Possible solution to 25 DRM protected songs limit April 11, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R. It looks like several Windows Mobile 5.0 phones cannot play more than 25 copy-protected songs as we were reporting previously here and here. HTC apparently are working on incorporating the solution to this problem into the next firmware release (lets hope A2DP too) but that could be months away so until then here is the workaround that some people have managed to reproduce so it works: Basically, the issue occurs when you try to sync a playlist with over 25 songs. At song 26 and onwards it will report an error. The trick is to break all your DRM tracks into playlists of a maximum of 25 tracks, sync one playlist, unplug phone, restart Media Player, then sync the next. So the steps are: 1. Sync DRM playlist containing no more than 25 songs 2. Unplug handset (make sure activesync icon goes grey) 3. Close Media Player 4. Plug handset in again (make sure activsync icon goes green) 5. Open Media Player 6. Go to Step 1 Conclusion: sometimes it is worth checking whether the Windows Mobile 5.0 phone that you are planing to purchase already has features that you want - like push email, stereo audio over Bluetooth (A2DP), Bluetooth profiles that you need, etc... because otherwise it could take several months until an appropriate ROM upgrade will be released or it may never be released at all!
