A10 I have problem downloading .WMA files to my RUSH player from my PC.
The problem could be due to one of the following reasons:
•
The file name of your WMA file may comprise of non-English or special character. Such
characters are not supported by RUSH. Please rename your file and try again.
•
When you were ripping songs from your music CDs to WMA with MUSICMATCH, the security
option in the Digital Rights Management setting may have not been set to allow downloading
to Portable Device. On MUSICMATCH Jukebox go to Options
Security and select the Option check box to allow downloading to Portable Device. Try
ripping the song again and download to RUSH.
•
If you are using MUSICMATCH version 7.2 or 7.5 to open your WMA files. The software may
prompt you to download Windows Media Player Plug-in to support playback of WMA files.
Once the plug-in is downloaded, you may open WMA files in My Library and can playback in
Playlist. However when you try to click Send to Device
Storage, the download window will show an error message Unsupported file format, stating
there is no removal icon. Instead, please check your RUSH shows
