You are partly correct. The "couple of days" I got was for a very interseting reason. As I mentioned I have WMP 10 installed after a thorough clean up of WMP 11. The WMP 10 IB is a 11.5xxx. one. Apparently, when I click on a NEWLY added album (like under "newly added releases") I am asked to download the WMP "security upgrade" which of course is the "new" backwards numbered IBX.

BUT with WMP10 the new IBX RESIDES SIDE-BY-SIDE with the old one. So songs that I dowloaded before the upgrade can be UN-DRMed using Fairuse4WM, but the the songs downloaded after the upgrade do not work. This is different from having WMP11 installed since it upgrades with the only IBX avilable for WMP11.

Welll...does anybody else have such an experience? Two IBxs living side by side...or am I only dreaming
