Windows Media 11
 

...is crap, it seems least not only me that it wont let u sync with mp3 player nor will it transfer by other means even burn anymore:mad:

Seems there has been a stop on using it for its intent of being a multi functional media player to ........................ just a player:(

Ah well winamp it is then:D

welcome to teh DRM world

Re: Windows Media 11
 

Eh? LOL:D


Got lumbered with it on tother pc as i have winamp on laptop & i can do what i want with the files not with crappa 11, err not for long now lol

Re: Windows Media 11
 

could have something to do with your settings you know because ive plugged in 4-5 different types out mp3 players and an ipod and never had any problems:confused:

Re: Windows Media 11
 

Nope Liam absolutely not done owt to settings at all & im not only one that has this prob so it cant just be me:D Maybe to do with the microsoft windows updates possibly????????????:rolleyes:

Re: Windows Media 11
 

dont know then. check the microsoft website and see if it shows a compatibility list for mp3 players for it. but i think if you install drivers that usually come with mp3 players then media player always detects them.

Re: Windows Media 11
 

Version 11 has built in and enabled DRM that is there to stop you ripping music from CD to MP3 players etc

DRM = Digital Rights Management. a form of copy protection.

Re: Windows Media 11
 

Even with legal downloads it still happens so presumably ver 11 seems to deem all as dodgey:rolleyes:

Re: Windows Media 11
 

AS I understand it, Legal downloads are only currently allowed to be played on 1 media device hence it stops you 'copying' it to a mp3 player as well. Hence Windows stopping you. This is the result of nobody listening to techies about 4 years ago when we were all up in arms about it and teh general public were apathetic.

Re: Windows Media 11
 

Ah didnt know that but strange its only applying to win media for now tho:rolleyes:

Re: Windows Media 11
 

Only 4 years ? I've been ignoring techies lots longer than that :rofl38:

Re: Windows Media 11
 

Aint tried it yet but have a few in backup inc winamp which I like for the skins and effects. :D

Re: Windows Media 11
 

Yeh ive really taken to winamp its quite good once u get hang of it & also better for playing local radio on - even that doesn't seem to work on win media 11 either despite saying otherwise.

Re: Windows Media 11

Re: Windows Media 11
