Can anyone help please, Had windows media player, brought mp3 player for our daughter, had p.c. updated, lost windows media player. Tried uninstallind and reinstalling but get the same thing 'no licence can be found' daughter cannot use mp3 player as it won't copy her c.d's. Any advice please Thanks Jan

I do not know the program but sometimes you have to register ownership to activate it. This can usualy be done online.

Thanks Carol and Bob Jan

Thanks Sue Will give it a go Did try series 9 earlier but only comp with 98 2nd edition Jan

Jan What exactly is it your trying to do Paul

Hi Paul My daughter wants to copy some of her c.d's onto her mp3 player but whenever she trys to copy them onto pc first we get the message'no license found' which we don't understand, untill we had p.c. updated it wasn't a problem. Tried every thing, uninstall, reinstall, Any ideas please Thanks Jan (desparate mum)

are they bought cds ?? are u converting to mp3 first ?? Paul

Hi Paul Yes they are original c.d's same ones that she was using before update. Sorry don't get the ' converting to mp3' bit Jan

Sue you can flower lol I know too been using mp3 audio for 8 yrs and have a total of 8000 plus albums Paul

Thanks anyway Susannah Jan

MP3 is audio that has been compressed made smaller than normal thats what an mp3 play uses so I am assuming you will have to convert your audio cds to the mp3 format before u can use them on the mp3 player. what program you using to put the tracks on to mp3 player?? Paul

Paul Daughter says' how do you do that please' Was working untill update ( more memory) we then lost license's and can't c.d's them to copy to computer Jan

to convert cds I use a program called audio grabber or any audio ripper Paul

Sorry Paul But i'm a right Divvy when it comes to p.c. How would that affect the license's Jan

licences for what lol or do you mean copyright ?? Paul

Don' t know Paul, License's not found, License has either expired or has been lost,is all it says. I think you need licenses to copy the c.d which should come with media player when you download it, That's why we uninstalled and reinstalled thinking it would sort it self out. Hope that makes sense to you cos it don't to me Jan

that will be for media player dont worry bout that when you get audio grabber just install it and use it your ok. Paul

I don't use Media Player, but seem to remember that it would play MP3 but not encode (rip) it. Try Musicmatch Jukebox, it does everything and the basic version is available free from the Musicmatch website. This can be upgraded to the Plus version for about $15 and gives more enhancements. Derek.
