I have a PPC 2003 Ipaq 1910 and want to play music files purchased
from Napster. How do I do that?

Thanks for any help!

You can't
You have to burn the wma file to cd and re-rip it or something like that.
You loose quality doing that, but there isn't all that much you can do, its
the evils of DRM.
If you can get windows media player 10, you'll have some chance. But
windows media player 9 on the pocket pc isn't detected as a device in
windows media player on the computer

It's not downloadable, it is offered as part of the ROM. You can get
it by buying a Dell X50, or upgrading the ROM on the Dell Axim X30.

Use Media 10 on your desktop to sync the songs to your ipaq. Worked with my
Axim X30 with Media player 9 and 10 on the desktop.
