About DRM, licences, and protected files
Some digital media files, such as songs downloaded from
online stores, are encrypted to prevent the files from being
unlawfully distributed or shared. Content providers use a
technology called Digital Rights Management (DRM), to
encrypt the files. During the encryption process, the
content provider creates a licence which specifies how and
when the file can be used.
For example, a content provider could create a licence that
allows you to play a certain file on your computer, but not
on your device. Or, a licence that allows you to play a
certain file on your device, but only for a month, or perhaps
only a certain number of times. Files that have licences
associated with them are called protected files.
Copying media files using ActiveSync
1. Connect your device to a computer and start
synchronisation by referring to page 46.
2. Open the file directory on the device by clicking
Explore
from the Microsoft ActiveSync window.
3. Drag the media files you want to copy and drop them
into a folder.
Windows Media Player automatically retrieves the media
files from the folder where the files are copied and you
can search them from the library screen. If the media
files do not appear in the library, update the library by
pressing the
Menu
soft key and selecting
