Same for me. Transfer and arrange my unprotected music I can do with
explorer, no sweat, but it would be nice to be able to play legal
downloaded music as well. I know its possible to remove the protection
by copying to CD and back, but that is not the point.

I wanted to make sure I could play the purchased music before I bought
it so I asked IRiver Nordic. They said it would work and they also
refered to http://www.playsforsure.com/ where you can find the H340
listed. I've asked them again now that it doesn't work, and they
continue to say it should work. No one else on the Nordic formum has
said they have the same problem, but no one has said it works for them
either.

Is there anyone out there that has been able to connect to WMP as a
device or play DRM protected files?

Thanks,
Thomas
