I look around on this forum and I cannot find the fix for it. I have tried many ROM and all of them I cannot play *.WMA DRM file. Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Moved to the HTC Touch Pro forum.

Can anyone help please? A patch/cab or something to allow the Touch Pro to play DRM .wma file? I know that the Touch Pro can do it because the stock ROM has the capability.

stock plays it???

doesnt DMR mean its a digitally protected file?? if so you have to extract the dmr or usually syncing the file correctly through activesync moves transfers the license too

Yes, there you sync it through overdrive media console. With stock I can do it but once I use custom ROM, I cannot do it anymore. I really like the new interface 23037.

Anyone ever find a solution to this problem? It seems like WM6.5 chokes on the DRM. I too am trying to use overdrive media console to listen to audobooks downloaded from the library and am getting a DRM error. I am using Silences newest ROM.

Ok I am going to revive this post... due to the great article posted by our friends over at PocketNow.com

I have researched this thoroughly, you cannot play DRM WMA files on windows mobile 6.5 --now since I have no access to a phone with an official carrier release of 6.5 I cannot confirm that this is only for cooked roms or not. I have read 1 post saying it worked flawlessly on a Stock ATT Pure. So the issue seems to be why do the cooked 6.5 Roms not include the DRM certificate for WMA DRM files? I have seen a few posts about this after 2 days of research but no substantial answers, essentially this might be the article that leads the way for numerous people with DRM WMA files.

At this point the most I have found is that it seems that LockstreamDRM might not be cooked into most 6.5 Roms --I am not an experienced chef AT ALL, but my attempts to cook LockStreamDRM into my own ROM has NOT been successful. To my knowledge there has not been a successful LockStreamDRM cab made for that matter, other than an Orange French version that did nothing when I installed it into numerous ROMs. Any thoughts? Anyone?

It would be great if someone can get this to work on a 6.5.x rom.

It has been quite awhile since I looked into this issue, but I believe I was able to play my DRM'd audiobooks by using NFSFAN's 6.5 rom.
