If you are considering buying a Creative Zen MicroPhoto MP3 player, do reconsider. These players have extremely sensitive hard drives, and if you drop your player even 6 inches it could break. What happens is, when you turn the player on, it will freeze at the Creative logo screen and you will have to take the battery out just to get it to turn off.
NOTE: in my experience the Creative Zen Micro, though it uses a similar hard drive, is less prone to freezing than the Creative Zen MicroPhoto. The MicroPhoto is just a piece of crap.
The Zen Sleek and Sleek Photo are also pieces of crap. I repair nearly all Creative Labs MP3 players for a living, and the MicroPhoto and Sleek/Sleek Photo are the crappiest models made. You should instead get a Micro, Zen Vision:M, Zen Xtra, Zen Touch, or anything other than the above mentioned crappy models.
