Q:
Why can some WMA format songs on the digital
player not be played?
A:
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:
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.
