Can you burn the npgmc songs onto a cd that will be playable on a normal cd player? I know this has probably been asked and answered a million times before, but I can't find those threads (sorry). So here it goes again: does the wma-format prevent us from making a cd we can play in the car for example? If so, is there an easy way for us non-tech people of reformatting them? How? (I want to buy Chocolate Invasion, but only if I can make a "real" cd)
Also, is there a way of turning them into mp3s so that I can also listen to them on my iPod? Thanks in advance. | |

Of course.
Just open them in your Windows Media Player, than click on "copy to cd". And I guess if you want to transfer them to mp3, just take that CD and save them to your mp3 player the same way you would any other CD. Right? | |

I just heard so many times that the reason that they were wmv´s was that these were copy protected and could only be played on the computer. But I guess that was just false? If so, why sell the songs in such an odd format? Wouldn't mp3 or wav (or whatever the normal cd format is called) make more sense? And I guess if you want to transfer them to mp3, just take that CD and save them to your mp3 player the same way you would any other CD.
Right? Sure, if it's as easy to turn them into a normal cd as you say. | |

I'm pretty computer illiterate, but I had no problem burning a CD from downloaded tracks, and it worked fine in my CD players. I think I just used the Win media player thing to do it. Dunno about the iPod stuff. "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great.

Did anyone else get Windows Media Player crashes when trying to burn them to disc? I would love to download Chocolate Invasion & Slaughterhouse but I never could get it to work with Musicology. You better wake up, Stella. This is my town! | |

If you're having problems with burning the wma's, you could always download the mp3s of the albums that have been posted in ABMP. | |

This is correct in theory although you need to check that your CD burning software will copy WMA files. I use Nero and it won't recognize these files. | |

I believe that would involve using a Windows-based PC. No love for us Mac users. =( The digital rights management portions of the file are what sink us. | |
