Bought songs off Yahoo Music & put them on a playlist. A few weeks later I can only play 30 sec version. Why?

Question

I don't subscribe to Yahoo Music, I use the free version. I don't think that should matter though because I paid 99 cents for each song. I assumed once I bought the song that I should be able to play the full version not the 30 second version off the playlist on my computer.

Answer 1

There are two possibilities.

One possibility is you really rented them and after a few days the term expired.

The second possibility is you have two music readers (such as windows media, Quicktime and Real Player) that can read the same file type. If that happens, it will play for a little bit and then stop. You will have to check that the program you are using to listen to those songs is the only program that can read those files.
