Hi Steve -
Well, it doesn't seem to work for me, as whatever I use, that blasted Digital
Rights Manager thing gets in the way, so it looks like I'll have to use Windows
Media Player. I just hope you or somebody can help me sort out how to burn
discs from within Media Player, as so far I've spent ages looking at it, but
can't figure out how after clicking on 'burn' from the file menu, I go about
creating a playlist [if that's what's needed] for burning. Media Player looks
quite complicated with it's library, and favourite playlists and genres etc,
when all I want to do is select some WMA and MP3 files, and burn them to CD!
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
I don't know about the free version, as I have the pro, but I thought the
free version would do it. Just change your plug-in, in preferences, to WMA.
To get to preferences, press Control-P.
All the best

Hi Steve -
Certainly, when I try to play the tracks in Winamp, I get taken to the
Windows Media.com website, where I'm told that "In order to play this file, you
need to upgrade your media player to a version compatible with Windows Media
Rights Manager V7. Select View Compatible Players", but when I do select the
view compatible players link, the Windows Media Player10 page opens, offering
me lots of links about the WMP, but nothing about other players, so nothing
about Winamp.
Can you advise me then, how to get Winamp to acquire the Licence for these
files? What am I missing?
By the way, if it's relevant, I don't have the pro version of Winamp, does
that matter for this purpose?
Andy

Hi Andy,
No, this is not right. Winamp will acquire the protection licence, and it
will play protected tracks, I do it all the time. You must have an internet
connection available to Winamp when it plays the track for the first time, so
it can acquire the licence, but it will do it.
All the best

Hi Steve -
My observations were pertaining to those WMA files bought from 7Digital.com
that require the licence to play them, which it appears is tied to WMP, and as
such can't then be played in Winamp; Have I got this right or not? Further, I
was asking for help in creating a mixed format CD using the licensed WMA files
and other mp3 files, using the burn option in WMP10, as I couldn't see how to
select the files to burn.

Hi Andy,
Excuse me? Winamp doesn't play WMA files? Mine does, so you must have
the wrong plug-in selected. I think you need the WMA plug-in selected as the
output plug-in.
All the best

Hi all -
Ok, I've bought my first tracks from 7Digital, and happy so far! However,
I want to be able to create a mix format CD, using the WMA files from 7Digital,
and other MP3 files I already have. I can't seem to be able to use Winamp for
this as it doesn't play WMA files, so it looks like I'll need to use the burn
option within Windows Media Player. I've looked around the menues, and at the
help topics for WMP, but can't find out how to actually get files ready for
burning, it seems more confusing than Winamp, or Express burn wich is really
easy to use, but won't handle the WMA file extention.
All help apreciated.
Andy
