E475 and overdrive audio books

[ftc1776]

Hi all,

This is my first post here.

I just got a E475 and tried to download a book to it via overdrive media console (drm wma). I can transfer to other devices without problem, but receive the follow error when transferring to the E475:

Error 0xC00D2772: A problem has occurred in obtaining the device's certificate.

I have had other Sony devices with no problems, but now only get the error. I have reset the device and even reformatted it, but to no avail.

Can it be that this model does not support DRM protected WMA files?

Any suggestions?

Welcome To ABi

It doesn't seem the E475 supports protected content. I dug up the Help Guide here http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-...=3#/manualsTab. In the Specifications and Transferring Contents Using Media Go sections it states that protected content isn't supported.
The specifications say

(*3) Copyright protected WMA/WMV files cannot be played back.

(*4) Copyright protected AAC-LC files cannot be played back.

in it's footnotes for WMA and AAC protected files.

Thanks for the answer, and the welcome! I have been lurking here ever since I bought my first sansa years ago.

I dug around a bit, but didn't see that footnote.

Any idea why they would make an about-face like that? I didn't even check this time since my previous sony (the s545 which was almost identical) did support it. For that matter, why would a device not support drm these days??

Is there any work around that I can use, or alternative software that can be installed on the device?

I appreciate the help.
