• Netscape browser to the Microsoft windows media services plug-ins to allow the download of license to play music

  Original title: music license

  How do we install m/soft media services plug ins to allow me to download the license to play music apparently my netscape browser doesn't have the plug in to allow the download

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  I am experiencing this when I try to use Windows Media Player (so recent, but not easy to find the version number) to play a .wma file that I've transferred from vinyl years ago.  My browser isn't FireFox, Netscape.

  I drag the file from Windows Explorer to the playlist in Windows Media Player, and a Web page comes up (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/pdrm/en/welcome.asp?challenge=AAEAATMvJkIGMMWfrmgMxKUeJkQMlzddByxvhfASAwJeI7q50r * BSeNHGXSEmuEa3z9B8i4S!)

Bebc75l2lX3gVmq5Na & DRMVer = 1. "& embedded = false).  The page says:

  -------------------------------------

  A license is required to play this file

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

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

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

  To download a license for this file, click download the license .

  [Button: download license]

  .. then by some Notes.

  -------------------------------------

  When I click on the button, I get a dialog box saying «Netscape browser no not the Microsoft windows media services plug-ins to allow the download of license to play music»

  .. who's actually a dead-end.  I tried the FireFox plug-ins, but it was a waste of time.

  It's annoying, because my vinyl transfer was fair use of album, and my time is precious to me.

  -Eric

  SOLUTION: Is annoying, but switch to Internet Explorer as default browser and go through the procedure described above.  When I did, he received the license, which enabled Windows Media Player play all .wma files in the directory.  (It could be worse - the software could have go me through the process for each file separately.) Other players are still unable to read the files and it's still a nuisance.

  Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC that should allow the player to be used as a
  external drive and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP11. Remove the MP3
  and restart the computer. Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.

  I hope this helps.
