I have downloaded TONS of songs from iMesh and am now trying to synch them using windows media to my Mp3 player. i keep getting and error message from windows media saying that there is no license or some crap like that so that i cant put them on the mp3 player. is there a way around this? can i get the license for the songs without actually having to purchase the songs (which are 99 freakin cents a piece!)? i mean, come on... all i wanna do is rock.. is that so bad? any help would be very very appreciated, as my husband and i have searched everywhere for an answer and gotten none. serious answers only please :) thanks :)

File sharing of copyrighted songs is illegal.
Copyright law "fair use" doctrine deems it okay to make a copy of copyrighted works that you have purchased if the copy is for your own personal use. However, copying rented works or giving away the copies, or using copies of works that you do not own is a violation of copyright law. It is illegal and can have legal consequences.
If what you want is tons and tons of music legally without paying 99cents a song, consider subscription music services such as Yahoo Music Unlimited To Go, Rhapsody To Go, or Napster To Go. For as little as $10 a month with a one year pre-paid subscription, you can download as much music as you want and transfer as much as you want to your MP3 player that is compatible with PlaysForSure subscription downloads.
I've been renting music this way now for three years. I have over 2000 tracks on my PC and over 1200 on my portable MP3 player. That works out to less than a penny a song a month. Cheap and completely legal.

Microsoft, Apple, and some music singers/musicians have agreements to prevent persons from mass producing thier music, especially modified copy with different singers and musicians.
