Questions about the Jukebox Zen X

What is the difference between the Jukebox Zen Xtra and the Apple iPod? I'm just doing some research to find out which is better adn what the differences are. Also, can you transfer music straight from a CD player to the Jukebox Zen Xtra, or do you have to download the music to your computer first? If anyone has any information on this, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks and God bless.
Sincerely,
Mariah

I have tried the iPod and i currently own a Zen.
One major setback so far i have found witht he Zen is that it's not very shock resistant and unlike the iPod, it does not have a lot of anti-skip time.
One big difference for me is the scroll button on the Zen. When i tried the iPod, i really liked the wheel scroll thingy on the fron of the player. Its simple, fast and painless.
The Zen has a scroll thingy on the side. Its smaller than a finger tip and it's not so very easy to use. Also it digs into the skin and it hurts after continous use. It also doesn't feel very durable...but only time will tell.
The Zen can(unlike the iPod) play WMA WMV files. Much better sound quality, although a little bigger than mp3s.
Big plus for the Zen is the removable battery. A non-existant feature of the iPod.
The Zen does not come with a docking station, which the iPod does.
Another difference is the price. Sort of obvious there, but considerable.
I dunno...so far i have a few problems with my Zen, but i think that's specific to mine alone. If i was you...i would save a hundred bucks and get the Zen...but make sure u keep that store receipt...just in case.
Also, about your transfering music question, I am currently(as i type this) transfering from a CD straight to the player. It rips the CD first and then it sends it to the unit.
Depending on computer speed and whether you have USB 2 or not, it can take less than 5 minutes for 5 tracks.

Question about the new Zen (4

Hi I am looking for a MP3 player that has FM radio recording function. My friend has Vision M and it records FM radio. I was looking at the new Zen (the 4GB one)http://us.creative.com/products/prod...4&product=6999and I think I really like how sleek it looks it's thinner than vision M but yet same screen size. I was wondering if anyone knows if this particular player has FM radio recording function. Your help is greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Nope no FM recording function.
This is wierd cause all the other creative products i've used has FM recording....

Can the Zen Micro Photo only do one thing at a time? Like you can't have pics and music at the same time? "The 5GB version will hold 6000 photos or 2500 songs*. " thats what the website says...im confused please help!
That is referring to the maximum capacity if you were to only use it to play MP3's or only to use it for photo viewing.
So yes, you can carry both MP3 (and other music formats for that matter) as well as pictures at the same time. One can even assume you'll be able to view photos while listening to music.

Question about the new Zen Mi

I was planning to buy a micro but then I saw the new ones and I was wondering if there was any difference between the new two and the old one? apart from the capacities.

Nobody has actually tried one, but I doubt there will be any difference. I'm not sure why a 4Gb is being released, but the reasons for the Gb flash and the 6Gb are pretty obvious (the 6Gb replacing the 5Gb).

Question about the Creative Zen pla

I?have a problem with the album art. It seems that all my songs in one folder have all the same cover art eventhough the songs where a mix of artists to begin with. Is there a way to use album art or fix this problem?

Nope no FM recording function.

This is a two part question about the creative 16gb Zen?

8This is a two part question about the creative 6gb Zen? First of all, my battery life dropped very suddenly. One charge I was getting the full 30 hour battery life and the next it dropped to under ten. I tried using their tips on how to extend the battery life and I am still getting less than 0 hours of battery life. Why would it dropped more than half the amount between charges? I tried recharging it after it ran out and still the same thing. Any help?
Second, (I am adding this question because it might relate to the first in some way) my mp3 player has been behaving strangely lately. For example, some artists sometimes have letters removed or all but the first end up being removed. But, if you reset the player, the artists go back to the full name. Also, my player has been taking a little longer than usual to turn on. It takes about 30 seconds to turn on instead of the 5-0 that I'm used to. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
My Zen is only 4 months old, and I would be very upset it it's breaking already. Please, if you have any suggestions on how I can fix what's happening, post them. (Even if they?probably won't work, they're worth a try.)

< This is an unusual one; never heard of it before. All I can suggest is cleaning up and perhaps reflashing the firmware. If it still is doing this, then get the thing exchanged pronto.
My guess is that the problems are indeed closely related.

