I have a napster account. I download the songs, they automatically go to window's media. from there i go to my computer, pick the MuVo icon and all the songs from Media are there. when i try to upload them to the player, i get an unsucessful transfer message. Please if anybody can walk me through what i am doing wrong, it will be greatly appreciated!
thanks!

Move all the files to the windows media player. So the songs are listed in the media player. Then connect the device and use the sync option in the media player. There may also be a sync option in napster but I think the windows media player would work better.
The format of the songs are wrong in one way or another. Each Mp3 player has a product spec sheet that lists which type of music file it is compatible with (Mp3, WMA, WAV, AAC, etc). You can't play iTunes songs, which are AAC format, on a player that only accepts Mp3 or WMA format.
The second formatting issue has to do with the DRM license on the songs you have downloaded. Right click a song that gave you an error, click on "Properties," and click on the "License," "Media Usage Rights," or "Digital Rights Mgmt" tab (wording varies by configuration). Not every song allows unlimited or even one-time transfer to a "portable device" (code word for "Mp3 player" in this case). Also, some songs are fixed-term - they expire after a while - sometimes in as little as 24 hours.
To get around this, convert every song to Mp3 format. Either that, or upgrade your music service subscription to the highest pkg they have available and never cancel (Napster's basic music svc, for instance, does not let you transfer to an Mp3 player, but their "Napster To Go" upgrade does allow transfer).
I dont't knw napper, but widows media player is not compatible with samsung gadgets, so when you transfer files you only can carrying it on. try transfere files via SAMSUNG MEDIA STUDIO 5 (software include with the device) that automatically recognize the gadget firmware and convert files when transfere.
make sure to use the applet in the system tray (bottom right corner) that when left clicked, opens a list of available usb devices to stop before disconnecting.
I ALSO HAVE A ZEN MICRO, I PURCHASED IT FOR USING WITH THE NAPSTER SERVICE NAPSTER TO GO. I TO HAVE THE SAME SORT OF PROBLEM I WAS FULL OF TRACKS AND IT THEN STOPPED RESPONDING SO I DID A RE FORMATT SO ALL THE TRACKS WERE LOST. EVER SINCE THEN WHEN I TRY TO LOAD TRACKS FROM NAPSTER ALL I GET IS A TRANSFER ERROR (I/O ERROR)
THESE TRACKS WERE ON IT BEFORE AND IT TAKES FOREVER TO LOAD. I HAVE TRIED CREATIVE BUT THEY WERE CRAP AND THERE EMAIL CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS A JOKE. NAPSTER TRIED TO HELP BUT AFTER 6 40 MIN CALLS STILL NOT WORKING THEY KEEP GOING OVER THE SAME THINGS. I HAVE TRIED WEBSITES LIKE THESE BUT TO NO AVAIL. DO YOU KNOW OF ANYTHING OR HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, I AM A COPMPLETE TECHNOPHOBE BUT I WILL HAVE A GO.
