Playing WMA Audio Bo

I've downloaded a book from my library (its a protected WMA file)and transfered it to my Zen Nano Plus. I see it in the disply but will not start/play.
This file plays fine on the PC.

Windows Media Player 0.
you need to transfer DRM protected files in a specific way, first make sure that you have the latest firmware on the player, then try this.
. Under sources select PC Music Library
2. If you do not already have the files in your PC Music Library do as follows, otherwise skip to point 3.
- Press the button above the middle window called Import Select the option Import Tracks
- Browse to the location of the files you want to transfer and load them into the Music Library.
3. Connect the Creative Mp3 player to your PC
4. Click the menu button View and Right Panel View. Select your Creative Mp3 player here
5. Now highlight the tracks from the middle window, which you would like to transfer onto your Creative Mp3 player and click the arrow pointing towards the right.
6. This will transfer all files incl. the Copy Protected ones onto your Creative Mp3 Player.
it is important that the files you transfer is in the PC music library folder, I have no idea why but it seems to work better if they are.

  • QuickTime: can't move to a specific point when playing .WMA audio files

    I use a lot of .WMA audio files recorded on my Olympus Digital Voice recorder. Since the latest update of QuickTime I cannot move to a specific point in a file. When I click and drag on the diamond cursor it won't move. The only way to move through the file is to play it or 'fast' forward it - which takes ages.

    I have the same problem. when playing wma or wmv file, simply just cannot drag the progress bar to a specific position. Just have to progress from the very beginning to the end. Once it has been played to the end, I can move the progress bar. Very weird
    I have both flip4Mac and perian installed with the latest version.
    Could anybody please help.

  • Play wma file

    Hi,
    I am beginner so I have stupid question :(
    I would like to play audio file with extension wma. Basic
    idea is get path of wma file to swf as parameter. I have seen that
    quite easy is play mp3 file. I have wma file so it's little problem
    for me. Could I play wma audio file at the flash? Any solution ?
    Thanks.

    A wma file is a Windows Media Audio file, and is (by default)
    loaded into the Windows Media Player. Flash doesn't recognize the
    format (or didn't the last time I checked) so you will have to add
    code to your page to include the WMP plugin. There is a whole
    developer's center on the MSDN site for implementing Windows Media
    files.

  • Creative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AAC

    GCreative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AACZ All right, this is driving me nuts. I have a Zen 32GB and a Vista 32-bit machine. I have been encountering a lot of problems playing AAC files on my Zen--many of the tracks stop short, and the error message "There is a problem playing this audio" appears.
    These are AAC files that I ripped off my own CDs using iTunes, so there are no DRM issues. ? I'm not sure if the problem lies in the actual ripping process (although the problem tracks play on my iPod without problem), the importing into my Zen using Zen Media Explorer, or my Zen trying to play the tracks. I've tried turning off my antivirus program, as well as checking the box in iTunes that double-checks for audio errors after ripping. I thought at first that it could be related to scratched CDs, but it also happens with pristine CDs.
    I have latest firmware (.2.03) installed, and also the latest version of Zen Media Explorer.
    I've searched this forum as well as Google for this exact error message, and don't get any related hits. Can anyone out there help me? Please?

    Thanks for that response--I was beginning to feel a little neglected. It's disappointing, though--one of the reasons I bought the Zen was because it advertised AAC compatibility, so that I could have just one library of AAC files for my iPod and Zen, instead of entirely duplicate libraries of AAC and WMA files. Most of the AAC files I've imported into the Zen play fine--I just have to check all of the tracks to see which ones have that audio error. Usually, if I re-import the track, it comes out fine (eventually).

  • Zen Nano 1GB (not plus) not playing DRM audio bo

    Okay. So I've read very similar problems here, but none quite like mine. I've read through my manual (actually, I only have the downloaded manuals, and there doesn't seem to be one for a Zen Nano GB... It's not a Plus and it's not a Nano 52MB).
    My whole reason for purchasing my Nano was b/c it can play DRM audio files & I want to listen to audio book downloads.
    In any case, I know not to drop and drag my DRM files, that won't work.
    I got a (refurbished, works fine) Zen Nano GB a few weeks go. If I drag and drop regular mp3 or WMA audio files, they work fine. If I sync regular song files with WMP, they work fine.
    It's the DRM files I'm having problems with. I tried sync-ing with WMP , (after opening the DRM file and obtaining the license (these are audio books from NetLibrary.com, and I've followed their instructions as well as those for the Nano). Once I've obtained the license, I sync. The audio book appears on the Nano, but will not play.
    I tried updating (or, perhaps it was downgrading) the firmware, and then used WMP 9 to sync, and managed to get one audio book to play. I thought I was ready to go. It was awesome. The whole book played and I enjoyed it.... but... once I finished the book, and re-synced and tried to add a new book.... nothing.
    I've re-installed various versions of firmware, tried on WMP and WMP 9 AND tried using Creative's own software to sync (after opening the files in WMP and obtaining the license)... Nothing. Lots of wasted time, tho.
    I'm not quite a newbie with mp3 players or computers, but I am capable of "missing" something.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide & please let me know if I forgot anything specific that could aid in any solutions,
    MomLikesMusic (and audio books!)

