Re: DRM and licence trouble with WMP10

I didn't consider that the legal route for aquiring music files would be the
more difficult road--at least with WMP. I will have to rethink my entire
music storage method--time to give iTunes a try. Does that format suffer
from similar problems?

Doesn't this just encourage the average user (like me) to use KaZaa and the
like? At least I can get the damn tracks to play--not just taunt me from a
playlist!

I suggest scoring your online music test as a failure and not doing it again
LOL. You can get CDs quickly and cheaply from Amazon and rip them to MP3s
and not have to deal with licenses or broken licenses.

Hi there--
Finally tried purchasing music online (through mySask.com--Puretracks).
Everything seemed fine until I tried to play the tracks--I get a License
Aquisition window and the player displays "Acquiring license" but never
does.

The helpdesk from the online site has advised my to try the downloads
again,
but this has not solved the problem--now I just have duplicate tracks I
can't
listen to. I suspect the issue is the player. Any solutions would be a
relief--there's nothing more aggravating that having music I've been
looking
months for, yet not being

able to listen to it...

My player has the latest update, according to the Windows Media
Configuration Manager...

Thanks in advance,
-brt

I have
