Does the device play all WMA files, or just crippled sorry... protected files?

...or did everyone buy an iPod instead?

Can't answer the question but does anyone know if the new(ish) Zen Xtra 60Gig appears as a drive in Windows or do you need to use the Creative software to access it?

I rather fancy one as it can play .wav files and is big enough to store a few piano concertos but I would also like to use it for data without the overhead of needing special software to get at it. Any info I can get from the Creative site says something about "using the Windows Explorer plug in to transfer photos and data..."

WWSD - are those normal WMAs or DRM-crippled WMAs? i.e. can you play those files anywhere or just your Zen?

iSore ?

As far as I know they play all wma's just fine, incluiding those evil, evil spawn of satan DRM one's too.

what would scooby do

I can play them anywhere (I think) - to be honest I'm just using silly old mp3 at the moment.

Let me have a play and confirm.


Also to answer the other question above - yes the nx appears as a hard drive if just plugged into windows xp without the drivers installed (the driver you use dictates what the thing acts like)


I use musicmatch to rip and copy cd's to the NX - not the supplied software

what would scooby do

Yup just ripped a classical music cd to WMA and they play just fine.
