I just bought a new Sony Walkman hdd player it lets you play WMA files but wont let me play the NPG trax due to licencing (I have the licences). Does anyone know a way around this?

I had the same problem with my Creative Zen Touch in the fall of last year. But NPGMC updated the files (at some point) and when I re-downloaded my purchased tracks two months ago they did transfer fine to the player.

So if you purchased the tracks long ago you might wanna try to re-download the tracks.

You can always just burn your wma files to CD using Windows Media Player (assuming you're on a PC and not a Macintosh), then create new unprotected MP3 or WMA files from the CD and use those files for your media player.

Thanks guys. I tried making a cd and uploading it like you said and that works fine now
