Portable Media Players, Mobile Phones, and the Windows Logo Program

Device manufacturers are encouraged to participate in the Windows Vista Logo Program and to seek the Certified for Windows Vista logo. To participate in the Logo Program for portable media players or mobile phones, you must include PlaysForSure testing as part of the Logo certification process.

The PlaysForSure device requirements began in 2004 as a Microsoft program to help consumers identify devices that work with their favorite online stores and with Windows Media Player. The PlaysForSure device requirements are now part of the Windows Logo Program and receive all the marketing benefits of the wide Windows Logo Program efforts.

This information applies for mobile phones and Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) portable media players, including multi-function devices that can play mobile media content.

For network media devices, see Digital Media Devices and the Windows Logo Program.
