If I switch from one subsciption service to another (let's say from Rhapsody to Napster), will the new subscription allow me to play music I had downloaded under the old subscription? Or do I have to start all over building my music library?

The best way to make sure your music always plays is to use a service that doesn't require a subscription :cool:

Shareaza.comAdvocating piracy? It's not so hot when you get that certifed letter from the RIAA demanding a payment of $5,000 to $25,000. There is no justification for piracy when you get an unlimited music legally for about $10/mo.

That's not really smart..... First off, you aren't getting high bitrate always from P2P networks. Second, there are a lot of virus lurking around. Third, there are always crappy versions of the song and not named on ID3 tags.

Yeesh, you guys are tight-laced. Guess I won't mention which torrent engine I use :rolleyes:

Speaking of bitrate, Linn Records is now offering some of their recordings for download in the original studio master 96kHz/24-bit format (as opposed to plain old 44kHz/16-bit CDs). They're a tiny outfit, so there's only a handful of downloadable albums available, but the concept is pretty awesome...

Thanks for the replies. That's the answer I expected, but it doesn't seem it needs to be that way. If I have a current subscription, and hence a valid WMA DRM license on my computer (or portable device), it seems like I should be able to play any WMA DRM music on that device, even if it was downloaded under a previous subscription from another service.
