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)
I think the Zune software is a bit buggy and convoluted in that I really don't understand it all. When I add a directory with movies and/or music to the synced folders it usually does NOT show up in my collection. I tried the MS Zune reset tool with no luck. Anyone have the same problem? Any suggestions.

I have found that the Zune software does not always recognize .avi files. However, for the avi movies files that is does see, it does an excellent job of converting the movies to my Surround, tho it does take some time for it to convert. The software is still confusing.

Maybe you have Zune set up to update your library once per day in the early hours of the morning, in which case, just chill and give it 24 hours.
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.
Theres already cloud storage for music on ios and theres google music already but theres still no official skydrive music or whatever from microsoft what gives here? are they going to do anything cloud storage related for music with wp7:
Great
You just gave me idea for a new app, thanks... I just hope I will have some free time to code it, currently I'm developing another app "use your phone as a hidden camera", to be published this weekend

Try Anemoplayer. Its more proof of concept at this point but once the developer implements playlists and background support you'll be streaming on the go

Hey, sound like good idea to me, haha.
Should be able to shut the screen off , and still able to take the picture *sliently* haha.
Alright, back to the main point.
Skydrive allow you to have 2GB Free... would be nice to have music up there but i mean like, is it really necessary? because i never filled my 16GB with Apps and Music.
This is puzzling. Zune is by far the best streaming service of all three OSes. You can listen to anything. iOS is limited to what you have in your collection. Google Music is the stupidest thing on Earth - why would anyone want to upload their own stuff and then stream it from there? Why would anyone choose that over Zune Pass?

Yeah, that's true. I'm using it here but I agree, it's not easy and most people wouldn't do it.
Still uploading your own stuff to the cloud and listening from there sounds weird to me. The value in Zune Pass isn't the fact that stuff is streamed, and that's the only thing that is similar in Google Music.

I agree, Zune pass is the best of the three services. Although you have to pay for it.
On a side note, has anyone set up a Windows Home Server? I downloaded an app to connect to my server and now I can stream my personal music collection directly off of it. Zune Pass + personal collection on Home Server = endless music.
I have a Windows Home Server at home and that's where I store stuff including music. But I don't stream it from there though. The main problem with streaming is battery drain. It's much more practical to just copy music to the phone. If it had more generous storage I would have to do it just once.

how does home server work? Does ur computer have to always work? When you stream is the music history saved in the zune player shuffled with what's already on your memory card?

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.
