WMP Playlists Work with Sle

My iri'ver died after .25 years, and my son's Vision:M died after 3 months, so I'm not sure why I'm considering Zen again (or any other MP3 player, maybe I should just wait for Zune), other than this product is relati'vely affordable (assuming a longer-than-3-month life). Anyhoo, I'm a big playlist user, and I've read some reports that playlists aren't available in Sleek, which would make it a non-starter for me.
Questions:
. Do playlists work in Sleek?
2. Is it EASY to transfer playlists from WMP to Sleek?
I do not want to install/use the Creative Zen software if I don't have to. My experience with my son's unit was terrible, and I've read other reports bashing the software. We transferred directly from WMP for his unit, but he didn't care about playlists, so I don't know if they worked with his unit.
Any help is appreciated.
BTW, I have read the long thread on playlists with Zen Micro http://forums.americas.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=4399&view=by_date_ ascending&page=), but am not sure how relevent it is to Zen Sleek.
Thanks,
Chris

ResaJo,
Thanks very much, that was nice to read particularly considering that one hour ago I ordered the Zen Sleek from Amazon!
I want to understand what you are saying. After I've synced a playlist to the Zen, then I should NOT check it the next time I sync?
This is different from iri'ver. By default, all playlists previously synced were checked the next time you synced, and if you unchecked one, it deleted it from the player. You had to effecti'vely re-sync the entire unit every time you synced (though step was WMP listing all the files that were already on the unit - not recopying them - and step 2 was identifying songs on the playlist that were not already on the iri'ver and copying them to the iri'ver). This process took 0+ minutes even to add just one song. Quite frustrating!

Why don't non simplistic smart playlists work with my iTouch?

I like listening to my podcasts in the order they were released.
So I have a smart playlist that say:
genre=podcast
ignore these podcasts
include only podcasts played < 1
This smart playlist appears in the sync list but does not sync with my iTouch (2nd gen i think).
Other smart playlists like
rating >= *
do sync.
I thought this worked with my 2nd generation classic.
What gives?

Good questions, looks like the limiting number is just broken on iOS devices. For the second, you'd have to try it out. Do they update as songs are played? And if they update do they download the new songs automatically or just put the "cloud" listing in the list?

Wmp 11 pci card work with WPA encription?

I just purchased a new 54G wireless access point since my new laptop (with Vista) doesn't seem to want to give "full connectivity" when using WEP security activated.
I now use WPA and the laptop hooks up fine to the new access point. My problem now, is all my other wireless computers have the older wmp 11 pci cards, and I don't see anywhere in the setup where I can select "WPA" security so they can see the new access point.
Is there a way that they can work with this new access point with WPA?

I have a WMP 11 2.7 - I know for a fact it supports WPA2 because I am connected to the net using it and WPA2 right now.
I knew it had to work cos I got it working under Ubuntu linux using this
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
very helpful guide.
Could not however get the damned thing to work on windows using any of the drivers from this site. So I went back and had a look at the linux guide and found a simple solution. Download this driver
http://sidulus.textdrive.com/bcmwl5sys.zip
Go to C:\windows\system32\drivers\bcmwl5.sys rename the driver there to bcmwl5.old.sys and unzip the new driver to that location. Restart. Hey-presto you should now be able to connect to WPA and WPA2 networks.
I think this will probably only work for the 2.7 version as that is a Broadcom chipset.
You know what really bugs me tho? I shouldn't have to be telling you to do all this, I shouldn't have to do it myself either. Why the hell does this card not connect to WPA with the drivers supplied on this site?!?!?

2 songs that worked with Genius and have playlists Stop working with Genius- Reset Genius?

Is there a way to reset Genius to work with Songs it has stopped working with. Why would genius stop woking with songs? Would it be because I fixed the media library with Tune Up and the song Genere was changed?
I Changed it back and even deleted the 'Genius pref' from the iTunes folder. I hesitate to turn Genius off/on as I lose all the playlists I have gathered, but if I have to to restore function I would. If I was sure it would help?
One of the songs is 'Lovesick' by Lindstrom & Christabel. A popular purchased tune, Another, ''Four ton Mantis' by Amon Tobin is not purchased. Both are 'Electronica' Genre Both worked for many months with Genius with no issue. I even tried re-purchasing the song for $1.00 from iTunes... No dice. Genius says of both songs that not enough similar music appears to be available to refresh my Genius Playlists that Genius already made.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this???

I use USB portable speakers from Trust, but they don't work with iTunes, but they do with wmp... any tips?

Hello,
I currently use Trust USB portable speakers in combination with my windows 7 minilaptop. But the problem I have is that they don't work with iTunes(newest version). However, they do work fine with WMP, any ideas how I can solve it?
Thanks!

Contact the manufacturer of the speakers.

