Great MP3 Player

Yes!!! The Zen Micro is an excellent mp3 player. The touch pad takes <30 minutes to get used to. The buttons rarely ever freeze up. I would definately recommend this player!

I haven't had a problem with the buttons. Sometimes it doesn't respond, but it's because I haven't touched it right. I've only had it for about a week and am still getting a little used to it. You can adjust the sensitivity of the the touchpad. I don't think I've figured out what my ideal setting is....

Overall, I am very happy with the player!!!

Would definitely agree that the Zen Micro is a terrific buy. It's really easy to use and downloading songs from your computer or directly from CD's is a breeze. Other pluses - FM radio, Organizer function and replaceable battery. It will honestly not take you long to get used to the touchpad - it took me about 15 minutes to figure out my ideal sensitivity setting (the default is set to Medium, I changed it to Low) and after that, it has been so easy to use. I think you can buy the Zen with an easy mind - for the price, ease of use and features, it can't be beat!
