MJ8 and protected WMAs
« on: December 11, 2003, 08:48:44 pm »

I've bought couple of albums worth of music from MusicMatch downloads, expecting I would be able to play the files in MJ. The last thing I want to do is use MusicMatch for anything other than radio and downloads.

MJ will play one file; then, at the start of the second one, it shuts down saying it can't get the license.

If I restart, same thing: plays one, then crashes on the next.

Is this normal behavior? Do I need to upgrade MJ8 plugins at all?

Files play OK in MusicMatch, of course, and in WM Player, which I guess makes sense too. But I thought the license was embedded in the file and "traveled" with it.

I'm about to get a hard drive MP3 player that will appear in XP as a drive letter and I sure want to use MJ for organizing it.

when they sell music files, there is a restriction on with what you can play it with and what you can do with it.

if you buy music thru musicmatch if i am not mistaken it will only play on musicmatch jukebox, that is a licensing restriction that you made with music match when you bought it.

you need to go back there and read there music restrictions.

My 2 Cents: It is a mistake buying protected files from anyone