Why has EZ Vinyl/Tape converter stopped working with Itunes? I have used for several years, but now recent 11.0.4 Itunes has a problem with "Script conflict", and EZ has a brain-****. Conversion goes into Itunes Playlist-not song/artist/album listing li

What has stopped Itunes from working with EZ Vinyl/tape converter???? I get a "Scripts conflict" error, and Itunes bugs out.
I had two Geek squad people in to look at, and they can't get it to work like it had for three years. Is 11.0.4 to BLAME!!!!

I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
I suspect these posts will be deleted.
It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

Ipod out no longer works with iOS 6.1

As the title suggests, after updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 the iPod out function no longer works with connected devices. With the previous version, I could hook up my Kenwood car stereo using the lightning to 30 pin adapter and the stereo would "Read" my iPhone and begin playing the first track of my music collection. I also had song, artist and playlist search support.
Now, all I get is a constant "Reading" indicator and can't get past this point.
Is anyone else having any experiences similar to this and does anyone have any suggestions to fix it?
Thanks

Try this.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off.
Set the date one year ahead. Try to get email.
If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to get email again.

Podcast app doesn't work with iTunes this made me want back to 5.1.1

Apple may want to make podcast more popout. they made a NEW app "podcasts"
but I start to hate apple to do this just like the iOS 6 maps.
the new Podcasts app is desinged to be work alone (without iTunes)
it can download subscribe find, ok that's cool but it just won't work with iTunes. maybe apple have data shows more people are iDevice centered.
But I'm an iTunes centered user. I use iTunes to search subscribe download and DELETE Podcast that I've watched. and I LOVE THIS WAY! I DON"T WANT MY PHONE TO Manage or store podcasts!
back to iOS 5. every moming, I sync my iPhone with my iTunes, 1 new unplayed podcasts from every show was synced to my iPhone. and I play them on the way to my company.
at night I watch some other shows on my mac. them sync with iPhone. all played podcasts will not remain on iPhone, and marked as played in iTunes and ready to be deleted. iTunes only keep 4 episodes. all things is automatic. but iOS 6 Changes everything. It won't works with iTunes, and music can't play podcasts anymore. I have to Manually subscribe on iPhone again! and Manualy delete on iPhone and Manualy delete on iTunes.
THIS IS TOTOALLY Unacceptable... for me. My phone or iPad have very limited spaces, and 3G data plan.
Use iTunes means, no 3G needed, download only once!
Use Podcast app and sync over iCould means 3G data and download as the same number as yours devices. for me I have to download a same show for 3 times.
I Hope there is some way that can make the old music app back.

I agree, i tried to do what i always do at my office today on my ipod touch, connect to the wifi at the end of the day to download new podcast episodes for my subway ride home, and instead, iTunes with the ios6 update installed yesterday won't let me do that, it tells me i need the new Podcasts app, fine, i go install it, and then when i go back to music, it tells me my podcasts are moved, i go to the new app, so over i go. The new app is slow, crashes twice trying to get into it, i can't see any way to make a playlist, i managed to download some new episodes, but can't see how to make a playlist still. I found out how to delete it (and doing so brought back Podcasts and my podcast playlist to the music app, huzzah!!)
The Podcasts app is not the quality i want from Apple. I like my ipod, i really do, but it seems Apple is convinced that whenever they make a change they think will make things better, they delete old ways of doing things that work for us, the real people in the world using their devices. I like the notion of a stand alone app for finding and downloading podcasts, but why does that necessitate removing them from the music app to play since primarily i download all my new podcasts at night, listen to some on my computer while working at home, put them in an itunes playlist in the order i want to listen to them, then sync each morning with my PC to have whatever i haven't listened to in a playlist so it can play all day at work while i'm there.
Hopefully Apple can learn from this and the ongoing Maps debacle to maybe not be so quick to tell their users how we have to use the devices, and instead spend some time listening to how we use the devices to make our experience better rather than enforcing how they want it used on us.

Universal Dock's remote doesn't work with iPhone Photos

Has anyone tried Universal Dock's remote with iPhone Photos? I can't get it to work.
The remote does work with iPhone music and video though.

i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

IPad Playlist Problem with Movies

On my iPhone, I was able to setup a playlist of movies and videos so that they would play continually based on my list or in shuffle. On my iPad, after playing the first video, the iPad reverts to the Video application and stops. I then have to manually select the second video but then stops after that video. Is this an issue with the iPad or some settings? I couldn't find any settings that would fix this issue.

to play a playlist of movies continually you can try workaround with changing "Media Kind" to "TV Show" from thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12751134&#12751134
it's worked with iOS 4.2.1 on iPad.

