Interesting KB article on media formats supported
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q311886
This KB article gives a complete rundown of codecs, protocols and formats supported by Windows Media 8 on the Pocket PC 2002. About the only thing missing is bitrates supported.

I hope not. More DRM stuff in there, at least on the Windows XP side. :evil:

From what I've heard Windows XP Media Center is going to REQUIRE DRM usage. I DON'T THINK SO....

Then I won't bother. If I can't share my music between my 2 PC's and 3 Pocket PC's, forget it.

Will personally encoded MP3's require DRM in order to play and share them?!?!?

That is the long term plan - media players will refuse to play non-DRM'd media, which wouldn't be so bad if DRM wasn't such a royal PITA. :2gunfire:

Hopefully non-DRM MP3 players will always be an available option.
