Update Error

[Guest]

After updating my motherboard, I lost all the songs I had paid for and
downloaded from PureTracks.ca (WMA files).

Now, I get this curious HTML document open up and tell me that my Windows
MediaPlayer 10 is not up to date, yet when I open Windows MediaPlayer
itself, it tells me that it is up-to-date.

I don't believe that these DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected WMA
files are very good. They're too easy to lose, and there's very little
support when things go wrong... and something always goes wrong with WMA
files!

Actually, WMA as a audio format is at the top sound quality-wise IMHO.
However, they should make it easier for people to backup their licenses as
follows:

They do prompt you occasionally, but most users resist prompts and miss them.

I forgot to mention you should be able to get your license again by contact
the puretracks helpdesk:
