Hello, i have just received the new meizu (from danelec in french) and i don't succeed to use it with my music that i've bought legally on the web.
No problem for other wma files.
Meizu doesn't support it at all. To play these protected songs on a portable player the manufacturer has to pay much money for the licenses. In fact Meizu is a chinese firm it doesn't have that money.
Since you've purchased the songs legally, it may be legal for you to use the program "FairUse4WM" to strip the DRM protection off your wma files. Just google for it and download version 1.3 if you have WMP10 or version 1.3"fix" if you have WMP11 final. It will un-DRM many files in seconds.
Once you do this, your legally downloaded files will play on the Meizu no problem. It works for me.
All DRM does is mess with legitimate customers, it doesn't stop those people who know how to bypass it or where to get the files without it. Hopefully Apple now doing some DRM free stuff from EMI will help bring a wind of change (maybe)
yes my music is drm protected and i have all the licences needed.
i've bought my music by virgin.
Do you really think meizu doesn't support drm protected music ?

Fair Use for Windows media player 11 (fu4wmp11) should do the trick... Although the topic shouldn't really be discussed here. If you have acquired your licenses legally then this program will allow you to do what you will with your media.
