sony clie as mp3 player: Copy Protection.

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

I have a sony clie nx70v and i recently purchased a sandisk memory stick
for it. When I try to copy mp3's to the memory stick and play them on
the clie the internal mp3 player refuses to play them because the Memory
Stick doesn't use copy protection such as the MagicGate system,
presumably to stop pirated music being played. However the MP3s in
question where free promos downloaded from a band's website.

I tried using a different mp3 program (PocketTunes) but the clie
still refuses to play Mp3s. Does anyone know of a workaround without
using a Copy Protected Memory Stick?
