of data security. In order to access the encrypted media, End Users must acquire
a license key and that allows for decryption and playback. Without this license key,
encrypted media will not play
Creating MP3/WMA Files
You can create your own digital audio les for personal use by “ripping” your music
CDs and converting them to an MP3, WMA, or OGG.
To create your own MP3 les, you will need a computer with an application in-
stalled that can rip and encode MP3s or WMAs. Windows Media Player 10 is one
software application made available by Microsoft that will rip and convert CDs to
an MP3 or WMA le.
Ripping a CD copies and converts (encodes) the music from the CD to a
compressed digital audio le.
Converting to MP3 and/or deselecting the “Copy Protect Music” option will
ensure the widest playback compatibility of your music les.
Please visit www.microsoft.com for more Windows Media Player infor-
mation and support.
Some COBY MP3 Players have the ability to create MP3 les without a computer;
please see your player’s documentation or visit www.cobyusa.com for information
about our lineup of MP3 players.
