I'm sorry Ms. Jackson, but you and your record company....

Anyways, Shannon got the new Janet Jackson CD for Christmas. I'm not a fan, but it's for her, so...what can I do?

Anyways, I'm loading it on my macbook to put on my iPod and it goes across just fine. But in there, since it apparently was bought was at Best Buy, it had an offer to get free extended tracks. So I figure, why not, Shannon may like them, I'll get 'em.

First bad sign, they're mwa files (windows media audio). So I figure hey, I can move 'em over to my work laptop, convert 'em (itunes for windows is supposed to do it or at least that is what I read). Convert 'em, bring 'em back, it's all good.

Oh no, because they are "protected" content, I have to also reinput the code that I used to download them, in Windows Media Player.

Not gonna happen. I barely use Windows Media Player to play files that are native to Windows Media Player, Why would I want to have content in there?

Thanks for excluding the growing Apple Mac market, Janet Jackson and Virgin Records.

I guess we'll just have to miss out on these four tracks.
