Hi
downloaded Windows Media 7.1 from the web site. I copied all of my CDs to hard drive. Loved it! I bought a bigger hard drive and copied all of the WMA files from the 10gig disk to the 30gig disk after installing Windows Media on the 30 gig disk. I cannot play my music and have a license problem. I had backed up my licenses as suggested and restored this to the new drive. I then get a message that I need to connect to the web site to authorise the license restore. This happens automatically but I then get errors. 1st time I was told that my license files were corrupted. Restored these again and still get an error message from the web site when trying to restore licenses.
Is there anyway around this when adding a new and bigger hard drive to a machine.
OR
Is there another freeware player that I can use to play my WMA files. I don't want to sit and copy all of them again. Typing in the titles, album, category and artist was a mamoth task!
Can anyone help.
Thanks