Plugin for Windows Media Player is not working with Firefox 4 on Windows 7

I updated my Firefox to the latest version 4 yesterday, but since this time seems plugin for Windows Media Player not working anymore. When I visit some website with embedded video - like [http://www.ta3.com/sk/live this] - the window with WMP is not displayed and no video is playing. The website reports: You don´t have any plugin for playing of this video.
I reinstalled the plugin for WMP several times - with no success. This problem is on all webpages with embedded video for WMP. The installation of WMP plugin is successfully finished, but no video is playing. I checked the “plugins“ folder in the installation directory of Firefox and everything seems to be OK. Where is also the problem? Please, help me with solving of this problem...

''Just for the record, the extension that conflicted with Windows Media Player is named: Real Player Browser Record Plug-In 14.0.2''

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden?

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden? A few weeks ago Safari was working OK but now I often have to use Firefox to visit certain webpages.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Is there a quick fix?
I'm using Safari 2.0.4
Thanks.

Hi QuickTimeKirk,
I have WMP version 9, as well. I do not use F4M, for many users f4mac is what helps.
I find some items work while others do not. I always get an alert about the wmp , which version it is, takes very long to load, I find it is not consistant with Safari, as seems the poster of this topic has found.
Quoted from ms Mactopia site:

Kuler API doesn't work with Windows 8 apps

Hi, I've been trying to get the Kuler API to work with my app for Windows 8 (I'm using C# and XAML). For example:
string feed = await client.GetStringAsync("https://kuler-api.adobe.com/rss/get.cfm?listType=" + type + "&itemsPerPage=" + items + "&timeSpan=" + timeSpan + "&key=" + key);
However this throws a Http Request Excepion and tells me: "The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR must be followed by LF".
This request worked absolutely fine a while ago but now it throws that exception. If I paste the url into a web browser like Chrome it works fine because Chrome ignores errors like this. Is there any way of fixing this problem? Thanks.
Edit: if the issue can't be resolved, can anyone give an update as to when the new API system is going to be in operation? I haven't heard anything since May and it's now July.

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/windows-media-or-other-plugins-stopped-working
There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

IPhone 4 "iPod" features do NOT work with the new 2011 Infinite M37

just recently bought teh 2010 Infinite M37. I connected the new iPhone 4 to it via the USB cable. It showed connected in the M37 display dash....even showed the typical navigation menu (i.e. playlists, artists, songs, etc). However, I was unable to navigate at all in the menu (it appeared locked....and yes, i had entered my passcode on the iPhone , or play any songs. Also, when I played Pandora, it also did not go through the car speakers.
I've always bought the Infiniti's.....and they've always worked with my iPhone 3G. Looks like either this car is an exception, or something has seriously changed with the iPhone that prevents it from working.
My question is I wonder if Apple is working with any car manufacturers to address this. My guesss is that Infiniti can be the only car that will have this issue.

Many thanks for further clarifying.
I don't know 100% for sure that the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch is different than the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch 2G.
But:
I have read (somewhere) that the tiny pin connectors are different. That is why an iPod Touch 1G could be charged by (for example) a Logitech mm50 Speaker set and an iPod Touch 2G cannot.
An iPod Touch 2G can still connect to the Logitech mm50 Speaker set. It will still play and you will hear music. But it is no longer charging. And I have read of iPod Touch 2Gs getting very hot in these cradles. That can't be good for the poor iPod in the long run.
So for the Apple USB power adaptors to work, (which both came out before the iPod Touch 2G), they must have some override or blocked pin if they can work with both generations of iPod Touches.

Download/Upload and Properties not working with Netstorage

I had applied some authorized updates to a SLES 11, SP2, (OES 11.1, PATCHLEVEL=1) running eDirectory 8.8 SP7, server and rebooted a week ago.
I didn't notice anything wrong initially and thus was living in stupid comfort! :O
I was able to get to the Novell "Welcome" web page, and I can get into iMonitor and Remote Manager, but when I try iManager, I get "Error 503 Service Unavailable".
After looking and trying various postings in the Novell forum unsuccessfully, I loaded iManager on a Linux Desktop and I am working with that, but I can't help think that is somehow related to my netstorage problem.
I am able to successfully login to netstorage and I can navigate around to folders OK.
Local users have a mapped drive and they are working OK with the nss volume.
However, then I log in as admin and select a folder and choose Properties, I get "Error 500 Server Error" and if I try it again after that I get "Error 503 Service Unavailable"
And, when anyone tries to use the other options, such as Upload or Download, nothing happens.
I verified that Apache2 is running and that tomcat6 is running.

Does this point to where the issue is?
I'm not 100% sure if that's the culprit or not. I didn't think netstorage used an odd port like that.
I vaguely remember encountering this before a long time ago.
Out of curiosity, is the actual server name (like: oes11sp1.abc.com) in your /etc/hosts
AND
is that the same DNS name you are using to access the netstorage server?
In our case, we use a different DNS name vs. what the server name really is and we have to adjust the /etc/hosts correctly for some of the internal components to work.
Also, when you installed OES11, did you accidentally leave the checkbox checked to add the local host definition to the /etc/hosts?
