Separating DRM and non-DRM music files

[jwckauman]

Hi. For some reason, I elected to keep my music collection in one folder so I have both my own ripped mp3 files from CD's I own, and files I downloading with my Zune Music Pass. Now I want to separate the two. Is there an easy/quick way for me to tell the difference between a mp3 file that I created (using the Rip CD feature in Windows Media Player) and a mp3 file that I downloaded via Zune?

If you have downloaded songs from Zune Pass / Xbox Music pass / Groove Music pass, the files aren't .MP3 unless you purchased the songs. They are WMA files. So, if you make file extensions visible, you'll be able to see which are MP3 files and which are WMA. You could also search for *.WMA to find all of your subscription downloads.

Good point. I'll give that a try. Thanks!
