailangan?

[cutieangel18]

i think i like zen vision. maganda :D . meron ba nun dito? magkano naman kaya? mas mahal ba sya compared to ipod video?

Sana manalo ang Creative sa lawsuit nila laban sa Apple! c",)

[dogi]

Kung nasa US ka, check mo ito.

CREATIVE 30GB ZEN XTRA Mp3 Player (http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4589987) for $ 89.99

I guess they are clearing out the old models.

By the way, I pulled the trigger on this one.

[etherian_dama]

Where can I purchase creative zen micro photo? I really would want one since my iPod mini broke. Without a reason. It just suddenly DIED on me one day. Iyan ang talagang masarap ibato, hindi ba?! :lol: So I'm looking at the other mp3 players, and the creative zen micro photo sounds great! 8GB pa siya for the same price as the iPod nano which is only 4GB. Plus the nano breaks easily daw.

I just need to know where I can find creative products.. Parang puro iPod na lang kasi nakikita ko. Nagsasawa na ako sa iPod. Lahat ng tao may iPod! CURSE IT! Haha. Sobra na ata. :p :D


why don't you have it replaced? My ipod mini also just DIED, brought it to Galleria and they replaced it with a new one after 3 weeks.

hey.. guys i'm planning to buy an mp3 player. I'm eyeing on the creative zen 5gb. I'm not really into portable mp3 players kaso i'm entering lawschool and I heard it's a good gadget for lecture recordings.

tanong ko lang pareho lang ba *** creative zen 5gb and *** neon 5b?
san ba ang maayos na bilihan ng mp3 players?
dun sa gumagamit ng mp3 players for recording... ayos ba *** quality... or if there are other accessories to buy to improve it?
also how about the recording time... the memory used for a certain amount of time...etc?

kay jisc... where did you buy your zen 5gb?

creative zen users: naimprove na ba *** sensitive buttons ng mga zens? any other problems encountered?
how about creative microphoto 8gb as an alternative?

guys, sensya sa maraming tanong... ganyan talga ang maglalawyer e... walang tiwala sa ads and information freaks. If there are any other things I needed to know regarding creative or mp3 ingeneral pakipost lang. thanX.

[hellgate]

pahabol... ano ba difference ng flash based and drive based players? what are their advantages and disadvantages?

[topnotch97]

^^ drive based means miniturized Hard Drive. thus moving parts.
flash based is non-hard drive, so no moving parts.

[_patricia97_]

I bought my black Zen Vision:M 30GB last Monday and I'm loving it! Yesterday I watched 3 episodes of House MD (approx 45mins each) and was playing mp3s the rest of the day, so it was around 10hours worth of battery life for mine. It's user friendly, and yes, you can adjust the sensitivity but I'm quite getting the hang of "slide-then-tap" technique with the scroll.

It has a recording feature na sobrang ok, very clear. The software that came with it is user friendly. And it supports a lot more file formats than the iPod. The sound quality is superb. The video capabilities? Astig! It has actually more colors than the iPod.

It's 19,999 at Automatic Center in G4, but I used my BPI mastercard so there's a 1% rebate. it's 0% installment for 12 months so it's all good :)

[choloy_11]

hi i have creative zen micro 5 gig in which i am selling... my reason for selling is that, im not really using it since im working in a callcenter, i really dont have time..most of my spare time is devoted for sleeping, sad but its true :depressed:

its really scratch-free since i rarely used it and already loaded with 200 songs. i still have the box and the accessories, in really good condition. the color is blue nga pala. i bought it for 11,999.00 and im selling it for at 8,500.

if interested po kayo PM me or email me at choloy_11@yahoo.com. :bashful:

[Freakworks]

[pc03]

hi guys,*** meron creative zen 20gb?ask ko *** if ntatanggal ang battery nun at may available ba sa market ng battery ng creative mp3 players?

