About licenses and protected files Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from the Internet, CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses that protect them from being unlawfully distributed or shared. Licenses are created and managed by using digital rights management (DRM), which is the technology for securing content and managing its access rights. Some licenses may prevent you from playing files that have been copied to your device.
Copy files to your device Use the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or later) to synchronize digital media files to your device (instead of dragging a file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example). Using the desktop Player ensures that licenses are copied with protected files. When synchronizing files, always synchronize the files to a storage card that is inserted into your device.
