Maybe I got s.th. wrong but I have downloaded some songs from the official download page from this tour and wanted to burn them on a cd. But there is always the message "unknown file type" (auf deutsch: unbekanntes Datenformat). I use Nero Burning Rom. I cannot imagine but do I need the official CD, too ?? Is it only possible to burn the tracks on that cd ? I am a little confused right at the moment.
You have to burn the tracks using Windows media player.
Hit the burn icon, Drag and drop the tracks into the side (playlist menu).
You will get a message to burn - so do so!
You don't need the official CD Rom, but you do need to use Windows Media Player.
The files are protected and need a license. It will ask you for your 7digital email address/password to get the license when you first try to play the track and from then on you should be okay.
The important thing is to use Windows Media Player to listen to and burn the tracks.
Once you have them on CD you can rip them back onto your computer and play then using any player or transfer them to Ipod etc.
Beware I think you can only burn the tracks about 3 times.
Of course you can use Nero too, but you need to install the Windows Media Audio (WMA) Plug-in. You can download it for free at: link (German) link (English)
Hope this helps. Cheers!
P.S: Are you from Baden-Baden/Karlsruhe?

10 times as reported by the others. 3 is the number of downloads allowed to different computers from 7digital. I still didn't burn them, but when looking at properties->license it says following in my case:
- This file can be played an unlimited number of times
- Collaborative play for this file is not allowed
- This file can be burned 10 more times
- This file can be synchronized 8 times
- The license for this file can be backed up
So far I did one sync.

I dunno about that, because my song's license says 10 synchronizations are allowed (max)
Hm, perhaps I did two then... I know that 6 songs did have instead of Europe Live some other title for an album so I changed that after and did a sync... perhaps I checked the song that was synced twice... so total sync number should be 10. Nevertheless, at the end I will burn them once that they all are released and then will rip CD and sync ripped versions instead.
