What is DRM?

Hi Guys/Girls!

This is for those who are portable audio technical masters!

I want to know about DRM.
What is this DRM?
My MP3 player has this facility.
This keeps coming when I try to play certain mp3/wma songs and
I could not play that song.
What is happening?
Any ideas!

Thanks guys!

The plausible one is from "Pothole Research".

Yes!

I downloaded some tracks from certain website. Those tracks

could not be played in my portable player, where as it can be played

in my PC where it was originally downloaded.

Thanks to Darude anyway!

I visited that website as well, and learned something new,but nothing connected with what I am looking for.

Thanks once again to pothole.

Cheers mate!

Digital Rights Management - Certain tracks protected using DRM can only be played -

on the player / pc it was originally downloaded onto,

for a certain number of times,

for a certain number of days,

only on certain players etc.

(any combination of the above)

DRM can be bypassed / cracked if you're geeky enough. I won't discuss that here for obvious reasons.
