Um, are you sure you bought it? Or did you just download it?
Napster is amazing if you're gonna be getting more than 20 songs a month. You pay £15 and get unlimited downloads to your PC so you can play anything on there whenever you like. You are however only renting these songs so when your subscription runs out you can't play them any more. However, resubsubscribe and everything will work again.
You can buy the track indefinitely for 79p and it will work with all MP3 players (not iPods,) plus you'll be able to burn it and DBPowerAmp will like it.
If you don't buy it though and only download it, the only MP3 player it works with at the moment is the ZEN Micro although you've gotta download the extra software. You also won't be able to change the format or burn it to CD as you don't own the song.
That clear enough? Because I've confused myself.
Most of these mp3 download places put copy protection stuff on all the files which means moving them between pc's and players is most of the times difficult or impossible.
