Transferring Music
How do I transfer music from my audio CDs to my computer or player?
You can use Windows Media Player 9 (or later) to rip music from your CDs. For details, refer to the application's Help file.
What is DRM and what type of DRM music can I transfer to my player?
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. It is a form of copy protection for music and subscription content purchased from online music stores. Your player is a mass storage class (MSC) device that supports purchased music in the Windows Media DRM (WMDRM) 9 format. Your player does not support subscription music.
To transfer WMDRM 9 music to your player, use Windows Media Player 9 (or later).
Why do error messages appear when I transfer copy protected music to my player?
Your player supports Windows Media DRM (WMDRM) 9 content. Music files that use other forms of copy protection cannot be transferred to or be played on your player. Some content from online music stores may not be transferable to portable devices, or there may be a limit on the number of transfers. For details, contact your online music store.
Why are some files corrupted when they are transferred to my player?
The file transfer process may have been interrupted. To safely disconnect your player after transferring files, click the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Taskbar.
I already have music on my computer that I play with a media player such as Windows Media Player, RealPlayer® or Winamp™. Where is my music normally located on my computer, and how can I transfer it to my Creative player?
Most media players save your music at the following locations:
For Windows Vista™: C:\Users\<Your Name>\Music.
For Windows® XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Name>\My Documents\My Music.
To transfer music to your player, you can use Windows Media Player 9 (or later), which supports the transfer of Windows Media DRM (WMDRM) 9 copy-protected music. Other software may not.
