HELP! why doesnt MuVo tx play (a paid for) WMA song I download from naps

gave MuVo tx to eldest for christmas. He has joined napster and paid for two singles and downloaded them in WMA format to the hard dri've.
I can play these on the desktop machine using windows media player ok.
I copy these tracks to the muvo, and it wont play them. you can scroll to it but if you try and play it just moves straight onto the next track.
I have copied an ordinary wma from a ripped cd and that works okay so I think it must be software protection
however the muvo says it plays DRM protected songs.
whats going on how can i get my lad up and running.
Christmas (lack lustre) cheers

No we downloaded the songs using napster lite (that my son has downloaded)
there didnt appear to be an easy option to use creative media source to download them.
Do i have to go back to Napster and find out what they are doing?
I downloaded IMToos 'WMA to mp3 convertor' but this then asks for the user name and password (presumably of the song) and cant process the file as I dont have these, and its not clear from napster lite how i might get them.
Why can I play the songs onthe PC but not on the muvo when I use Createi've media source to write the files to the muvo?

Why doesnt the sound play when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv play?

why doesnt the sound play off my speakers when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv?

Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided. And none were given here. It is likely an issue with the device settings, and or a conflict with the type of audio encoding used in the video and the device(s) [tv, stero, amp, etc.] actually playing the audio.

JDunlop,
thanks for your quick reply to my java.sun.com forum posting! i just got back from vacation, so i didn't get a chance to try your method til now. i pulled your email address off the website to update you on my problem playing an avi file in JMStudio (JMF).
as per your instructions, i downloaded the divx player at www.divx.com and tried to play the avi file. this is the error the divx player gives:
Divx Player 2.1
The file contains unknown video data
The file contains the following type of data:
Video data: FOURCC code "MP42"
You may need to install a new video codec on your computer to watch this video
Some quick questions:
1. Where could I find the "MP42" codec to play my avi file in JMStudio (JMF)? Does java.sun.com have video codecs?
2. You mentioned in your posting "If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck." Does this mean that I need to know how the avi file was originally coded and have the original codec to decode (play) it?
Thanks,
lac410
P.S. If you need more Duke Dollars for your help, I'd be happy to award them to you.

sounds to me like you are missing a video codecs. If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck. Download the player from divx.com, it will tell you which codecs the video needs (if it won't play). You can then search the net for that particular codecs.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

What happens when you double click on them?

I paid for and tried to download the song "Cryin" by Aerosmith but it won't let me download the song each time I go to the store and click on available downloads, it looks like it's downloading and I get an error message that the file is corrupt

I paid for and tried to download a song from itunes but the song won't dowload! When I got to store and click on available downloads it looks like it's downloading but I keep getting a message that the file is corrupt.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

Why do some songs re-download from iCloud in 256 Variable?

Some songs will download from iCloud in 256-bit, others in 256 Variable. Why that? All were uploaded/matched from Apple Lossless (ALAC).

I don't know this for sure, since I have not seen this behavior, but this is my speculation.
Songs that are matched will download from the iTunes Store in straight 256 Kbps, since that is how they are encoded. The VBR downloads are probably coming from tracks that are uploaded, and this is how you've got your import settings set up. Any ALAC files that are not matched will have a copy made of them and that will be uploaded so I'm guessing that whatever your import settings are is how the files will be encoded.

And why can I not find a way to post this message to Apple Support without paying 35 Euros?

Thanks, randers4,
I don't do auto-sync. Too much music on my PC for that. I manually copy and/or delete.
And I did delete the iTunes-acquired albums from the phone and then copied them back on:
No change...
