Walmart To Pull Plug on DRM Servers

WalMart is shutting down its DRM servers on October 9th 2008. If you bought copy protected music from WalMart before February of this year, you’ll need to back it up or you will not be able to transfer your songs to other computers or access your songs on the original PC in the case of a reformat / OS install.

If you have purchased protected WMA music files from our site prior to Feb 2008, we strongly recommend that you back up your songs by burning them to a recordable audio CD. By backing up your songs, you will be able to access them from any personal computer. This change does not impact songs or albums purchased after Feb 2008, as those are DRM-free.
