I've unlocked my WT19a's bootloader using official Sony method.
Every topic says that it removes DRM keys and the functionality of some apps, like TrackID.
However, TrackID downloaded from Play Store works normally here.
Is it usual? Shouldn't TrackID stop working after the bootloader has been unlocked?
Original TrackID does stop working.
Downloaded from Market continues working.
Also, Like button in Walkman stops working.

Music files, which include some kind of protection inside the files and require the DRM keys to be allowed to play.
Doesn't it sounds funny? Keeping DRM helps piracy hahahahaha!!!

With DRM you can reproduce copyrighted (protected) music, and without you can't!

That kind of music files have strict protection. Will post more info when I get to my laptop.
EDIT:
Many online music stores employ DRM to restrict usage of music purchased and downloaded online.
Prior to 2009, Apple's iTunes Store utilized the FairPlay DRM system for music. Apple did not license its DRM to other companies, so only Apple devices could play iTunes music.[5] In May 2007, EMI tracks became available in iTunes Plus format at a higher price point. These tracks were higher quality (256 kbps) and DRM free. In October 2007, the cost of iTunes Plus tracks was lowered to US$0.99.[21] In April 2009, all iTunes music became available completely DRM free. (Videos sold and rented through iTunes, as well as iOS Apps, however, were to continue using Apple's FairPlay DRM.)
Napster music store offers a subscription-based approach to DRM alongside permanent purchases. Users of the subscription service can download and stream an unlimited amount of music transcoded to Windows Media Audio (WMA) while subscribed to the service. But when the subscription period lapses, all of the downloaded music is unplayable until the user renews his or her subscription. Napster also charges users who wish to use the music on their portable device an additional $5 per month. In addition, Napster gives users the option of paying an additional $0.99 per track to burn it to CD or for the song to never expire. Music bought through Napster can be played on players carrying the Microsoft PlaysForSure logo (which, notably, do not include iPods or even Microsoft's own Zune). As of June 2009, Napster is offering DRM free MP3 music, which can be played on iPhones and iPods.
Wal-Mart Music Downloads, another online music download store, charges $0.94 per track for all non-sale downloads. All Wal-Mart, Music Downloads are able to be played on any Windows PlaysForSure marked product. The music does play on the SanDisk's Sansa mp3 player, for example, but must be copied to the player's internal memory. It cannot be played through the player's microSD card slot, which is a problem that many users of the mp3 player experience.
Sony operated an online music download service called "Connect" which used Sony's proprietary OpenMG DRM technology. Music downloaded from this store (usually via Sony's SonicStage software) was only playable on computers running Microsoft Windows and Sony hardware (including the PSP and some Sony Ericsson phones).
Kazaa is one of a few services offering a subscription-based pricing model. However, music downloads from the Kazaa website are DRM-protected, and can only be played on computers or portable devices running Windows Media Player, and only as long as the customer remains subscribed to Kazaa.

With DRM keys you can only play DRM protected files that you bought yourself.
DRM files have a mechanism that only allow them to be played in specific/authorized devices.
So, with locked bootloader (and proper DRM keys), you won't be able to play DRM protected files bought from another people.
Unlocking bootloader means that you loose DRM keys.
Loosing DRM keys means that you can't reproduce DRM protected music files that you bought from stores like Amazon, iTunes etc.
Sony thinks that a custom ROM/kernel would allow the user to reproduce DRM files on a non-authorized Android phone.
Sony sells musics, so... You've got the point.
Now I've got enough info. Thank you both!

been searching the forum and came across cases where some owners of PPCs have gotten WMP to transfers DRM music downloaded from Rhapsody on to their PPCs.
I subscribe to RTG and tried to transfer downloaded DRM protected music to my mogul's SD but had no luck. WMP can't sync "Windows Media Player cannot sync the file because the device needs to be updated"
The WMDRM, MSMETADATA, and PLAYLIST folders were created so i know the SD was prepared for DRM music but i can seem to get it to work on the mogul.
maybe it's not compatible how did those other people get it to work??
I will tell you from my own personal experience, DRM content does work on the Mogul. I work for Napster's call center and I am able to get my music from Napster to my Mogul, very easily! Napster recognizes it, and the card, then all I have to do is transfer to the storage card and I'm done. Don't even have to use Windows Media Player.
Just FYI, you might want to check it out. 7-day trial available during registration. Make absolutely sure you get Napster To Go.
EDIT: Please remember, the phone is not officially supported by Napster. If you can't get it to work, there is nothing that anyone in the call center can do, so please do not call looking for support.

