I purchased a song over MusicMatch. Downloaded fine and
can play the WMA format with WMP on my PC, but when I copy
the file to my CF card (both thru my reader and thru
MusicMatch, it gives the following error:
"Windows Media Player Cannot play this file"
iPAQ 2215 device
Sandisk CF Card Reader
Sandisk CF Card (tried a 64,32, and 256 meg card)
When I play the song in WMP on my PC and transfer it
through that, same thing....help.

I have the same problem with my 2215. The songs play fine if transferred to
the main memory of the device. They won't work from the SD card. I've talked
to HP and after 3 hrs on chat support I gave up and went to bed. Nobody had
any good ideas. It's not just MusicMatch. It's BuyMusic.com and Wal-Mart.com
also. Wal-mart's tech support didn't know the difference between and iPAQ
and iPod. They said they don't support Apple.

Hey, if you are using a card reader, it won't work:
In order to play LEGAL WMA downloads from Napster and MusicMatch from a CF/SD card:
1. Download Song
2. Place card in PocketPC and connect
2. Open song in Windows Media Player (WMP)
3. Choose copy to Devices
4. Make sure you choose the CF card with the PocketPC icon
5. Copy it over.
So far I can not get it to work with the card reader, only via the Pocket PC direct copy. Other songs work either way. Hope this helps!

It won't work when I do the exact same thing on my 2215. I get a license
error. I've bought music from MusicMatch, BuyMusic.com and Wal-Mart.com
with the same problem.

I have the same problem. Looks like everyone on this e-
mail site has the same problem. Did you ever get an
answer from anyone?
