About licenses and protected files
Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from the Internet,
CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses that protect them from
being unlawfully distributed or shared. Licenses are created and managed
by using digital rights management (DRM), which is the technology for
securing content and managing its access rights. Some licenses may
prevent you from playing files that have been copied to your phone. Files
that have licenses associated with them are called “protected files.”
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your phone, use the
desktop Player to synchronize the file to your phone (instead of dragging
the file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your phone, for example).
This will ensure that the license is copied along with the protected file. For
more information about synchronizing files to your phone and other mobile
devices, see the desktop Player Help.
Note
You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file properties
(Menu > Properties).
