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.

I FIXED IT!!!!!
looks like I have to install MS-KB929399 DRM hotfix. I can authorize now...
BUT now i have another problem!!!
after a few seconds of playing the song it stops and i get..."Not enought storage space is available to complete the operation"
I got 142MB free space in my rom and 350mb free in my SD...this would happen to any file i played in MediaPlayer..
Is it talking about RAM?

Thanks, but those methods currently no longer work in XP
MS and Rhapsody are pushing a different version of the DRM IBX in XP and the keys can't be retrieved with those methods anymore.
(are we allowed to talk about this on XDA forum)
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
But this automatic monitoring and converting sounds intriguing…I’m gonna give it a try
Hello there,
Is there an app that can route the audio output of my android smartphone/tablet to my PC? I was googling and searching this forum for this topic quite some time, but all I found was the other way arround. From PC to android is not that urgent for me, since I mounted all my network files with cifs.ko to my phone. Although there seems to be something called Pulseaudio. To be more specific - as mentioned in the title - I am not looking for a dlna/upnp solution, because there are some situations where this is not working, i.e. the audio output of applications like grooveshark.
Of course there are a lot of remotes out there: unified remote, awarremote for winamp, gsremote for grooveshark and so on. They are pretty awesome, but sometimes it is quite cumbersome to switch the remote app all the time.
Let me describe the situation I have in mind. You are listening to an audiobook on your phone with your beloved audiobook app (audible in my case) and come home. Then you activate the WifiAudioApp and it connects to your PC and the audio is now playing on your pc speakers.
I am no developer, but I think something like this would be possible, if someone could fool android to believe that it paired with an bluetooth speaker set. But in fact it is an app, that puts audio over Wifi to a client programm on your PC (certainly only possible on a rooted phone). Don't know if this is possible.
There seems to be a gadget, which offers something in this direction:
http://androidcommunity.com/android-gets-airplay-like-streaming-via-xbounds-20111122/
But I am not that interested in video, just audio.
If anyone has suggestions for me, I would really appreciate them.
Best regards,
Bel.
P.S. I think, this would be a great application. To all developers out there: At least you would have one client, who would pay for an app like this. Certainly, there would be more.
it's a great idea!
i'm also have "robo" smartphone and i love listening to music. i have got some mp3-BoomBox which is connected to my Notebook via 3.5mm.
i can listen to music from Android smartphone on notebook via Bluetooth, but also i know that it is possible via wi-fi!
somebody please help us! without any expensive gadgets like ^^^
sorry for my english
I'm looking for an app/ method that can do this and I have found two ways to do this so far;
Method 1:
- Create a directory on my computer to be used only for music that I want on my device.
- Select this directory only for Winamp computer program to search for content in.
- Set up any playlists, preferences, titles etc on the computer program.
- Sync to Winamp app on my device.
If you configure the app and program to sync anytime the device is using the same wireless network (wireless syncing is a great feature of Winamp that actually works, unlike Kies) you will have the same music collection available on both your phone and computer.
Method 2:
- Use Gmote app to remotely control the media content on your pc (you need the PC download, too).
This method is very primitive and can only play files as they appear and not playlists however this can be remedied by creating a directory containing only the files you want to play.
Best I've found so far.
for those of you who're experienced with Android, which do you prefer?
what are the pro's & con's of each?
tx for any insight
I either drag and drop files or use Google music

Yeah, Apple has everyone convinced that 'Syncing' your device is the best/only method to transfer your content.
Just plug your device in via usb and mount it's USB storage, drag and drop the files you want.
Isn't Double Twist for Mac only?
Kies is probably worst piece of software ever written by Samsung (very unstable and buggy). You only need Kies if you want to sync contacts with your PC's Outlook or upgrade firmware when OTA is not available.
Put all your contacts to the cloud (Gmail or Hotmail). And you don't ever need any of these software installed.
To sync pictures and videos, the phone should have MTP support on USB already. If you have a Windows Vista or later OS, it is natively supported protocol. No software install needed.
No doubletwist is for pc too

The best part about both of them is the wireless syncing which can be really nice especially with Double Twist that will let you setup an automatic wireless sync overnight. That being said, they both they have their fair share of problems.
Personally, I seriously dislike Double Twist's music player. I don't know what it is, but it's just not very attractive and the sorting options are just meh. Kies can be pretty buggy. The main thing I like about Kies is being able to send and respond to texts from my desktop throughout the day.
I've been really digging Google Music if you're just looking for Music sync. The only issue with the autosync feature for iTunes is that it can have trouble removing music from Google Music if you remove it from iTunes and a lot of the time results in double duty (removing from iTunes and Google Music).
Since I got my new laptop I have completely done away with apple products. I hate itunes, as it needs an update seemingly every time I used it in the past, and is no better than other music players. The only thing I would want itunes for is buying music, but if I buy music it's in cd form anyways.
Yes, syncing is somewhat useful in the sense that you don't need to touch anything, but also completely unnecessary and slow. Drag and drop files into windows media player, then use the Google music tool to automatically sync up to 20,000 songs for free to the cloud. Dragging and dropping is much more controllable too.
As for documents, drag and drop works great, and if you don't want to use cords, use google docs or dropbox to access your docs wirelessly.
What does everyone use for podcasts? I use iTunes to dl and sort by release date in a smart playlist. Coming from an iPhone, I have no idea what to use that will allow me to continue where it left off.

