Zen Micro - copying WMA files with DRM using WM

I have Windows 98SE and Windows Media Player 9. I was wondering, if I get a Zen Micro, will I be able to use WMP 9 to copy DRM-protected WMA files to my device, or do I have to use the Creative software? I read in another post something about the 2.x branch of the firmware being needed for Plays For Sure compatibility -- does this mean I would need this firmware to use WMP? Does the 2.x firmware have the fixes for the battery drain problem, etc.
One more question. With my Muvo TX FM, Windows Explorer recognizes it as a removable dri've, and I can drag-and-drop non-DRM MP3s directly to it. Is this possible with the Zen Micro?
Thanks,
Huck

Copy a file with same filename using XI - module experts please help!

Guys,
Felix Jeyareuben had an excellent blog on how to copy a binary file with XI.
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/15/copy-a-file-with-same-filename-using-xi
It is a shame by the way that such a simple thing has to be this complicated in XI, but that's another question...
So after I created the EAR file and successfully deployed the modules on our XI server, I got the following file adapter error, when I was trying to use it:
Sender Adapter v2727 for Party '', Service 'BS_TA_XI_DEV':
Configured at 2006-11-30 14:04:15 EST
History:
- 2006-11-30 14:10:00 EST: Error: java.lang.ClassCastException
- 2006-11-30 14:10:00 EST: Processing started
Can you give me any clues what could have gone wrong?
This is the first module I deployed so I might have messed up something simple, but I cannot figure this out.
Also how can I debug this?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Viktor Varga

Do it like in the mentioned blog, but don't do any mapping. That will be fine.
> Michal,
> In my adapter I have the following:
> 1) localejbs/xi_file_module/ReadBinaryBean
> (LocalEnterpriseBean)
> ) localejbs/CallSapAdapter
>                         (LocalEnterpriseBean)
> ine.xml file I have this:
> <enterprise-bean>
>   <ejb-name>ReadBinaryBean</ejb-name>
> <jndi-name>xi_file_module/ReadBinaryBean</jndi-name>
>   <session-props/>
> enterprise-bean>
Check your EAR if there are any libs from the adapter framework and delete them if necessary.
After deployment check in your visual administrator if your EAR is available.

Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
Any help greatfully received!

How can I copy a file with all attributes

Is there a way within Java to copy a file, with all its file attributes?
I have seen a number of custom methods posted on these forums for copying the contents of a file to a new file with the same name in another location. The problem is that these methods don't copy the file attributes, particularly the creation date.
If there is no way to do this in Java, is there a way to have Java execute an operating system command, such as "COPY" or to access the O/S to change the file attributes?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

This is how runtime executes a batch file.
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start c:\\batfile.bat");
p.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}

Old music files with DRM protection

I have some old music files with DRM protection. I don't see an option to pay for an upgrade so I can get DRM-free files. Is there a way to do that? I keep reading posts about iTunes Plus but they're all old posts so I assume that option is gone. Thanks!

It is back from time to time. Keep watching under quick links

Mobipocket ebook (prc file with DRM) on webOS PALM PRE

Hi everybody
I want to know if i can read ebook bought on Mobipocket (prc file with DRM)
Thanks a lot
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (SFR)

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
Hope this helps,

Is it possible to play .rm and .wma file with java?

Hello Friends,
Please tell me,
how to play .rm and .wma file with java?
Thanks,
Harsh Modha

As far as I know, you can not play those files.
Here you have the complete list of supported formats. Hope this helps.
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html
Maybe you should try to convert from wma or rm to a supported format before attempting to play it.

Using WMA files with Mac OS 9

I've come across a bunch of WMA format files. I tried to open them with every tool I have (lots). But none would.
What app do you suggest for opening/converting WMA files?
Gary

I actually had a copy of Windows Media Player on my computer. So I gave it a try.
It let me select a WMA file from its "Open File" dialog box but when I selected the WMA file, I got an error saying
"The channel does not support the stream format"
and would not proceed.
So I guess I'm still looking.

