Hi john9159,
I understand your frustration... To re-emphasise one of the points of mlsmith...
MS have an enormous base of users/testers, hence bugs and such like get fixed relatively quickly.
Remember though you are paying MS for the OS/Software, and also you are an unpaid tester.
I don't have the knowledge or expertise to fix your specific issue,
I have had some issues since March, but have worked through them with support from the forum.
I know it maybe stretching it, and I don't know how to verify it.??
It's almost as though the unrestricted extras are indicating being installed, when they may not be.??

"The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported" is usually a pretty good indicator that the file is encrypted via DRM.

I think that it all boils down to a placebo effect. If you expect it to work it will, but if your mind is set against even penicillin won't help.

I'm still a little unsure why he tried Linux to begin with if Windows is so great.

O.K... I was just thinking out loud
So it's not a LL issue... It's the properties of the media/files

Hello john9159,
Do you have access to another computer or laptop ?
If so you can do this -
1 - plug in external drive containing DRM musics to the other computer
2 - plug in a lead to the speaker output (or headphone output on a speaker itself) of that
computer, plug the other end of the cable in to the line in of the machine running Linux Lite.
3 - play wmv with its DRM, on "other computer", use program to capture the line in stream in
smarter Linux Lite computer and save as DRM free mp3.[size=1em]

Or the free Ogg format. ;-)

Hello!
VLC WILL play WMAs, but VLC, or anything else, won't even touch DRM files that don't 'belong' to that particular PC.
When MP3 players first came out, they didn't have much internal memory, and memory cards were only 32-64 MB in size. Therefore, I converted my MP3s to WMAs to fit twice as many songs on the player.
Recently, I have been working to convert them all back to MP3s, as space is no longer much of an issue. Abhorrent to the concept, I have managed to totally avoid DRM...

You should also consider the free ogg format. That's pretty much what my entire library consists of. If not ogg then flac. I'm also looking forward to more widespread adoption of opus.

Hello, Mike!
Thanks for your kind words in the other post.
Judging from your posts here, you seem to abound in good ideas. Therefore, I'll look into that, to the extent that Ogg-Vorbis doesn't cause me problems in playing them on other devices.
