about window media player

[win2007]

On window media player, every time i try playing songs,it always asks to download license first,

Example: A license is required to play this file

The file you are trying to play was ripped (copied) from an audio CD.

During the ripping process, the file was "protected." This limits the number of computers on which the file can be played.

To play the file on this computer, you must download a license (a process known as "license migration"). A license acts an electronic key that allows you to "unlock" a protected file and play it.

and says: Error: your Netscape browser does not have "Microsoft® Windows Media Services" plug-ins installed.


To download a license for this file, click Download License.


i had tried to downloading these license but says it is already installed.  the songs i have are from mp3, mwa, wma etc.....

Q: What can i do to open these songs? thanks

Sounds like in the settings of your ripping it is set to rip with protection. You need to set this to not protect the files.  If you need help with that just ask.  Have you tried to download the licence with another browser like firefox?

I need instruction on how to do this step by step? On how to go and unset those files that are protected to not protected? 

I'm just learning here,

Thanks in advance!

Do you buy Original OS from Window? Because if you bought original OS, you will not find download license.
And you can update to high version from WMP.
Have you ever tried to download license? and what is the result?

What amp do you have? It will be mostly the same for every version
wmp 11
right click on the bar where now playing is
go to tools>options
go to the rip music tab
untick the copy protect music

It should be the same like for wmp9 just go to the tools>options menu

the DRM for windows Media Player just came out as an Update if you have it .
Another Helpful Hint;
.                      Open media player, click on RIP, Go Down to More Options, Click to open and under your Rip Settings, Unclick the Copy Protect Music box