now i'm jealous. who's rom/version are you using? did you need to prep the device or SD before you could transfer the music?
anyone done this with rhapsody?
I've been using rhapsody to go for some time. Works very well with a bluetooth enabled car stereo.
In rhapsody, you should have two devices listed:
One for your phone itself
One for the memory card
You need to put at least one song on the phone itself so that it licenses the phone to accept the drm. Since I like to use songs for ringtones, dropping the selected song to the phone will usually do the trick. After that, I use the memory card for the main storage of music.
Hope this helps
Haha...napster....the original CEO of napster, shawn fanning, was my roommate in college at Northeastern. I remember him sitting in our room for hours and hours developing the original napster...i miss the original napster lol.
Napster got its name from his nappy hair, which is why he always wore a hat.

What rom are you using?
ME: WinXP SP2, WMP11, Lastest Rhapsody....DCD 3.0.1
is WMDRM supported in DCD's 3.0.1?
My computer is "Authorized" already
I plugin my mogul
I start Rhapsody. It's finds and scans the PDA and Storage Card.
There is a WMA file on the device.
The WMDRM files and folders are created on the PDA and Storage Card
In Rhapsody, I try to drag a song from my library to the Storage card and get
"You cannot transfer this subscrition content because this device is not a subscrition device"...blah blah blah...pay. I already pay $15/mo
There's no option to "Authorize" my mogul...What exactly did you do to get it to work? what rom are you using?
ROM's really have nothing to do with it. It just recognizes it as a Windows Mobile device, and the rest goes from there. You can use any ROM with any configuration.
Give it a shot, let me know your username and I'll make sure everything goes smoothly on the back-end.
Rhapsody has worked OK (complaints below) for me on the three different devices I've tried (1 Mogul, 2 Touch's).
The particular ROM you are running can make a difference, as some custom ROMs leave out Lockstream DRM.
In my experience Rhapsody's online player is great. The software that you have to run to download music on the other hand has given me nothing but headaches. In my experience it is buggy, bloated, unresponsive crap. I've spent hours troubleshooting issues (some might be related to Vista, but come on, it's been out for a long time now), uninstalling/reinstalling Lockstream components, etc. And for some reason it never recognizes my storage cards the next time I try to transfer music. I have to deauthorize the card in my account settings, and then reathorize it in order to transfer music. There are just way to many issues for it to be a useful service for most people. I'll probably give it another month, but I will likely be looking into trying Napster and some others if their selection is comparable to Rhapsody.
I use rhapsody on my Mogul/XV6800 with no issues. I just plugged it in, authorized it, and started adding music.

Anyway i got Rhapsody to work with my mogul.
Rhapsody + HTC Audio Manager + 8GB SDHC + Dopod remote control + Sony Fontopias + SRS WOW HD = pretty decent portable music player
but this thing has some serious issues with RAM...64MB SUX!!!
can't multitask with the Audio Manager running..even WMP has problems with running out of RAM
There are legitimate reasons to want to strip the DRM from protected Rhapsody tracks. The lack of a universal DRM system means that iPods, etc. can't play the Rhapsody tracks that you legally have the license to use. Granted, stripping the DRM is not legal, but morally I don't have a problem with it in this case. If you were to keep using the files after canceling your subscription that would be another story of course.
All that said, I've been using a program called MuvAudio to "strip" the DRM from my Rhapsody tracks. It actually doesn't strip anything, but instead runs the file through your sound card and digitally records the output into a new (and not copy-protected) MP3. The benefit of this system is that anything you can play on your PC can be converted into an unprotected MP3/WMA/etc. All the tag data (artist, album, year, etc) is preserved, and it will even search for and attach album art. I was a little worried there would be some quality loss, but it turns out that is not an issue. The quality of the MP3 output is excellent. The program can also be set to monitor your Rhapsody download folder so that new downloads are automatically converted. The best part is that you can get the program for free with TrialPay. Basically, you sign up for a trial of some other, unrelated service, and you get a free license for MuvAudio. You can then cancel your trial of the other service without ever paying a dime. Pretty cool. And now my wife can load up her iPod with Rhapsody tracks.
Now if Rhapsody would only offer a Pocket PC client so that I could bypass my PC all together...

