Playing protected files on a PPC

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

I have purchased some songes from Walmart.com. These files played on my PPC
fine using Mobile Media Player 9. After upgrading to 10, these files only
play if transferred to the PPC's main memory. It will not play when
transferred to the storage card. The error is "license....is corrupted".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Few PPC's have enough
main memory to store many music files. If this cannot be correct, it defeats
the purpose of transferring music to a PPC.

Thanks for the link. I will research that. To answer your question, I have
tried it using a card reader and via the PPC cradle. The results are the
same.
