Images: Creative's user interface

A patent awarded to Creative Technology governs the user interface that lets someone navigate the screens on a digital music player. Here, the image to the right is a close-up of the screen on the company's Zen Micro, seen at left. Clicking on "Artists" takes you to...

...a screen listing the performers or composers. Creative says the "Zen patent" covers all nine generations of its digital media players.

This screen lists albums by a given artist that are on the music player.

Listings by track for a particular album.
