9.4 Playing DRM-protected media
9.4.1 What is DRM, and how does the NOXON manage it?
Illegal copying and developments related to the protection of digital content have been
issues associated with compressed music since the outset. For a long time, the available
solutions either did not convince the industry or were hacked shortly after their release.
This was one of the reasons for the sluggish adoption of the Internet as a distribution
channel by the major labels.
A music industry solution: DRM.
After a number of often painful compromises with regard to consumer-friendliness, the market is tending
toward a single system, Microsoft Digital Rights Management, or DRM. It specifies the number of times
a track can be burnt onto a CD or copied to an external medium, or in the worst case, how long you can
listen to a track.
The fact that the DRM protection has been developed by Microsoft provides are a number of advantages for
the customer: better interoperability between devices and greater competition between content platforms.
Each standardization has its advantages and disadvantages. This is not an issue for users of the MP3 for-
mat, by the way.
Where will I encounter DRM?
DRM content can be found on virtually all platforms that support online music purchasing. Portals such as
Musicload (musicload.de) or the napster subscription service (napster.com) use this form of protection. A
wide range of commercial Internet radio stations also use DRM to avoid licensing disputes with the music
industry.
If you purchase a CD and rip it at home, you will of course have “clean” MP3 files that can be played on all
platforms without time or technical restrictions.
That is not necessarily the case for “copy-protected” media that deliberately deviate from standards in order
to “confuse” playback devices such as car stereos, DVD players, PC drives and some CD players to prevent
ripping. Copy-protected audio CDs are clearly labeled, however, and can thus be distinguished easily from
“normal” CDs.
How does DRM work with the NOXON?
The iRadio is well-suited for DRM content, as it supports the most common DRM standard in version 10—
Microsoft Windows Media DRM 10 (for WMA audio files). To allow the iRadio to play DRM content, you need
server software capable of the following:
A - verifying that the tracks were legitimately purchased and the licenses are valid
B - providing tracks for playback on DRM-enabled devices
C - managing the capabilities and rights of the playback devices
