The music is "protected" by digital rights management.

As a result, if the MP3 player is only an MP3 player and doesn't know
anything about DRM (or device metering, a count of how many times you
copied to the device) then WMP won't play ball.

The only recourse is to see if you can burn the music to an audio CD
(removing the DRM) and re-copy them to MP3 and then to the device.

Cheers - Neil
