Technical question about Creative MediaSource 3.30.21‏

Hello:
I use Creative MediaSource software to manage my Creative MP3 player. When I hook up the MP3 player using the USB cable, I can play songs in the "player" within the MediaSource organizer. How do I set it so that the songs (which reside on the MP3 player) will play on my computer speakers (not through the MP3 player)?
Im summary, when I play a song that li'ves on my computer, it plays through the computer speakers, but songs that li've on the MP3 player play on the MP3 (even though I'm controlling them via the MediaSource software). How do I play all of these songs on my computer speakers?
Thanks in advance for any help!

R.U. lazy? Why can't you try it by yourself.
Well, I tried it. But it pops out a message saying my system doesn't have the proper components (some such thing -- I'll try to get the exact message next time)...
I have an SB Audigy card properly installed with the latest drivers (and functioning without problems).
As for nvidiot's suggestion to run the setup.exe program. I believe I also tried that method and it showed up the same error message (sorry, will jot down the message next time).
However, I'm interested in this "ctcomp" utility you mentioned that can patch the setup files. How is the ctcomp used? (I recall having an experience with a pre-patched Audigy2 drivers quite some time back. It already had a prepatched ctcomp.dat or some similar thing which allowed the Audigy2 sound driver to install on Audigy sound card.)
So I surmise this method might work (assuming the Creative MediaSource relies on the same identification mechanism).
~~~~~~~~
(edited/added)
Ok, I've finally gotten this thing to install. I probably wasn't running the correct setup.exe program as mentioned above. I went to the SETUP\SETUP directory and run the SETUP.EXE there. The CMS program started to install and after a few minutes of hard disk activity, the setup program told me to restart the system, after which the Creative MediaSource program is installed. (no need for the ctcomp thing)
Thanks to all that helped me here.Message Edited by dta on 0-08-2006 03:3 AM

A technical question about time.

I find myself wondering what would be the total playing time of my iTunes library. How can I determine this? I could copy the total file into Excel then add up the time column, but as I have 12,000 tracks I doubt Excel could handle it. Is there a simple way to do this?

Select Library - Music and look at the botton center of the iTunes window.
Click it to change the displayed info.

2)can the creative zen vision m play music videos and home videos?
3)can anyone suggest any completey safe music stores i can use to get my music.(last time i downloded a music place to get my music from called share it almost destoyed my comp.
4) if not would i be able to burn my songs from itunes and use the c.d. to put them on my creative?
thank you so much i'v looked all over the internet and i could't hide any answers.

. There are MANY transmitters out there. I recommend searching back for past threads with recommendations.
2. Yes, if they are in a suitable format.
3. I already gave you a link in a previous question to a thread all about this. Please don't post duplicate questions.
4. With iTunes you either need to burn the tracks to a CDRW, then convert to MP3/WMA, or use a program like JHymn to convert (Google JHymn).

Technical question about encoding: Experimentation may be needed, but..

I work with a team producing a weekly video for distribution to two other sites. Up until now, we have been capturing (Canon XL2 into FCP on iMac via FW), doing a few quick edits and sending to a DVD via compressor. As an aside, we also have compressor put out a smallish web-version for upload to our website.
We distribute the video DVD for use with a live audience, whose sole engagement with content from us is via video (We are a church). It's working, and has been working for about a year. Minus a few mishaps - mostly human error stuff...
I would consider recommending a move to distributing video as files instead of physical DVDs. The potential advantages I see are:
1. We can encode at a higher quality than DVD
2. No time spent burning the DVD
3. No physical transport of a physical device (made of cheap plastic) - We could upload/download via Dropbox or some similar model.
4. The technician starting up the playback wouldn't have to fight with the DVD-player going to "sleep".
My question for this forum is on the technical side of things. Can we use FCP/COmpressor to actually put out a higher quality video if it's a file to play on a Mac? If so, how? What kinds of encodes should we experiment with?
Thanks all!

Can we use FCP/COmpressor to actually put out a higher quality video if it's a file to play on a Mac?
yes
If so, how?
Simply use Compressor to encode whatever comes out of FCP. There are lots of presets for h.264 based file generation from highly compressed to nearly visually lossless.
What kinds of encodes should we experiment with?
See previous answer.
The key element is all the computers must be able to play h.264 quicktime files. Current Macs will have no issues. And, as long the PC people download and install a current version of Quicktime Player, it is a cross platform compatible format.

Management needs to address this question about Creative Cloud subscriptions

Hopefully there is a satisfactory solution for this question. Then and only then will I feel comfortable giving Creative Cloud a try. I own Production Premium CS5.5 and Design Premium CS6. In addition I have stand alones of Photoshop CS5.1, Premiere Pro CS6, Acrobat Pro 9, Lightroom 4 (2 copies) and probably another package I'm not thinking about right now. If I convert to Creative Cloud and two years from now when CS7 or possible CS8 is the current version and I decide end my subscription to Creative Cloud reverting back to the disk version ownership, I will be required to pay additional money because I didn't keep my disk ownership current. I used to upgrade my Production Premium Suite every other version. I owned CS4 in that suite and when CS5.5 was released, I was required to pay an additional $250 (if memory is correct) because I hadn't upgraded to Version CS5. I think that subscribing to Creative Cloud should not open me up to my license being devalued because I chose the subscription (at essentially the same price for what I use) over buying the disk. Adobe, will you comment on this situation and add it to management discussions to assure faithful customers we won't have our current licenses put into jeopardy?

