windows media player license

some of my own home-made music CDs which formerly opened no problem are recently not opening due to license issues. These are not commercial ventures but home instrument recordings. Can anyone tell me how to readjsut WMP 9 to not block my cd files from opening? I am assuming that some recent MS update has "infected" my player.

 

Thanks for your response. The message I get upon trying to open a file in windows media player is

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.

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

not sure about WM9 but in 10 (better than 9) in Tools there is a "Manage Licenses" Restore I never had to use it.
Just a thought.
