Sprint Music Files

That being the case, I assumed they would work on the PRO simply because it was Sprint, but it would seem the PRO will only play/read the MP3 files.

Is there anyway to get my Sprint music files to play on the PRO?

I hope you didn't purchase too many songs or you may be out a lot of money.

Actually I used to have the Samsung M940 and the music I purchased through that phone from the Sprint music store worked on my Mogul, just make sure that you copy all the music files with the licenses, because they are DMR protected, and I guess when you open the Sprint music store app go to the player tab and sync your music.

Unfortunately, because of the TF3D interface, we do not have that particular app. The music store app. is in combination with Opera Mobile. We don't get that player tab like on the Mogul to be able to sync. Sprint also offers no solution, they figured that it would be all new subscribers that would be getting into the Touch Pro, I guess.

KOZ is a proprietary codec that Groove Mobile, Sprint's music backend provider, developed a few years ago. KOZ could not break into the mainstream and Groove switched to AAC+ with its own DRM. I'm surprised that Sprint still offers DRM-protected KOZ files. I think popular media players don't play music in KOZ format.

LiveWire Mobile might have a solution for you. They acquired Groove Mobile back in March. Or, you can do what thousands are doing now and Do the Didiom If You Want To.
