WMA-DRM playback

[Sudiro]

Hi guys,

Sorry about being such a newb but I need to know will installing rockbox on a sansa e200 permanently cripple its WMA-DRM playback capabilities in any way? Also, does installing rockbox give the player ability to play other formats eg. vorbis, flac?

Thanks a bundle

You can see a list of supported codecs here:

Note that WMA is not (yet) functional, although you can still play WMA(-DRM) files in the retail firmware.  WMA-DRM will be supported in Rockbox around the same time hell freezes over.

In the future, only post install questions in the install forum.

Might be worth removing the DRM [moderator's note:  Rockbox Forum policy prohibits discussion of removal of DRM].

Just be warned this might not be legal in some countries (ie USA), but for most others it is.

Good idea to just avoid DRM in future

Heh...I can't believe people actually pay for files with DRM.  Oh well...

It's also against the Rockbox forum rules to talk about it - please remove it from your post!

Wasn't WMA unsupported at all? Any progresses in that project?

Yes, there is progress: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WMA