I like the idea of Creative Cloud but subscribing to it for a mandatory 1-year is binding.
Thare are two joining options: monthly (higher monthly fee) or 12 month contract, billed monthly(lower monthly fee)

And after the one year, do you go on a month-to-month or do you have to sign on for another year? I'm sure that's in the fine print someplace but I haven't noticed it.
Auto-renewed unless you cancel.
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/faq.html
At the end of my annual membership, what do I need to do to renew it?
If you would like to renew your annual membership for another year, you do not need to do anything. Your account is set to auto-renew so that you will not experience any interruption in access to your Creative Cloud products and services.
How do I cancel my one-year membership?
To cancel a one-year membership, you can either go online to the Account page on www.creativecloud.com or contact Adobe Customer Service. If you cancel your membership before meeting the 12-month commitment date, you will be charged 50% of the remaining amount left on your contract.

I hope a lot more people ask the question and do as I'm doing, not buy into Creative Cloud until a satisfactory solution is arrived at. I like the looks of the CC package and I think it has value but not at the loss of value for my Creative Suite.
Not sure you'll get a definitive answer to that before CS7 arrives.
And you'll need a CS6 perpetual license in order to upgrade to CS7.
So I suspect a CS6 purchasing/upgrading decision (Cloud or traditional upgrade) will have to be made based on the info currently available.

Question about Creative Cloud Support

I believe I still have about 20 days left of the original support that came with my subscription to Creative Cloud. How do I use that support? I don't think I've talked to support other than in the product help questions yet. I also need to find out what type of support I should buy after that runs out. I'm a designer who has started building websites with Muse. I am also trying to understand Business Catalyst hosting. "Thank you", in advance!

certifies the Domain, or is that for GoDaddy to do?
Not clear on what you mean by certify the domain? If you mean purchase and register a domain, then yes, you can do it with GoDaddy
    - can direct me to the web Business Registration site. Is there a cost for web B.Registration?
Again, not sure what web business registration you are referring to?
- can generate or provide a SSL certified domain certificate for use on my client's web-site?
Yes, all BC sites use a shared certificate under the worldsecuresystems.com domain.
- provides SEO, and what exactly does that include?
Business Catalyst has all of the SEO features such as Meta tags, SEO friendly URLS, etc.
    - has custom targeted lists available for different industries & businesses in your e-mail marketing program?
Absolutely. BC has a great email marketing setup. It does what you mention and more ....
- has a way to e-mail the support department directly? Or communicate in a way other than chat? I am new to web-stuff. I've been a Marketing/Advertising/Print designer/production guy for 30 years.
      (I remember squeeky marker & chalk layouts, and keylining!)
There is an additional support forum for paid partners as well as faster track to Live Chat and second level support.
- can tell me how to become a partner. I don't want to pay a thousand dollars. But I have at present, 4 sites I will be doing. I would guess I'd be an "individual" or "developer".
You can become a Free partner. It doesn't have all the extra support features and many of the perks though. Any paid partner such as myself can send you a promo code for a small 5% discount on a paid partnership as well.
If you have already created a BC site, you are already a Free Partner. Go to anyone of your BC sites you created and add /partnerportal to the address. Example; mysite.businesscatalyst.com/partnerportal
Login with your ID that you used when creating the sites. You can access all of your sites from that one location.
Hope that helps!

Technical questions about the BO repository

Hi to all,
I order to understand how BO (talking about BO 3.0) act internally, I need to know the following questions:
- What information is held in the repository database? Content or just metadata?
- What is held in the properties blob of the bo_repos.cms_infoobjects6 table?
- What is held in the data blob of the bo_repos.cms_relations6 table?
- Is there any possibility to change directly the UID of an object (eg: a universe) in the database directly? This action could be helpful to work with versions..
Is there any technical documentation?
Many thanks,
Bea

Hi Bea,
I tested your case in my environment. After changing the definition of a key figure in my universe (this should be your development version), I renamed it (used the name of a universe on which I already had some reports running on) and tried to export it in the BOBJ repository. The designer prompted me to select if I want to copy or move my universe. I choose to create a copy of my universe and on the next step I was asked if I want to overwrite the universe with the same name (in your case this should be your production version). I confirmed overwriting the universe and started then my WebI reports (production reports) in the InfoView. Everything worked fine and the modification was visible.
Please note that if during the development phase you remove/rename/change the visibility of universe objects (classes, dimensions, key figures), which are used in your existing WebI reports, then you will indeed may have problems. Even if you delete a class or object and add later a new one with the same name, there's no garantee that a WebI report which was using this object will work.
Still if you just modify or add objects during the development or if you remove first the objects, which you want to delete, from your reports, then you should not have a problem with the approach we are discussing here.
