They issued advance warnings with instructions on how to save what you wanted. Example? Sure -> http://www.technewsworld.com/story/63948.html
So the question is "How many didn't take that advice?"
I'm so embarrassed to admit this, but how do you renew the licenses for music you've bought online. I have a Sansa e250 and it will not let me play any purchased tracks (other than mp3s). It keeps saying I need to sync my music. How do I do this? Is it automatic when you connect your player? If it is, why isn't it working?
