Using Protected Media Files
The majority of media files that are protected by Digital Rights
Management (DRM) can be played on a Digital Entertainer HD by using
the Configure UPnP button on the Configuration wizard. Alternatively,
you can use:
• Windows Media Player Version 11
• iTunes for Windows
Using Windows Media Player 11 or Intel Viiv Media Server
Media files bought or downloaded from online services such as Napster,
MSN Music, MovieLink, and others are usually protected by Windows
Media Digital Rights Management (DRM). They can only be played from
a PC using Windows Media Connect or the Intel Viiv Media Server.
Other third-party media servers will not work with these files.
Windows Media Connect is required for Windows XP users to play
protected files. See the Microsoft documentation for these products.
Windows Media Connect is now part of Windows Media Player Version
11 and can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/
windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx
Using iTunes for Windows
You can play protected iTunes audio files by running the Digital
Entertainer for Windows software on the PC on which iTunes is installed.
You cannot play protected iTunes directly from a Mac. You must
authorize a PC and install iTunes on the PC so that it plays songs.
Note: If you use Windows Media Connect, place protected
media files in one folder, and use Windows Media
Connect to share only that folder. Then use the
Configuration Wizard to share all other folders. See
“Connecting to a Server” in Chapter 7.
