Re: WMA to MP3...I have been Robbed!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Intentional, apparently it's supposed to be managed directly by the
online stores (assuming they're still in business when your license
expires)

do you think microsoft intentionally removed the ability to back up licenses
or weren't able to implement in time prior to the release of wmp11?

For years I have bought my music from MSN. Now I need to convert my songs I
paid for to play on my new Zumo GPS for my HD. The Zumo play only mp3. I was
really disgusted to find i cant convert MY songs for MY use. You would think
the protection should allow our agreed use. If anyone knows of any program
that will do this please post!

You'll have to exercise your fair-use rights here. If possible, copy
the content to CD by burning a CD from media player.

Then re-rip it as unprotected MP3 audio, for transfer to your Zumo.
