Microsoft to nuke MSN Music DRM keys

Recommended Posts

Customers who have purchased music from Microsoft's now-defunct MSN Music store are now facing a decision they never anticipated making: commit to which computers (and OS) they want to authorize forever, or give up access to the music they paid for. Why? Because Microsoft has decided that it's done supporting the service and will be turning off the MSN Music license servers by the end of August.

What it means is if you want to move the music to another computer, or upgrade the OS the music won't play. Even though you paid for it.

There are just too many problems with this sort of crap. This is actually one of the more annoying parts I've run into with such programs in the past, it's very difficult to transfer music to where I want it to be. Then the files expire or something and I have to redownload them.