[pc03]

hi guys,*** meron creative zen 20gb?ask ko *** if ntatanggal ang battery nun at may available ba sa market ng battery ng creative mp3 players?

[topnotch97]

download mo yung manual or user guide nung unit. try mo kung nanduduon yung model ng battery.

[escadasport]

saan nakakabuy nito? kasi mismo yun Creative wala din daw stock nito. i have Zen Neeon and I need the universal travel charger kasi. i'l be out of the country kasi tapos la pa pc sa dorm ko.and yaw ko magcharge through usb sa pc kasi sayang kuryente kasi kelangan pa naka-on pc. meron ba generic nito? or may specific na charger for Zen? Sabi kasi ng seller nito may specific daw, but i dunno if she's telling the truth.

[quents]

san mo nabili neeon mo at how much?

ok ba ang performance?

gusto ko sana subukan kasi 5 gig e

[quents]

sabi sa brochure ng creative 8k lang.

totoo ba?

[Les]

I have the Zen Neeon 6gb, bought in Japan. For some odd reason, the only models I've seen here are the 5 gb ones. Lots of stores in the SM North Carpark carry the 5 gb model with an average price of around 8,000 PhP.

Personally, I've very satisfied with the Zen Neeon. It's small and light, and has a bunch of features not found in other players like an FM radio/recorder with 32 presets, direct line-in recording, and a voice recorder (no more need for a tape recorder to transcribe audio). Battery life is good, it's rated at 16 hours for 64 kbps WMA (it's probably shorter for higher-bitrate MP3s but I use my player intermittently so I can't really quantify it for continuous playing). I guess the only drawback is a more difficult browsing system compared to other players, since the Neeon only has a single scroll switch. However, if you use playlists or just random shuffle the folders (like I do), it shouldn't be much of a bother.

The Zen Neeon has a specific charger for it. The manual advises avoiding the use of any other charger because it might damage your player. However if I had to choose an 'unofficial' external charger, it should be one that falls within the USB specs (max of 5 volts at 500 mA per USB port).

[escadasport]

yup 8k lang yun 5gig. I bought mine sa Automatic Center sa g4. same price cash and card. ano difference sa 64 and 128 kbps? bobo kasi ako dyan. kasi when i rip my audio cd to my neeon, parang default na 128 kbps. ayaw ko naman iadjust kasi d ko alam kung ano difference.

Les, do you know san nakkbuy ng "unofficial" external charger?

[quents]

thanks!

sana bumaba ang presyo. hehe.

neeon din ba yung backlight?

[jisc]

mura lang ang generic USB charger, as cheap as 200 meron na, it looks like this http://www.cablestogo.com/assets/product_images/22328.jpg

[topnotch97]

ganyan di yung AC adapter (USB) nung fake na iPod Nano.
i wouldn't be surprised.:lol:

[escadasport]

any electronics store meron nito? safe ba? hindi kasi ako familiar sa mga ganun

[Les]

escadasport, sorry dunno where to find 'generic' USB chargers like the one pictured above. I may pass by Raon sometime, I'll tell you if I spot any. Personally, I feel that these kinds of chargers are safe for any USB-charging device since they're probably designed to have the same characteristics as your typical USB port minus the data transfer part. To be safe, you can easily measure the voltage output of the charger using a multimeter; it should not exceed 5 volts.

quents, the Zen Neeon has 7 backlight colors to choose from. Personally I often use the amber or light blue ones.

[quents]

razr muna bibilhin ko. ahehehe.

[topnotch97]

any electronics store meron nito? safe ba? hindi kasi ako familiar sa mga ganun

kahit sa 168 mall meron, di lang sa mismong electronics store.

[quents]

nakabili na ko razr.

bili na lang ako 2 gig microsd card.

di na neon.

may itunes na ko,

may vids pa ko.

hehe.*okay* *okay* *okay*

[jembo]

when playing videos, do you have to convert ur video to a specific resolution, bitrate, etc?