I only listen to podcasts on my phone - never from the computer so
Google Listen (LINK) works okay and is free
DoggCatcher (LINK) works really well and is worth the $4.99 if your a serious listener.

I use Google Listen app to subscribe to the podcasts and download on the phone directly. No computers required. I rarely connect phone the PC (only do so when need firmware update and/or rooting). Google Listen syncs subscription list with Google Reader.
Hey All,
Just bringing our software "iSyncr" into the conversation. You can sync over USB or WiFi from a PC or Mac (with iTunes) to a Samsung Note. If you are going to keep using iTunes, you should consider it, as you can keep all your ratings, play counts and even podcast bookmarks in sync with iTunes and Android.

Yea i keep returning to isyncr (wifi).
Hard to say why but I don't like doubletwist on my imac.

Hi All,
I was an iPhone man... Until I got my hands on the GS3.
One thing I don't like about it, is the PC software that comes with it - Kies. Slow, featureless rubbish.
My main issue with it is, it doesn't let me edit id3 tags in the library.
So 'Unknown Artist' etc can't be corrected, and generally organising my music through ti is rubbish.
Any recommendations on alternatives? Can I use iTunes with my GS3?
Thanks!
I think you are lost.....please go to playstore.....don't worry,, you will resume independent thinking skills when you have purged Apple from your system

This phone is great and so is the camera. I spent couple of hours trying things out and I'm very impressed. I like the video stabilization and the zoom quality while recording. Coming from S10e with crowded controls on smaller screen, this one is much better to operate. However, a gimbal would be a nice addition to video stabilization to avoid any 'jerkiness', it is still a phone after all.
Now, I stumbled upon something I cannot explain: I stored part of today's vids and pictures on internal storage and other part part on external microSD to see later on the differences in files transfer speed between UFS3.0 and the ordinary SD. I created two separate folders on my desktop for each. The pics from the internal storage opened w/o problems but the videos wouldn't(Windows10) telling me that I need additional HEVC codex from Microsoft store for .99 cents.
But my desktop's default player is VLC and when I opened the folder with vids & pics files that came from external microSD the videos started right away.
I had the same settings on the phone for either storage(both HEVC) so, what do you think of that? Well, I'll investigate it later.
edited I moved all videos from one desktop folder to another and I can play the videos that wouldn't play initially.
Re:#4 - What kind of wasp is that? Took it with about X5 zoom.
I have HEVC codec installed as part of standard Win 10 installation, but maybe due to licensing fees it is provided by computer manufacturer instead of MS(check under settings/apps&features/HEVC Video Extension)? But VLC or MPC should come with own major codecs installed and work fine even without Win10 codecs. BTW Win 10 is messed up and does a lot of strange things (for example use different program to open a file than set in preferences).
Am gonna be looking into that. I don't mind using VLC at all. I built this computer by myself few years ago as Windows 7Pro(Asus Z-97 mobo,Intel Core i5 4690K) and just recently installed Windows 10Pro for free. Funny, because I paid only $99 back then for the Windows 7Pro installation disk and now I just followed up on some article I've read somewhere on the web, how to get Windows 10 - uh, here it is: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/#34de222e-6944-44aa-8f45-8e96988880a4
and I downloaded that Win 10 Pro installation from there. I didn't need the .iso files, I just ran the disk as DVD and it installed over the whole OS with my old id # valid for 10Pro. Sooner or later everyone will have make the switch.
I actually like Windows 10 after rather heavy hand personalization, getting rid of many things I didn't like.
Sure, after you disable automatic updates (they fail on my computer every single time), disable all the tracking, spying and advertising (programs get installed on your computer without your knowledge), fix Windows search function (for example you search for some file on your computer and you get random advertising suggestion from web totally unrelated to your search query as the answer), get rid of metro apps since some don't work (I had picture viewer unable to open standard jpeg file for example), don't turn on ransomware protection (will break some of your programs) and do some other tweaks, Win10 can actually work reasonably well. At least you don't have to break into your own computer to make those changes, like getting root access on Android. BTW to play video files I prefer MPC over VLC (have both) and don't use Windows Media Player which could start dropping frames on 4k video even with fast CPU.
