Creative MP3 Player for Free: 6 MB Creative Zen Micro MP3 player. I used this MP3 player when I had Windows XP and it worked fine. I later got a MP3 player with more memory and had not used this device for some time. Recently I planned on putting some songs on this player for use in my car, but I could not get it to be recognized by Windows 7. I still have the software CD that came with this MP3 player, so I suspect if you have Windows XP or Vista that this device would work fine with your computer. Call or email if interested.
