Zen Micro drag and drop? Is this true?

[akerman]

I just read that creative has added "PlayForSure" support to their Zen Micros - meaning that it is now possible to just drag and drop music files onto it, instead of using some program!

Is this true? This was my primary reason for not getting it, I JUST bought a muvo v200 yesterday, if this is true... I'll have to cancel that I think =)

With the new firmware, yes.

you would still need to upgrade to wmp10.

 

[Ser_Cheese]

but what for? I didin't want to upload/download mp3 but to have access to my pdf files which I had uploaded from my computer

well, my friend who has the micro couldn't get windows xp to recognise it as a external drive until he upgraded to wmp10.

in my town many people use winamp instead of WMP so it will be a problem

it so sucky... ZM should work without any other programs like a flash drive and it won't

I use it as a Drag and Drop, works great, The only thing i use WMP 10 for is to just listen to my songs on the computer.

if you could find the muvo2 fm, that would be a better choice as it gets recognised as a portable hardisk without any pre-requisites.

ok, Cyclone told me what to do and it works

I wouldn't change mi ZM for anything else!

Now I'm listening to Phil Collins Quote:

"I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why."

if you got songs in other languages especially like chinese, japanese, using wmp10 and mtp firmware will get the language displayed correctly without having to change your computer default region etc that's required to make them work with 1.x firmware and creative media source.

You don't actually need to use WMP10 to drag & drop files, it must simply be installed on your system.

 

[Ser_Cheese]

yeah, but my friends typically have WMP9 on their computers, simply just don't uninstall it after Windows reinstallation

we use Winamp or (like me) foobar 2000 and we don't need anything else

so as you can see, if I'd like to come to a friend with my ZM I have to have a CD with WMP10, brr...
but I hope that tip given by Cyclone will help.
well, anyway my friend has gone back to England right now and we won't use those new information on his laptop + my ZM

maybe it's a tip for the future
