Tony,
I don't see it as a compatibility issue. DRM music will play fine if it is
copied to the internal drive on my IPAQ, I just cannot synchronize music to
the SD card. It is ridiculous that Microsoft has developed a portable music
technology and made it incompatible with their high end portable computing
solution.
