Im so annoyed....

Everytime I play a tune in Winamp, this webpage launches http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/. I couldent care less about a licence and why on earth do Microsoft think I need theyre permission to play my music?? Anyone know how to get rid of this. Im using Firefox RC2 Browser?? If not I'll have to get rid of my Winamp player and re install the old version. PS This might as be spyware from Microsoft, is this a regular prob???

Thanks

It's coming up because it is trying to get the license for a DRM protected WMA files. Avoid WMA files, including the winamp bundels with music and you will be fine.

Yep Ive worked this out now....

The thing that annoys me is that I am not playing Windows Media Files, it's launching of MP3's.

Iv'e deleted the WMA Plug In and all is now well.
