Playing DRM files via flash drive on HU

[veener79 10+ year member]

I have to say I never got into the MP3 thing. My cell phones have been my MP3 player and for the most part I have just bought CD's on sale or online and I never got into buying MP3's. Now that I have my new Kenwood 501 and a USB flash drive and a deck that can read MP3's and WMA files I am thinking of getting some MP3's now. I had a few free download cards that I never used so I went to use them. They are for puretracks.com. You download them in WMA and the are DRM protected.

What I do not know is there a way to get these to work so I can play them on my HU. I am getting a protection error as of right now when I try to play them.

Thanks for any help on this.

I don't know of any HU that will play Protected tracks. Good luck and if you find one, let me know about it.

Just crack the protection on your computer before transferring them.

those drm-protected mp3's can be a ***** to convert. i tried it once, but the only thing i could find did one track at a time. there's probably something better, but i gave up looking. why do that when i can get a whole album in 2 minutes..
