This file is under drm and cannot be played

It happens so much to the point where I run Consistency Checks and Relocation checks every few weeks. And the error message we're all to familiar with lists a variety of reasons. D-Jem, Matejosa, All: If either of you or anyone else has discovered a potential reason or fix to this issue, please reply to the thread and let us know. Also, is any one of the list of reasons in this error code the more common reason? Last edited by quickswitch; at PM. I found some sort of helpful threads on the Native Instruments forum also.

ANY new playlists or tracks added directly to the music library in iTunes give the error in Traktor 5. ANY track in a broken playlist is also broken if searching for it directly in the entire iTunes library using Traktor. Traktor does not offer the 'relocate' function on iTunes playlists and tracks. I have not moved any tracks on my HDD. They are all in the same top directly on my local drive.

Even recreating the playlists from scratch still gives the error 9. I'll keep testing. In my Net Travels I found this from Native instruments. A corrupt audio file is a file that has a certain type of missing or malformed information either in its metadata ID3-tags or in the actual music data.

Is there a way to bypass the DRM protection? Users may feel strange that why their device fails to support these DRM-protected streaming files as others. Actually, these streaming media under the protection of DRM are only supportable on some specific devices or software with DRM authorization.

Pointing to the DRM-supportive problem, feasible solutions on how to play DRM protected files are given out for your convenience use.

DRM Digital Right Management is a technology used to prevent any piracy and illegal circulation of digital content by limiting the playback, copy, edit and similar activities. Well-intended it is, however, it also unreasonably forbids users' fair use for their purchased items. For them, it is so strongly defensive that they can only enjoy the music or movies on some special devices. To solve it, it's evident that you have to crack the fortification of DRM.

If you are not sure whether the file you have is DRM-locked or not, you can follow the steps here to manually check the files. The operating system works together with drivers to enforce these rules. DRM is designed to be transparent to users unless they attempt to violate the usage rules that they agreed to when they purchased the digital content. Any digital-audio content that is protected by DRM can be played only by trusted audio drivers.

These are drivers that have passed hardware compatibility testing by Microsoft to verify that they are DRM-compliant and contain no loopholes through which the DRM security measures can be circumvented. For details, see the DRM Requirements topic in the following list. Expand your skills. Get new features first. Was this information helpful? Yes No. Thank you! Any more feedback?
