I'm not a massive music downloader and I just got this message after checking out a WMA audio file (I though it might be good quality as bought albums that I've put on my P.C via Win Media are generally very good and are in WMA format as opposed to MP3). I eventually just clicked the "migrate license" button and the file played fine. I was just wondering what it meant and whether I was in any trouble (like IP logged for further investigation)

follow the path tools>options>copy music in wmp and see if you something that says "protect content". Basically the wma audio codec is not free and microsoft doesn't give the entire world unlimited encoding rights for making wma files. If you uncheck this box, your files won't be locked on other computers, in other words, they will be "good" files that can be played freely on any computer. Hope it helps.

to avoid stuff like this, dont download wma's. they are shite quality and can be packed with copyright protection and im guessing maybe viruses.
