Music songs downloaded from Windows Media Player are under DRM protection. You can only play it back on the compatible device. In order to enjoy them on incompatible devices, you have to remove the protection mechanism and convert the music files. There is a simple method to remove DRM from WMA within two steps:
1. Burn the protected WMA files to a CD.
2. Rip them off to your computer, then the DRM should be removed from the WMA files.
But it's not very convenient and may wear out your CR-ROM. Also, it is a time consuming process if you have a library of music files ready to be converted.
