    MyiLibrary Audio test title
  3. Transfer the test file to your portable device.
    Click here for instructions on transfering the audiobook.
  4. Play the test file on your portable device.

If the audiobook plays without any problems, your device is WMA compatible. If your device will not play the audiobook, or if playback is erratic, your device may not support the playback of DRM-protected Windows Media files.

The PlaysForSure Web site displays a list of devices that can play Windows Media Audio (WMA) files and use the Sync feature in Windows Media Player 11. Many other devices that are not on the list can also play WMA files, but may require an earlier version of Windows Media Player or other software in order to copy the files from your computer to the device. To determine your device's playback capabilities and software requirements, see your device documentation or your device manufacturer's Web site.
