How to remove protection from Windows Media player

When I copy music from a CD and copy that music from the library to a flash drive, the music is now protected that I can't play anywhere else but a PC. How to remove this protection?

Hi ToniAli,

Method 1
I suggest you try the steps from the following links and see if that helps.

When you try to use Windows Media Player 11 to play a digital camera digital rights management (DRM) - multimedia file protected, the media can not play
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/925705

You may be unable to read content protected after your computer hardware changes

Method 2
If you copied CDs for protected Windows Media Audio files, the CD must be copied again.

Uncheck "copy protect option" in Windows media player and then tear up the new CD

If your allowed to copy the CD on one computer, you may experience these problems

  • How to transfer music from Windows Media Player to MP3 Sony Reader

    When I try to transfer music to the library media player to a Sony 4 GB MP3 player with 3.00 GB of free space, it comes back with an error has occurred. What should I do to fix this problem.

    Yes, but his advice to help get rid of the error. From your brief question, nobody can guess that you are a "dummy computer." In addition, you don't say what model of Sony, so you can't see how to use it to help you!

    Unfortunately, there is no easy cure for wave-the-magic-wand. You will need to go under the hood and get your hands dirty or ask someone to do it for you.

    So, without being facetious, here's the long version. If anything is not clear re-don't post, no problem for re - explain:

    (1) read the manual supplied with your Sony device. If it says install software Sony provided on a CD or DVD with the unit and you did not and that yet, then install it...

    (2) use said software Sony for transfers - it works? I ask because I had a Sony camera a long time ago and it necessary/best worked with Sony software. Their video cameras are another example of this. But that is besides the point.

    (3) if the manual says you need or can use WMP to the sync'ing, then that's where we get dirty hands.

    (4) do the following: right-click on my computer (on your desktop) > click Properties in the menu dropdown > left click on hardware > left click on Device Manager.

    (5) glance to see if there are yellow asterisks against one of the entries in the Device Manager. If there is, note to the bottom of the unit in question, double left-click on it and a small window will open. Note the exact error. Re-post with the said error.

    (6) If no error: disconnect your Sony USB device > left click on the sign against the penetration of USB Controllers + > make right click on each entry to tour who turns and selected 'delete '. Not re-start your PC until all the hubs/USB controllers are removed/UN-installed... This will unfortunately be uninstall all your USB devices (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.), but don't worry, the driver software will always be on your PC. See paragraph after Phew!

    (7) re-boot.

    (8) let XP re - install the USB software necessary for all USB devices you may have connected (keyboard, mouse).

    (9) once things are settled down, grab the manual Sony. Check to see if you need to install the drivers for the device from Sony. If necessary, then pop the installation in your drive disc and install it there. If its so-called plug-and-play, then XP will install generic drivers and you do not have to do a thing. Whatever the option, when XP says your device is ready to use, open WMP (or the Sony software, if its necessary) and transfer away.

    Phew!

    If you have a USB printer (or other device) turns on / them one by one. XP will ask you if he can look for the drivers. Let him do his thing, as the necessary files are already on your PC (see end of point 6). and he must know where to look. If there is just one problem, you need to reinstall the driver, XP will overwrite all of the files that is already.

    Listen, if you're not happy to do the above, ask someone to help you or do for you.

    Re-post if the problem persists, but please give references of full model of your Sony Reader so I can take a look at the online manual.

    Cheetrs,

  • How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate?

    How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate

    Hello

    Method 1:
    I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

    Here's how:
    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
    Method 2:
    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
    Method 3:
    When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.
    To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

    1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

    2. on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

    Method 4:
    In the case where the duplicates are not removed:
    There are also third-party applications to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks in Windows Media Player 12 duplicate.
     
    DISCLAIMER

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
