I just downloaded a bunch of promotional wma files and they won't play in Winamp because it asks me to get a license? How can I just convert them to WAV so I can put them on CD and play them? This is the first time I've ever had to deal with this because I don't use iTunes or buy downloadable music. If I download the license will it allow me to burn the songs onto CD? I'm wary about downloading anything like this because I'm afraid it will install spyware on my system - is there anything to worry about downloading the license from Microsoft?

So I tried to get the license and it said I could not get a license because it had already been dowloaded ten times. The tracks weren't for sale so I don't get it.

Now, I'm not very "up" on this stuff because I don't buy downloadable music and I'm not into iTunes - I stick to real, tangible music! What's the point of putting sample or promotional material on your website if no on can listen to it or if only ten people can listen to it? This is the third time I've come across this and it's aggravating.
