Everytime i try to send a file from one of my bought DCs (ripped), the recipient can't open the file without downloading a licence.....how can i prevent this ?

I just want to be able to send some of my Music to a friend.

I remember once trying to copy some songs from a CD to a file on my PC. It created several files, one for each song, but the files were all about 4KB or something. I couldn't burn it with NERO either. Very strange.

I just bought two CDs (Jem, and The View), and tried to send a couple of their tracks through MSN. The recipient could not open them because of the licence thingy.

Cheers guys.

I hate buying new tunes (new to me, at least), and not being able to let my friends listen.....pain in the hole.

Is the license thing built in to the CD as protection, or is it that MSN is picking up on the fact that it is licensed and barring you from sending it, to cover their butts?

I just bought a new Merle Haggard CD and when I played it on my PC I had to agree to licencing. Never saw that before.

mediaplayer just steps in as a 'big brother'. the 'copy protection' in cds is simply deliberate errors put into the data to break the cd format, so older cd-drives with their worse error correction can't read them.

I can't understand why anyone would want to use wma for music though. why not just rip it directly into mp3s or better yet ogg?

Because I really don't know what you are talking about. I don't have an mp3 player and don't know what an ogg is.

Yeah. MS are a bit like that aren't they. If they had their way , we would live in a big brother state with compulsory diskless PC terminals in every room of our homes. Of course it would be mandatory to have Windows installed on them. Not a Mac system in sight. And as for Linux? Capital punishment. With NO parole 🙂
But more seriously. What is OGG. Is it a relatively new file format? And is it any good?
