Once I get a few replies, move it to hardware or lock it if you like, I just need to sort this out quickly.

Says a security update is required then takes me to some site that I have to register for.

Your media player cannot find a valid license for the file you are trying to play. To be issued with a license, enter your details below and hit go.

Right, well I should have that license, but I don't. And it won't install. At all. Even though I've paid.

Cock.

Does it say what license is needed? Whats the site it takes you to Trem?

Takes me to relicensing.od2.com and asks for an email or user name Tom.

Check this is correct and try again.

Honestly, why fucking bother? I get charged for streams that don't work, downloaded tracks won't play. Fucking waste of time, and there isn't a phone number to use, I'll have to wait 2 weeks for some bored vdu operator to email me a bunch of wanky questions that won't help in any way.

Roll on warez tbh.

Where did you d/l it from?

 

[Tom]

Well, I tried to use Napster to listen to a few tracks I was interested in. Napster didn't work, saying it couldn't configure my wmp correctly.

So I removed it, and then tried the MSN music plugin for wmp (under premium services). Filled in the details, bought some credit, and everything seemed fine. It will happily give me 30 second previews of tracks, but I can't stream stuff (£0.01), and it won't play the above track, which is the test track they link you to in order to check your system out.

So basically the DRM thingymabob on my computer is fucked, and google won't tell me why I have to wait for someone to email me specifics.

 

[dysfunction]

Bloody hell! How these people ever stay in business is beyond me.
Some morons love making things complicated technologies which never work properly...

 

[Tilda]

Takes me to a DRM lisencing site, dunno if that helps?

 

[Tom]

Nice one microsoft. Fuck you.
