You have to burn the mp3s to a cd (as .wavs) and then convert them back to mp3s from the cd.

I think.

The whole point of the licensing is to try and prevent you copying the mp3s wherever and whenever you want - to cut down on bootlegging. So it's not surprising you can't just copy them onto your mp3 player.

the problem is that the licences currently issued with the tracks allow you to play them on a PC or burn to a cd but NOT copy them to a portable player. I've heard comments from the PPs that they will be changing the licences to allow transfer to portable players, but this might not cover past downloads. even if they did extend the licence you would need a player that can play DRM licenced wma files, otherwise it's back to ripping the files back from your burnt CDs.
All those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand...
