i just found this:
UPDATE
Creative has released a firmware upgrade for the Zen Micro, which I've installed. Firmware version 1.01.03, addresses the following battery issue, according to Creative:
This web release enables you to upgrade your player's firmware, to enhance your Zen Micro experience.
It has been reported by some of our customers that they have experienced reduced battery life after charging their Zen Micro. Our product development team has researched these reports and determined that the users may have experienced this after they plugged their Zen Micro into the AC adapter that was already inserted into a wall socket with the AC power on.
While this is not the conventional way (Aside.....Its not???, thats how I do it...) to plug in a player for charging, we wanted to ensure our customers did not experience this problem, so we have developed a solution to address this which simply involves upgrading the Zen Micro's firmware. ...........
.........................
Fixes
* Improves battery life when the player is charged with an AC adapter already plugged into a live power outlet
* Improves touchpad sensitivity
* Resolves the removable disk detection issue after the memory space is changed in Removable Disk mode
* Removes extraneous sound occuring during playback of .WAV files
I've installed this firmware upgrade, and it does improve battery life, to almost 12 hours, using the "optimum" conditions I described, if you charge with the plug in charger. Charging though the USB cable only gives me about 9 hours however, which I can't explain.
END UPDATE
BUT WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS?

I have an iRiver and they say it's a 16 hour battery. They get that number by testing the battery by starting it fully charged and playing it at 44KHz/128Kbps/Volume 20/Normal EQ pixel. So if I play ogg files at 192 and keep switching songs the battery will die much faster. I average about 8-9 hours on a charge. I suspect they came up with the 12 hours by testing it using that same method.
And don't recommend an iPod people. It's an inferior product.
