• Windows Media Player error message says that I don't have the media usage rights acquisition.

  Original title: Windows Media Player

  Am not able to play music in Windows Media Player to the library after the transfer of music from another computer.  Error message says that I don't have the media usage rights acquisition.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and we give the opportunity to help you.

  Cause of the error:

  Windows Media Player uses Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect the rights of content owners who protect their music or video products in this manner. You must have usage rights required to play, burn, or sync protected content.

   

  How to upgrade the DRM license?

  By default, Windows Media Player will automatically attempt to acquire the rights of use in silence unless the server requires some input on your part (for example, registration or tax information). You can disable the automatic rights acquisition. In this case, you will be asked to obtain the rights for any new content that requires them. To prevent Windows Media Player from acquiring rights automatically, do the following:

  a. click on the arrow on the now playing tab, and then click Other Options.

  b. click on the Privacy tab, and clear the automatically check if protected files need to be refreshed check.

  Please note that this setting affects not acquisition of rights of use of online stores.

• Cannot play songs from "m4a" Windows Media Player or Movie Maker, purchased & downloaded on iTunes songs

  My PC: Windows Vista Business
  Browser: Internet Explorer 8
  Problem: I am changing a video with Windows Movie Maker. To add music, I bought and downloaded a number of songs with my iTunes account. The songs play on my PC only when you use the iTunes software. The extension of file on the songs is "m4a".

  When I try to play one of the songs in Windows Media Player, I get the following message:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. »

  When I try to import one of the songs in Windows Movie Maker, I get the following message:

  "More than a Feeling.m4a cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. »

  Where can I find the "codec" above to download?  This will solve my problem?  Any advice to avoid this problem in the future?

  ==================================
  M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution
  is to convert .m4a files in .wma format and
  then import into Movie Maker.

  The following free Converter works for me...

• Do I have to install a specific program for my windows media player play a movie than US (.bup)?

  A movie will not play through my Windows Media Player because it says it does not support the (.bup) files.

  Hi matthewrayskylarethan,

  Please use the forum for answers,

  A BUP file type is a backup file created by a variety of applications, including treatment, recognition and Word presentation packages. The BUP file type is generally created automatically in the event of a program crash or if the original file is corrupted due to a programming error or viruses.

  Can you tell us where you get the file from?  What is the file supposed to be? A movie? Soundtrack?
  This could mean that your video file or the sound track is corrupted when download.  As a result, he created a .bup file to report the error.  Give us more details so that we can provide you with accurate solutions.

  Hope this helps,
