    Has anyone had tried burning their downloaded songs / albums to CD? I've tried using the Ovi player to do this and wasted about 5 cd's so far, it does a few songs then stops on certain ones. When I try to play the song it wouldnt burn in Ovi player it comes on for about 15 seconds then says there has been an error. I have tried re downloading them from the music vault but still no joy. Wondered if anyone else is having this problem or if its just me?!
    I think the DRM licence is for your computer, not just the Nokia player, so you could check whether you can play the songs in any other application (eg. Windows Media Player)

    Thanks for putting them in one place, I had mine on bits of paper eveywhere, so nice to know I didn't miss one.

    ps The Kylie Minogue album called X is free without using a code

    No problem. Was a bit of a nightmare for people trying to figure out which ones were still working out of all of them. I tried all of them and saved all the working ones to a notepad file.

    I don't even like Kylie (not her music anyway), but I still downloaded it. :D

    You get that fuzzy feeling when you get a freebee don't you? Thats why you downloaded it even when you not like Kylie's music

    you have 2 choices

    1. find a free DRM remover that does more than 1 minute of conversion or buy one.
    2. Burn the music into an audio CD-RW if you want to do it cheaply and then let itunes rip the CD.


    thanks ill have a look for drm or try and burn them on cd

    I think the Nokia system is glitch ridden,
    That is a very optimistic assessment. In my limited experience with one free code I found it utterly disappointing: often not working, with unclear license rights, burning is difficult at best, and who still uses DRM anyway nowadays? And the prices are completely uncompetitive.

    I guess with the codes they are trying to get people into the store, but certainly for me that has failed.

    I have save all the codes and my account details to a spreadsheet, so I know which albums I have downloaded on which accounts - if ever I need to re-download (no charge to do that).
    I don't even like Kylie (not her music anyway), but I still downloaded it. :D

    I am sure I will find someone who like Kylie, to make use of the free download. I had a taker for the free Robbie Williams album I had an instant-win compo result on.

    I have burnt about 20 CD's so far, without any failed discs. I listened to a few random tracks on each to check, without any problems.

    What is the best / most expensive / oddest album you have got with all these free codes ?

    For the most expensive, I 'bought' John Lennon, Anthology for £34.99, and the oddest - Top Of The Pops, One Hit Wonders, for £19.99

    Anyone done better ?

    How about Ministry Of Sound Presents Garage Classics @ £39.99?

    Happy New Year All!!!:beer:

    My OVI player has inexplicably decided to stop working (again!) - guess it's another uninstall (with additional convoluted steps) and reinstall.
