Memory card problems with Windows Mobile Media Player Print E-mail
By Mark Wilson on Sunday, 19 August 2007

My PDA seems to be having trouble with my miniSD card. I can browse the contents of the card in File Explorer, but if I try to access it from Windows Media Player using the library, an ‘unexpected error’ occurs. Why would this be the case?

Ken Clarkson, via email

This problem can be caused by files relating to Digital Rights Management (DRM) with Windows Media Player. Try deleting the files METADATA and WMDRM from your memory card. If you are unable to do so from within Windows Mobile (they may be hidden), put your memory card into a card reader and delete them using your desktop computer.

This is a great solution I have a new Motorola Q and have had some problems with the media player after deleting the music I had stored and tryed to load new music. This fixed the problem.

Thank you so much.
Happy Holidays.

Hi
Is there any body whos know the sollution for my problem with media player please?
I am not able run/start media player and all music which is specificly given to phone contact is not played.Only default windows music is playing with incomming phone call after unknown reasson.Nothing happend when I try to open any song from my song libreary.
Ther e is only way how to fix it.I have to do hard resset/default setting (That is similar to reinstaling of windows)of my PDA and everything is working ok.But after some days the same problem is back.
I could not find a reasson why it is happend. Thanks for help. Firuna
