How to play MPEG4 music files using Creative Media Source

I use iTunes store for buying music pretty much and receive files in MPEG4 format.
Instead of converting to MP3 I would prefer that my Creative Media Source player/organiser could handle the MPEG4 format. I'm using the Media Source player with an Audigy2ZS and sometimed the older Soundblaster-USB for notebooks.
Is there an upgrade that I have overlooked or ...
Or shall I buy a more professional player, like BMP studio?
I don't like the iTunes player very well!

Cannot transfer files using Creative Media Sou

I cannot Cannot transfer files using from my PC to my Creative Jukebox 0GB using Creative Media Source. Since I installed Windows Media Player 0, it seems that Windows Media Player 0 is the only program enabled to transfer files to my creative Jukebox. I would just go ahead and use Media Player, but Media Player won't let me change my library to one designated music file folder location. Media Player wants to find every copy of the same song on my system and is very difficult to use to transfer the files to my Jukebox device. Is there any fix to make Creative Media Source the preferred (or only) program used to transfer the files from PC to device?

i am having a similar problem, although i have not downloaded windows media player 0. The creative mediasource software wont let me transfer songs onto my zen touch (20G). i only got the player a couple of days ago and it only has about 400 songs on it so far so there's no problem with the memory. I had problems before where it wouldnt let me upload anything that began with a letter after 's' in the alphabet! i solved this (no idea how) but the problem seems to have come back and now it wont let me up load anything. When i atempt to, it comes up with the prompt "unable to read file. file may be in use, missing or corrupted." (which they arent as far as i know) I also, for some reason, cannot play any songs through creative mediasource - even though i could a few hours ago!
Please could someone help as this is very frustrating!!!!!!

How do I manage music files using iTunes in the iCloud?

HW: HP laptop running win 7 and itunes 10.6.3.25; home sharing is on; itunes match is on;
iPhone 4S w/iTunes; itunes wifi sync will use the hp laptop; itunes match is on; use cellular data is on sho all music is on; auto downloads for music is on; icloud says 4.1 gb available
I have about 1000 music files on my pc
I spent 3 hours sending them all to itunes match
now I have:
     duplicate tune files on my phone
     files on my pc that lost their track/artist info and now appear as Track 1 (2,3,etc)
          i have listened to all of these and renamed them manually
     music files that were on my phone are now missing
     music files that were shipped on my pc that I never played/wanted are on my phone
In addition, I used to be able to select and play music from "music" on the phone through the radio in my car. Now, the selected music only plays through the phone speaker, while, at the same time, the radio starts playing the entire library in alphabetical order from the first song title.
This is a nightmare.
How do I delete unwanted tunes from my iPhone? How do I get everything to match up? How do I wipe all the music from my phone and my laptop so I can just start over?
much gratitude and many thanks.
And if anyone can tell me how to change my "name" in profile, that would be great too.

should have mentioned:
iphone is connected via usb to pc and they are on the same wireless network
itunes on the pc occasionally freezes/loses the iphone (it disappears from the device list)/says it does not recognize the iphone
all device, app, and os updates have been run in the last week.
All of this misery started on Tuesday--i spent 3 hours on the phone with an apple tech to step me through the match process, and didn't discover all the problems until a few hours later.
Thanks again...

How to play Windows AVI file using Teststand

Hi,
I'm trying to play a Windows AVI (*.avi) file using the Windows Media Player, launched by
a Teststand CallExecutable type step.
When the step executes, the Windows Media Player app. starts o.k., but the file to be played
causes an error which states the file type is not recognised.
Yet if the AVI file is selected in Windows Explorer, it runs fine, i.e. the file type is associated with
Windows Media Player.
If the 1st error is ignored, a 2nd is displayed. This states the file cannot be played, and suggests that
the path may be incorrect or the server is unavailable.
When configuring the Teststand CallExecutable step, the Argument Expression field contains the full
absolute address of the AVI (*.avi) file to load and play.
I have also tried using an expression and also placing the AVI file in the same directory as the
Windows Media Player .exe, but the file will still not play.
If I use the Run utility from the Windows Start menu, I can enter the same details on a single command
line, and the AVI (*.avi) loads and plays just fine.
What should I do to get Windows Media Player to run the AVI (*.avi) file using the Teststand CallExecutable step ?
thanks,
Gary.

Creative Media Source + Windows XP Media Cen

I have always used the Creative Media Source as an audio player and as a method of creating playlists etc.
I just recieved a New Dell XPS400 with a Dell installed Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Music card. This machine has WinXP Media Center Edition installed as an operating system, for which I did a clean re-install. In reistalling the software from the Creative disk that was supplied with the computer I noticed that Creative Media Source was not included as part of the package. I further noticed that the in the download section of the website that this isn't an available download for the Win XP Media Center OS, even though it is available for Win XP Home edition.
Is there a compatibility problem in using the Creative Media Source with this OS ? Is there a conflict with the other Creative software that is typically installed with this card? In case it makes a difference; in playing back wav and mp3 audio files I am not interested in opening up the Win Media Center interface in order to play those files or create playlists, I simply want to associate those audio files to open and play with the Creative Media Source as I have always done with previous versions of Windows XP.
Thanks for any advice and clearification !

