I am getting error "a operation failed due to certification failure" while playing an MP3, I recently down'd. what is the problem, is the file corrupt or its has some DRM crap.

Anybody got similar error earlier...?

^^^ Looks like DRM crap. Pls state from which site/store you downloaded the song. If you didnot pay for the song then we cannot help you.

Yeh! Protected MP3 Song. You can get the Certificate ONLY if you pay for it.

didn't took it from torrents, just a song sharing site, sad that ppl sharing don't know that files have already been crippled by iTunes DRM.

And it's sad too that I have to lock your thread. If you don't get the reason why I did so then see *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/announcement.php?f=10&a=1
