Important notice about the digital music you downloaded in Walmart.com

We want you to enjoy our music download service, we started this service from August 2007, and since February 2008 we no longer offer music that contains DRM technology, as our final phase of downloading to non-DRM music, we are about to close our DRM server.

If you have downloaded music in WMA format that contains DRM before February 2008, it is strongly recommended that you burn these files to a CD so that you can continue to use them later, and that music downloaded after February 2008 is not restricted because they do not contain DRM.

From October 9 onwards, we will no longer provide DRM licensing services, by then, if you have not backed up your files, you will not be able to continue to use them on other computers, or on your laptop, but these files will continue to play on your DRM-licensed machines.

Thank you for using the Walmart.com music download service, we have been trying to do our service well.
