Your library would definitely have put some form of DRM on the files in order to (try to) prevent any possible distribution of the files outside of your own personal use. The official firmware would be able to play the file because it will be able to use the required key/whatever to access the DRM-protected file.
Mescalero:
OK, Thanks for your help. Since audio books downloaded from my library is pretty much all I do with my player, It looks like Rockbox is out. I really wanted it for the bookmark abilities. Oh Well.
Chronon:
You can check out Project Gutenberg for a collection of public domain audio books. :)
Edit:* Chronon should use the spell check feature!

I too suffer the same fate as 'Mescalaro'. Legally downloaded audiobook WMA files show up on Rockbox but won't play. These books are legal downloads with licensing through NYS (in my case) library system, licensed through Microsoft Windows Media player and will play on other MP3 players, including this Sansa using it's original software. Unfortunately, Sansa doesn't include any bookmark feature in their menus, so it sure would be nice to use Rockbox. Does anyone know of a work-around for this problem? And while we're at it, where exactly should one put music files when adding them to a Sansa c250? Into the root directory, or into one of the Sansa files, i.e. Music, Albums, Playlists, etc..?? Thanks for any help.
Oh yeah, to 'Chronin' "Project Gutenberg" is okay, but only if you like the real old classics. The books released there have been out of print for a long, long time. Not that some aren't worth reading, it's just that the library system has a better, more up to date selection.
Llorean:
There is no legal way to work around this problem. They are DRM restricted. It's that simple. Complain to them for encrypting their audio and making it unusable on the majority of devices and softwares.
