About licenses and protected files

Some media files have associated licenses that protect them from being unlawfully distributed or shared.

If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your phone, use the Windows Media® Player on your PC to synchronize the file to your phone. 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 “Windows Media® Player Help.”

Note You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file properties (Menu >

Properties).

Synchronize video and audio files

Install Microsoft Windows Media® Player 11 on your PC to synchronize digital media files from your PC to your device. This ensures that protected files and album art (for skins) are copied to your phone correctly.

To synchronize content to your phone automatically

1.On your PC, start Windows Media® Player and then connect your phone to your PC.

2.In the Device Setup Wizard, select Yes, Search my computer now.

Note Skip this step if you have previously searched your PC for media files using Windows Media Player.

3.The Device Setup Wizard then shows the device name (or shows “Storage Card” if you have inserted one on your phone). Click Finish.

4.On the leftmost pane of Windows Media® Player, right-click your phone and then click Set Up Sync.
