Sprint Music Files

I had an LG Musiq phone and downloaded free music from the Sprint Music Store through the phone. When I got the PRO I transferred all those files, which were on a storage card, to the phone. However, the files won't play. On the LG they downloaded as a KOZ file, I guess to ensure you couldn't play the free music on any player but the Sprint phone. 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 had the same experience with my fusic when I switched to the touch. The music that I purchased with the fusic was useless anywhere else.

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.
