i downloaded this video file (jay z and beyonce) and when i try to play it on windows media player it opens the media nad then it tries to aquire the license and it want go any farther. it states playadrm is no longer using drm services. do you have any clue as to what i should do.

please see this link: What you should know about WMA [and WMV] Files

its a copy protected file . dont bother with it ,there are programs that will strip the DRM out of it but its much EZer to just trash it and re download a differant copy . just cancel the DL when you run into one of those. WMA and WMV arent bad formats they just have that gay drm option and have holes that can be exploited/abused by greedy companies/hackers etc. wmv looks a little better than other frmats at verry low bitrates and i like the WMAlossless type.