[Zen Micro]Questions about the Firmw

Hello,
I have some questions about the firmware of the Zen Micro
. Can I use the Zen Micro without any Software (MediaSource?) on my PC (winXP) when im using the Firmware Creative Zen Micro *PlaysForSure/MTP Firmware 2.00.2 ? This means that i copy my Music only by drag&drop from the Explorer after my Computer has detected the Zen Micro as a Removable Disk!
2. I know that the Zen Micro has two parts with the Normal Firmware. The "Removable Disk" Part and the "Playable" Part which can only used by the Software! But what happens if my . question is right. How can i seperate this two parts?
Thanks for answers

I don't have the 2.x firmware, but I think I'm correct in saying this :
with the 2.x firmware, your Micro becomes an MTP compatible device, which can be recognized on PCs having an MTP compatible OS (operating system). For the moment, the only OS that fits the bill to my knowledge, is Win XP with Windows Media Player 0. In this combination of MTP device + MTP OS, you don't need to install other drivers, and you can do drag and drop
BUT ! The 2.x firmware doesn't make your device a "removable disc" in the traditional sense of the word. It doesn't become a file system, like a USB memory stick.
I hope I was clear enough to see the difference :-)Message Edited by fred_be9300 on 04-03-2005 02:52 AM

Questions about the stereo jack p

Hi everyone,
I , citizen of the Netherlands,Europe, have some questions about the well known problem stereo jack defect.
- What is the warranty-period of the Zen Micro , in case my stereo jack will fall out?
- How to get a RMA and how long will this take to get it done and sent... will it cost me a bomb (sent and repair costs)?
- Do you get a NEW one back or do they repair the old one for you? As far as i can read it here the chance is big a NEW one will get the same problems one day.. ;P
By the way, it suprises me that the company is still producing these "wrong" micro's, this problem is known for months!Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to just produce the right ones immediatly instead of repairing them?
Hope anyone can help me out
Thanks in advance
A owner of a Zen Micro White and afraid to get the stereo jack problem one day :P

Thanks SSR for your reply.
I was wondering how serious the jack problem actually is... according to the posts here it seems very common to have these problems. But this can be misrepresented because this is maybe just the tip of the iceberg.
Maybe are there anyone who have the Zen Micro for at least 6 months and WITHOUT any problems?
thx

A question about the impact of SQL*PLUS SERVEROUTPUT option on v$sql

Hello everybody,
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL>
OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
So, here is how I proceed
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
-- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
BEGIN
    SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
    FROM v$session
    WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
-- Just check to see the result
SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
    :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
       129   1067
SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
BEGIN
    SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
    FROM v$session
    WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
:SAVED_SQL_ID
9babjv8yq8ru3
SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
CHILD_NUMBER   SQL_ID          SQL_TEXT
0              9babjv8yq8ru3    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
This was precisely what I did
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hi Dariyoosh,
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it <b>to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement</b>. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.

Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

Hi, dear,
I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
Thanks in advance.

1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

Hope this helps

Two questions about the new iWeb

Hi
I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
thanks

Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off.

Question about the sensor... just got my 4s yesterday after screwing up my 3 with the laterd version update. EVery call I have been on has either changed to speaker, called another number or ended the call or activated facetime, which I have turned off. never had this trouble with my 3...I don't even want to talk to anyone on this phone! Is the sensor bad? That is what the AT&t rep suggested.

Restore as new... if the problem still continues then there is a hardware issue.
If it stops after a restore as new, then the issue is with the backup the device is currently setup with.

Question about the DB adapter

Question about the DB adapter
ns2006.0.7
Question:
It seems that we can only have 1 db adapter, but in the adapter defiition we have to specify the database. If I want to communicate to several different databases on different platforms, Oracle / SQL I need to install a DB adapter for each database connection.
I can't figure out how to add a second DB adapter, does anyone know how?
Thank you
Daniel
Safeway Inc.

Hi
We're new at developing our own agents etc. We've leveraged the supplied DB agent and written the relevant adapter, however we're struggling with the transformation.
Could I be cheeky and ask if anyone would be willing to share a transformation they have written for the DB adapter? Unfortunately no-one in our team has had past XML experience, so we're trying to backwards engineer from examples.
Thanks, Meghan
