Description:-Enables a computer to recognize and adapt to hardware changes with little or no user input. With Plug and Play, a user can add or remove devices, without any intricate knowledge of computer hardware, and without being forced to manually configure hardware or the operating system. For example, a user can plug in a USB keyboard and Plug and Play will detect the new device, find a driver for it and install it. Or, a user can dock a portable computer and use the docking stations Ethernet card to connect to the network without changing the configuration. Later, the user can undock that same computer and use a modem to connect to the network-again without making any manual configuration changes.

Description:-Retrieves the serial number of a portable music player connected to the computer.
The service allows WMDM (Windows Media Device Manager) to retrieve the serial number off of portable music devices so media content can be copied securely to the device. Without the serial number, there is no way to tie the content to the device, and therefore protected content may not be allowed to transfer to the device.
To uniquely identify portable media, many storage media manufacturers have implemented a unique serial number stored on a nonvolatile area of the storage. For example, the CFA CompactFlash specification revision 1.3 requires CompactFlash cards to have a unique serial number. Iomega Zip, Jaz, and Clik! disks also have unique serial numbers on them. Recent production of SmartMedia cards also have built in unique IDs. Emerging new portable media, such as MultiMedia Card (MMC), Secure Digital cards (SD) and SONY MemoryStick, are all built with unique IDs by design.
For a portable media reader or adapter to be Windows Media compliant, it must allow an application to retrieve media serial numbers.
*On Windows 2000, this service was called WMDM PMSP Service.
If this service is stopped or disabled, , protected content might not be allowed to transfer to the device andthe serial number might not be retrieved from portable media devices.
