I just put my Win XP computer online (wireless LAN is great) and the files transfer fine using WMP 8 and Musicmatch 10. The problem seems to be related to the system DRM on Win 98SE. Sence I upgraded from WMP 7.1 before I bought the player I don't know if the system was fine before the upgrade. Can someone plaese tell me what is wrong with Windows 98SE and why it won't let any programs transfer DRM protected files to a portable audio device? Information would be greatly apprecated. Also, thanks to Motorola's tech support for helping me with the problem even though it was not solved.
I can transfer Protected files I made with WMP 9 and 8 to my m25 digital audio player but not ones from online music stores. The Cnet review says the m25 supports proteced files from online music stores. Musicmatch Jukebox gives this error: "One or more files will not be downloaded to Removable Disk [D
because the file does not have the proper download to portable rights" and WMP 9 gives this error: "Windows Media Player cannot copy the file because the license associated with the file restricts it." Both MSN Music and Musicmatch support unlimited transfer to portable devices and the m25 supports DRM protection. This happens on a computer running Win 98SE. I have a Win XP computer but its not on-line so I have to use the Win 98SE computer to transfer the on-line music store files to my player. When I make DRM protected WMA files on my Win XP computer using WMP 8 and transfer them to the m25 the protected files and the license required to play them is sent to the player. However, on the Win 98SE computer using WMP 9, when I create protected WMA files and transfer them to player the files that end up on the player are non protected WMA files. I think this has something to do with why the on line music store files won't transfer to my digital audio player. What can I do about this weird problem? I know
the player is not on the supported players list on any sites but the filesshould still transfer to the player. I've herd about DRM files transfering but not playing but never not transfering. Can someone please tell me how to fix this or whats going on? What on-line music stores work with the m25