Regards,
Stratos

Technical question about photo files... involving Q, i think~

(Note: several questions in this post, scattered)
Does anyone know how photo files retain their information given from the camera? For example, the time and date that they were taken. Is there another way or program that allows me to view these details swiftly? Are these little pieces of information easily lost if I transfer the images from one application/program to the next??? I'm sentimental, and like being able to refer to images when I need an exact time for an event...
I love iPhoto for its organization of images and how convenient it is to glance over to the left to find the "Information" tab containing the time and date of when each photo was taken.
However, after making a back-up of my iPhoto libraries folder, I realized that there are about 5 or 6 GB of extra information created for my 4000+ images (due to thumbnails created for each image, etc) versus just having them in folders would save me 5 or 6 GB. Additionally, when I look at my images through finder, I find redundant files, like:
IMG_0001 and IMG00012 (these two images are exactly the same). Is there a way to get rid of these files safely?
Thank you all so much for all the help.

That info in stored in the photo file as EXIF data - many programs will read and display the EXIF date - Generally it travels well with the photo
IMG_0001 and IMG00012 (these two images are exactly the same). Is there a way to get rid of these files safely?
The only safe way to get rid of photos in iPhoto is to delete them using iPhoto - drag them to the iphoto trash and empty the iPhoto trash

This buys you non destructive editing, the ability to revert to the original at any time and virtually unlimited organization capability with keywords, albums, smart albums, ratings etc.
with the low cost of storage I find the trade off a good one

Question about Creative Earbuds

I just bought a pair of CREATIVE LABS EP-640's for my new zen. I had been using the Sony MDR-EX75's and wow, what a nice difference. My question though is are EP-630's really the Sennheiser CX300 and the EP-640's really the Sennheiser CX400? Pricing is amazingly the same...

fr0ggyguy,
The Zen V player does not has any memory expansion slot for you to add in extra memory card.
As for the size of Audible content, I will leave it to others to advise you as I'm not a Audible user.

A question about creative headpho

Hi when i bought my ZEN MICRO i got creative white headphones like everyone.. but something happend to them, a probelm with the bass one side has uge vibration, noises, less volume, less bass..
so my question is do the headphones have a guarantee?

W_N wrote:
I see but, my store from where i boughted my Zen M sayd that the headphones dosent have guarantee..
what should i do? because they are really new.. only month too and now they cant work anymore..
I will tell you one thing,never shop that store again,that's the biggest load I have ever heard.One component of a product not covered ?.. I would write a letter to the corparation and tell them what kind of treatment you had and tell them you won't be shopping there anymore since they do not honor defecti've returns.
In the U.S. most states have laws governing consumer rights that are somewhat along the lines of the law in my state,California.
In California, unless an item is sold "as is," all new merchandise (except clothing and consumable products) that is purchased primarily for personal, family, or household use has a warranty implied by law.
This implied warranty states that the merchandise must be fit for ordinary purposes. It exists for at least 60 days, or for as long as any written warranty accompanying the item (up to one year).
If an item that is sold with a written warranty is defecti've, you are entitled to have it repaired - and if it cannot be repaired, to have it replaced or to receive a refund of the purchase price.
If there is a written warranty and the defecti've item is too big to return, the company must either pay shipping costs or provide service at your home.

Quick question about Creative Cloud for students

Questions about Creative Zen MP3 Players.....which one to b

I had a Rio Carbon 6GB and I really love it (until it died on me), and I heard that Creative Zen 8GB, Creative Zen Micro 8 GB, Creative Zen V Plus?8GB are good choices to buy? I have readed all reviews from PC World, CNET, MSN, and all three sound good, but what are main differences between them that I need take in to consideration before I buy? I also I have read that you can replace the battery in all of them....is this true? What is the battery life before it needs to be replaced and how much? Thanks

If you listen to a lot of audiobooks, then I personally recommend the Zen V Plus 2, 4 or 8 GB. It doesn't have a user replaceable battery.
The battery is is built into the player. The audiobooks and albums seem much easier to find and use than on the Zen Micro. You can find these players on the Creative Savings Center refurbished for about half the price of a new player. (The Zen Micro, you can find on eBay used The refurbished Zen V Plus Players I have received when ordering, have been brand new and work just fine. They have a 90 day parts/labor warranty. I consider the 2GB Zen V Plus to be a throw-away(when or if it breaks after the warranty) at $35.99 plus shipping.

Quick question about Creative DVD audio pla

Hi all,
I loaded all the drivers and software that came with my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. The kit came with a DVD audio sampler disc. When I put the DVD audio disc into my computer DVD ROM dri've, it automatically navigates to the Creative Audio DVD player. The only problem is that the "play" button is greyed out. It will not play the disc. It show in the staus window that the sampler disc is there and ready to go. I have tried every button but can not get to play.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

Now when I launch the DVD audio player and try to click on a button it just freezes up and have to end the program in task manager

Non-technical question about naming conventions used in API

What does the prefix `PF_` stand for in all the function names in the AE SDK? It's not immediately obvious to me, and was just curious. I like to have a sense of how the naming conventions came to be when I'm learning new code.
Thanks!

Interesting question. PF is the abbreviation for the Plug-in Filter package in After Effects.
