is it possible to somehow use a rooted evo to play WMA files from zune? or is it completely impossible? because i know plenty of people who would love this and pay to be able to do it
From... Zune Pass? DRM'd wma files cannot be played on anything but a windows machine right now, afaik. Though you may be able to play them w/ mplayer.

I am running V15 of the WM 6.1 Ricky Rom.
Iv used some other versions with the same problem....
The phone syncs with my Napster-To-Go service and lets me add songs all I want but when I go to play on the phone it wont play just says "Cannot play any items in the playlist". "An unknown error 0X800700C1 has occurred"
Any help or ideas would be helpfull.
I can confirm this...I have this issue as well. It worked fine using the last HTC 6.0 rom.
Another thing I noticed is once I do try to play the music and get the errors the whole phone basicaly crashes. If I push the task manager shortcut it says not a valid Ce Application same for the start button and the power button doesnt respond so i have to remove the battery.

I don't have that problem. You may need to reflash the rom to fix that.
is napster to go music DRM free??.. as i know, the only firmwares letting you play drm'ed music are the htc's ones.
What is DRM?

drm is a kind of protection that allows M$, napster, yahoo and other online music stores to limit the usage of digital media legally acquired.
to play drm-protected content your digital player (in this case your s620) must be compatible with PLAYS FOR SURE standard. as i know, the s620 is not recognized as a "plays for sure" device under windows media player, so you might not be able to play protected content on it (i've used zune marketplace to buy drm'd music and i cannot even copy it to my phone)

Plays for Sure is only one type of DRM. The iTunes store uses a different type that is incompatible with Plays for Sure, and the Zune marketplace uses yet another DRM. That's the jist of it though.
That sux. It did work with the T-Mobile official rom and the latest HTC WM6 rom but maybe this one isent certified or whatever...
Wonder if theres any digital rights file or something I can copy over to make it work... I pay for the music from napster and napster regonizes my phone just seems like it should work.
Any update?
Does anyone know of a fix for this yet?
I just got napster as a gift and if this works I'll keep it.
OR is there a way to remove DRM from my napster tracks and make them regular MP3's?

to remove the DRM from the tracks you legally own, you can use 3rd party software like tunebite... search for it in torrent sites and if you like it, buy it (i don't support software piracy)
Does anyone know if there is an app that lets you play videos from the itunes store on the evo
This is very unlikley given the DRM imbedded in all things purchased via the apple store unless you can find something that will facilitate a direct sync of content between iTunes and the phone and includes a player that is compatible with the DRM.
any other ideas?
There are no other ideas. Your sole current solution is to find a way to transcode the video file to a compatible format and bypass Apple's FairPlay DRM. Good luck with that.
This is a bit interesting. I recently got a Focus updating from my iPhone. I loaded Zune up and then added my library but was told that a number of songs could not be played. No biggie as I don't really use my phone as my iPod. Fast forward to today and I had unbranded my loaded the pre-Nodo update with the new Zune. I decided to load up my library and I can now play Apple DRM free files (M4A).
Has anyone else noticed this? New feature of the update perhaps, or am I just losing my mind?
Are you on a Mac? I know the Zune Connector software was updated to support Apple audio files
I am on Windows... I wasn't sure if it would work to be honest. The first time that I loaded the files in, none of the ones bought via iTunes would play but now all of them do. I even loaded a song to the phone and it played.
That is quite nice.
In reverse yesterday Zune quit showing ANY artwork of any album, just a plain background. Even with the albums which were previously displaying.
According to the supported codecs list, WP7 can play m4a: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff462087(VS.92).aspx
Are you sure you weren't trying to load m4p files?
No, these are M4A files. Like I said, I might have been out of my mind.
Well, now I am ever happier with the phone.
I have an unrooted HTC Desire locked to Virgin running 2.22.351.3.
I use Twonkey server on my laptop and Skifta or Imediashare on my phone.
What I would like to do is play avi files stored on my Desire over my dlna network onto my tv. But I understand I cant do this as the Desire does not natively support avi's, so the dlna software doesnt see the avi files. (something to do with "Android registry" not being set to deal with avi's). MP4's work fine as does music and mpegs.
My backup LG GT540 does work ok, as it natively supports avi's. Very frustrating!
Now, I love my Desire, so, before I go and buy a Samsung Galaxy S2 (which will work, apparently), is there ANY way to get avi's to work over dlna. (P.S. I dont want to convert the videos)
Many thanks in advance.
Apparently I need to update the Android Media Database so Skifta or Imediasearch will "see" the avi files.
Anyone know how this can be done? Is it as easy as an app?
I've read over and over how WP does indeed support divx/xvid, but I can never get Zune software to actually recognize it.
Anyone have any luck with this?
Id like to see that too
www.zunescene.com/zune-divx
This gets Zune to load the files....
I currently have 3 movies on my phone that are xvid and my daughter has about 10 on her Zune player. I haven't installed anything special in order to install them I just added to the device of my choice and waited for the transfer. It may be converting them but it is doing it with out an 'add-on'
Is it possible to read subtitles also?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
it will be nice. "My Home Server" application does play some of my xVids and not all though. Not sure what encoding is on those.
