Hi David,

Im coming back to your comment above only because I onlu just bought my first track online today for the first time. As it happens, I buy it from HMVDigital, and it is downloaded in WMA, but it is still "content protected, which means that I canot play it on my SD card. Am I doing it wrong?

I download the music from the site onto my hard drive, then copy it onto my SD card: is that not what I should do?

I can see on the properties of the track that it says content protected.

Thanks for your help.

Chris

Hi Chris,

The DRM stops you copying to the SD card. You need to find a site that sells DRM-free music. Another way (if it's just an odd track or two) is to copy it using Windows Plus analogue recorder or burn to a CD and copy it back to the hard drive. Have you copied tracks from your CD collection onto your hard drive and then onto SD without problems?

Hint - Naxos sells DRM free music through its own site and through Musicgiants.com.

You can actually buy High Definition 5.1 Surround Recordings of classical music from Naxos, if you want. But for storage on an SD card I would go for their 320kbps downloads.

If you are the rightful owner of the track you are allowed to copy it to a portable player. Have you tried moving your track from within Mediaplayer or, failing that, Beoplayer?
