Just bought an mp3 player..problem.

[MR_SIDO]

Here is the story:

Just bought myself a SONY Network walkman, I have .wma files on my computer but i cannot transfer them to this device because it says that they are protected! where do i get music from for this thing? call me dumb but i just cannot work out where i can download files that i can transfer, can anyone help me?

The player came with some software called SonicStage, this is what i am using to try and transfer these files over.

maybe try downloading just mp3's from now on. i use soulseek and most of those are mp3's and you can get just baout any song you want from it. i know i have trouble with wma's sometimes

hope this helps

With your windows media player, you need to find the protection option and turn it off!!! Any music ripped from CD with protection on will not burn/copy etc.

Turn it off and re encode your cds and should be OK. Assuming the device will take WMA

ok, thanks for the info, but the instructions say that the player will play wma's and these files i have already burnt onto a cd with no problem at all, that is why i do not understand.

Yeah, WMA's have copy protection to stop them being transfered from the computer. Pretty stupid but thats Microsoft. On your computer reincode it to MP3. I use Wavepad for most of my sound converting stuff and haven't had any dramas.
