Anyone else start having DRM problems in the last few days? When I try to play subscription music I had previously downloaded I get a DRM error and when I try to download new music it says it can't. Wondering if MSFT finally put the final nail in the coffin.
Zune Marketplace disappeared today
So until yesterday, I was still using the Zune desktop software to manage my subscription music. Search results would show me what's in my collection and also give me the option to download from the store with my 9.99 monthly subscription. As of today, search results only show me what's in my collection already, so apparently downloading is not longer an option.
Apparently I was the last human to switch to Groove. The problem is I can't figure how to download music via Groove. The app store says "instantly stream and download more music than you can imagine..." and "you have a Groove Music Pass". The only options I see on Groove are to stream or pay $ to download. If the 9.99 pass only allows streaming, I need to figure out how to cancel my subscription.

I not only created a key for Marketplace, but every available feature. See below. I created Dwords with a value of 1 for all these items, just to be sure. Good luck and let us know what happens.

2016-07-20T21:57:22+00:00 I just tried it on my Win10 laptop with the same version of Zune and it doesn't work either. I was so excited to see this post since I thought the Zune player and services were top notch. Groove's okay I guess, I suppose I'll just have to jump ship some day since I still have a music pass.
One thing that I don't like about Groove is the 1000 song limitation of playlists. I've been making playlists with 5000+ songs for years now on Zune with a mix of my own personal songs and Microsoft's catalog, and won't be able to do that anymore unless they lift the restriction. Plus no last.fm scrobbling support, or ID tag editing sucks.
