Creative X-Fi2 iPlayer Issue

ok...
i've asked this other places.. but...

I have a Creative Zen and a Creative Zen X-Fi2...
I cant get the X-Fi2 to play iPlayer programs
the same file downloaded from iplayer works on the Zen, but not the X-Fi2...
any suggestions?

This is the BBC iPlayer i'm talking about btw...
seems strange that the X-Fi is compatible, but the X-Fi2 is not

It could be because the zen x-fi2 is a mass storage class device which makes it unable to playback subscription content like those for the iPlayer?

From Creative...

"Please be informed that Creative does not claim support for BBC iPlayer.

For Audio Playback Formats: Zen X-Fi2 supports MP3, WMA (DRM9), WAV
(IMA-ADPCM) Audible4, AAC4, FLAC4. So you can see that it will not support DRM10."

How is it that the X-Fi is supported and the X-Fi2 isn't??
This seems like a large stride in reverse for what should be their latest player.
