MusicMatch and Linksys Wireless Music System

Feb 24, 2005 6:29AM PST

I have a Linksys wireless (802.11b) music system that plays back all my PM3s stored on my computer. The problem, I had only played back MP3s ripped from CDs. I recently bought and downloaded a couple of songs from Musicmatch.com but these files won't play on the Linksys system. They appear listed but just won't play. Linksys says that they can't play back secured WMA files. Does anyone have a similar system, and if so, have you ran into the same situation?

Many bounce it to CDR and back.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it tonight. But woudn't the newly created MP3 be secured as well?

Those who try, those who wonder if it will work.

Given the proximity to breaking the forum rules, I can't reveal much more to you...
