About licenses and protected files
Some content such as digital media files downloaded from the Internet, CD
tracks, and videos are protected against illegal distribution or sharing. They have
licenses which are created and managed by digital rights management (DRM). You
may not be able to play files that have been copied to the device. Files that have
licenses associated with them are called “protected files”. If you want to copy a
protected file from your PC to the device, do not drag the file from a folder on the
PC to a folder on the device, but synchronize the file to the device with a desktop
player. This can let the license be copied along with the protected file. To get more
information about synchronizing files, refer to desktop Player Help.
[Note]
•
Check the file properties by tapping Menu > Properties to view the protection status.
Copy media files to your device
To synchronize digital media files to your device, use the latest version of the
desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or later). You need to synchronize the
files to a storage card inserted into the device. Do not synchronize to a storage
card that is inserted into a storage card reader. Also, do not synchronize to the
internal storage location (RAM) in your device.
How to synchronize content to the device automatically
1. Turn the power off on the device. Insert a 32-MB or larger storage card into the
device, and turn the power back on.
