Why can't I add songs purchased from yahoo music to my adobe photoshop slide shows?

Question

I'm not able to insert purchased yahoo music songs to my slide show cd's using photoshop elements 4.0. How can I do that?

Answer 1

I believe this is due to the fact that the songs you purchase from Yahoo! Music are protected with Digital Rights Management (DRM). This is designed to prevent file sharing.



The drawback to this is that unless a program supports the DRM codec, you won't be able to play/use the song file. In this case, I don't think Photoshop Elements 4.0 supports DRM, so it doesn't know what to do with the file.



A quick work around is to burn the song to CD through the Yahoo Music Engine, then rip it back to MP3. Or, find a stream ripper like Total Recorder, play the song in YME and use the ripper to rip to MP3.
