Hi all:

Since I have MC 9.1 (latest update) I wanted to utilize it to manage my Nomad Zen Xtra (30gb). I downloaded the 9.0.31 plugin from the MC web site and it seems to communicate with the zen just fine (I'm currently using RedChair software for the zen) except in one area: uploading files to the zen. The plugin "sees" the zen, connects to it, and it even allowed me to delete all tracks from it - over 3,000. However, whenever I try to upload to it, the copy phase hangs with zero % done and I must cancel out of the upload to regain control.

I'm encoding to the zen with setting of WMA at CBR of 96 from WMA files at VBR 128. I know everything on my system is fine as I can use RedChair with no problems what-so-ever.

Any clues as to what may be happening? I restarted both MC and the PC after installing the plug-in.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks - dennis

Hi again, removed the ..31 plugin because I noticed that a v...32 version was just loaded out there on the plugin page. V..32 fixed the hang but now that is works I see another problem - not sure of its status as a bug or 'as designed'.

Once the plugin starts copying the encoded files to the zen, (10 at a time) the copy dialog STOPS on an OK dialog - only after I ok it, does the plugin continue with the remaining enqueued files - and then every ten files it stops on that OK. Usually (again with RedChair) I queue up several hundred files for xfer and then go do something until the xfer is done, With the mc plugin, I have to be around to OK that dialog.

ANy way around this behavior? I don't see any option for this or am I blind?

Thanks, dennis
