Detailed review
The Creative Micro is what it claims to be. No frills, no bells, no whistles, just a straight forward media player. I have read in other reviews of this device that the headphone jack gave some people fits, but I have never had that issue on my Micro. I did have a complete internal memory wipe at one point. No real problem there however. I just applied new firmware, copied my music back over, and I was back up and running.

Pros - Simple media player. Simple OS. Good sound quality. FM radio tuner. MiniUSB charger/PC connector makes for easy charging at home and on the road. Good build quality makes for a sturdy player.

Cons - Kind of large for a 6GB player. The touch sensitive "buttons" take some getting used to. Standard ear buds are weak sauce.
