Hi, I've heard that Rock Box won't play Drm-protected music files. Any other software options that'll make an mp3 player more accessible? Also, I'd like a Creative Zen Stone mp3 player. But the 1 gb model doesn't have an fm tuner. Has anyone ever used the Zen Stone Plus which does have an fm tuner? If so, how does it work? What other mp3 players have worked well and are easy to manage. I'm completely stuck. I have to have one that playes DRM files since most of my music is from subscription services. Any suggestions?

If you go to blindcooltech.com, they have a few podcasts on the Zenstone. I don't know if they address the plus model, however. I'm wondering how a person with sight could use a tuner without the screen, assuming that physically, the plus is the same design. I'm not being cute or patronizing, but I know how dependent on screens and readouts a person becomes with vision. Only thing I can figure is that it is done from the computer, and the frequencies are somehow downloaded to the player itself. That actually isn't a bad option, come to think of it.

Hi, thanks for the Sansa manual. I'm assumoing the tuner works similarly to one on a Cd player where you just choose the stations you want. But that's just a guess.

sound taxi will do the job for you converts to mp3 and removes drm. the nice thing is you can't just convert anyones files you have to have purchased them and it needs to see the license on your drive. Basicly it's allowing you to legally use your music the way you want to.
