About Playlists
A playlist is a list of digital media files that play in a specified
order. Your playlists are available in the library, in the My
Playlists category (see previous figure). A temporary playlist,
called Now Playing, is available from the menu in the Now
Playing screen. It lists the currently playing file, as well as
any files that have been “queued up” to play next.
About DRM, licenses, and protected files
Some digital media files, such as songs downloaded from
online stores, are encrypted to prevent the files from being
unlawfully distributed or shared. Content providers use a
technology called Digital Rights Management (DRM), to en-
crypt the files. During the encryption process, the content
provider creates a license which specifies how and when
the file can be used.
For example, a content provider could create a license that
allows you to play a certain file on your computer, but not
on your Smartphone. Or, a license that allows you to play
a certain file on your Smartphone, but only for a month, or
perhaps only a certain number of times. Files that have
licenses associated with them are called protected files.
If you want to copy a protected file from your desktop com-
puter to your Smartphone, use the desktop Media Player to
synchronize the file to your Smartphone (instead of dragging
the file from a folder on your desktop computer to a folder
on your Smartphone or storage card). This will ensure that
the license is copied along with the protected file. In the
desktop version of Windows Media Player 10 or later, you
can use the Sync feature to automatically copy your audio
files, video files, and playlists to your Smartphone every
time you connect.
To see the protection status of a file, select it and then select
Properties from the menu.
