I just got a "sansa m250 mp3 player", made by SanDisk. When I try to
syncronize a WMA v10 playlist with it, I get "WMP cannot play the protected
file because the required security upgrade is not available for download,"
and the sync fails.

In fact, WMP plays all my playlists with no problem.

What to do?

Thanks,

Jack Crane

I now need to add that I have just been successful in using WMA to sync
an mp3 file made by recording streaming audio. I'm listening to it now on
my samsa.
