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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the replies. Where/ how do you guys normally download your MP3s to be able to play them on your units?

Anyone??? Surely you folks listen to MP3s on your Pioneer radios no(?)

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.
