This article describes the steps needed to help you listen to a licensed music file. One of the Pocket PC's best features is the ability to play high fidelity music using Windows Media Player. You can find many MP3 and WMA music files available for free on the Web, but you may also find that much of the music you want to download is licensed music that requires payment. Moving large WMA files can be a slow process. Windows Media Player on your desktop or notebook PC performs the actual DRM process.
Music files can be relatively large.
We recommend that you purchase and use a CompactFlash memory card to store your WMA music files. The process starts when you visit a merchant's Web site and purchase the license to play music locked in a WMA file. The purchase procedure differs, of course, from merchant to merchant. At some point in the process, you will download a locked, licensed WMA file to your desktop or notebook PC's hard drive. Your next step is to open the file with Windows Media Player.
