Your Zune won't play
everything. As for the protected WMAs, they're basically the same as protected AAC files from the iTunes Music Store. Your iPod/iTunes won't play protected WMA, and your PC/Zune won't play protected AAC. Blame Apple and Microsoft. Each have their own proprietary format (although AAC isn't proprietary, and the iTunes Music Store, unlike most WMA stores, gives you the option of downloading non-protected MP3 files instead of protected AAC files for a few cents more).
As for the MP3s that won't transfer over -- I don't know. Have to see one to see what's going on, but DRM protection doesn't exist in the MP3 specification, so there's gotta be something else the matter with those (unless some music store added proprietary protection to them, which is unlikely, and would then cause those music files to not conform to the MP3 specification).
So you've got two issues, and a baffling 3rd:
1) Any protected WMA files will only play on your PC/Zune.
2) Any protected AAC files will only play on your Mac/iPod (or a PC with iTunes).
3) Corrupt MP3s. (?)