[marbles]

No need to convert video files. Just upload them and view. It can also play .DAT files, and divx movies downloaded from torrents. Sometimes some videos can't be uploaded so you'd have to convert them using the Creative software provided but this happens rarely.

[Tamang_timpla]

kung meron: how much does it cost? tska, ano yung specs?

[alky-holic]

madami. go to glorietta, i was there yesterday, dun sa middle part, there are a lot of stores scattered around selling creative mp3 players and ipods.

They sell all kinds of creative mp3 players, from the basic ones to the creative zen vision, 30gb ata yun.

[topnotch97]

meron na ba? matagal na.
nawala ata sa radar. :lol:

[tyggerhappy]

ur so lucky im selling a creative muvo tx fm mp3 player (256mb). if u want to see the specs just go to consumer electronics forum under classifieds/announcements forum of pex. thx

[mong_cute]

ako rin po, gustong bumili nito (mura na lang siya dito sa singapore)...

kailangan bang i-install yung creative software before i could transfer files to the player? or puwedeng parang removeable disk yung sistema?

patulong naman po sana agad para mabili ko na!

[kapuso]

magkano na to sa pinas??

[marbles]

not really sure but I think you have to install the software first. I haven't tried connecting it directly to the pc without the software.
Costs 17-18K at local stores

[mong_cute]

it costs about 13k na dito sa singapore.

[marbles]

buy the 60gb zvm or the zen vision W if you're in Singapore *okay*

[boge]

you need to install the software first before you transfer the files. Hindi kasi gumana sa akin before eh. the great thing about the sa zen vision m is that once you install the software - pwede ka na magtransfer to/from your player to your pc.

[mong_cute]

buy the 60gb zvm or the zen vision W if you're in Singapore *okay*

hehehe, di na yata kaya ng budget ko... nakakainis lang nagiging price-competitive na ang ipod, naglabas pa ng 80gb.

60gb zvm will only be available in early 2007 pa, according to a creative store that i've gone to.

[pc03]

hi guys,ask ko *** kung *** may creative zen 20g?

kc yung akin,one day ko *** d ngamit,then nung ggmitin ko n,ayaw mag open,try ko icharge ayaw n din magcharge....

do u have same problem?help!

[Les]

Sounds like a defective unit. Bring it back to the store where you bought it from and have it replaced.

[pc03]

nope,d ** defect mtagal n sya sa akin e...

[pc03]

ok na ulli...hmp reset bottons *** ***...at d dapat idrain ang battery....

sa ipod ba charge nyo n pag wen its drained?

[mike_s_6]

When some gadgets have drained batteries, be it phones or mp3 players, you would really need to take some time charging it first before it becomes functional ;)

[pc03]

oo nga so para safe wag idrain hehehehe

[purrfect]

My sister is eyeing the Creative S200 and I was hoping you guys could give general feedback on this model and on the brand Creative as well. Thanks!!!

[cookiepao]

san po ba ang service center ng creative? kasi may 1 year ng defective mp3 ko na creative di ko alam kung san ko pwede pagawa...:D

[danica00]

Curious about the creative players (I want a Zen Vision lol!), bump...

[Naruto Kun]

preferred ko ang mga creative mp3 players that uses AAA batteries. simple lang ang reason. mura lang naman ang rechargeable batteries na AAA including their chargers. kapag nasira kasi ang built-in lithium batteries e medyo mahal (katulad ng mga nasa Ipods).

another reason why I like Creatives is that they don't need any software to load the mp3's (unlike the Ipod na kailangan pa ng ITunes).

in terms of durability with the Ipod, pareho lang. in terms of price, a bit cheaper din ang Creative.

yun nga lang kaunti ang accessories sa creative. pero kung resourceful ka, pagawa ka na lang (tulad ng mga mp3 socks or armbands, etc.)

