ok do you know what version of the ROM is on your psp?

If its pre-2.60, then it will only allow you to play MP3 files, but if you have 2.60 or later, then go into System Settings, and scroll to Enable WMA Playback.

When you do this, it will say it needs to go online to do it, so connect it to the wireless network & job done!

If the Enable WMA Playback option isnt there, then you have an old ROM

DRM is protected WMA files, ones which need a licence to play, or were copied from CD with copy-protection added when they were ripped.

Also, when/if you need to update to the later ROM to play WMA files, alot of the emulators and bootloaders wont work no more, and the latest latest rom completely kills the GTA bootloader hack, so you cant run copied games :(

Thanks paul . having trouble making sense of this bit though lol
