Trouble shooting
Q:
Why can some WMA format songs on the digital player not be
played?
A:
There are many different music formats for songs on the Internet
and many of them are in WMA format. Some of these WMA format
songs are subject to DRM (license) copyright protection, which may
cause unauthorized copies of some songs to become unplayable.
This system protects the original owner of the songs. Some websites
offer songs without license protection, and you may copy and play
them as you wish - just like songs in mp3 format. However, some
websites only offer songs in WMA format with license protection
(for example:
these songs you can only use your PC with a Windows Media Player
that has obtained the correct license protection. (Windows Media
Player is a free Microsoft product that allows you to play WMA
streaming media files. You can download it from many websites.)
You cannot copy and play these songs on another PC without
license protection. This prevents the spreading of unauthorized and
illegal copies of songs and protects the song's copyright owner. If
you have WMA format songs with the corresponding license
protection, you still cannot just copy the songs from your PC to the
digital player. You need to open Windows Media Player first. From
its menu select "document", "open" and open all the WMA songs
you want to copy (if all of them can be played, you can transfer
them to your player). Connect the digital player to your PC via a USB
cable, and the screen of the player will display "Communicating".
Next a portable disk (e.g. F:\) will be displayed.
