Does anyone know why my music would show little padlocks beside them? It's just like the padlocks that sometimes occur with Vegas files. They only appear on music that I've imported through my cloud drive, is that why I have these locks? The weirdest thing is when I transfer them to a flash drive, the locks disappear. The locks don't seem to affect playback and I can still import and vid with those songs. I'm just confused why the sudden appearance of them.

What program is this happening in? I would imagine it probably has to do with digital rights management stuff, but I don't know for sure.

It shows up with the locks in the "my music" file on my computer. I get my music from Amazon. I'd never gotten the lock before I updated the thing that imports the music from Amazon to my computer. It used to just come straight to my Windows Media Player and there was never a lock beside the song. The song I used for the November contest, I bought and downloaded in that manner and it doesn't have a lock. But then I had to update my import device and it runs it through a cloud drive now and I have to import from the cloud to Windows Media Player now. Every song I've gotten in this manner has displayed the lock. The lock only appears in the "my music" folder. When I use a song in Vegas, there is no lock. When I play it in Windows Media Player, there is no lock. So I think it has something to do with the cloud drive. But I don't understand why. It's just weird because the music behaves no differently from the ones without padlocks.
