[blog.zakainsworth.com] Creative Zen Micro Review: You can transfer mp3s from your hard drive or rip them right from a CD. Best of all, you don’t have to deal with any of that licensing junk like you do with Itunes, Apple’s Ipod software.

[Protozoo.com :: Another hole in the roof] Creative Zen Micro - new gadget at home: The Zen Micro has a lot of features that determined my decision.
