My philips gogear mp3 player won't play my music because it says that the DRM licence is not available, how do I solve this problem?

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format.You can download mp3 music files from the Internet toyour computer and then copy them to your MP3 player using the USB cable.For your CD collection, you need to convert your CDs tomp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and thencopy them to your MP3 player after you have connected the USB cable tothe MP3 player and the computer.

trying to play my gigaware mp3 player 4 gb and it says drm license not available i need help

When the message 'Error' or 'License Issue' shows, it is referring to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) licences which are commonly found when downloading files. This is a method the music companies use to protect their music

If the songs are Digital Right Management (DRM) protected, the use of the file is inhibited or limited by the content provider. Therefore it cannot be played in your device.
function verify(f) { var r1, r2, r3; var ua = navigator.userAgent; if ( ua.indexOf("MSIE") > -1 ) { // MS Internet Explorer r1 = document.getElementById("r1").status; r2 = document.getElementById("r2").status; r3 = document.getElementById("r3").status; } else { // other browsers: FF, NS, ... r1 = document.getElementById("r1").checked; r2 = document.getElementById("r2").checked; r3 = document.getElementById("r3").checked; } // alert( "r1 = "+ r1 +"\nr2 = "+ r2 +"\nr3 = "+ r3 ); if ( r1 == false && r2 == false && r3 == false ) { alert ( "Please select one of the following before submit:\n - Yes\n - No\n - Need to try first\n" ); return false; } return true; }

In your Windows media Player go into tools and select options. Select rip music and untick copy protect music. The music you have in WMP wont work. you will have to put them in again after you made the changes. Hope this helps

try removing the dmr on the files heres a site with a freeware program to do this i havent tested it yet but try it www.downloadatoz.com/...drm.../drm-removal-freeware.html

It looks like you may have WMP 11 installed. You must try rolling back to WMP 10 to try and solve your problem. Follow, very carefully, the instructions here.

You need to plug your mp3 into the computer you downloaded your music from to sync it up. Go to that website and if you dont get a pop up asking if you want to sync your device. You should do this at least once a week.

"DRM" is Digital Rights Management, and is a way of 'locking' audio files to ensure they can't be copied or used in any other unauthorised way. If you are interested in a detailed explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management

When you purchase music that has DRM you will also get a licence that allows you to use it. HOWEVER, the Philips GoGear SA3125 does not have the ability to play protected content, hence the error message you are getting.

The HDD series GoGear is only compatible with older DRM licenses. You will have to load files that are in mp3 format to have any success at all with this series of GoGear.
