so, will it work the same as an ipod? where itunes will recognize the creative, and i can just drag songs from itunes right into the player?

An iTunes plug in for the zen line. That's probably what you're looking for. It's a quite nice music player, my friend has one.

I'm getting a Zen MicroPhoto and i was just wondering if i could sync my music to it using virtual pc and windows media player or the Zen software that comes with it?
Thanks

Yeah, should be able to, I would try one of the Mac software options mentioned above though because then you can use iTunes...
still need help!
My computer doesn't wanna download the iTunes plugin, I click download and it doesn't. XNJB isn't working right, so I want this to work.

I think that only iPod and Sony players won't let you drag and drop music files and play them afterwards. Most of the others (and I've tried quite some) will. But I wouldn't choose a player because of that feature. At the end of the day I suppose that the sound quality should be the most important feature and when it comes to that iPod is way ahead.

Creative MICRO on a MAC
Just remember that with the Creative Zen you wont be able to use Mp4's from the itunes music store on your Micro.
You would be able to rip all your cds into Mp3s and play thoes, just make sure in your prefs for itunes that importing isnt set to AAC. Thoes wont play on anything else but an ipod.

most zen's are like that. In windows it can be recognised as a disk if you have wmp 10 installed, and maybe you need sp2, not entirely sure about that. That's one of the reasons I don't have a zen anymore, you can't effectively use them as removable storage devices, you have to install the software on any computer you want to use them on.
The Zen Plug in works for older first-generation Zen Micros but not newer ones (Micro Photo for example) which use MTP sync. For that, XNJB is the only thing that works. No Zen is truly drag & drop in the USB Mass Storage sense: The new ones are all Windows Media Player compatible, which allows for drag & drop style operation in Windows XP only.
If you want a truly drag & drop player, either re-flash a Nano to Rockbox, or get an iAudio player. They're rather good machines as far as UMS players go. Although some models are more expensive than the Apple equivalent, iAudios don't look horribly cheap like Creatives.
