Did you rip your CD’s with Windows Media Player? And did you rip them in .wma format? If so, you might have “Copy Protect Music” checked in the “rip music” options. This initiates DRM rights, and opens a big can of worms! I would make sure this option is un-checked, and if it was checked when you ripped your CD’s, delete the files from both your player and computer. Then re-rip & re-copy them DRM-free.
Of course if you rip in .mp3 format, this isn’t an issue.
