Playing Protected Media Files

Media files bought or downloaded from online services such as Napster, MSN Music, MovieLink, and others are usually protected by Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM). They can be played only from a PC using Windows Media Player Media Sharing. Other third-party media servers do not work with these files.

Windows Media Player Version 11 can be downloaded from

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx.
