Hi Everybody

I got a *.wma file. ried to run it in WMP, WMP downloaded a license, file is playing fine.

Then, I tried processing it with FairUse4WM 1.3fix, and it says: "File does not seem to have a recognizable DRM header". But the computer does have the key!
What to do?

I purchased 2 tracks from Napster on my sis' laptop. I burned those two tracks on CD and inserted that CD in my PC. I then ripped those purchased tracks on my PC using WMP v. 10. I then ran Fairuse4WM and opened the 2 ripped tracks and the other DRM songs. It didn't work. I get "you don't appear to have a lisence for this file" on all the DRM songs and "file does not have a recognizable DRM header" for the 2 purchased tracks. Can any of you help me? Thanks in advance!



Here is the real deal. The downloads have a license on the computer they were downloaded on. You can't transfer them and expect them to play unless you have stripped the DRM.
Put fair use on your sister's lap top and strip the DRM, then you can move them to your computer.
Most of us have been there, done that and believe me that is your problem.
The songs will play on her laptop now but you can be sure that shortly after her free trial expires, they will not play on her laptop.
Alternately, you can get a free trial or buy songs on you computer.

Hope this helps.
