How Do I Use Windows Media Player
to Play Copy-Protected Music and
Video on My HP iPAQ?
Music and video files are typically copy-protected for two
reasons:
■ Music and videos purchased from various online stores are
encoded with copy protection (also known as digital rights
management or DRM). DRM is used to implement the
licensing agreement you purchased for each individual
media. This usually restricts how many times the media can
be copied or the number of devices the media can be played
on.
■ Using Windows Media Player, you can also add
copy-protection to music that you own (traditional music
CDs). For instance, you can add copy-protection to music
that is copied onto your personal computer in the Microsoft
.wma format.
