Are you trying to sync to a storage card through a card reader or is the card in your Axim when you are trying? I found that I could only sync with the card in the Axim and not with a card reader/writer.
Also, try using WMP10 on your PC to find the files you download from YMU and sync with that (again, with the card in your device).
This is weird. I noticed that when I started the transfer from YME to the X30, my connection in ActiveSync died. I did a soft reset on the X30 and now it is working. Very cool!
well i have used the service for 5 days now. I have a dell axim x50v. 1gb sd card. So far i am only interested in latin / world music. There are whopping amounts of choices. I loaded 100 songs at 192kbs encoding and it sounds very very good. I have to say its a steal and it actually got me off of bit-torrent and e-donkey. I could not get it to work on the dell axim x30 my daughter owns. Downloads are fast but transfer to sd card is very slow. It took 1 hour to transfer 20 songs. I wonder if i use the sd card reader will increase speed? Anyway, this is a very good deal for this price. When i get my hitachi 6gig cf card i will try to load over 1500 songs. I bought one of those fm transmitters and it pumps out sound with alot of bass. I have not tried burning a cd yet as it would be 79 cents per song. Try it you will like it. I wish wmp 10 had an equilizer.
Without pointing the fingre at anyone on this thread, it's funny how the people that complain the strongest about DRM are the people that support music piracy or just don't understand how DRM works.

I don't have trouble downloading iTunes onto CD. In fact there is a CD burner included. What I have trouble with is that you can't swap music using your system if it wasn't recorded on your PC in the first place. Why? DRM is stupid and frustrating way to control recorded medium, and my orignal source may be my spoken words, or me practicing on my guitar. It doesn't matter: I still can't 'Check In' to burn it onto CD.
This is just a misunderstanding of DRM and music ownership. Of course you can't swap DRMd music over the net. That's the idea. And if you are recording your own media and applying your own DRM to it then that's your decision. There is absolutely NO reason why your own recordings would have DRM unless you put them there.
Is DRM perfect? No way. Far from it. But there is so much misunderstanding out there about DRM that it's not funny.

I've completed my 7-day trial :approve: And Yahoo! has now collected my first monthly fee
I have a Dell Desktop with Windows XP and an X30 with WMP 10 (it came that way from Dell) and have had no problems at all with the subscription service so far.
I haven't tried to synchronize anything. I've added songs to my storage card one at a time. From the "Now Playing" screen, with my PDA plugged in, an icon appears in the Yahoo! Music Engine that allows me to move the song - on a DRM subscription basis - to my storage card.
Whew... that was a close one. I was trying to sync music to my X30H, and kept getting unsupported device errors on everything. It's been about a week since I sync'd anything so I was thinking maybe they fixed "a bug" that allowed use for the X30 since it technically isn't a supported device (only X50 is, right?). Well a soft-reset fixed whatever problem it was having.
On a side note, one thing I found out is that if you move the My Music downloads from one folder to another (I ran out of room on my C drive, so I moved it all to D), it breaks the license and is not playable.
Also, I did a hard reset, tried to play the WMA's from my SD card and nope... wouldn't play there either.
So basically... be careful, because this DRM'd crap breaks if you blow on it wrong. Also, if you are having sync problem, try a soft reset.
I have a 45 minute commute every day, so Yahoo! Unlimited is a godsend. The recommendation engine is really great too. I've discovered more new artists in the last 3 weeks with Yahoo than I did in 6 months with Napster.

I read into DRM before I started purchasing music and now trying Napster to go for a month that came with my dell dj 30gig. Alot of people complain but I think it is god send for the music idustry and if it had come out a few years earlier we might not have this culture of piracy now. I probally won't continue with Napster as I have over 29gigs of my own music and $14Can is a bit steep. (Yahoo is not available in Canada). I might reconsider once I get a unit for my stereo that will play the music over wi-fi or hard wire my pc to the stereo and consider it like cable subscription.
If you don't like it don't use it. There are groups trying to hack drm and if they succeed it is our loss since it will disappear or the encoding will get even more complex and harder to use. I back up my license for purchase music most sites alow redownload so hopefully it will be mine forever.
