Why can some WMA format songs on the digital player
not be played?
not be played?
Q:
There are many different music formats for songs on the
Internet and many of them are in WMA format. Some of
these WMA format songs are subject to DRM (license)
copyright protection, which may cause unauthorized copies
of some songs to become unplayable. This system protects
the original owner of the songs. Some websites offer songs
without license protection, and you may copy and play them
as you wish - just like songs in mp3 format. However,
some websites only offer songs in WMA format with
license protection (for example:

some websites only offer songs in WMA format with

www.napster.com
and
www.musicmatch.com
). To play these songs you can only
use your PC with a Windows Media Player that has obtained
the correct license protection. (Windows Media Player is a
free Microsoft product that allows you to play WMA
streaming media files. You can download it from many
websites.) You cannot copy and play these songs on another
PC without license protection. This prevents the spreading
of unauthorized and illegal copies of songs and protects the
song’s copyright owner.

If you have WMA format songs with the corresponding
license protection, you still cannot just copy the songs from
your PC to the digital player. You need to open Windows
Media Player first. From its menu select “Document”,
“Open” and open all the WMA songs you want to copy (if
all of them can be played, you can transfer them to your
player). Connect the digital player to your PC via a USB
cable, and the screen of the player will display
“Communicating”. Next a portable disk (e.g. F:\) will be
displayed. Now click the “Portable Device” option on the
left hand side of the Windows Media Player. A list of the
music to copy will appear. Select all the songs you want to
copy and then click the “Copy Music” button in the top left
hand corner of the screen. The selected songs can now be
transferred to your player with the required license
protection authorization.
