KAHBOOM Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I have a Pioneer AVIC-DI in dash unit in one of my cars. I am having a problem with purchased music from buy.com and other online stores. I can get my MP3 formated music to play on my computer - no problem. However I cannot get it to play on my Pioneer head unit.... Has anyone else had a similar problem? I assume that it has been siscussed on these forums ut I am a newbie here and I didn't find anything using the search feature. Does anyone have a work around? I could convert to regular format and my head unit will play the music just fine. It just wont play the downloaded MP3s. It is a bit frustrating because I would like to consolidate as much of my music as possible onto single CDs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knight20 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Some music purchased from online stores require special rights to play on a player. Try taking the CD you created and playing it on another computer. If it asks you to log into a site, then that music is protected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coocho Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 yeah probably has some DRM technology. Read the conditions of your purchase. See if they limit it to the computer you intially downloaded it on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KAHBOOM Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Does anyone have any additional suggestions for downloading music legally. I tried the emusic.com site ad it's selections was just too limited for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