Analog rips aren’t really what I want, I may sound like a stickler for quality but I can notice the difference, especially with high quality headphones or rips using low quality sound cards

Hello everybody!
So with all the hype of ICS source being released, there are a few things I think Google is overlooking BIG TIME!
Forgive me if you don't agree or don't care for that matter.
First. I am really digging the new Google Music app as well as the addition of the music store being added to the market. But my question to Google would be, why use your music store vs. ITunes on my CPU? There is no music management system for Google, which in my opinion is a huge short fall. I understand that Google is really hitting the cloud hard, but what if I don't want my new purchases or any music in the cloud? Manually dragging and dropping music files is a pain in the @ss. I guess my frustrations revolve mostly around their web based music player than the music app. Drop the web based music player and release an application. Make it easy for android users to flawlessly sync their phone with their CPU and CPU with the cloud. Make it easy to sync my music and playlists.
And dude what's up with your LAME music widget? Seriously? You make this beautiful UI, built from the ground up and you dont even have the decency to revamp your music widget... Com'on man!
Second. Again this is attention to detail, why did you not update the ui in the clock app? It doesn't match the ICS ui at all. It didn't even match with GB for that matter.
Don't get me wrong, I love android and Google but there are just a few things (IMHO) that need to really be tended to.
I guess that's all for now.
Good day.
I agree. Thats why I still use iTunes. Best music manager to me.
Temari x Shikamaru
Since we're on the google music kick... anyone notice you can't make individual songs available offline in the app? You can only do artists or albums (though, I really only tried from the artist view)...
And yes, they do need to redo the widget. I'm not so interested in a standalone music player for pc, though I do see the need for better pc-android syncing.
If you purchase the song, and you play it or make it available offline, you can listen to the local cached version.
No drag and drop, it's just there.

I get that, and it does work well. It's the music that is not synced to the cloud has to be manually drag/drooped to the phone. There needs to be a better music management system.

Completely off-topic, but more people should know this:
CPU ≠ Computer.
The CPU is an extremely small part of a computer, it stands for Central Processing Unit, and is the brain of a computer, but again, is NOT the computer itself.

Edit:
By the way, I completely agree with this entire post, btw. Closest I've come to an iTunes-like experience has been DoubleTwist, and has worked well for me. Give it a shot, if you like iTunes then this is the Android equivalent.
This is Google 101 my friend..Make a product that works and pretty it up at a later date..Its been like this for years..They worry about the aesthetics later on..They are just a bunch of engineers with no eye for ease of use or appealing UI.
I'm sure they will throw a coat of paint on it in the future.

Thanks for the clarification
I have used numerous apps, including double twist. While double twist has its perks, there needs to be a native android music management system. The problem with using other music apps is that you can't utilize there cloud. And with that it's annoying having to use two separate apps to accomplish what should be done with one. It seems redundant having to download an alternative app.
Also when you purchase music from the market its automatically stored "in the cloud". But when you select to download it to your phone from the music app, where does it save it to? MIUI music can't find any of my purchased music, nor can I using a file explorer. TIA.

Well Linux has a stand alone google music app. And everything is accessible from the browser in any OS. So I somewhat agree. I really don't know what the problem is but uploading music from a computer to google music is painfully slow. I 100% agree about the clock app and the music widget though.

If you could just download the songs to your SD card and use any music player or release an api to allow apps like HTC music to use your Google music account. I hate having another music app because of this.

Some it may be Google's agreements with the big record labels. I mean they make it virtually impossible to pull music you've downloaded from the store to a pc. But yes google needs to understand that although in the coming years the 'cloud' and tablets may be peoples only form of computing but until then and if they want to be successful now they need to make stand alone applications that is as robust as iTunes is for computers.

Yup can't find an app for it and store doesn't sell songs.
Depending on your country you can use Google Play Store to purchase music, I can't because it's not set up for Australia yet.
You can also use MusicHub which is Samsung software.
Otherwise you can various websites such as:
7digital.com - they have various international sites, I use their UK site because they don't have an Australian site to use.
If you're are in Australia and want to buy it from an Aus there's:
bigpondmusic.com
bandit.fm
Optus have one as well which can be found with a quick google.
Personally I prefer to buy CDs and rip them myself using freeware called Exact Audio Copy, but that's because I like having my big bookshelf filled with music
Edit: I tend to stay away from bigpondmusic.com and bandit.fm unless I'm looking for Aus music which isn't available on 7digital, because bigpond & bandit are more expensive.

