Downloaded Music

Why can't i play any of my music that has been downloaded and paid for from Tesco or iTunes? The tesco's music is in WMA format and i have all the relevent codecs as i can play other WMA that hasn't been downloaded. My music from iTunes is MPEG-4.

The problem i get with music from Tesco is;

Quote:
The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. (Media stream scrambled/encrypted)
and the problem i get with music from iTunes is;

Quote:
The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. (DRM-protected Quicktime file)
What do i need to get in order to play these files?

As you can see they're encrypted. If you wan't itunes on linux and windows (no drm), try sharpmusique. Don't buy the other one. All you are doing is promoting something you obviously dont like. You can also get out of your stinky room (mine is), and visit your local music store and buy a cd.

No matter how many mp3s you have, there is no substitute for a stack of album covers in the corner of your room

I didn't know sharpmusique took off the DRM, I thought it was just a linux client for iTMS. Huh...something to think about...

As a matter of fact, I've been meaning to sell all those CDs stacked in the corner of my room. I've ripped all of them and have no need to let them occupy a big part of my room.
