About DRM, licences, and protected
files
Some digital media files, such as songs
downloaded from online stores, are
encrypted to prevent the files from being
unlawfully distributed or shared. Content
providers use a technology called Digital
Rights Management (DRM), to encrypt the
files. During the encryption process, the
content provider creates a licence which
specifies how and when the file can be used.
For example, a content provider could
create a licence that allows you to play a
certain file on your computer, but not on
your phone. Or, a licence that allows you to
play a certain file on your phone, but only
for a month, or perhaps only a certain
number of times.
Files that have licences associated with
them are called protected files.

Windows Media Player automatically
retrieves the media files from the folder

the media files do not appear in the
library, update the library by tapping
Menu and selecting Update Library....
Copying media files using the
Windows Media Player program on

your computer

You can use the desktop Windows Media
Player to copy media files. Using the
desktop Windows Media Player ensures that
licences are copied with protected files.
Make sure that you have Windows Media
Player 11 or later versions on your desktop
computer. Depending on the version of your
Windows Media Player, the procedure to
copy files may vary.
