Hi !

It is obvious I am little simple minded, so forgive if I ask some odd questions.

In past two years I have had phones 5800XM and N97 and changed my Lenovo

laptop to Booklet3G. And as some other N97 users I have hard reseted my N97

few times in last 15 months (you know the "use all your fingers at different keys

and start your phone" -method).

To result for all this, some of my previous 5800XM music had been locked in past

20 months. I have been told the music from old music store had some kind of code

that locks your music if you move/reload it to too many places/devices.

For understandable reasons, of course.

What I am asking now is, what should I do with my new N8, in few weeks I get my

hands on it, so I can move my N97 music to N8 without more of them gets locked?

Hi vvaino,

Sounds like you've encountered the same issues with DRM that I had last year.

In some countries the Nokia music store has changed to ovi music. Ovi music now lets you re-download your purchases in DRM free mp3 format that you can transfer to as many devices as you want.

Am I correct in thinking that you use the Finnish store? If so log in via your booklet 3G on http://music.ovi.com click the account link near the top, click download history (left hand side), click the purchased downloads tab and you should see your music.

You should see a pink download arrow next to each song. Download them to the booklet and transfer to your devices. You can delete the old DRM tracks from your phone/computer that are stored in WMA format.

Hope this helps!

Hello @Psycho!

It went just the way you told! I found the pink arrow, deleted the old 

music from my phone and Booklet, and reloaded all music back to

them!

And the music sounds greatly from both devices! I even got back some

albums I lost starting my journey with the N97. I take my hat of and

say "Thank you for your advice!" And kudos, of course.

And greetings also to all Nokia people out there, this ovi music -case is

the right way to improve your product portfolio in these challenging times.

Glad it worked out ok for you! Look forward to reading your opinions on the N8 when you get it either on the forum or Twitter.

I will write my comments here in discussions as soon as

it is available in Nokia´s Helsinki Store.
