Try searching on Google. I did a quick search and came up with this:

Quote:

This is a known issue, Windows Media Player will not play files with an id3 tag that contains a creative commons license. This is either Microsoft's subtle way of telling you you're a communist for using CC, or a bug on there end

. We suggest users try alternatives such as iTunes, Winamp, etc.
