This is god's way of telling you to not use MusicMatch.

Experiment: share up the directory containing the files, and access from a Linux box avec smbclient or similar.

Also check for any services running on the Windows box that might have an interest in Protecting Your (Their) Rights.

I'm not, offhand, aware of any constraints on copying DRMed files - just on the playing thereof.

Our PowerMac G5 can see the MusciMatch-made MP3 files on the XP laptop over the network, but won't play them over the network and won't let me make a local copy onto the G5. No error pops up - it just won't do anything.

Files made with CDex on a Win2k desktop and copied over the network to the XP laptop play fine over the network on the G5 (with iTunes) and copy onto the G5 just fine. They play fine on the XP laptop too.

It's something weird about MusicMatch MP3s, apparently. At least when made on my XP laptop. I haven't been able to find any other discussion of this issue with MusicMatch, so maybe it's something unique with my laptop. But I've spent enough time fighting with it. I'm just going with CDex for making the MP3s now.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.
