HELP!!!! I can't play or burn my music!!! (CD, DVD, Vista)

[Swampmonster]

I keep getting a message in windows media player that I do not have a license to play or copy my music.I have several thousand songs, most I have purchased or downloaded off CDs that I've purchased and even some original music and it says the same for all of them.This started after a trial membership with Bearshare.Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

I don't know much about the cd burning thrown in for use for Media Players.. what I do know is it started with companies like musicjukebox and winamp etc. that offered free burning at like 2x and then if you paid for pro you got normal burning.. I don't know if WMP comes with free burning software or not.. (I do know that microsoft licensed there built-in burning technology from Roxio formerly adaptec for xp) I'd suggest you type search's like that into google to find out.. it seems to I believe be functional for vista not sure about xp (I know microsoft never wanted to pay the fees for DVD watching for example and that's why only special versions like XP Media Center and Vista Ultimate have it)

My real suggestion is to use.. a real burner software like nero.. (and I only suggest nero light) as the other Nero is serious bloatware.. you can I believe use a trial for 30 days.. you can get it for free included with buying cd/dvd burners which now cost $20-50 etc.
