GT60

:mad:Hi I have just downloaded a few songs from nokia and tried to burn them to a cd i have tried different cd's but no joy.

When i put the cd in the car or another cd player i get a read error message.

When i put the cd in my other pc it tells me i need media usage rights

WHY? when i have paid for the songs so i can play them in the car. what scam is this

Because you need to rip them to a CD not just copy it, As it wont remove the licence.

Thats what i did
Burned the songs to a cd through wmp and tried through the nokia player.

How do i rip a downloaded song to a cd?

pcombo

Open windows media player then click the rip tab and add the file.

I cannot burn my Comes With Music tracks to a CD?

Comes With Music tracks do not include rights to burn to CD. If you wish to burn a track to CD you need to switch the store mode to Purchase Music and purchase the track

So does that answer your original question?

That is your answer.

Ignore pcombo's advice - it is rarely correct.

Unfortunately, this is DRM for you. They'll take your money, but they dictate what you can listen to your music on. There will be tools that remove DRM out there I'm sure. I think it'd be against the rules of the forum to link you to any, even if I did know the names of them. I don't, btw, I avoid anything DRM'd like the plague.

This is the problem, the music [STRIKE]m@fia[/STRIKE]industry thinks it can prevent people from sharing music, but at the end they're only hitting the people who are paying for it. People who really want to share music will find a way around it.

The only thing one can do is voting with your feet and NEVER EVER buy any DRM music. Only this way the MI will learn. But even then they will blame the filesharer for declining sales...:mad:
