It is highly likely that you are downloading files (or music) with a "wma" extension. These files normally have a "licence requirement" attached. If you accept the licence, or go through a process to become "licenced" to use the music file, you are giving Microsoft and other corporations visibilty of your actions. My advice is........stick to files with an "mp3" extension. These are 98% non-licenced.

That is a big issue with music and Windows Media Player, where I believe when you dont pay for your music and you have a license for it Windows Media Player denies playing the music, and I think this only happends if you play the music in Itunes first. I have a feeling it's an Apple vs Microsoft thing. Try researching the issue over the net..

did you just rip your music from the original cd? if yes, you may not have backed-up your license to play the music files. if windows media player prompted you to download the license, you may do so for you to be able to play the files...

If this happens in Windows Media Player, it's because it has detected illegal files. If, for example, you downloaded them using limewire or bearshare, then they are illegal. WMP is designed to refuse to play anything that it believes is not legit. Details at http://www.updatexp.com/digital-rights-management.html
