Help with Windows Media Player/Pocket PC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

I have an IPAQ 1910 running wmp 8 and I use xp on my desktop with wmp
10. I just purchased and downloaded a few songs from Napster and
tried to sync them to my pocket pc. Here is a description of the
problem:

- If I try to sync to the storage card (256SD card) while it is in the
ppc using WMP on my desktop I get an "unkown error". If I put the SD
card in a card reader I can then sync it. I can also sync directly to
the PPC but I of course dont want to do that.

- Once I get the files onto the SD card or onto the PPC I try to play
the file that I purchased and I get the error message "The license for
this file cannot be found......" From some research it looks like
only WMP 9 for pocket pc handles license rights on purchased music.
Is that right? If so, how do I get WMP9 for the PPC? I have 8 on
there now.

Thanks in advance!!!!
