Q

 

Why can't I play DRM protected files?

DRM-protected files will only play if you copy them to the player through Windows Media Player 
or through the music management software provided by the online music store where you 
purchased the files.

 

Q

  How to Play WMA and DRM protected Files 

A

 

 

 

WMA files “can” have DRM protection. In this case the file content is encrypted with a key. For 
playback and decoding it is necessary to have DRM license files on your computer. DRM license can 
limit your rights for using these functions. For instance, it can allow only playback and prohibit 
conversion into other formats. When you download music from the internet sites that require you to 
pay per song, these licenses may be included with the download. 

 

In order to play these encrypted WMA files in your MP3 player, you will need to use the 
Windows Media player to copy them to your MP3 player. The traditional “Drag & Drop” 
method will not work. Here is what you have to do:

 

                    

Open your WMA file using your Windows Media Player.

 

                    

Click “Copy to CD or Device”

 

                    

Select the MP3 player as your device.

 

If you don’t have a Windows Media player or if your version of Windows Media Player is 
outdated, you can download the latest version for free from Microsoft’s website:
