Copying Files to Your Pocket PC Phone
Use the desktop version of Windows Media Player 10 to synchronize digital media files to your Pocket PC
Phone (instead of dragging a file from a folder on your desktop computer to a folder on your Pocket PC
Phone, for example). Using the desktop Player ensures that licenses are copied with protected files.
For more information on copying files to your Pocket PC Phone, see the Windows Media Player Help on
the desktop computer.
Licenses and Protected Files
Protected files are digital media files that are secured with a license to prevent unauthorized distribution or

The terms of the license are specified by the person or company that provided the file. Most people obtain
protected files from online stores, such as MSN Music and Napster.

not use Windows Explorer to drag and drop files from your computer to your Pocket PC Phone.

play the file, it must be decompressed by using the same codec that compressed the file.
Windows Media Player for Pocket PC Phone can play files that have been compressed by using any of the
following audio and video codecs. You can determine which codecs a file uses by checking its file proper
