Hello,

The specs....

X5 300MHZ 32MB A03
PocketPC 2002
512 SD
ActiveSync 4.1

Dell Inspiron 8600 512 MB RAM
WIMP 10, latest build

I have downloaded an audio book from simplyaudiobooks.com......

I double click the WMD file, it decompresses into WIMP. WIMP then fills my playlist and starts playing the book. If I try to sync any or all of the WMA file, the sync window will report that is WIMP has encountered an unknown error for each and every file. I have spoken at length with simplyaudiobooks, they set me up with a new download with a new license, that didn't help. I don't believe that it is a licensing problem.

I can sync other mp3/wma files with no problems whatsover. I can also copy files through window explorer. If I try to copy the book files through windows explorer, they copy just fine, but will not play due to license issues. I suspect because I did not sync through WIMP.

Might it help if I upgrade my PPC OS to WM2003 ? I see that I can download it from Ebay for $2.50........

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Russ

Hello Again,

I forgot to mention that I can burn CD's on my laptop from the protected audio book, then rip them back in, and copy those files to my X5. But that is quite a bit of work to do for 15 CD's worth of audio, I also have to rename files in the process, ect... I might as well take the CD's to the car and listen to them, instead of using a FM transmitter with the X5. Lugging around all of the CD's is what I am trying to avoid....
