sharing WMP files

I copied some music from CD onto my computer (I own the CD's so that is legal). Since then, I built a new computer and moved the files over to it, however WMP 7.1 won't play them. It says that a license cannot be found. I turned off personal rights management, but still no go. Any ideas?

 

did you turn off personal rights mangement when you created the files or just now on your new machine?

 

Hmmm, good point. I turned it off after I copied the files. I shall try erasing them and recopying. Will post back with results.

 

Okay, new description. It only does it to wma files now. Go figure, maybe these were actually downloaded, might try converting them.

 

I think when you download WMA's, it knows what computer the file was originally downloaded to. I downloaded a WMA at work and when I brought it home, it wanted to connect to the internet to find a license. Essentially what I had to do was re-download the WMA at home because it could never find the license it needed to play the original file at home.
