With Windows Media 10, is it possible to save protected content (say from Napster, etc.) to a compact flash card or only to the SD card?

Thanks!

I believe so. If you own the song (bought it for $0.99) or have Napster2Go, it should work. (Haven't test that though...no PWMP10 for me :()

You can put it on either. The Secure part of SD means nothing on PPCs. The DRM is handled by copying license keys. The trick is you must sync your files using WMP10 to the Flash card while it is in the PPC and connected via AS. You can't copy DRM music to the flash card while the card is in a reader, nor can you copy DRM music to the flash card while it is in the PPC using Explore.

My approach is to download the tracks, burn them to an audio CD, rip them back to wma (sans DRM), and then I can manage them as I please.
