Yahoo Music Engine and Musicma

I was just wondering if anybody has had a problem with Musicmatch after installing the beta of the Yahoo Music Engine. I installed the engine yesterday to try it with my Creative Zen Micro and have been having problems Musicmatch ever since. Basically Musicmatch either will not start or will freeze after a period of time. I apologize if this is not an appropriate group for this question. So far I have not been able to find an other group to post this question. Thanks for any help or advice.

On the contrary. I would stick with just Yahoo. After reading dozens of threads in various forums, Yahoo has had the most success with users getting their players working. Yahoo has also updated their software, which no other subscription service has done as yet. And Yahoo is also the cheapest so far, I'm not sure what MusicMatch is charging tho....
So far i've only seen problems with Music Match's subscription service.

Yahoo Music Engine and Itunes Conflict

I downloaded the Yahoo Music Engine and subscribed to Yahoo Unlimited. It works great, until I go to run itunes again. Something happens where and artist like "The Cars" will be renamed "Cars, The" when a song is played. It does this just for a song that has been played and itunes then sees it as a new artist. So if I play an album the first song is then switched around and it stops playing, because itunes then sees it as the only song the artist has. The only way I have seen to fix it is to reinstall itunes. I don't want to switch all my artists to the "cars, the" format either. Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions

Yahoo Music Engine can't recognize Zen Mi

Is there any definiti've guide out there to get the Zen micro working with the Yahoo subscription service? When I plug in my Zen, WinXP recognizes it and asks me what I want to do (i.e. synch, or take no action), but neither the WMP software nor Yahoo music engine recognizes the Zen. I have the 2.0.05 firmware on the Zen, and have installed both of the following:
Windows Media Format 9.5 Runtime update, WindowsMedia-KB8922-x86 package
</LI>
Windows Media Player hotfix WindowsMedia0-KB902344-x86-INTL.exe</LI>
...but still no luck.
The Creative "plays for sure page" (http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRV...e.com,case=793) says to make sure that WMP is version 0.00.00.3802 or later, but it doesn't say how to get that version. Mine is 0.00.00.3646.

Try this:
Open up your registry (Start, run, regedit)
Browse to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
Right click on this folder
Select Permissions
Click Everyone
Click on the Allow box besides Full Control
Click OK
Restart your pc just to be sure that the settings are saved
Connect your player and hopefully it will work...

Zen Micro - Yahoo Music Engine says no license to x

Here's my problem and what the Yahoo Music Engine FAQ says (please see my comments below):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Get an Error Saying My Songs Are Not Licensed for Transfer When I Try to Transfer to a Portable Device. What Do I Do?
If you see an error indicating your songs may not be licensed for transfer:
This might be an issue with Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscription music if you are trying to transfer subscription music. Your subscription music licenses are renewed automatically, but in some cases, you may need to manually renew them. This might occur if you have not logged on for several weeks. If you have an up-to-date subscription to Yahoo! Music Unlimited and you see an error message when trying to transfer subscription music to a device, or your songs on the device will not play, try the following:
Sign in to Yahoo! Music Unlimited. Be sure you're online.
Download a Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscription song, or play a previously downloaded subscription song from My Music while online.
Reconnect your portable device. When the name shows up in the left pane, your device should now be updated. </LI>
This is driving me crazy.
Following the FAQ advice does not always work.
)Sometimes you can download the song to YME My Music and xfer directly to the Zen.
2) Sometimes after the download you can play any downloaded song from YME My Music before the xfer to Zen will work.
3) Sometimes after the download have to play the just downloaded song from the YME My Music before you can xfer that song to the Zen Micro.
Can anyone provide insight?
(Sorry if this is not exactly a Creative Zen issue.)
Thanks.


It isn't strictly related to our players, but I'm sure there are other people on the board that use the same service, so they might be able to help.
But it might be a good idea to send a mail to Yahoo aswell, to see what they advise.

Can you eject ZMP in Yahoo Music Engi

Hi All
I just subscribed to Yahoo Unlimited To Go this weekend and am loving it ... loving trying out new artists/genres.
Anyhow, is there a way to eject my ZMP while in Yahoo Music Engine? That is ... keep the YME running but just eject my ZMP (like iTunes does with the iPod with a nati've eject button in the software)?
Thanks so much!

There is no "Eject". You can just disconnect the Zen MicroPhoto (presuming you have finished all transfers). I think your idea might not be a bad one. I forwarded your idea on to some folks I know at Yahoo Music to see what they think.
Hey, that's great ... thanks so much! I think there would be just too many people who would "pull the plug" too soon from the USB port ... I waited until the line was solid but you just never know with these things ... I think an eject button (or a "right click" option) could alleviate a lot of potential problems.