Replacing zen micro's hard drive with compact fl

I dropped my zen micro the other day and the hard dri've is dead
And I m li've outside the us and the warranty expired
So its dead and buried and I was going to get a new anyway
But while it sits there I dissembled the zen micro
And found that the hard dri've is a Seagate st 5gb
And the interface is compact flash
And here?s a crazy though can I put a memory card compact flash
Say GB or 52<SPAN> MB
Could it work?<SPAN> And reload the firmware from pc?
Waiting for your reply guys
Please help if this works it will be very cool

I ordered a dead unit off eBay, on a whim. Just like the description said, the HDD was bad, but hey thats a minor detail right? For me, the CF card swapped in fine, originally I was using a little 6mb until this one came in the mail (gb Kingston.) Sadly, neither have worked. I can format the disk within recovery mode, but I cant connect to my computer to upgrade the firmware. Also, I cannot load the original firmware, so essentially the player is bricked. This is a bit of a stretch, but could someone extract the firmware this way?) Back up all of your music2) Reboot into Recovery Mode3) Format the dri've4) Choose reload firmware5) Update firmware through Windows6) Using the "Take apart a Zen Micro" guide, remove the microdri've or CF card you are using for the Zen Micro HDD7) Using a standard multi-card or CF card reader, insert the card extracted in step six8) Copy the contents of the CF card in its entirety, and send to a zip or rar.9) Upload the zip using a free file-sharing website, such as Megaupload0) Tell us all about it!
Could someone do that for me? I'll make you cookies The reason I'm looking for the extracted firmware is I believe that the player will recognize whatever is on the card, regardless of how it got there. Since I cannot interface with my device using USB, this looks like my only option. Unless someone else knows of a site or file that has an extracted firmware that came from the .exe, or knows how to do that without plugging in a player?~ScabiesAdmins, let me know if I'm upsetting the feds. And if not, then let me know if the card has a proprietary file allocation system?****EDIT****Indeed, the CF card has been formatted to some Creative File System (not real name,) therefore I cant get into it. BUT I did manage to get the firmware to update, and the player is now clickin along just fine!IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH FIRMWARE, ALWAYS TRY MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER.Now you know...

Zen Micro - transfer lock ups with latest firmwa

I've been trying to transfer mp3 files to my firmware upgraded Zen Micro and find that the transfer slows down and then locks the player after 30-40 files have successfully copied. This happens with ..0 and 2.2.02 firmwares.
The player will then remain in a 'acti've' docked state (black arrows) until the battery is removed. After this lock up tags on the mp3 files are messed up and display Chinese looking characters in the Details View.
This happens on two different computers with USB2.0, one Intel based and the other AMD.
Two questions - anyone know if this is a known issue being worked on for an imminent firmware update? And secondly - is the problem aggravated (or even created) because I am trying to copy files over from a directory tree (mp3's sorted into artist/album/ folders) rather than one flat folder with all mp3s in it (ie. in one single folder).

I'd try transferring fewer files at a time and see if that works.
You might be on to something with copying from a directory tree too. See if transferring the files in smaller groups from one folder helps out.
You can always organize the artists/albums later in Zen Micro Media Explorer or Creative MediaSource.

Easiest way to access windows media files with DRM?

hi,
i've got a whole bunch of music and vid files from an old PC that I can't access on my MBP because they use windows media DRM that is not available for OSX. they won't play with flip 4 mac either.
my question is: what's the easiest and least invasive way to get access to these files on the MBP? I realise I could use bootcamp and install XP, or do the same with parallels.. but, I don't want to sacrifice the huge amount of drive space needed to get XP working (nor do I really want to have to buy a copy of XP) with either bootcamp or parallels, because I'd really never ever use windows.. only ever to access these files.
I've heard there is another virtualisation option out there that doesn't even require a full copy of windows, but I don't know what it is or if this was just mistaken hearsay. if anyone has any ideas about if something like this exists, I'd like to hear about it..
cheers...

You might be thinking of Crossover. Not sure if Windows Media Player works under it, but their website has info on requested and working apps.
Best of luck.

Creative Zen Micro Photo not work with

Hi,i formatted my hd 2 days ago.
I loose my cd with creative zen micro photo expoler.
When i connect my mp3 with usb cable appears an autoplay window of windows Xp that show me what i cand do with my mp3(Transfer Files with Windows media is the only option).
How I can do to use my mp3 with Creative Organizer?
Where i can find creative zen micro photo explorer?

Top of page on Creative banner, click Support-> Downloads-> MP3 Players-> Zen-> Zen MicroPhoto, chose your language and Operating System and select the software that you need.
Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the Show Details... pop-u
ps.
Looks like Zen MicroPhoto Media Explorer isn't posted any more, so Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 (52.2 MB) would probably be your best bet.
I have had no luck getting MediaSource 5.x to work with my computers and I've tried very hard.

Zen Micro installation problem - file "data2.cab" neede

Hey
Trying to install my Zen micro software when it says, " Please insert dist that contains the file data2.cab"
I have the installation CD so why is file not on it'sDan

It might be a problem with the CD, but it sounds an odd error to get.
You can of course download the latest drivers and software from the download page for your player, so this is probably the best workaround as well as getting the latest software.
