Why won't the songs I downloaded sync to my Zune?

I downloaded a bunch of songs last night and this morning I tried to sync them to my zune and it said "error" or "skipped". I've tried deleting the songs out of my library and redownload them but it still didn't work. How can I fix this?

where did you download them, and what type of file are they? There might be an error in the file type.

They are probably drm'ed with Plays-for-Sure, or ITunes. If you dl'ed them from Marketplace and you are getting this error then I don't know what's wrong.

If you did dl them from someplace with different drm protection, like Spiralfrog which I highly recommend for anyone here, then do a search for FairUseforWM and it will strip the copy protection from the songs...or so I've heard.

Well you can try rebooting your system, Uninstall Zune then reinstall, relocate your library, Strip the music of DRM or just one song to see if that is the problem, make sure your logged in to the live account that you used to download the music. Reset your Zune device.