[topnotch97]

ingat lang, may mga naglipana ding fake na mp3 players na mukhang kopya ng Creative.

walang masama kung mag-iingat, dahil pera nyo rin yan.

[chris64789]

i really like the design and size of nano, but it requires iTunes, which i cant install in the office pc, and as far as i know you cant just copy mp3 from diff. pc. is it true that when you connect your ipod with other pc with itunes, it will delete all your mp3?
this will only happen pag naka automatic update ang music mo. you should choose to "manually update music" to prevent erasure of the songs on the ipod.

[danica00]

Product lineup...
http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/

What models are locally available, how much do they cost and where can I purchase one?

Thanks in advance for the info :)

[danica00]

Follow up question...

What's the most recommended model on the MuVo line?

[GiN]

had experience with two muvos... grabe ang bilis masira ah. it's nice sana kasi plug and play siya.

[chris64789]

guys, share ko lang, sa quiapo, harap ng plaza miranda b un? may mini mall dun, daming ipod accessories. as in mura talaga. i bought a sticker scratch protector for less than a hundred eh sa SM 300+ yun. plus they have a variety of ipod casing that you can choose from. highly recommended talaga.

[degreez1008]

Anybody knows kung saan meron na creative repair center sa metro manila? papaayos ko sana MuVo ko :)

[marbles]

Afaik, there are no service centers in Manila. You'll need to bring it to the store where you bought it from, assuming you bought it here and it's still within its warranty period.

[cutieangel18]

ang current crush ko na player ng creative ay *** zen vision w. so nice! although mejo mas bulky sya... may idea ba kayo kung kelan available dito satin un?

crush ko din dati *** zen vision eh. last time i saw it, 24k yata un. ngayon ba, magkano na sya?

[pcm]

oo nga interesado din ako sa creative zen vision w..di pa nga lang ako nakakapagcanvass ng price..but id love to have one for christmas

[marbles]

Anybody knows kung saan meron na creative repair center sa metro manila? papaayos ko sana MuVo ko :)

look for "ox" at tipidpc.com. nakita ko lang ad nya.

[cookiepao]

pano po if galing canada mp3 ko na creative? do i have to send it back to have it repaired if walang service center here sa manila?:D

[stunner28]

hey guys! where can i purchase this in manila? which authorized dealer? im really really cravin for this portable media player!!!! need help.. huhu.. it's always out of stock when im tryin to purchase it online.. and where can i get the real good portable speakers for it?

thanks :D

[topnotch97]

everywhere. as long as the store carries other Creative products and other mp3 players, then it's not that of a problem.

since you've been checking online, why not call them up and ask for availability. whether it's in manila or not.

[jisc]

nakita ko last month to sa MOA, may demo show sila. and nakakita ako ng vision w sa sm appliance center sa MOA, although i dont know kung ano capacity nya

for portable speakers, don't buy those creative and ipod exclusive speakers they are overpriced. i suggest you look for this http://www.consumer.philips.com/catalog/SB/SBA290_97_webImageFullSize.jpg, you can use either 6xAAA or an adaptor to power it.

mga 2k. the sound is good, di mo aakalain na sa maliit na speaker na yun nanggagaling ang sound

[Countez]

i just bought a creative zen vision:m yesterday and i can't turn it on.
there's a blue light on the top that won't turn off... does anybody know what the blue light means? does that mean i have to return the product?

[Rambo!]

better return the product asap. it should work properly if you just bought it yesterday.

[sublime_79]

hay naku dami talgang palpak na creative

[eveRything]

baka naman di pa naccharge

[marbles]

hold the power button (to the left) until the unit turns on (displays Creative logo). The blue light is normal. If it still doesn't work, return it to the shop where you bought it to have it replaced.

[loc0]

Where did you buy your unit? I'm considering getting a Creative Zen Microphoto from Villman, their aftersales service is good from what I hear.

[Rammstein]

try resetting your unit. meron syang reset slot sa ilalim.
