Q Why can't I play DRM protected files?

DRM-protected files will only play if you copy them to the player through Windows Media

Player or through the music management software provided by the online music store where you purchased the files.

Q How to Play WMA and DRM protected Files

WMA files “can” have DRM protection. In this case the file content is encrypted with a key.

For playback and decoding it is necessary to have DRM license files on your computer.

DRM license can limit your rights for using these functions. For instance, it can allow only playback and prohibit conversion into other formats. When you download music from the internet sites that require you to pay per song, these licenses may be included with the download.

In order to play these encrypted WMA files in your MP3 player, you will need to use the

Windows Media player to copy them to your MP3 player. The traditional “Drag & Drop” method will not work. Here is what you have to do:

　 Open your WMA file using your Windows Media Player

　 Click “Copy to CD or Device”

　 Select the MP3 player as your device.

If you don’t have a Windows Media player or if your version of Windows Media Player is outdated, you can download the latest version for free from Microsoft’s website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/