CD ripping in Australia hasn't made any waves, I think they're only interested in people downloading illegally or ripping and distributing, neither of which I'm interested in.
I recommend shopping around on the different websites for the best price. Maybe others can suggest more sites to purchase from.
It might not be as convenient as iTunes, but generally they have 320kbps mp3s and that's much better quality than some of the stuff I've heard purchased from iTunes.
Are you downloading direct to your phone?
I think it's a better idea to download to your PC/Mac and then transfer them to your phone.

CD Ripper
I have develop an android APP "CD Ripper" to rip CD to WAV or MP3 , you can try it on GOOGLE PLAY :
What's the CD Ripper
CD Ripper is the first FREE CD ripping APP of the Android.
It can rip CD tracks to lossless or compressed music files.
Why to use CD Ripper
- We have many CD discs with favorite musics
- Before , We can play them with Discman or Microsystem
- Now , We want to play those musics in mobiles
- Use the CD Ripper to rip CD tracks to WAV or MP3 files
How to use CD Ripper

Meh,
The only page I've come across that needed flash was the one for a local restaurant. The majority of the sites have minimized or move from flash, or aren't intended for mobile devices.
That said, I'm sorry you can't create your new candy concoctions or tend your farms from your phone, thought there are plenty of other games that you can play that run natively on the phone.

perhaps you don't read BBC or stream video from tv sites. Thanks for cotton candy speech.
Adobe as of the year before last pulled out of the mobile market. That means flash is not even available on Android devices now unless you get a third party app that may still be floating around. All websites are supposed to be converting to HTML5 if they want mobile viewer traffic. If they have not converted then they are only interested in PC traffic and you should boycott the site to show them the traffic they are missing. Rather than make your work, you should make the sites do what they are supposed to do.
My android phone (Asus PadFone 2) is capable of showing live streams on Twitch.tv with the default browser, but I have no idea how. If I try to play a video from the day before on the website, it says I need flash player, so it only works if the channel is live. On my Lumia 920 however if I go to Twitch.tv, it says I need flash player, even if the channel is live... So how is it my PadFone can show live streams if its still flash-based, yet I get an error saying I need flash if I try to play videos from the day before?
I tried an unofficial Twitch TV app. on WP. It works well, but you have to pay to not get cut off every 5mins or so. I wish WP would also be able to show live streams on the actual Twitch TV website.

What will come first the app for flash player on WP8 or a new OS. I think this is biggest lack of app now. It seems there is no end in site for flash, its time MS paid for developing it. Anyone have any insight on this WP8 missing piece.

Adobe as of the year before last pulled out of the mobile market. That means flash is not even available on Android devices now unless you get a third party app that may still be floating around. All websites are supposed to be converting to HTML5 if they want mobile viewer traffic. If they have not converted then they are only interested in PC traffic and you should boycott the site to show them the traffic they are missing. Rather than make your work, you should make the sites do what they are supposed to do.

And as Solarenemy68 told you above ..... Forget about it ... Flash is OFF from the mobile market. (iOS Android WP ) ..period !!!!
I recently bought an MHL adapter for my Z2 tablet but I can't play any purchased Google Play movies or shows on my TV. I just get an on screen message on the tablet saying that "premium content cannot be played on this screen as it is not secure". I have a fairly modern (5 years old) LG television with HD capabilities so I am not sure why this is happening.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
It's built into the software. They want you to buy a Sony bluray or Sony TV to watch Sony unlimited movies on a big screen! One of the many reasons people avoid buying movies using proprietary systems. If it's a movie you bought using video unlimited you are sh!t out of luck I'm afraid. If it's a divx you have downloaded via torrents etc, try other apps like mx player, Mobo player or vlc player.
If your TV supports wifi direct you may want to try that, but I expect it will produce the same results.

Thanks for the reply.
It's just frustrating that Google claim you can watch anything bought through them via MHL on a TV, only for Sony to prevent it in their software.
Interestingly, I found today that I can play the content via the YouTube app instead which solves the problem I suppose but it still irritates me that I have to go around the houses to play things I have actually bought!

LOL! I think this could even be true, it would be typical for Sony! Reminds me of their locked down DVD and BD players and their malware-Audio-CDs :laugh:
Fortunately you don't need to run Sony's OS at all - at least they let you unlock the bootloader. I'm running PAC ROM at the moment, and I don't miss any feature.

I assumed it was a video you had bought from Sony. If you bought it via Google play I'm sure there are loads of options documented on the Internet that let you play it however you want.

Yes, I'm sure you're right, it just baffles me why it won't play through the standard Google Play movies app but will do via YouTube!
Thanks again for taking the time to answer.

Thanks for the reply; at least I am not stuck with the Sony software if I should want to change it!
