Play DRM protected music downloads on N80, e.g. iTunes AAC or WMA?

[rjamesd]

Is it possible to play iTunes protected DRM (Digital Rights Management) AAC files on the N80? Also what about WMA files from other vendors?

I'd like to download songs from iTunes and other vendors - e.g. Napster, copy the files into the N80 via USB.

For iTunes, we will have have to wait for one of the following:
1. Apple licences their Fairplay DRM solution to other companies.
2. Apple release iTunes for the S60 3rd Edition.

For both of those, we will have a long wait.

However, in the meantime, why not just burn your iTunes purchases to CD, and then re-rip them as MP3, then copy them to your memory card? A bit long winded but it works for me, and you don't loose any (noticable) sound quality.

Finally, don't forget that you can rip your existing CD collection into iTunes as unprotected MP3 anyway.

Sorry I don't know about protected WMA.

The N80 does play protected WMA files.

How?

The N80 does not play DRM protected WMA (at least not with its current firmware version; I don't know if Nokia will update the software with Windows Media DRM support or not).
