Hope that makes a bit more sense of it. It is very confusing and one day I hope they just do away with DRM altogether. |
I thought I must be misunderstanding the issue here, because I do this all the time. Thank you. But what about this statement -- HarryT, are you still here? Because this just isn't true, at least not if you put it on the different devices through the archive (the bolding is mine):

Or am I not understanding the term "downloaded?" I thought I was downloading when I send it to each device. ???
