Main Applications
Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer and Zen Media Explorer applications are included
with your Zen Micro. These applications are installed when you set up the Zen Micro
software on your computer.
In this document, we will use Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer to outline usage
instructions. For usage information in Zen Media Explorer , refer to Zen Media Explorer’s
online Help.
Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer is your digital music center for playing, creating,
organizing, synchronizing and transferring digital music. Use Creative MediaSource
Player/Organizer, if you:

■ frequently need to play back or organize music in your computer
■ require other features such as recording, audio conversion, Smart Playlist, CD burning and
online music services (available only in certain regions)
Zen Media Explorer offers you the ease of managing music tracks and data files in
Zen Micro, in a Windows Explorer environment. Use the Zen Media Explorer, if:
■ you already have an extensive MP3 or WMA collection and/or another preferred media player
