6.1 WM Napster Music Problem

[niko5]

I am running V15 of the WM 6.1 Ricky Rom.

Iv used some other versions with the same problem....

The phone syncs with my Napster-To-Go service and lets me add songs all I want but when I go to play on the phone it wont play just says "Cannot play any items in the playlist". "An unknown error 0X800700C1 has occurred"

Any help or ideas would be helpfull.

I can confirm this...I have this issue as well. It worked fine using the last HTC 6.0 rom.

Another thing I noticed is once I do try to play the music and get the errors the whole phone basicaly crashes. If I push the task manager shortcut it says not a valid Ce Application same for the start button and the power button doesnt respond so i have to remove the battery.

I don't have that problem. You may need to reflash the rom to fix that.

is napster to go music DRM free??.. as i know, the only firmwares letting you play drm'ed music are the htc's ones.

What is DRM?

What is DRM?

drm is a kind of protection that allows M$, napster, yahoo and other online music stores to limit the usage of digital media legally acquired.

to play drm-protected content your digital player (in this case your s620) must be compatible with PLAYS FOR SURE standard. as i know, the s620 is not recognized as a "plays for sure" device under windows media player, so you might not be able to play protected content on it (i've used zune marketplace to buy drm'd music and i cannot even copy it to my phone)

Plays for Sure is only one type of DRM. The iTunes store uses a different type that is incompatible with Plays for Sure, and the Zune marketplace uses yet another DRM. That's the jist of it though.

That sux. It did work with the T-Mobile official rom and the latest HTC WM6 rom but maybe this one isent certified or whatever...

Wonder if theres any digital rights file or something I can copy over to make it work... I pay for the music from napster and napster regonizes my phone just seems like it should work.

Does anyone know of a fix for this yet?

I just got napster as a gift and if this works I'll keep it.

OR is there a way to remove DRM from my napster tracks and make them regular MP3's?

to remove the DRM from the tracks you legally own, you can use 3rd party software like tunebite... search for it in torrent sites and if you like it, buy it (i don't support software piracy)
