</div>And the phone is such a high-fidelity player, huh?<br></blockquote><div><br>Didn't read the link, but this definitely has nothing to do with high fidelity and everything to do with greed and short sightedness.<br>

She bought rather than stole these songs. This is the reward. Friends have<br>
pirated mp3's galore.<br>
<br>
These files ARE mp3's. Such files would normally have a "magic number'<br></blockquote><div><br>They may be mp3s deep down but the DRM is probably a layer of encryption with a secret key. Without knowning the key it'll be hard.<br>
No magic numbers will make them readable.<br><br>... I suggest to return the songs, if possible.<br>And never, ever buy such again.<br><br>Microsofts response on a related question:<br><i>Q: 'If I buy these songs on your service — and they're locked to my
phone — what happens when I upgrade my phone in six months' time?' A:
'Well, I think you know the answer to that.'"</i><br><br><a href="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09%2F01%2F22%2F1914201">http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09%2F01%2F22%2F1914201</a><br><br>/Robert<br><br>
