    Its been about 5-6 years since I last read about mp3's. I'm looking for a new mp3 player as I feel 64MB is rather small these days!

    I get my mp3s from various sources and wondered if certain players will have problems with certain mp3s?

    I read on an Amazon review that the Sony mp3 flash player couldn't read certain files for "copyright reasons"

    Can someone give me a quick quide to DRM?

    [bold]Mp3 files do not contain, and will never contain, any type of copy protection. [/bold] The files the Sony player can't read don't include mp3 files.

    These file types (but not only these) WMA, Mp4 (iTunes), RM/RAM, and Atrac (Sony) all contain copy protection. To my knowlege Sony only supports Mp3 and Atrac file types.
