Is there any program that would allow me to use my songs from napster(protected wma) on my psp? I looked around a little and couldn't find much so sorry if this is a stupid question. Thanks in advance!

If you update your psp and it will allow you to run protected music also works with the oe firmwares

Is there any other way? I can't get my nintendo usb wi-fi connector to work with my psp and there aren't any hot spots by me. Thanks.

In the OE firmwares, through recovery just aactivate WMA - no connection required.

Thanks but I just activated it through recovery and it says "WMA tracks with copyright protection cannot be played" Did I do something wrong? I just hold down R while I turn on my psp and activate in that menu right?

I just had this problem a few days ago. Your psp says this because the wma has something on it called drm. it is a protection that doesn't allow you to play the file on mp3 players (sony psp). try using FairUse4wm. Search google for it. Im not for sure if it will work for napster files. If it doesn't try "wma drm remover" in google. Hope that helps!

Ok thanks! So i guess there is no way to just play the protected files and the better idea is to try and remove the protection.

yeah DRM is sucks, makes a bad audio codec like WMA even worse and a decent codec like AAC goto crap. Its why I'm an OggVorbis man. ;P
