    What do you mean media player isn't genuine? Try downloading the latest media player from Microsoft.

    You can download free mp3s (commercial ones, and ones uploaded by unsigned bands) from we7.com. The licensing is paid for by a 10 second advert at the beginning of each mp3. At the moment these are just ads for we7 itself (so the website must be losing a helluva lot of money until it can generate a revenue stream).

    BTW, the site was set up by Peter Gabriel amongst others.
  • Make sure that you turn off digital rights management before you re-rip the cd

    Look under the Tools | Options menu then click on the Copy Music tab. Uncheck the Copy Protect Music box
