Did you buy songs from Zune Marketplace before 2012? Unless you take action, certain songsspecifically, downloads encoded using WMA DRMwill stop playing after March 12th, 2017.
What's WMA DRM?
The Zune music service preceded the services for Xbox Music and Groove, all built by Microsoft. Between the Zune launch in 2006 and April 2011, Zune Marketplace sold songs encoded using WMA digital rights management (DRM). Songs that use DRM play only when a device has a valid license, a hidden file that typically comes with purchase.
Since April 2011, Zune and other Microsoft music servicesincluding Microsoft Store and the current Groove servicehave sold music encoded only in the MP3 format, which has no DRM.
Will songs play?
After installing the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, any songs you downloaded as WMA DRM files will no longer play. WMDRM rights management was introduced a long time ago, and its been replaced by PlayReady and other technologies.
However, as long as the songs are still part of the Groove catalog, youll be able to stream those songs in the Groove app or at the Groove website (https://music.microsoft.com), or download them as MP3 for free.On versions of Windows older than the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (such as Windows 7, Windows 8, etc.), songs encoded with WMA DRM will continue to play as long as your PC has a license and youre using a music app made by Microsoft, such as the Zune software or Windows Media Player.
We recommend, however, that you download your past purchases as MP3s for free while its still possible, because Microsoft will no longer supply fresh licenses for WMA DRM files (if, for instance, you reinstall Windows) after March 12th, 2017.On Windows Phone 7, Window Phone 8, and Zune devices, songs will continue to play until something happens to invalidate their licenses (file corruption, system update, etc.). You can relicense purchases by playing each individual song before March 12th 2017, but instead we recommend downloading the MP3 version on your PC as soon as possible.
What do I need to do?
On a computer, download your past purchases as MP3 for free.
Note: This works only for songs that are still part of the Groove Music catalog. Some songs have been removed at the request of their copyright holders.
