Re:Can't play legal DRM-protected WMA files on Microsoft Zune? Remove copy-protection


It should, but it doesn't. That's been one of the big controversies, or at least issues, with the release of the Zune - that the latest MS media software doesn't support their own DRM scheme.

I'm running Vista Ultimate with the very latest WMP as well as the Zune software, both on the same PC. After I use the serial # to copy the playsforsure-protected .wmv off the DVD, I play it in WMP no problem. However, the Zune software doesn't auto-recognize it. So I manually try to play the video using the Zune software, but it specifically says it doesn't support the "online store" from which the video was obtained.

If it had supported it, I wouldn't have spent 5-6 hours figuring out how to strip the DRM from it.