    To "downgrade" firmware (I don't have any idea if that's what it's really called, it's certainly not an upgrade!):
    Through another posting on this message board, I found a link to this site:
    http://dapjukebox.altervista.org/mod...ownload&cid=85
    which has other firmware versions available (some are still on the Creative downloads page as well, but the oldest ones are not). The site seems to be in Italian (?).
    I downloaded and saved (and virus-scanned) the firmware of _0_02.
    Then, I followed the installation instructions from another firmware download from Creative:
    "To install this firmware, do the following:
    1. Download the [_0_02] file into your local hard disk.
    2. Make sure your player is connected to your computer.
    3. Double-click the downloaded file.
    4. If you are prompted to reset your player, click OK.
    5. If the Find New Hardware dialog box appears on the computer screen, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard.
    6. When the firmware download dialog box appears, click Start and follow the instructions on the screen."
    Because I had nothing on my player, I didn't have anything to lose, data-wise. And it worked. One of these days I may try to upgraded the firmware to see if I can still transfer...
    I saved a few other firmware downloads (updates) to try in the future -- rather than go hunting for them again.
    Please note, the Nano I have isn't listed in the Creative products -- the one I have says Creative Zen Nano GB on it; no where can I find such a thing. Since it's a factory refirbished model I bought off e-bay, I suspected older firmware may work on it... If you have a newer model, it may not work. I'm not an expert (this whole MP3 stuff still boggles my 37-year-old mind sometimes), so be careful what you do to your player!
    Good luck,

    My library is the same way- audiobooks are windows format from OverDrive, and they won't work on an iPod.
    I've been thinking about buying a lame MP3 player for that, too. An el-cheapo, but then I don't know if it will save the place in the book, so I'm still on the fence.

    Your best bet would be to contact OverDrive to see what they allow for conversion. Looking at their website, they state they provide products which are compatible with itunes.

    The Lumia, being a Windows Phone, supports these audio formats;
    AAC, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, HE-AAC v1, HE-AAC v2, M4A, MP3, WAV, WMA 10 Pro, WMA 9
    So yes, AMR is supported.

  • Will not play WMA files, please help.....

    I have the latest version of flip 4 mac and the Quicktime 7.4.1. Why can't any of these programs play WMA files?

    What is the codec of the WMA?
    From Wikipedia:
    Microsoft currently endorses the third-party Flip4Mac WMA, a QuickTime component which allows Macintosh users to play WMA files in any player that uses the QuickTime framework.[49] Flip4Mac however does not currently support the Windows Media Audio Voice codec.

Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.

    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • How can I transfer a WMA audio file with DRM into iTunes?

    Is it possible to transfer a DRM, WMA audio lecture file that I download onto my Dell Inspirion laptop into iTunes? I can purchase and download the file using Windows Media. My goal is to get the audio file onto an iPod Nano. The organization that sells these lectures does not support Macintosh at this time and is only supporting Windows based machines.
    The Dell laptop uses Windows XP as its operating system.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Use ITunes on Dell Inspirio w/Windows XP

    If I understand you correctly, first I burn the file onto a CD using Windows Media Player, then I can import it (rip the file?) into iTunes. After this I could download the file to my Nano.
    I want to make sure I know what you meant by "rip the file" into iTunes.
    Thank you for your help,

    Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
    Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
    Did you source patch the audio tracks?

  • Is there a way to get an iPod touch to play one audio track and stop.

    Is there a way to get an iPad to play one audio track and stop.
    I work in education and particularly music. Teachers are looking to create a playlist of selected track but only want the selected track to play then stop.
    This allows them to talk to the class during presentation and not worry about having to stop playback mid discussion.
    I've been successful doing this from appleTVs homeshared to a library by unchecking songs in the playlist. But It would be useful to instructors who have there own media on their device.

    Thanks for a cognative answer TXMark.
    For what its worth to any readers that work in education and would like this play once and stop 'feature'
    I had great success in homeshareing a iTunes library of teaching material and creating topic specific playlist and used apple remote app to control an appletv connected to that homeshared library. As TXMark suggests, uncheck the songs in iTunes and the media will not automatically play the tracks in sequence.
    note: if you have video media that you would like to have in the playlist, be sure its listed as a music video in the options of get info of track. otherwise the apple tv will not see the media in the playlist and will put it in the movies section of the library.
