Mobility Site - View Single Post - Problems playing MP3 files with WMP10 on Win Mobile 2003

Hi all

I have several MP3 files which play fine on my desktop PC. I have copied them to my pocket PC in two ways:
1) Copying to a 2 gig SD card then inserting it into the PPC
2) Copying and converting using Activesync.

I have tried copying them to "my Music"

In all cases the files appear where I expect them to - but when i attempt to open - WMP10 starts and I get the message:

Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play.

I have checked the Microsoft site - and it tells me that WMP10 for PPC should play MP3 files. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how I can play these MP3 files on my PPC?

My WMP10 reports Build: 14235

I don't know whether it is relevant - but I have installed Audible player on my PPC.

Thanks

Richard.
