WMP error with MP3

I loaded my SD card with a bunch of MP3's but I can not play them. I get an error saying that the file format is not valid or the file is corrupt. I can play these files on my PC or MP3 player with no problems.

When you use file explorer on your Axim 30 to look at the MP3's what kind of icon do you see?

It could be a Digital Rights Management Issue if you didn't ripp them yourself or perhaps it's a folder Issue. Are your MP3 in a folder or 1 folder down within a folder called My Documents?

Give me a second while I create those folders. It's not a folder issue as I first thought. I created a folder "Music" outside of My Documents on my SD card, Loaded an Album in there, Had WMP10 for Pocket PC update the library and the tracks were found and played fine. I'm out of ideas.

Problem solved not without pain. I had my ROM updated to A05 and the default skin for WMP didn't work anymore. Because of this I couldn't update the library.
Hard reset, install all programs and now it works.

Thanks
