How to format .m3u files for import? Or is there a spec. for .zpl playlis

I currently create all my playlists through SlimServer (www.slimdevices.com). The result is .m3u playlists. I'd like to use these same playlists on my Vision M without having to recreate all of them. Writing a script to tweak what the structure of the .m3u is no problem. I've tried the method described here: http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=0837
with no luck. Within MediaSource Organizer, I drag my imported playlist into an existing playlist on my Zen, but I always get "Error" or "Rejected" for each entry in the playlist. I think I may not be formatting the paths correctly in the .m3u. The styles of entries I've used include (folder structure below matches what is on the player):
/Ben Allison/2006 Cowboy Justice/07 Weazy.mp3
Ben Allison/2006 Cowboy Justice/07 Weazy.mp3
/Music/Ben Allison/2006 Cowboy Justice/07 Weazy.mp3
Music/Ben Allison/2006 Cowboy Justice/07 Weazy.mp3
No luck with any of them. Am I missing something?
Also, I was wondering if I could just write a script to create a .zpl (apparently creative's own style of playlist file?) file from an .m3u file. But I'd have to know the format of the .zpl file, and if I was able to create one, would I be able to drag-and-drop it into my playlists in Creative Media Explorer? Any ideas here?
Thanks!

Just tested an .m3u playlist that looks exactly like this:
(start file)
C:\Ben Allison\2006 Cowboy Justice\0 Tricky **bleep**.mp3
(end file)
That mp3 exists on C. The same file exists on my ZVM with the same directory structure underneath "Music." I copy the m3u playlist to my device using MediaSource Organizer--the playlist is transferred, but the file is copied to my player again! So now I have two copies of "Tricky **bleep**.mp3" on my player. The new one is copied to the ZVM in a different directory based on its tags (artist\album\track). This is definitely not what I want.
All I want is to copy over the miniscule playlist files, nothing else. Is this at all possible? And if so, what should the playlist files look like? I was hoping that I'd be able to easily synchronize my home player's playlists (Squeezebox) with the playlists on my ZVM, but this is not looking promising...

    If you click buy, it takes you to a sub munu, where you can select either "Full or Upgrade".  Select Upgrade, then select the version you already have.  The upgrade price will then be displayed.

  • How to read ZIP files(having PDFs,Image) using MQ Series link for R/3

    Hi,
    1)Is it possible to transfer a zip file (having an image or pdf) using IDocs in SAP 4.6C using MQ Series link for R/?
    Scenario: "MQ Series link for R/3" converts Business-Reports from a third-party software,into SAP IDocs.Each Business-Report contains one XML file and one ZIP file.
    2)Being on ABAP side,do I have to worry about how the zip file would be converted into IDocs?
    Detailed descrption:
    This scenario requires integration of a non-SAP software which talks in XML with SAP R/3(4.6C).The customer has decided to go with 'MQ Series link for R/3' (which integrates any non-SAP application running on IBM MQ Series to R/3,by converting data(in any format) into IDocs).He is not ready to go for XI.
    The Problem area is a functionality which requires the non-SAP software to send XML file along with an attached Zip file.So,XML document,basically,has a 'zippedFile' XML element having actual file in XML keyword 'file'.
    This XML document ideally, should be converted by the subsystem(MQSeries link for R/3) into IDocs i.e. into a stream which could be stored in a table on R/3 side and later, sent back to the non-SAP software through MQ Series link to be converted into zip-file again with corresponding pdfs,images.I want someone who has worked in a similar scenario to confirm this.

    I have a feeling I have posted this question in the wrong forum or maybe I will let you decide this.Any help would be appreciated (even the right forum name).

  • How to write .CSV file to import device placeholder into Lion Server Profile Manager?

    I'm now using Mac Mini with Lion Server (10.7.4). I've already setup a server with Profile Manager to manage some iOS devices.
    Now I need to add many devices into Profile Manager. From some articles, (for example http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/-/9780132778879/chapter-4dot-managing-accou nts/ch04lev1sec3), I found that I can use .CSV file to import many device placeholders at a time. So I create a .CSV file "devices.csv" with the content as the following:
    iPhone001,12345ABCD12,,,
    Then I import this file to "Devices" in Profile Manager, but in vain. It says that the placeholder is invalid.
    If there's any one could provide some exemples? Thanks a lot.

    Hi Nien-Yi Ho,
    A little late, but perhaps someone else can benefit ...
    The way I did this, is:
    - create an empty Excel spreadsheet
    - add 5 headers in the first row: DeviceName, SerialNumber, IMEI, MEID, UDID
    - in the next rows add your devices and specs (for the iPhones and iPads I only added DeviceName, SerialNumber and IMEI specs)
    - IMPORTANT: save the file as a Windows CSV file.
    If you import the CSV file now, all should go well.

  • How can I rename files when importing?

    Is there a way to rename files when importing them? Every method I've tried retains the original file name the camera assigns (e.g. DSC_0001). I'd like the ability to rename the files automatically either with a date or event name with sequential numbering following.
    Thanks!

    First you will have to upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop where you can batch rename them before importing into iPhoto. That's a safer workflow IMO because you can make sure the photos are safely on the hard drive before starting any other operation.

  • How to exclude mts files from importing

    Hi,
    I use my photo camera for photo's and video, but as PSE is crashing/freezes when it encounters a mts file I would like to exclude these from importing but the default "media type" settings does not allow this.
    How can I force PSE to exclude these files, so I can import all photos into the organizer
    André
    PSE 12 W8.1 i7 HD4000+GT650M

    Is this a laptop that 'automatically' chooses between an onboard graphics chip (the HD4000) and an advanced graphics processor (GT650M). If it is then  it is possible that the switching is causing the issue. There should be a utility that allows you to define a particular card for for a particular application to use - this should then start the application using that card and avoid any 'auto-sensing' activity.
    Note though that Elements (Photoshop, Premiere, Organizer) make no use of advanced video card capabilities so if the HD4000 provides you an acceptable resolution and colour depth there is no advantage to using the GT650M.

  • Best file for importing images from Illustrator and Photoshop for small file sizes

    Hello Adode consults!
    I'm in the process of preparing an inDesign file for a school project -- I've already had a few harrowing experiences sending large files to the printer that are too large to process (and a very grumpy computer, etc). The end result will be a poster around 36 inches by 4 or 5 feet.
    I'm wondering if there are any best practices for making sure that the files imported into InDesign are a manageable size to begin with. Should I, for instance, be saving each file as a jpeg before placing in Indesign?
    Thanks!
    -Katherine

    No, you should not save every file as JPG before placing it in INDesign. JPG is only usefull for raster images (like photos) without any transparency in high quality.
    When you place images use:
    For raster images from Photoshop psd (rgb with color profile)
    For raster images from Photoshop with form layers, texts or any vector element use PDF (or PDP) with layers.
    For vector graphics from Illustrator use AI files or PDF.
    For layouts from other InDesign projects use either the INDD itsself or export a PDF/X4.
    But to the printer deliver a PDF according to their standards. E.g. when they need CMYK files export as PDF/X1a with the required output color space and the resolution they want. Produce the pdf via Export (Print).
    Don't deliver open INDD. File size should for printing projects not be an issue.
