Okay, that's great. But I own the same player, I'm telling you that patch
or not will not make a difference. that player CAN NOT decode DRM-enable
files. This has nothing to do with Microsoft, you can't use iRiver's
software to do it either, the player can NOT decode the files. I'm sorry
that you don't understand this,but no hard feelings.
