licence and DRM help?

eyelinerXirony · 06-30-2008, 04:51 PM

hey,

Okay, so I'm considering buying a zune but I have a problem: all of the reviews I've read have said that the rights management on the zune is really harsh. The trouble lies in the fact that I like getting some of my music from either p2p sources or other download sites online. So my question is: will the zune sync files that i get from sources other than a CD or the marketplace?

The DRM only takes effect when transfering already-DRM-enabled files to the zune, downloading DRM items from the zune marketplace and cancelling your subscription, or transfering from zune to zune.

All your illegally downloaded music and items without DRM will sync just fine as long as they are in a good format and not corrupted.

So my unprotected, media license-less music files should sync to a zune?

Yes.
Try not to use Limewire it fails.
Torrenting works. |I DO NOT DO IT MYSELF.|
Just google torrent.
