wmv format ? thats wierd.. that would mean 'yes' it's playable in a windows media player but not on a portable mp3 player.
Basically we're looking at 2 main file types for the mp3/4 player. The first and most common of course being '.mp3'. The second is the video format '.amv' You should already have WMP installed on your computer so you won't need the copy on the disc. It's just there if you are running Windows 98 and need to update to WMP v9.
I guess you could use i-tunes as some of these players do play protected content (mine does) but you will need to make sure they are in mp3 format before you upload them (basic)
The folder on the CD that should be of most interest is the "AMV Driver" folder. In it there should be an installation file for the AMV Converter program.. the one you use to convert movie files to the AMV format.
I can recommend a program that may convert your .wmv files from Napster (if thats what Napster does because i've never used it) to standard .mp3 format. It's called AudioVideo to Exe. It can take virtually any format and turn it into any other format .. with the exception of AMV. An example is, i can take a .avi movie file and convert the soundtrack from it into a .mp3 file. Or take an iPod .mp4 file and convert it into .mpg so it loads into AMV Converter to play on my mp3/4 player.
I should upload it to the utilities section here if it hasn't been already.. it's quite a handy little freeware program.
Hope thats not too confusing :wink:
