I ripped several cds to windows media player not realizing that it defaulted as wma protected. I synced with windows media player to my sd card 2 gb worth of music. I went to play them on my axim x51v. The ones that show up as protected will not play.

To my discovery, I could sync an entire wma protected album to my pda and it worked AWESOME. Since I have limited space for music, I thought that I would then just move it over to my sd card either via activesync or through the pda. When I played it from the new location, the sd card, it gave a error corrupt or license didnt transfer message.

I have gone to mobile windows media player faq and found that mobile doesnt like it protected unless the license copies. I dont understand what I did wrong. The license copied fine straight to the pda but not to the sd card through memory card reader, active sync, or tranferring via pda file explorer.

The other alternative was to try and re ripp all of the cd's back to windows media player in the mp3 format.

Before I spend more hours on this, can anyone offer any suggestions or advice. What I found on google was several hits but they basically told me to record cds and then re ripp them. I didnt want to waste all of my cds nor spend all of the time doing such if there were other alternatives.

Thank you so much for your advice!
