Summary: I recently bought this little gadget for $168 at pcmall.com. For some reason this was 168 while all the other colors were being sold for $225 so i bought this one. As soon as I took it out of the box i was surprised at how small and beautiful it looks. Next, I installed the software and got straight to importing my songs into it, after recharging the battery. The software was very easy to use and I learned everything in a couple of minutes. My previous products were the sony nh600d, and the mz-n1. So basically this was the first non-minidisk product that I bought and the software is much easier than sonicstage. Also, There are no copyright restrictions so I can import and export anything from anywhere. After importing my songs it was time to turn it on and listen to the sound quality. Surprisingly the zen micro photo's sound quality is as good as my sony's and the headphones are pretty decent. Compared to other products, the headphones lack bass but for a starting pair they are much better than the sony headphones that came with my md players. I had a hard time getting used to the touchpad because it is very sensitive and i end up going into folders that i dont want to. But after I got used to the touchpad its time to check out the zen's other features. The equalizer is very good and the microphone is also an interesting feature, although I wont use it much. The radio is surprisingly great and I can tune to popular stations and get almost perfect sound quality. Whats even better is that I can record songs from the radio. Another feature is the ability to carry and view photos. The music stops playing once I start to look at the photos but thats not a big deal to me. The picture quality is also great and I can even put a picture as my wallpaper. This product is almost perfect and the only problem I may have is the battery life. Im used to having a battery life of 30+ hours so it'll be a while before I get used to this. Overall, this is a wonderfull product and I recommend this to anyone with ears.
