Music files

[diggergaines]

I can see my music through Desktop Manager but cannot see it or play it on my Pearl. What gives???

[freemantle]

What does it say if you select them on the pearl??
or are they in the correct format for the pearl...I was ripping CDs yesterday, and I found that burnt CDs were not read by the Pearl.

I open the media and select music, then media card (micro sd). Nothing seems to be on the media card but DM shows they are there.

These are store bought cds.

[jfisher]

what format files are they?

[diggergaines]

Wma

[diggergaines]

Do they need to be mp3's?

[jfisher]

yes.

[searider]

wma should be ok.

Make sure you've unpluged the BB from your computer before trying to read

wma isn't supported, please see this thread:

Plugged or unplugged, they still don't show.

Thanks, jfisher. I'll convert (the music) and try again.

wma files are protected by that stupid windows drm. I think thats why the Pearl cant play them.