Will any Creative MP3/Video Players Work With Vista Ultimate/Yahoo Music Out of the B

i've had a heck of a time getting my zen touch to work with my new vista ultimate dell pc, almost ready to give up. why i'm even thinking of getting another creative device given the above i'm not sure, but if i was, do any of the current devices (20gb or greater, mostly for music but want video capabilities) work with vista and yahoo music correctly and without a huge amount of heartache? and if not, any other devices i should look at? i really like the yahoo music service so don't want to go the apple route. thx!

iTunes is only intended for iPods and iPhones. In recent releases, Apple has instituted changes that prevent it from being used with other devices, e.g. release 8.2.1 deliberately broke the ability to sync with the Palm Pre.
Since you will be using multiple platforms, make sure that all music that your rip or purchase is in MP3 format. Then your music can be used in iTunes, Creative, or any other player or program, without conversion or compatibility problems.
Per the problem with Zen and Vista, you may wish to try the question on a Zen discussion.

Still having problems with Yahoo's Music Service and my Zen Mi

I think I did a pretty good job searching the forums for a solution to my issue, so please don't flame me if I missed something
I'm having major licensing issues with Yahoo's Unlimited Music Service, even after doing the following:
. I'm running Windows XP SP2 (all updates accounted for and installed)
2. I'm running Windows Media Player 0
3. I installed the Windows DRM patch for this issue: KB8922
4. I upgraded the firmware for my Zen Micro from the factory setting to .02.05
I'm still getting errors in MediaSource stating that a license is required to transfer the file I downloaded from Yahoo Unlimited. I get similar errors when trying to transfer in Yahoo's Music Engine.
I read in the forums that firmware version .02.05 is more recent than 2..02. Is this correct? If so, shouldn't version .02.05 have all the enhancements and functionality found in v2?
In any case, this was a gift to my wife for her birthday, and it's currently useless to her at the moment, so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
T.

Thanks for the quick reply, Jason.
I've tried updating from .02.05 to 2..02 several times (although other posts on this forum suggest that this shouldn't be possible). After the dri've on the Micro is formatted during the upgrade process, I get an error when the unit tries to reboot stating that the unit 'can't be started correctly', and that I should reboot and start the process over. The update process fails in the same place every time.
I've tried disabling the Enable Detector feature in MediaSource before updating, but that doesn't help either.
Now, I'm guessing that the only way to upgrade to 2..02 was from .0.03, but I evidently chose poorly. Is there anything I can do, or am I stuck with crippled functionality?
Thanks again for your help!

Yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problem

yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problems.

DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

Creative Muvo TX FM and Yahoo Music prob

We bought both our daughters a Muvo TX FM for Christmas. We joined Yahoo Music and are trying to transfer songs to the device. We keep getting an error about the license not being valid. Could you tell me if there is a way to fix this?
Also, what music download sites are compatible with the TX FM?
Thanks,
Krista

If it's a Subscription/monthly fee type service then the MuVo players aren't compatible.
If it is just a Download service then they should work. How are you transferring the files to your player You need to use Creative MediaSource, Media Explorer or Windows Media Player for DRM (protected) music.

I set my preference to "Google" on the default engine and I keep getting Yahoo. How do I remove yahoo?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

I check an email and hit enter, but it takes me to yahoo search engine. I also can't get into a web site once I put something in the search engine.

I can't read my e-mails from any site but Facebook and Firefox. I cannot get into any website from yahoo search engine but Facebook and email.

How can I get Google and Yahoo search engines to stay on "Top Sites"?

You pin the site to the top sites tiles
1. Hover your cursor over the site on top sites you want
2. Wait for the two buttons to show up in the top left corner
3. Tap the one with the pin so it highlights in blue

Garageband - "System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011). Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play.

Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play. Ive worked so hard on this and I don't know how to fix it. I am not very skilled or knowledgable in computers and barely know how to operate Garageband as it is. I have many different tracks in this song for different drums and beats. Please someone tell me how to fix this, I'm not even finished it! And again I am not very informed on how to work computers as well as most of you are, just saying. thanks!!!
P.S.: In my about this mac thing, it says i have version 10.9.1, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and Memory is 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Could you do this?
Go to Finder
Go to Applications
Go to Utilities folder
Launch Activity Monitor app
go to its Memory tab on top
tell us what you see at the very bottom?
Here is a sample of mine.
I bet your page/swap amount will be huge.
If there is not enough RAM, OS X temporarily stores RAM data on the harddrive and tries to retrieve it back into RAM when needed, unfortunately that is so slow that GB throws an error as it cannot play it all in real time.

N91 8GB and Yahoo Music.

how do i listen to yahoo music on my n91 8gb??i read somewhere that i can listen to yahoo music but how??
At last a nseries phone im truely happy with THE N82

Hi
I suggest checking the supported accessories on the 8GB web site
http://www.nokia.com/nseries/index.html?loc=inside,main_n91
Anythin beyond that is a **bleep** shoot. I know BT is supposed to be interoperable but I can guarantee you since the says of my first ericsson phone it simply has never been fully

PS: I plan to get an 8GB very soon so after that perhaps I can be of more assistance
