Is there anyway to tell if a file is DRM protected before you mess around with it? I know all songs from netsearch are. And from my research people claim that .mp3's aren't DRM protected but I downloaded an mp3 and vdj claims that it is protected.
Is there maybe something in the mp3's file information/properties that shows this?
***EDIT: looking here (I have XP) http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_know_if_the_music_is_protected_by_DRM it says the file that VDJ claims is protected is not protected...so how I am simply confused, any help?
*****PROBLEM SOLVED (for anyone who's interested): i tried the same song again, unloading and reloading it to the deck, didn't have the problem a second time. still curious as to what happened.
PS: This should be deleted if no one cares.

All NetSearch songs are encrypted with proprietary DRM and can only be played in VirtualDJ.
NetSearch files cannot be played and/or manipulated in any other application (E.g: Audio editor such as Audacity.)
If you are unable to load a file then this is probably because the DRM for it has expired. You need to be logged into NetSearch in VirtualDJ with an active Internet connection to renew expired files.
For further information, please see the NetSearch section of our FAQ pages:
