Thanks Bucky, that did it. Nice little hidden directory there, %allusersprofile%\DRM.

I just bought a new computer and it did the same thing when I loaded it. Wierd thing is – it works on my laptop perfectly. I hope they fix it – URGE is the only thing that works well with my MP3 player.

Heh, none of the OD2 front-ends work. If you want DRM that works go with iTunes – otherwise I’d just stick with Emusic if I were you.

[...] Forskellen pÃ¥ undertegnede og f.eks. en fyr som Chris Pirillo som kÃ¸ber DRM’et musik fÃ¸rst, og lÃ¦rer lektien bagefter mÃ¥ vÃ¦re at hvis han kan lide et nummer sÃ¥ kÃ¸ber han det, DRM eller ej – hvorimod jeg afskyr DRM og alt dets vÃ¦sen sÃ¥ meget sÃ¥ jeg aldrig kunne finde pÃ¥ at lange penge over disken i fÃ¸rste omgang.

I had the same issue when I first tried Urge (before I downloaded any content). I don’t know if this screws up your licenses if you already have files.

I resolved it by doing the following:
Move/Delete all files in %allusersprofile%\DRM
Visit http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp
Click Upgrade
Restart Urge

How ironic. I got this message today when trying to sync my Creative Vision M today even though I could do it successfully until then. Luckily I rebooted and it worked again. Weird.

It’s not the DRM that has an issue. It’s an error in Urge. I had the same issue on a clean install of WMP11 on a clean install of WIndows XP. It’s BS, and Urge has no idea how to fix it. I’ve been around and around with them about this already.

There USED TO be a way to back up your DRM via Windows Media Player. I blogged it here: http://www.techlifeweb.com/2006/02/licensed-content-in-windows-media.html
I was just checking today and MS has _disabled_ that feature in Windows Media Player 11.
Nice.

Ah, DRM… As a Linux user I don’t usually run into that landmine. Usually. The other day I stopped at McDonalds for a bite to eat and they have a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ contest where you get codes on large drinks and fries and enter them on a website. I didn’t win :) But… I was offered a ‘free music download’.

“Pirates_of_The_Caribbean-_Dead_Mans_Chest_Medley.wma”

Cute. OK. Hmm… In the fine print it says that it won’t play on Macs or on iPods.

I try it and it won’t play in Totem or Mplayer or VLC… Codec problem? Nope; I have the naughtly w32codecs package installed. Xine was kind enough to inform me that the “Media stream [is] scrambled/encrypted” Its DRMd. Yay.

Looks like I have an interestingly named paperweight on my desktop now ;)

t buy a Western Digital ‘My Book World Edition’. The only way to stop more DRM’d garbage like this from being made in the first place is to not buy it when it gets produced. Oh and of course, also don’t buyDRM’d audiotracks; if you’re going to buy music downloads (rather than say ripping CDs you bought so as to get higher quality; FLAC is very nice :), do it in a non-DRM’d format, like MP3.
