Unless the songs are bought from some service that uses DRM (digital rights murk), like Napster or Rhapsody, there’s no reason to use Windows Media Player.
The easiest solution to this is to delete the songs via Windows Media Player and put them back on without WMP. Under Settings/USB Mode switch to MSC (instead of Auto Detect or MTP) and just drag the albums/folders onto the unit. Make your own folder or just throw them on there–the Fuze doesn’t care.
Look in the folders. All that should be there is .mp3 or .wma files, about 1MB per minute of music, and an album cover, a little .jpg file. If the albums were ripped on a Mac, there may also be a folder named MACOSX or little (1kb) files named ._01Song.mp3. If you see those little files, delete them from the unit–they’re not for the Fuze.