Hi m8. Just install the Windows XP version (Professional), and it will work, as I use Creative Media Source with Windows Media Center 2005, no problems. After, try the "product update" under support on the creative site, to see if there are any new things to update, just incase.

Creative Media Source - Problem adding a song to playl

I created playlists for my Zen Vision M using Creative Media Source. I did not use the PC Library but rather used the player as the source and created play lists. I have successfully added songs to the playlists over the past several months. Yesterday when I added a song, it replaced the entire playlist with the one song that I was adding. I tested several more times by creating new playlists and the same thing happened.
I can accomplish the same thing using the explorer but prefer Creative Media Source. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any advice?Thanks. Jay

How do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them?

how do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them as opposed to it scattering copies of my files into a myriad different folders based on the albums they came from when i'm not even interested in keeping whole albums?
I recently converted myself to mac after having been a windows formatted person since the beginning of time. I use last.fm and the client scrobbler only supports iTunes on the mac (scobbling since Nov 06 and i'm now heavily dependant upon it as a means of discovering new music) - if you don't know what that means then take it for granted i have no option other than to use iTunes as my media player whn using the mac. And almost immediately upon using iTunes i was filled with horror.
My tale of woe as follows: I copy all my mp3 files to folder X on my new mac. I copy my simple playlist in to that same folder X. The simple playlist simply lists all the files in folder X in the order i want to hear them in... simple right? And what happens the moment i start playing my simple list? Well you probably all ready know; itunes throws copies of all those files in to the air, scatters them to the four winds so each of them fall into a little folder of their own representing the album they might once have come from. I don't keep whole albums. For me the 'album experience' is a ruse to trick one into listening to weaker material. I only keep the concentrated goodness. I only put up with albums in a previous lifetime because in the days of vinyl i had no other choice apart from spending hours compiling mix tapes. Now i am liberated from these restrictions and have been for the 15 or so years i've been using a computer to listen to music. Until along comes iTunes forcing me backwards in time, frog marching me back into the past.
That simple list i mentioned is my one and only playlist. This single playlist has been evolving for 15 years as tracks are added and removed and their position in the list changes because that song sounds amazing when heard after that other song whereas hearing this song after that song would be like pouring custard over your sausages (for me shuffling is an abomination). And so here is how i've managed this list and managed synchronization of said list and listed files with my mp3 player (currently a Zen).
Adding a new file: After deciding that song is a keeper i will copy it into that simple folder that holds all my music and drop it in to a position on the list i deem most suited for it. Incidentally over this entire 15 year (i'm pretty sure it's been around that long) my media player has been winamp but for the reason previously mentioned i am unable to use winamp in mac world.
Removing a file: fortunately winamp has an option to simultaneously remove a file from the list and the hard drive. And naturally so because after all if i no longer like a song then i want it expunged completely from life or at least from my hard drive and playlist. In the brave new world of iTunes i have to remove from the list there then delete the file from where iTunes copied it from and then the place iTunes copied it to.
Editing the list: drag an item in the list to it's preferred location and select to save it as i would for any other file using any other application... well desktop type application as opposed to one that uses a database as its primary means of storage.
Syncing with the mp3 player: copy drag drop playlist file from the simple folder on the hard drive to the simple folder on the mp3 player as i would for any other file. And then also copy drag drop the most recently created files from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on player after having ordered them by creation date so as to make it easier to select the most recently created. After a while the mp3 player will fill up with the files no longer on the list so i will delete all files from player then re-copy all flies from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on mp3 player.
I do not make changes to the list on the mp3 player so synchronization needs only to go one way: from laptop to player.
So all very simple. Apart from editing the positions of files in the list everything is managed by copy drag dropping and deleting files using windows explorer.
But i'm in a mac and circumstances have forced me in to the corner of using iTunes. And this whole iTunes situation is terrifying for me as over the years i've heard horror stories about it deleting all of someone's music files. Perhaps this may have been by using the software incorrectly but even so, the very fact that it appears possible for this to happen simply by using the software incorrectly and the fact that it happens with some degree of frequency given the number of reports of this happening that i have heard of over the years on music discussion forums fills me with dread that i have to now use this software. And given the software's blatant disregard for the user's choice as to where to store his/her files it's no surprise that this happens. The software is pointlessly doing dangerous things with my data. Please make it stop.
Please can i just at the very least make iTunes play the music from the folder i have chosen to put my files in and not copy those files here there and everywhere without my say so? Thankyou.

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.
