Digital Rights Question
I have Sonar LE installed on Computer 1. I have Nero installed on Computer 2. I wanted to burn a CD of songs recorded in Sonar LE. Here's what I did.
1. In Sonar LE, I exported the audio as "RIFF WAV" files and saved them on the hard drive of Computer 1.
2. I then burned a CD with those files using Windows Media Player.
3. That CD would not play in my CD player. I thought .wav files would play in a CD player but I guess they don't.
4. So, I took the CD with the .wav files and put it into Computer 2 and copied the files onto that computer's hard disk.
5. I launched Nero on Computer 2 and tried to create a CD with those files.
6. Nero would not burn the CD. It gave me an error message that the files were "protected" (sorry I don't have the exact wording of the error message, but it was clear that Nero was treating the files as digitally protected).
What am I doing wrong here? I couldn't find an option in "export audio" to protect or unprotect files, so maybe the protection was added by Windows Media Player. All I want to do is make a CD that will play in a CD player.
