• Check the website and/or application
help system of the music download
service provider from where the
content was purchased from for
license acquisition details. For more
information on how license
acquisition works, go to www
.microsoft.com/windowsmedia/drm.
Note:
Under some rare
circumstances, your unit
might report less memory than is
available for storing music files. If
this happens, format the device to
