The ZEN MicroPhoto, released on July 28, 2005,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/60992|title=Creative ZEN MicroPhoto 1.0.0.0 software download|publisher=[[VersionTracker]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071029130613/http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/60992|archive-date=2007-10-29}}</ref> shares the same features of the ZEN Micro except [[Audible.com]] support (reinstated in firmware versions 1.31.01 and above), and adds an upgraded 262,144-color (18 bpp) [[Organic light-emitting diode|OLED]] screen for displaying photos. To fix the lack of bass with the ZEN Micro, Creative implemented a Bass Boost feature, available in most subsequent players. The 8&nbsp;GB player is available in the same colors of the Micro and is advertised to store "thousands of [[JPEG]]s" or "4,000 songs". Due to its larger battery, the player can play up to 15 hours of continuous playback, 3 hours longer than its predecessor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://aphnetworks.com/reviews/creative_zen_microphoto|last=Schweitzer|first=Jason|title=Reviews – Creative Zen MicroPhoto 8GB|publisher=APH Networks|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060521124223/http://aphnetworks.com/reviews/creative_zen_microphoto|archive-date=2006-05-21}}</ref> The MicroPhoto is the first of many subsequent players with expanded customization, with the ability to use a picture as a custom wallpaper, with color themes to change the tones of it, and six color schemes.
