Playing DRM Music on Axim...I am having troubles to do that...

myrcgarage · 10-06-06, 05:40 PM

I have questions about playing DRM music on my x51v(I already searched on this forum):

1. I could only play DRM music using WMP and not TCPMP. Is that true? If not, what am I doing wrong.
2. I can only play DRM music that was transfered to main memory and not SD or CF. I searched on this forum and some people said that they had to reformat their SD/CF cards before they could play them. I wonder what other solutions there are.

Again, thanks for your help!

What kind of DRM is it? Can't be very good DRM if it lets you copy it to the Axim in the first place.

I got them thru MusicMatch...

Yes, DRM'd music can only be played by Windows Media Player. By the way, I've heard that MusicMatch does not support the Axim PDA's.

For an alternative, check out Yahoo! Music Unlimited. It supports both the Axim X50 and X51 series and music can be saved to a storage card. Many people on Aximsite, including myself, have gotten PlaysForSure DRM'd music from there to work fine. Search the forums for "yahoo music unlimited" for info and reviews. Good luck!
